Thoughts on doing a more emotional film??
Added 2024-05-06 01:48:08 +0000 UTCSo after reading through all your suggestions I was thinking… what if we try doing an *emotional* movie - I feel like i haven’t had a movie really make me emotional in quite some time - and I tend to avoid the topic so how would you guys feel if we tried more of a tear-jerker film? We’ve been doing a ton of actions, comedies and sci-fis - would you guys be interested in crying along with me to a heavy movie? LOL
Let me know your thoughts and if you’d be interested in going on an emotional rollercoaster with me 🥹😆

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, David Fincher Directing) was an underrated drama that I hadn't really seen reactionaries do on their channels. It's a wonderful film that remains the only one I've ever felt comfy calling 'flawless'.

2024-08-18 04:41:59 +0000 UTCThe stronger the emotion (sad, scared, happy, etc.), the better for me, so as long as you're up for it, here I'll be. A classic, if you haven't seen it, is "Life is Beautiful" (I guess that's the english name, I've only watched in spanish and italian)
Luis Iván Flores Vázquez
2024-05-11 17:52:45 +0000 UTCI know it was said, but if you have not seen Schindler's List....I don't know if there is a more emotional movie. The movie is raw and probably Spielberg's best work. It's something everyone should watch.

2024-05-10 05:26:10 +0000 UTCWell, this is my list, not an everybody list, lol. Not a fan of Mystic Pizza. I did struggle with having Pratical Magic as well since it has quite a few scenes centered around the kitchen/dinning area but felt it didn't have a strong food sub-plot. I don't have the apple streaming so never knew that existed. And kitchen confidential isn't technically a movie but we're all free to make recommendations. 😊

2024-05-09 22:55:40 +0000 UTCNo Mystic Pizza?

2024-05-09 22:44:26 +0000 UTCGuardians 3 was kinda emotional. I guess not what you’re looking for tho
Garret Smith
2024-05-09 18:11:11 +0000 UTCThe Apple show with Brie Larson would be a great addition to your list Lessons In Chemistry Also Simply Irresistible is a great movie really under rated The Ramen Girl was also really good Have you ever watched a limited series called Kitchen Confidential it only ran for half a season but it was amazing, and that's the last add on.

2024-05-07 20:46:35 +0000 UTCSo I had an idea of a sub-category that could be perfect for V's emotional films desire. Food Movies! Lol. Chocolat (2000) The Taste of Things (2023) Julie & Julia (2009) Soul Food (1997) Like Water for Chocolate (1992) When Harry Met Sally (1989) Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) Simply Irresistible (1999) The Ramen Girl (2008) Untamed Heart (1993) Tampopo (1985) Big Night (1996)

2024-05-07 13:44:43 +0000 UTCOk I looked thru all the suggestions already shared and wanted to share some of my own suggestions. The Imitation Game LesMiserables two versions musical one is more sad I think Okja "Waitress" plus optional documentary about writer/director/actor who was murdered, even has a law and order episode about her murder "Unleashed" this action movie will surprise you The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Also you could play a story game like What Remains of Edith Finch it is only a 2 hour game, or you could also do one of the Life Is Strange games, the first one is good second one is ok and same with the third and they made a prequel for the first one that is also pretty good, especially after playing the first one. Tell Tale has some great games that will all hit you in the feels with out having a huge time commitment. Oh and last suggestion is Death Stranding Video game, it is a lot of commitment in terms of time but worth it.
Baron
2024-05-07 07:08:28 +0000 UTCThe number 1 most beloved movie with basically no presence on the reactosphere is one that fits your mood right now: Magnolia (1999) I've been baffled by it. It's a famous film that was quite successful, and the early film internet adored it on the level of other experimental breakouts of the time like Memento and The Matrix. I'd recommend it to anyone, because it's sort of about everyone.

2024-05-07 02:46:14 +0000 UTCONE DAY show on Netflix, its the most relatable for you i'm sure Vicky. Its only 1 season finished story & the episodes are VERY SHORT like 20-25 minutes each. You could do 5 episodes at a time, and you'd be finished within 3 parts/watches. EVERYBODY who seen this show was left in an Awe, to say the least ! Maybe you could do the ONE DAY show **additionally** to a movie thats been here suggested and which you will choose to watch.
Matt Chris
2024-05-07 00:44:25 +0000 UTCSchindler's List Vee, it's time for you to watch Schindler's List. It must be one of the most emotional films of all time. In addition, it is outside the usual genres, as it is a historical drama and Oscar winner for best film. Know that the characters you see in the film are real people. It is a film based on actual events (almost), making it more impactful.
Daniel Almeida
2024-05-06 21:07:28 +0000 UTCIf u want a emotional anime film I recommend "I want to eat your pancreas"
Kristopher
2024-05-06 19:08:03 +0000 UTC"Dancer in the Dark". It's an Oscar-nominated musical, so it's full of all the jolly emotions.
MR
2024-05-06 18:46:35 +0000 UTC^ Pick this if you want a sci-fi / romantic drama / dark comedy film. It's wonderful.

Richard Maurer
2024-05-06 12:49:38 +0000 UTCI'm at a loss. I prefer films that caused me to shed a tear unexpectedly rather than those that are knowingly designed to do just that and if I say, Watch this it'll make you cry then I'm giving away the story if that makes any sense. I didn't expect to get teary-eyed watching The Green Mile or Train to Busan, but if someone says oh, you've got to see Weepy Movie because you'll bust out crying then I consider that kind of spoiling the experience and creating unneeded expectations. Sorry I'm being a wet blanket about it. 😭😅🙃🙄😊

2024-05-06 06:14:54 +0000 UTCSure, i sometimes watch one of these movies when i need a good cry: A Monster Calls (2016) - dark fantasy drama The Iron Giant (1999) - American animated science fiction Mississippi Burning (1988) - American crime thriller

Jared Spotted Eagle
2024-05-06 05:42:02 +0000 UTCIf you’re looking for emotional definitely the movie Million Dollar Baby 2004 🔥
HoneyBadger
2024-05-06 04:51:42 +0000 UTCMy favorite movie of all time is Magnolia. Though it's 3 hours long, it's insanely well written, directed, and acted. The other movie that comes to mind that's very emotional for me is The Wrestler. It's very raw. Both are very raw.

Matt Chris
2024-05-06 03:59:15 +0000 UTCIf you haven't seen it yet I'd recommend the Green Mile. It is really really heavy on your heart though. It's one of my favorite movies of all time but I think I only ever watched it once. I don't know if I've ever cried uglier and harder at another movie like this one.
vSoulreaver
2024-05-06 03:58:31 +0000 UTCEmotions? What are those? You mean movies that blow dust in your eyes? lol.

It has a LOT of emotional gut punch moments throughout the entire 4-part series, and you WILL need tissues. You might even be a blubbering mess by the end of it lol. It hits THAT hard, believe me. And I'd also like to add another vote for An American Tail. Great movie with a wonderful theme song.

2024-05-06 02:04:35 +0000 UTCI see you still haven't done "Schindler's List" yet (at least it doesn't appear on my search), so this might be the opportunity to do that one.
