A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) All right, this could be seen as Chapter Two of a certain series. Chapter 1: Visually Beautiful Movies Chapter 1: Emotionally Powerful Movies Emotionally powerful movies mean the ones that charge you with power watching them, not necessarily the ones that make you cry though. You will feel full of power, joy and happyness in your body, you will feel wanting to care more about your your family, friends and the people around you, and you will feel want to love your life and the world better, after watching these movies. Put up your recommandtions. Edited October 5, 2013 by firedeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) the most emotionally powerful movies certainly don't make me want to, uh, love my life or make the world better. lol but if we must restrict the emotions to happy ones, i'd nominate moulin rouge!.

baumer Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Armageddon is one of the most emotional movies I've ever seen. Mothman Prophecies as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 All emotion that Nuovo Cinema Paradiso provoked in me was anger at how shallow, banal, shamelessly exploitative and ridiculously sentimental it was. It's rare for me to actually actively hate movies, but boy, I couldn't fucking stand that tripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I hate a movie that tries to pass itself off as good by repeatedly pointing at other movies and going, "Hey, aren't these classic movies great? Isn't cinema great? Let's have a character watch an old classic movie and marvel at how great it is! Let's have a character watch a kissing montage composed entirely of scenes from old great classic movies and tear up!" etc., etc. Cinema Paradiso may celebrate cinema for how long it wants to, but that doesn't mean it deserves to be celebrated itself. It's flat, boring, has no interesting characters, inspired storylines or memorable moments of its own, and it cheaply exploits the viewer's sense of nostalgia and love for movies that actually deserve to be loved. What saddens me is how many people actually fall for its tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
