To ask for the most profound films you have ever seen? *contains spoilers*

[username108]

Mine would be - Tokyo Story, Mulholland drive, Mary and Max, Good will hunting, Whats eating Gilbert Grape, Forrest Gump

American History X

Schindler's list
hidden figures - really brought home awful inequality that exists and still exists

Someone said lilya-4-ever. Absolutely the most profound.

@foggybits I love Frozen

The Magdelene sisters

I would also add The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser.

Toy Story 2. Amazing things to say about parenthood, loyalty, trust, heartbreak and how to live your life.

@Fanthorpe I remember watching Whistle Down The Wind as a child and it was the first film I’d seen that ever made me want to cry. Trouble was I was too embarrassed to cry in front of my parents so I went in the bathroom and sobbed. I can remember it so clearly. Beautiful film

High five @hedgehog44

21 grams, - had to go straight to teh bar and have a large drink after...

All about my mother (watched it on a plane and was in floods of snotty tears...the poor bugger sitting in front of me was concerned enough to ask if I was ok!)

Apocalypse Now- the size and the music as part of a film

Rumblefish, Fight Club - just seemed so different

West side story- the only musical I've ever liked!

Three Billboards is a recent film - fantastic

Cathy Come Home

Was on TV maybe 4 years ago and broke me! This was pre kids so not sure I could watch it now

Amistad
12 Years a Slave
The Colour Purple
Shawshank Redemption
Selma
The Butler
(Hm there’s a theme here...)

And yes, Good Will Hunting

Changing Lanes

@wizzbangfizz ah The Magdalene Sisters...forgot about that one. Brilliant film.

They shoot horses don’t they?

Never watching it again!

And When Did You Last See Your Father?

Profoundly moving for those of us with Daddy issues.

Spoorloos, the original (Flemish?) version of The Vanishing. Perhaps the most profoundly horrifying film I've ever seen.

I also found Babel moving, something to do with loneliness and bad luck.

Battleship Potemkin

I love The Pursuit of Happiness

Once Were Warriors

Up

@MellowBird85 - yes to 'Amistad'and '12 Years A Slave'

Can I also add:

Long Walk To Freedom
Pili
The Boy Who Harnesed The Wind

Yes @Dita73

I worked in a cinema when Magnolia came out. It's the film that I remember the most people walking out before the end. Me, I was glued and mesmerized. Simply never seen anything like it. So many people have never heard of it. I think it was a masterpiece.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Recommended for people in the long term relationship (yearly!) to remind yourself that you can be irritated but that doesn’t erase love

The Magadalene Sisters
The Wire (not a film but the last season and episode really moved me).
