Films that have impacted you the most

[disappointed101]

I’ll go first. 1917. I came out of the cinema shell shocked and so much pent up emotion I had to let out. My husband tried to talk to me to ask how I enjoyed it and I told him I couldn’t talk for fear of bursting into tears in the cinema lobby.

Awakenings affected me alot, sad, happy, sad spent most if it crying my eyes out

Too many others....

One flew over the cuckoos nest. Can’t even think about it without getting shivers.

The fact that lobotomies were common place for mental health conditions, (and the majority were done on women) is barbaric and the ending of movie really hits me hard.

The Truman show. I keep coming back to that thinking everything is constructed. Never ending story horse death.

The Bridges of Madison County.

Resonates a bit too much

Yes, Truman Show is a good suggestion.

The little princess, Lady Jane Grey and Schindlers list

Philadelphia. A gay man afflicted with AIDS and his rapid escalation to loss of life and also societal view of his condition.

The Green Mile. A man wrongly accused of murder, and his story to the electric chair.

The DaVinci Code. For some inexplicable reason this always reduces me to tears and I've seen it so many times now and it always has the same effect.

I guess I really like Tom Hanks

"The Hate U Give". I took myself to the cinema alone and had to hold back from absolutely sobbing. So shocking, well done and sad.

Oh yes Philadrlphia love the song Bruce Springsteen but the film is great another tearjerker though

City of God and Pan’s Labyrinth - both heartbreaking for different reasons.

Eden Lake, it terrified me and horrified me at the same time.
The impossible couldn't speak while watching and cried through our it.

12 years a slave ...brutal.
American History x.
Forest Gump..made me happy cry.

The pianist
My best friend Anne Frank
The boy in striped pyjamas
Escape from Sobibor
Yet to watch Schindler's list all the way through

Jungle (real story of a man who gets lost in the Amazon rainforest for 3 weeks)

Au Revoir Les Enfants. Another war film and it's horrific.

So so many but for a start;
The Boy in the striped Pyjamas (although I had read the book first)
Witness
Dances with Wolves
The Mission
and recently The Blind Side

I'm still ashamed of how I reacted to the first 20 mins of Up. I was silently (I thought) crying so hard in the cinema, with very young DC either side of me. They both held my hand and gave me a tissue and said, 'It's all right mummy.' I was so ashamed that my four and five year olds were comforting me but that is a very powerful 20 minutes!

One of the most disturbing movies I watched was Come and see, it's a foreign movie about world war 2. It haunted me because it was so realistic, it actually made schindlers list look like light entertainment.

I started crying at the beginning of Lion and didn't stop. I actually soaked my way through a box of tissues. Never done that before.

It's a Wonderful Life.

It reminds me of what is important in life.

Brokeback Mountain. I sobbed at the end.

Sophie's Choice - wrote a school English dissertation on the book, and watched the film then. Would not be able to watch it since having children.
Schindler's List

Also cannot watch the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire when Cedric dies

I Daniel Blake, brilliant but broke me

Schindler's List. I meant to record it to watch later, knelt in front of TV and was still there at the end of the film.
