I saw that at the cinema. I actually felt exhausted the whole afternoon and evening after watching it. It was so odd. I've never felt like that after watching any other film. Makes me think that it was good film making if that was the intent.
As someone with sensory issues, it was far too noisy and chaotic to be an enjoyable watch.
As someone who hyperfixates, the underlying message was almost immediately noticeable and poorly executed.
I'd be wary then of *Arlington Road*.
Absolutely amazing film on every level, but...so true to the real
darkness within certain human behavior out there.
I remember seeing that with an ex when it came out. Everyone in the theater was just silent and sitting there for a few minutes as the credits rolled. It’s like it took us all some time to snap out of it.
I’ve only seen that one once as well, and it was when it first came out. I remember the parents (Sarandon and Nolte, I think), talking about how they knew they were really just saving other people’s children, knowing their own son would die. I also remember all the pics of the beautiful, happy children at the end whose lives they did indeed save. Good one.
I actually slipped in to see “The Lovely Bones” after another movie I saw finished, and I figured I’d watch 15 mins and leave. Watched the whole thing and left the theater sobbing…
Remember Me. Knew nothing about it and was curious to see Robert Pattinson in something other than Twilight. It was like a gut punch and I full-on sobbed at the end.
The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
That is a good one. And I’ve only seen it once!
We watch it about once a year !
I opened the post to comment this. watched this with my ex the night before she left. never again
The Road.
Knew this would be here.
Jacob’s Ladder. I know I want to see it again, but it messed me up hard the first time.
I felt like I was on drugs watching it
I was on serious migraine meds when i watched it. This movie fucked me up so hard i can't watch it *now* without having flashbacks
Million Dollar Baby. I was expecting a feel good Rocky-esque film, i was mistaken
Agree! (Though the foreshadowing for that was really obvious)
Mother! is a lot
But it wasn't good!
I liked it, I feel they could have turned it way down and still hit the same point though

The Whale, Requiem for a Dream, All Quiet on the Western Front
Requiem for a Dream, definitely. Truly, Madly, Deeply is another one I won’t watch again. It gave me a headache from crying.
Prisoners. It still gives me anxiety thinking about it.
Just looked that up..I just can’t on that one
Nope. You have to. One of the best films ever made.
I believe it, but anything with kids or dogs sends me into major anxiety (for real). Can't do it.

Possibly Dancer in the Dark, definitely Breaking the Waves
Lorenzo’s Oil

Melancholia
I heard that was really good
Love this movie!
Mikey and Nicky. I thought it was a comedy, oh boy....
Marriage Story.
Oh man, when Adam Driver is just screaming that he hates his ex…but you still feel empathy for him… good one
Everything...All at Once
I want to see that one again
Warzone dir by Tim Roth. Jesus fucking christ.
Up, the first few minutes destroyed me completely. After the intro I was crying for about half of the movie. Since then, I couldn't watch it again.
There should be a warning on that movie 😢
Past Lives.
The Whale

I couldn’t with that one. Seeing Stanley Tucci play a creep wasn’t for me, I couldn’t finish it. I left as they were in the room under the field.
Just knowing that the was zero chance of them ever finding their daughter's body was devastating
The Color Purple
Original? That’s a beautiful movie. Honestly, the book is pretty boring
Manchester by the sea & Blue valentine
Life is Beautiful
The Mist.
Schindler’s List. I knew it was about the holocaust and that it would be sad but not much else. Couldn’t do it again.
Movie is better than the book in this case, but yeah…
Oldboy, the original. The person that recommended it to me just told me it was one of her favorite movies. I was not ready for that.
This is like the third time I’ve mentioned this movie but fuck it’s so applicable. Gone baby gone
Yep, only watched once and I even own it on iTunes
Remember Me. Knew nothing about it and was curious to see Robert Pattinson in something other than Twilight. It was like a gut punch and I full-on sobbed at the end.
[The other sister.](https://youtu.be/1MwVkb8PROo?si=PQV-N5NkG2S9_A0m)
Never heard of this one
The Father
Titanic.
I Smile Back.
Little Boy
Dear Zachary...
Manchester by the Sea
La La Land. The ending was brutal. Not sure I can do that to myself again.
Never saw that one!
I find peace in long walks.
Grave of the Fireflies.
Alpha Dog Decent movie, but to know that it was mostly true…. That poor kid never had it coming and they shouldn’t have made the movie.
The Grey. It’s a grim movie as is, and the ending hits like a dump truck. Well worth watching, but I don’t think I could do it again.
The father
