Films that have stayed with you

We need to talk about Kevin (the book too)
The hand that rocks the cradle.
The Wicker Man.
Audition.
Midsommar.

A Star Is Born (the recent version). It just upset me so much. The sadness of the ending. I couldn’t get it out of my head for days.“

Not seen it but the James Mason/Judy Garland film is gut-wrenching.

Kes

I can't even look at the original poster image.

I don't know why I was thinking of films that have stayed with me in a negative way, so in addition to my last post I would also say

It's a Wonderful Life
The Green Mile
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop cafe

Hachi: A dog’s tale.

I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. I couldn’t watch it again.

Dead Poets
I, Daniel Blake
Platoon

Every time I see other posts I find something else mentioned I agree with

Hacksaw Ridge

Seriously79

Hacksaw Ridge

Yes, forgot that. And Unbroken

.

The kerb scene in American History X.

They cut it from later releases but it was a terrible and terribly powerful scene of hatred and dehumanisation.

The Pianist
Schindlers List
12 Years a Slave
Amelie
Goodbye Lenin
Breakfast Club
Mississippi Burning

Boys dont cry😥

An old one but I absolutely love it....The Great Gatsby with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. Wonderful and moving insight into the Roaring Twenties.

Thirteen (2003)
Changeling (2008)
Pieces of a Woman (2020) - currently on Netflix if you’re after something to watch

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Oh yes, The Wicker Man, the original with Edward Woodward. I so wanted a happier ending that I even bought and read the book afterwards!

Boyhood (wow)
Leon
Bridges of madison county.

Never Let Me Go 😢

Me too, and the book both really got me And shallow grave😲 Other than that I'm struggling to think of any😶

I also sobbed at Never let me go both the film and book.

I have a cat named Matilda, from the character in Leon.

Interstellar

Again, so much more than a sci fi film - brilliant, intense, and the music is wonderful.

Highly recommend if you like an intense story that is also beautiful and compelling and so moving for reasons I can’t explain without spoiling the film.

Manchester by Sea. I had to stop the movie, I couldn't bear it.

An Education
Philomena
The Fault In Our Stars

My Girl

I saw this way too young and I was fucking traumatized.

I can't even remember the name but it was about a girl literally snatched off the streets and forced Into prostitution

She was trafficked to Ireland and it was so awful

Based on a true story too

Interstellar. I had no idea what it was about and it BROKE me.

I tend to avoid really harrowing films
But Lilya 4 Ever
Parasite was also a bit of a shocker
