One that hasn't been mentioned here is Boyz 'n The Hood. It's a really powerful and realistic portrayal of street life.

Some examples of powerful films:
Braveheart
Titanic(1997)
Fight Club

Thank you!

Watch every movie you can and you almost for sure will upon ones that are "powerful" to you.

Note: You can safely skip "Deep Star Six".

Brilliant. My mind bypassed animated films for some reason. GotF has to be up there, it's incredibly powerful.

Coenskubrick · 10-16-2015, 09:11 AM

Oh yeah if we're talking animated films, Wall-E.

Herbie Goes Bananas

*SPOILER ALERT*
I think what made Braveheart so powerful for me was the story of men fighting for what they believed in against overwhelming odds and then how it ended on a sad note with Mel Gibson's character dying by execution.

Thank you!

I can recommend some really powerful foreign films - not artsy fartsy, totally entertaining yet leaving a huge emotional impact that will carry on in your mind for years:

Nowhere in Africa
Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring
Amelie
Tampopo
Underground (Kusturica)
