It's just like intense scene, and I could not help but have tears falling from my eyes. It was just such an emotional, intense scene, and I cry every time I watch the ending of that film. So what I want to know is what film grabbed you in that way that made you cry either from joy and happiness or from sadness. I'm eager to hear your films

I can't even listen to one of my favorite songs that I used to love growing up. Can we still be friends? What's his name? Todd Rungren. I think his name is Ted anyway, because it was in the film and when Tom was leaving the loft apartment, they were playing that song and it's like I can't even enjoy that song anymore. It's emotionally messed me up. That's what it did

Coffee black. Okay. Vanilla sky is a strange film. I have seen it. I think once and I don't remember much about it. I'm not a huge Tom Cruise fan, but if if the part where he kills Penelope Cruz emotionally disturbed you, then that's pretty cool. That's what I'm looking for. So thanks for the response

I think those moments between father and son, those were really brilliant and it left me totally emotional. And I think the hardships, especially that both of them go through to reach to arrive at that moment in life. And they know that, yes, they know where the next meal is coming from, and they have a roof over their head. Yeah. That movie really touched me

Yes. Word. Smith. Both films are tear jerkers for sure. Castaway not so much. I felt his alienation is loneliness and it can be a scary emotion. And I could see why you were brought to tears on that pursuit of happiness. Great film. And I didn't cry so much, but I felt the love between the father and son and how he wanted to better his life. So I got emotional on that film for sure

And it was so well done. But for whatever reason, it didn't do that to me. But then, like I said, something like The Green Mile just out of nowhere, like, blind sided me. And I was just kind of like, oh, wow. So that's the only one I can really think of is The Green Mile. There may have been
So I have two to add. The first one is What's eating Gilbert Grape. It's I think a movie from the early 90s where Leonardo DiCaprio plays is a developmentally disabled team with such remarkable nuance and such a wide range of emotions that he displays in it and his relationship with his mother and his brother. All of that has been sketched out so beautifully in the movie. I think it's one of the most underrated movies of Leonardo DiCaprio that I've seen

And I've never seen a surprise. But I've been told to see it. I've been recommended that film from Disney, but I'll get around to seeing it for sure. Thank you

Believe it or not, it's been on my list of films to watch, and I know it came out a few years ago, but I will definitely check that one out. Just from your posts on here, you seem to really be affected by that film, so I got to check that out for sure soon. And I'll get back to you on that. But there's been a few films in my life that have really choked me up

Atonement definitely near the top or at the top of my list of movies that have affected me emotionally. I still burst into tears watching it, and I've seen it several times. Absolutely beautiful film, heartbreaking, haunting. In a way, Karen Knightley has an absolute, just brilliant performance. Sacha Rowan absolutely incredible. James McAvoy if you haven't seen it, I would definitely recommend checking it out. And I can't say much about it without giving away the ending

Yes, atonement is a deep one. That film just goes to show you that if you accuse somebody of something, whether they did it or not, the Reaper cushions are detrimental. They're just drastic because your name and your character and your being is Tarnished regardless. And that film really displays that what an intense film. So good choice. And the acting is phenomenal in it. So yeah

I totally feel you on Vanilla Sky. I don't know what it is about that movie, but it crushes me, just totally crushes me

Ramya. I saw up by myself very randomly this summer. I lived in New York, which I know I've mentioned on here before was a pretty difficult summer and I was not prepared for it. That's all I was will say I was a blubbering mess by myself in the movie theater watching up. I haven't watched it again since because I'm not sure I can handle it actually
Bowie Rowan
@bowie · 0:25
I'm so glad you mentioned atonement I saw that movie in the theater and I just thought it was so good. I'm such a James McAvoy fan and he's just amazing in it. I would really like to rewatch it because I haven't haven't seen it in a number of years now. And I actually was curious if you've read the book because I ended up reading the book after the movie, which was a pretty interesting experience

Neil, thanks for this conversation. There's so many great movies mentioned here. One. Well, actually, two that haven't been mentioned yet. That just made me burst into tears in the movie theater are Syneca Keys, New York with Philip Seymour Hoffman. You know that Charlie Kaufman movie if you've seen it. And then also The Place Beyond the Pines, which was directed by Derek. I don't know if I'm saying his last name, right? Seonfront?

Well, you're welcome, Bowie. It's always a pleasure to hear your voice. And I have not seen Synaptic New York yet, but I'm a big Phillip Seymour Hoffman fan, and I'll probably get around to seeing it, but a Placed Beyond the Pines what an amazing, intense film. And yeah, the ending is really emotionally gripping. I don't know if it brought me to tears, so to speak, but I definitely felt the emotional pull of that film for sure
