Films that really move you?
Got the DVD of The Killing fIelds yesterday, and watching it reminded me of the first time I saw it back in '84/85. Came out the ABC on Lothian Rd and looked at my mate ....neither of us said anything for a few minutes we were still stunned.
Part of the impact was ( I think) the realisation due to the cultural references, that this was something that happened in my lifetime and not too long before the movie was made. Don't think any other film has had that effect on me, wondered if anybody else has a movie that affected them strongly? |

Re: Films that really move you?
Agree with both of them (Ryan and Schindler) ....but they dealt with a previous era, plus I had read a fair amount about WW2. I had read a bit about Vietnam, but at that point not much on how the Yanks f*cked up Cambodia. Plus the recentness of the real events added something.

Strangley, chariots of fire can do it as well.
Just at the end when Liddel's heid goes back in the 400metre final. I always find the mans ability and integrity, inspiring. Scotlands greatest ever sportsman.

Re: Films that really move you?
Born on the Fourth of July: Great acting from Tom Cruise (his best performance ever IMO), great music, fantastic story of a Vietman veteren's (Ron Kovic) courage and strength of spirit. Tremendously moving film. The way the American government treated the Vietnam vets was appalling. Ron Kovic was determined to have his say though, and I found the whole thing very inspiring.
It also brought home the sheer waste of war. The tragedy and lives torn apart for ever.

Not a film, but a series.
Scrubs. No other production can make me laugh and have tears welling up inside 30 mins so regularly |
