Reanimator is the tits.

I too often think quite fondly of Barbara Crampton based on her outstanding performance in this movie.

:clap:

The Gift.

Wasn't difficult to figure out what the gift was, but getting to that point was the mystery.  Also, if you don't like slow moving movies stay away.

I thought the "gift" was getting to see Katie Holmes topless.

(yeah yeah, no one's made that joke before)

I thought he meant the new 2015-movie The Gift, but seeing as Raimi made one as well, I guess it could be either. :P Actually wikipedia has a list of more than 5 The Gift's.

Hmm, between the two of them, I think I'd still rather see Katie Holmes topless.  But to each his own.

Maybe it's just me being all dead inside, but I find it interesting when people cry to movies, probably because it hasn't happened to myself. I can get emotional and feel sadness but it doesn't express itself in that way, it's more of an inner sadness. The closest I've gotten to that level of emotion in a cinema was probably when I saw Fast & Furious 7 when they did the homage to Paul Walker at the end. Not an emotional movie by any stretch, but considering his sad fate, it was a touching homage to him and it definitely cast a big shadow over the whole movie. The movie itself was enjoyable (but not mindblowing or anything), but it became emotionally charged because of Paul Walker. I didn't cry though, but a few people did.

I think in general I get more attached to characters in episodic video-games (like Telltale or Life is Strange) or TV-shows. You get more time with the characters there, but in a 2 hour movie there's just not time for the movie to root itself so deep in my mind that I get THAT emotional about a character dying. In a TV-show however, you can have a character grow over 4-5 seasons and have a horrible fate and the impact is much bigger.

Different people are affected by films differently, and to differing degrees.  As with anything else in life, I suppose.  I get what you mean about becoming more invested in a character you've known over a longer period of time, but I think a good story can suck you right in and "make" you care -- again, if you have the predisposition to such things.

I think of the opening sequence of Up, the wordless story of the couple.  I was welling up by the end of it, and I'd known those characters less than ten minutes.  And they're obviously fictional, computer-animated people who I'd never met and will never meet, but somehow I cared about what was happening to them, a lot.  I know people who said that they were crying at the end of that sequence.  That's some good storytelling.

To be fair, I am a pretty emotional guy. Deaths or even purely sad moments are far from the only things that make me cry. I cry to pretty much anything. Scenes like "no, I am your father" usually brings me to tears just because it's such an iconic and powerful moment.

I get emotional during a lot of movies. It's actually ridiculous sometimes. It doesn't necessarily have to be a sad scene. It could be a positive scene and I suppose it's because altruism is just as beautiful/emotional a moment as any melancholy scene.

I used to try to be stoic when watching movies, or admiring paintings or sculptures or other works of art, basically anything except music.  I've always allowed myself to be taken by music.  But I had this idea that it was cool to not be moved by art, and anything less was unmanly or uncool or something.  Yeah, pretty stupid, since the whole point of art is to make an impression, to move the viewer.  Then I read something that said that one reason why men die younger and have more heart attacks and stuff could be because they're always stifling their emotions, which is just plain unhealthy.  Let it out; it's better for you.

So now I don't care who sees me or what they think.  If something is sad, I let it make me sad.  If something's good, I let it make me happy.

Me too. I never used to. It could just be a rousing score or anything. Seeing it on a massive screen with loud music. I dunno.

I never used to well up before I get severe depression. Now I do at the drop of a hat. :(

I'll chime in with the emotional ups and downs that come with movies. Usually if it's pertaining to children whether it's good or bad. But also the good 'ole reunions after turmoil and the like.

That said, and related to the topic and discussion all at once:

Southpaw. Pretty much your by-the-book boxing film that I felt was almost a fictional modernized version of Cinderella Man (which I liked more as a boxing movie with heart). But I did like the brutality of Jake and then the movie had a nice backdrop of a dad working his ass off and getting his shit straight (which I can relate to immensely right now) for his daughter. It tugged at the heart-strings a bit but more often than not once a bit cliche as far as boxing movies go and was predictable *almost* to a fault. But it was a good watch. Nothing amazing, but I enjoyed it. Probably won't ever see it again though.

And I agree about the beginning of Up, omg

I don't cry easily with movies, but I've become a bit more of a softie over the years. First movie that ever made me cry was Requiem for a Dream. I told that to somebody recently and he said "The ass-to-ass scene?!"  :rollin

My wife and I balled our eyes out at the open scene.  It hit home hard.  My wife and I tried to have children for years with no luck.  Even tried invetro 3 times.  So here is a room full of parents with their children and 2 adults in the back crying.  I love the movie UP and own it but we haven't watched it since.  Too emotional for us.

Inside was very emotional of my wife and I. We have an almost 3 year old daughter and the montage the girl growing up was very depressing.

I agree. I'm not even a parent and I think about that when I think about having kids one day.


Just watched Gladiator. It's been so long since I've last seen it. Incredible movie and has one of the best endings of any movie I've seen.

I recently re-watched Little Miss Sunshine.  That movie makes me bawl at multiple points, before laughing my ass off during the final dance scene.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I feel that way about the movie Tangled. Great movie, but very tough to take the emotional and mental abuse of Rapunzel when I also had (have) 2 cute blond daughters.

What an awesome movie. Too bad the next one wasn't as good and they never bothered continuing with the series.

Prog, are you talking about Byzantium? I thought that was a pretty damn good flick, especially for the vampire genre and being related (at least in spirit) to Interview. Although I definitely like Interview better and it's probably still my favorite vampire flick, I thought Byzantium was great in of itself and kept the spirit of 'vampire tells life story' fashion. I also love the tone of it, probably more than Interview in that regard.
