Most moving film of all time?

I would have to say Schindlers List without a doubt.

I was in bits.

Out on DVD soon, How about you?

For a factual film I must agree with you--however I am always in tears when I watch 'Braveheart' even though I understand that a lot of the film is not accurate

I've seen some moving films, but the ONLY one that made me actually move to tears was Schindler's List indeed.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Superb performance from Jack Nicholson.

Edward Scissorhands gets me at times. And the end of Fight Club is quite moving.

gallipoli

freddy got fingered

Nutty Professor 2 got me moving to the theater door to leave

That's one of 3 that I can think of, others are Au Revoir Les Enfants and The Killing Fields.

The DVD of Schlinder's List isn't out over there yet? Weird, kinda thought they'd release the really big films simultaneously.

The ending of Schindler's List when they visit his grave aways gets me in tears.

English Patient when Amon Goth returns to the cave to find his friend's wife dead is particularly emotional for me.

Now here's a more obscure one: I cried in the middle of the university library earlier this year at the end of The World of Apu, the end of Ray's great trilogy.

Taka the Otter,when he died at the end i cried like a bitch. (i was only 5).

Three Colours Blue, and; The Big Blue

Class films

I'd almost have to add our own Life Is Beautiful. It's clever, because it makes you mostly laugh in the first half, but then it becomes an atrocity exhibtion (a surreal mix of poetry, humour and horror) and it hits you in the ending when Benigni is actually killed while you would expect him to come out anyway. So when my mate and me came home we didn't say a word for 30 minutes or so. No tears, but very close, and just because we managed somehow to keep them inside and "behave like men"...

Kes, when the younger brother finds out his big barstweward brother killed his falcon...

Last film I cried at was The Fox and the Hound.

The Fox and The Hound Arms,in New Brighton?:D

I can't believe no one's said the obvious answer: "E.T."

A movie to cause millions of children everywhere to cry like little bitches with skinned knees.

Get this,my other half came home before with the DVD of Schindlers List for me (i like Spielberg),she sticks it in for ten minutes then gets up,puts her coat on and says shes going out-when i ask where she replies "back to woolies,that dvd i got is broke,its in black & white". I let her go,but was pissing myself when she backed off the drive. Cant wait for her to get home!

"Europa Europa" gets me everytime. i think it's real name is "die hitlerjungen, solly" but so that it wasn't shotdown has a nazi film, they changed the name at some point.

2001. moving, not in a make you wannto cry kind of way,but in a really strange way. 3colours blue gets my vote too. anything by kieslowski or almodovar will move you. the sons room by nanni moretti is also quite moving

She came back just now,not ammused in the slightest! Think im in the spare room tonight. She said the lad in the shop burst out laughing at her. Much the same response she got from our son & myself. She may ground me & take my computer away!:(

That's the one where the Jewish boy pretends to be a Nazi in order to survive, right? A very very very good film indeed, the one bit I really remember is the lad trying to reattach his foreskin on his circumsized member.

Europa, Europa makes my penis hurt thinking about that kid attempting to reverse his circumcision.

Withnail at the end, alone Takeshi at the end of Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence

Can't believe no one has mentioned "The Passion of the Christ" yet.

I know it's probably not the most moving movie I've seen, just the most recent.

I'm not a deeply religious person at all, but it was one of the saddest moments during the Crusifiction scene I'd never heard such an eerie silence in a full movie theatre. I think everyone held their breath through most of that movie...brutal that movie, yes, but also powerful and moving

It could be cos no-one has seen it. Is it any good,its doing the rounds on bootleg dvd here but not had a look yet.

Well the ending has been ruined for me thanks to this thread

The same thing happened to me with Mystic River,you did well though Gaz-you managed to avoid the result for 2004 years!

I know , and I'd just bought the book of the film too, the baseball cap tie-in looks a bit impractical though, offers no protection from the rain and looks a bit itchy

Jesus dies at the end??!! What kind of crap is that? I want a happy Hollywood ending! Not "The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre".

on the subject of moving, there was much toe wiggling action in Kill Bill Volume 1, that and some head chopping action

Pamela and Tommy video was veeeeeeery moving.

Nah, The Thin Red Line. I watched 4 times and could watch many more.

Wow, that might be worth a look. I hope he gets revenge on all those Romans.

Its gonna be directed by Tarantino "Kill Herod,vol.1" followed by "Kill Herod,vol.2:Revenge on Judas".

The greenhouse scene?!

Put me off potting plants for life![/quote The only time I am guaranteed to offer Mrs garymac a brew, is when that scene approaches ; off to the kitchen I go , in fact our nearest garden centre is next to Risley Remand Centre, cant help thinkin it's not a big selling point

That, or the fallout in his cell later

it's a wonderful life & scrooged.

if I am ill, then even a yellow pages ad can do it though! (they didn't sack him but got him a new lawnmower! blub!)

Not moving as such,but just watched "Monster" with Charlize Theron. One fucked up film.

Definitely 'The Passion Of The Christ'. Doesnt matter if youre religious or not, it`s a film you must see.

The end of 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' gets me pretty choked up, aswell....

The most moving film for me, as well as my personal favorite movie ever is Hitchcock's Vertigo. I absolutely love this film. The acting is excellent. It is without a doubt Stewart's best performance. Herrmann's score is the greatest musical score in film history. Hitchcock is my favorite director, and this is his masterpiece. Absolutely beautiful film. I did a research paper on it in school, I think it is the gretest film of all time.

I'm glad someone mentioned 2001: A Space Odyssey, it is a very emotional movie. Not sad, but still very moving. Other moving films for me are Schindler's List, Snow Falling on Cedars, Lawrence of Arabia, Bridge on the River Kwai, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Barry Lyndon. The Passion of the Christ is also a very moving movie indeed.

beaches had me crying like a baby.

commence laughing now.

so what? i am a girl, after all.

Definitely agree on One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Would also add The Others (don't know why, my wife thought I was mad) and Betty Blue as well.

Agree that 2001 is moving in a different sort of way.

Beaches is sad. Deadman Walking had me in tears.

The Green Mile

The Thorn Birds. It made me shed tears. It was a heartbreaking experience to watch it.

Originally posted by AgentWood beaches had me crying like a baby.commence laughing now.so what? i am a girl, after all.

I cried at the end of Ice Age us girls are allowed

Green Mile is very good,

Passion of Christ is ok but didnt have enough actors in it.

Originally posted by Friendly Fascism I'm sorry...why is it so important for me to line Mel Gibson's pockets with my money???

Mel Gibson`s no worse than any other multi-millionaire media/entertainment mogul who tries to earn a few more bob every single day. I bet you put your hard-earned cash into the pockets of tyrants, tycoons & fascists every day without even thinking about it. I know I do.

Gibson isnt **that** bad anyway. Hey, he hates the English, so thats good enough for me!!!

Originally posted by James Stephen BarnesI put hard-earned cash into the pockets of tyrants, tycoons & fascists every day

You must be so proud of yourself.

Originally posted by Friendly Fascism my money isn't hard earned!!!:premember, I'm in management, we just sit around drinking coffee, barking out orders all day...

So you are Drew Carey :p

The thin red line, almost all of Giuseppe Tornatore's films and two greek neorealism films of the 50's that you probably never heard of

A good movie, but a cruddy city.

Radio, never have I ever got out of a theater so quickly

What is this, "Re-hash Old Threads Day" :p

Oh well, in terms of "moving" in a good sense, I gotta go with a recent one, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. If this doesn't make you want to go out and find someone to love, you're just dead inside...like me

Oldies but goodies: Schindler's List, Dr. Strangelove (makes you think while you're laughing), Brazil, The Kids Are Alright (when you realize what a great wasted talent Keith Moon was), Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, Punch-Drunk Love.........

the remains of the day - drove me mad
