FTW. Bought the DVD, saw it once, great movie, but I cant bring myself to watch it anymore. AI, cant watch it either as I am from NY and saw it the day after 9/11. Just cant watch it anymore.
 
Grave of the fireflies
John Woo's homoerotic phase (not knocking those movies, they were amazing)
Before Sunrise
Mike Leigh's slice of UK working class life movies (and I'm not even sure why)
Pan's Labyrinth
Hell Boy 2 - some scenes have this weird poignancy to them.. I.E. The scene with the dying plant monster (and I'm not a tree hugger)
Lord of the Rings
Shawshank Redem.
The Myst (an hour after seeing it, actually)
It's a Wonderful Life
Wall E
Oldboy
V for Vandetta
Magnolia
Punch Drunk Love
Happy Accidents
Once
Happiness
Welcome to the Dollhouse
The Orphanage

The weirdest one as of late was "Run, Fat Boy, Run." The movie was mediocre but a lot of it hit home, in a self-critical sort of way.
 
Honestly "My Girl", the part when they're having the her little friends eulogy and the little girl runs up and tries to put his glasses back on, i damn near broke down.

what? Plenty of people know of Sugarland Express. wtf are you talking about?

It's a pretty well-documented part of FILM HISTORY and while it may have been made before you were born, thus leading you to think it has the "aura of obscurity," there was an entire world of people in those days, you know.

Yeah, I am one of them. Way to assume my age...

Not too many people know about Sugarland. It slipped off the late-night syndicated runs years ago, and was never given proper credit. Goldie Hawn is brilliant in it. Film buffs know it was Spielberg's first (though many unwittingly would say Jaws), but other than that and a bunch of 50-somethings, it is not a movie you are going to find on too many top 100 lists, which is richly deserves.

In years of posting in such threads at a variety of forums, I have yet to see anyone else make mention of it.
 
nothing beats a lovable, dumb ass.

you just keep loving them and loving them and they just stay dumb and don't fuck anything up.

it's tough to stop snacking on something so delicious, and so accessible. you literally can't escape the deep fried face. it's... in your face. :/
 
I think what it comes down to is that some people buy into the whole "willing suspension of disbelief" more than others.

Didn't do it for me. Neither did SPR, I guess I'm just not into war films enough to get all misty eyed over them.

Can't think of a film that really does it, I haven't watched Old Yeller since I was a kid but that would probably fit the bill. There was an episode of Futurama that got me going, Jurassic Bark.

Korean Dramas are 100x sadder
