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

Gandhi

"Ladies" with an amusing typo I would assume

I actually object to "ladies". It makes me cringe.

Which is why I start group messages with something neutral like "greetings all", "Hello everyone", etc.

And I use "woman" rather than "lady" in general.

So many of these. Also

The Farewell. Available on Amazon Prime. It’s a wonderful movie.

The Red Balloon is one of my favourites. Sadly very little is left of the film location in Belleville.
Midnight Cowboy
Bonnie and Clyde
Now Voyager
Mississippi Burning

Roots
The colour purple
Ink ?

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a really poor film/book. Those who like it should read why it’s such a problem for holocaust survivors and many Jewish people.

Kramer vs Kramer Just a heartwrenching film.

A Monster calls had me sobbing uncontrollably.

The Deer Hunter stayed with me for ages. Brilliant film.

The Year of Living Dangerously. Really made me engage in how others live, the impact of war and importance of taking action.

Milk - brilliant film totally agree

What dreams may come amazing film but I've been unable to watch since he passed.

You've set the bar pretty low OP.

Frozen 2
Riding in cars with boys

Among my most profound is Welcome to the Dollhouse. A brilliant envisaging of the misery and excruciating awkwardness of growing up:

Agree with the Before trilogy, The Pianist.

Also:

City of God
What Dreams May Come

Nil by mouth
The Pianist
I, Daniel Blake
Girl interrupted
The Book thief

For me it has to be Viharsarok (Land of Storms). It's a Hungarian film and the ended had me utterly rocked...I had to immediately watch it again.

'Profound' is a big ask of a film! I'll go for 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire'

La vita è bella - simply the most profound film ever made.
Agree with lots of other suggestions above. Going to make a lockdown list of films to watch again.

O, and 'Synechdoche, New York'

Haachi- had me in pieces. I couldn’t speak.
Pearl Harbor- first film I had ever watched that really really made me cry and when I thought it couldn’t get sadder, it did.
Steel Magnolias- it just sums up life to me, it’s all there in that film. The happy, the sad, the humour and the anger. It’s beautiful.

The green mile
Shutter island
A beautiful mind
The road
The others
When I was younger- the Truman show

Philomena with Judi Dench as the Irish housewife who had had her son taken away from her as an unmarried Mother in the 50s .Also Elephant Man with John Hurt .Sybil was a very disturbing film as well

12 years a slave. I have never sobbed so hard

Twelve Angry Men
