Movies that get you emotionally involved.

[mikejet]

What movies get you emotionally involved. Not just love, but those you hate also. Movies that get you going or make your blood boil.

Ex. Crash. I love this film while many people I know hate it and will defend why.

For me:

The Mist - I can't remember a horror film dividing alot of people like this one has. Maybe The Blair Witch Project but this seems to divide alot of people on the ending. I for one loved it and I don't see this movie as a horror film but as an experiment in what would happen when a small group of people are pushed to their extremes. That crazy lady gets me very very angry. I loved the ending.

The American President - The way that these people speak to each other and the way that they talk about their beliefs in the film, I wish real politicians were like that. I loved Douglas' monologue at the end.

American History X - Bite the curb. Nuff said.

In Shawshank the part that gets me is

[Show spoiler]when the warden executes the man that could have exonerated him.

Man on Fire and King Kong (Peter Jackson's)

the movie "KIDS". Possibly one of the most depressing movies next to "requiem for a dream".

Have you seen Bully or Ken Park? Kids is nothing compared to those.

[Big N' Tasty]

The new Indiana Jones flick and the Star Wars eposide I and II .

Even though you know whats gonna happen Troy I always root for Hector.
Glory and Titanic are a couple of others that come to mind.

Yeah totally forgot about Bully. Never seen or heard of Ken Park, will have to check it out.

King of the Ants is another movie that got to me.

I prefer Kids to Ken Park any day, emotionally, Kids holds much better. Larry Clark can be interesting but he does focus a bit too much around sex and teens.

My suggestions for better or worst:

River's Edge
Gummo
Julian Donkey-boy
Happiness
Barton Fink
Babel
The King
Naked Lunch

[Blu-ray Fanatic]

Rambo (The new one)
American History X
Passion of the Christ
Saving Private Ryan
Braveheart
Gladiator
300

Straw Dogs

Gone Baby Gone....this one had me and the wife going at it for a few day back and forth...has more of an impact if you are a parent.

Someone already mentioned it but I would have to go with Requiem for a Dream, everytime I watch that film, I just want to hug someone once it is over.

[KingBing]

Crash and American History X are mine, Gone Baby G0ne its def up there and kids is a very sad movie

For some reason I can't get into Life Aquatic the same way I can with Royal Tennenbaums.

A truely moving picture, and don't laugh because I'm serious, is Babe Pig in the City.
