TRUEBRIT66 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Watched "Its a wonderful life" on Sunday and was told I'd be in tears...........have to say didnt really touch me. So seeing as your all "well ard footie fans" what films have given you a lump in the throat ? For me The Kid was an emotional rollercoaster sad one minute angry as hell the next. Forest Gump and Dead poets society both good movies that pull on the emotional strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasbuster Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 The first 25 minutes of Saving Private Ryan. Said to be a very realistic account of what those poor guys went through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said to be a very realistic account of what those poor guys went through. Me too I worked with a guy (sadly now passed) who suffered the most horrific shell shock and as 19 year old he was inducted into an international commando unit for D day, he was one of 23 who survived out of over 600 men having been landed at the wrong location. One winters morning in 1977 he related the full horror of what he witnessed (bearing in mind how well before the film this was) he could have written that first 25 minutes, from the sea being red with blood and dragging an injured man who begging to be saved and realising it was only half a body, he told that the smell of cordite made him vomit immediately and his recurring nightmare was the amount of voices of friends calling for their mothers and to god. He had tears streaming down his face whilst recounting his story. I have only watched the film once, I felt paralysed watching that 25 minutes and was in floods of tears, I could not believe how the reality described to me by this wonderful hero and that opening sequence could be so similar in every way. RIP Bill Taylor a true war hero and south Bristol born and bred man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting, if Bill Taylor is looking down now I'm sure he'd thankyou for your tribute too, -thanks to Bill Taylor (& the hundreds of thousands of heroes like him) RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Went to the cinema to see Titanic. Didn't cry during it but I did cry that night when I dreamt that me and my baby brother were trying to escape the bottom deck. Woke up in hysterics.

The Batman Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I just remembered one where I did cry while watching it. I was about 9 or 10 and dad had terminator 2 on video. He let me watch it and to this day it's still one of my favourite films, but when Arnie was lowered into the lava at the end, I did proper well up as I didn't want him to go. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never known a film to start like that, least of all supposedly a kids one. Very cleverly done and unexpected! Not sure 'sad' really does the first 20 mins of Saving Private Ryan justice. It's just absolutely horrific to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I remember watching "The Last Voyage", when I was about 4 (a film notable for the fact that an old liner, the Ile de France was actually sunk in shallow water for the foundering scenes). George Sanders played the captain who went down with his ship, and I was inconsolable, and very upset. Funny how a pretty unremarkable film can have such an effect on a young kid.
