The Game (1997)
Loved it but wanted to shoot everyone at the end. Edit: also Hostel. Walked out of the theater freaked out
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
It was such a beautiful film, so very emotional and then it just broke me. Watched it once in the movie theater and never again after.
Steel Magnolias (1989)
Steel Magnolias, especially now that I have kids. I can't even think about Sally Field's breakdown without tearing up.
What Dreams May Come (1998)
Its the most beautiful movie and I think everyone should watch it at least once, but I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it since Robin Williams died. I actually haven't watched anything he's in since he died.
The Boy In The Striped Pajamas (2008)
Came here to say this. This movie... no words. Still haunts me. Still f***s me up, takes me back there, breaks my heart. They hired the lead actor, Asa Butterfield, for his innocence. He knew nothing about the holocaust. They didn't tell him anything about the holocaust or the gist of the story, he was just playing a little boy who played with another little boy through a fence. They maintained that brilliant innocence of his throughout the movie. THAT'S what makes the ending of this movie just so very soul wrenching. I'm still so very moved by this film.
Hotel Rwanda (2004)
I was 18 when I first saw it for the last time. Joaquin Pheonix's line about people seeing a story about genocide on the news and not caring was a crushing "weight of the world" moment for me.
Schindler's List (1993)
I just watched this for the first time about a month ago. I held it together fine until Oskar broke down crying because he couldn't save more people. Then came the waterworks.
Life Is Beautiful (1997)
This movie is unspeakably tragic. But its also profoundly beautiful. The love that the family had for each other gets me every time. Roberto Benigni was perfection in this role!
The Pianist (2002)
I can't bring myself to watch it again. The anger and hopelessness I felt for that man and those people is beyond compare
The Grave Of The Fireflies (1988)
I'm never, EVER, gonna watch that s**t again. It's from Studio Ghibli, the same from Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro). An absolute masterpiece for sure, but don't expect to find happy little creatures in it.Show All 17 Upvotes

Bakersfield, CA - Never in my life have I seen such a sour sight. Oil wells as far the eye can see that it almost looks a heard of stationary ants humping the soil.

Vegas. Although I wouldn’t call it much of a city; it was more of a clusterf*** of buildings, neon, and wasted lives all stitched together smack in the middle of bumf*** nowhere.

When I was a kid, my mom, my cousin, my sister and I were all about to go to my great grandma's house from my grandma's house. It wasnt a far drive so my mom allowed my sister who was 11 at the time to sit up front, leaving my cousin and I in the back. My cousin chose the window seat behind the driver. For some reason I felt a need to sit in the middle instead of taking the other window seat. 2 minutes into the drive over, a woman who was clearly not paying attention, slammed right into the back seat of the car where I chose not to sit. Fire fighter later told us if anyone had been sitting there, they would be dead. Instead, all 4 of us walked out with 2 bruises and a scratch.

Another “said yes to going to the pub” tale. 1991, I was in Edinburgh, walking home from signing on, and a mate from my previous job pulled up in his old yellow Mini and said he was off to meet another mate from the same job. It was noonish and I had nothing better to do, so f*** it, pint. The other mate was in town with one of his pals to discuss a game (we were all RPG gamers) and I tagged along. Long story short, we started an RPG company, got bought by Wizards of the Coast, traveled the world with them, got our game back when they canned RPGs and twenty odd years on, did a Kickstarter that raised well over $100,000 last year. So, yeah, the moral of these tales is that if someone asks you if you want to go to the pub, the answer is yes.

Freshman year I asked some kid in the college dorms cafeteria if we could sit as his table because all the others are full. Start small talking and he mentions his tuition is free because his dad is military. I’m like wait... my dad is military and I’m paying? He says that it’s because his dad is now disabled. Well it turns out some of my dads ailments from military service qualify him as disabled and guess who got free college after that. And my sister too. They hide the website pretty well and they DEFINITELY don’t tell vets about the program for their dependents so my family never would have known if I hadn’t sat down with some random guy. Thanks guy!

Turning on my old xbox.. Right after high school I didn't go to college or work.. I stayed inside my parents house for maybe a year and completely isolated myself from the world due to fear of growing up. One day I was bored and decided to power on my old xbox 360 I hadn't played in a few years and I noticed my XBL account had a friend request from months before that. Accepted the request and it was one of my childhood best friends I hadn't talked too in maybe 6 years. Then our third childhood bestfriend joins the XBL party and we all start to hangout and it completely cured my depression and got my life on track. Now 8 years later and we live together have good jobs and are all doing really well!Show All 13 Upvotes
