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 :cry: 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

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

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

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.

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

What's in the movie that we haven't all heard before (except for the crunching of Jesus's bones as his hands are nailed to the cross, I'd never thought about that)???

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.
