Road to Perdition
Gladiator

Some particularly powerful scenes:
Crash - one scene in particular, most "emotion" tediously forced.
The Prince of Egypt

There is a particularly powerful scene in Crash...

Watched them .. I believe i've watched all of Tom Hanks movies 😀 he is one of my top favorites .. I also loved "Thomas Newman" for the soundtrack.

Crash is really so touching. The scene when the dad comes home and the guy from the store shoots right to the back of his little girl. Or the scene when "Matt Dillon" tried to save "Thandie Newton" .. really powerful scenes! I too believe the fact that there is good and bad in all of us.

The book definitely got me in a couple places.

The only movie I saw was on Netflix a long time ago. Dave Matthews (of DMB) acted in it. I don't think that version was any good because I really have no other recollection of it.

Golden Financial Services and S&N Debt Solutions, LLC are both owned by the same people and are extremely unreliable companies. They provide no real support and have no business offering either "debt negotiation services" or "debt settlement services." They will take your money, ruin your credit, and increase your debt overall. They have terrible BBB ratings and are run by criminals. DO NOT USE THESE COMPANIES

Nice long list. I missed some of them .. Actually I haven't seen any Chinese movies yet 🙂
 
I enjoyed The Last Samurai. A lot of that emotion comes from the Hans Zimmer score.

No one mentioned Magnolia, so I'm going to mention Magnolia.

--just do your best to ignore Tom Cruise. As hard as he tries to ruin that film, it manages to survive his presence.
 
The Grand Budapest Hotel
You know, just because it's quirky doesn't mean it's not sad / emotional. :colbert:

I loved Road to Perdition. I think it was overlooked because it wasn't the best mafia movie. The mafia was just the setting, it wasn't the story. It was about a boy and his father.
