Movies Name a movie that completely ruined you.

Yep first the book then like the dumbass kid I went to the movie.

Even to this day if the movie has a dog I want to know if the dog is ok. If not I don't want to see it.

Still haven't seen "I am legend" because the dog dies.

My kids watched Beethoven a few months back and by the end they're calling for blood.

Like, they wanted the villain DEAD not arrested.
 
Man, I did not get Marley and me. I've heard what a tear jerker it was. I just thought the dog was badly behaved the whole film and found it annoying, lol.
 
Come and see. It's the only movie I can remember where I spent 30 minutes afterwards just staring at a blank TV screen


It's free on YouTube but be pre-warned that although it's an amazing movie and probably the best war film ever made it's also an absolute onslaught of relentless misery and makes Schindler's list seem like a Disney film.

 
The Last Jedi

For different but obvious reasons

Ever watched a movie that just completely wrecked your emotional stability? It doesn’t have to be a horror flick with jump scares that make you pee your pants. Nope, it can be anything that leaves you feeling like a soggy mess. I can handle the gore and chaos of “A Serbian Film,” “Martyrs,” and “Irreversible” without breaking a sweat. But let a dog take its last breath on screen, and I’m bawling like a baby at a pet store. “Marley and Me” was the ultimate tearjerker, turning me into a human waterfall. I think it might have been the first movie where I cried so hard, I could’ve filled a kiddie pool.

It's impossible to hear Adagio for Strings and not think of that ending and tear up. I think all young children ages 9-13 should be required to see that film

I only saw it cause my dad made me watch it. Forgot how old I was, but most likely in that age range.

It’s a great movie. I watch it once a year. Always hits the feels and honestly, I never found any of Lynch’s (RIP) other work (as much as I think there is good stuff there) to be as great as that movie. Weird case of the film that doesn’t really fit idiosyncrasies of a visionary filmmaker being the best of his work.

The ending is very emotional. But there are so many other scenes that are great and resonate-

Hopkins shedding that single tear at the beginning.

The scene with Hopkins and Hannah Gordon having tea with Merrick. Beautiful acting from Gordon there. Feels so authentic.

Pretty much any scene with Gielgud- calling out Freddy Jones when he threatens to go to the police so he can get Merrick back. The scene with Queen Victoria’s Daughter. The psalm scene.

Plus, just the characterization of Merrick and Hurt’s work. I love the scene where he and Anne Bancroft interact.

A true classic film. Hurt and Hopkins were excellent.

The Fox and The Hound, plus All Dogs Go To Heaven

It’s been many years since I’ve seen the latter. Have to rewatch.

But Fox and the Hound is an underrated, great Disney film in my opinion. Very sad, for sure. That final sequence where Todd and Copper face off with the bear is very intense and well done.
 
Hostel was all kinds of fucked up, especially the fun way it starts, geez it gets grim after that.
 
Seeing part of that AI: Artificial Intelligence (already mentioned) when I was like 10. The scene where they abandon the AI kid is fucked. That's a movie I never plan to watch.

I used to be a goofy goober for friendship movies, so End of Watch's ending got me. The White Storm was another like that.

Total agreement 100.

Every role is remarkable for me. So many ups and downs and it's rare to find a film that can get the tear ducts flowing equally for joy and pain.

After 45 years the Hopkins performance holds up best amongst so many excellent roles.
