A masterpiece of its time.

Agreed.

In terms of music amazingly fitting a moment in a film, in Almost Famous, when they all sing "tiny Dancer". Man, I love that song.

Oh, and let's not forget Cube! One of the best movies I've seen. Too bad the sequel sucked MAJOR ass.

Er...

The movies I like best are science fiction ones. Those are the ones I leave the theater saying "Wow, did you see that?! How cool was it when..." etcetera.

Movies that "touch" me? Bah. Men who cry are wusses. Now that I've said the generally required disclaimer, Shindler's List and Mr. Holland's Opus were the most touching movies I've ever watched. Shindler's list for the humanity of it; Mr. Holland's Opus because the music was part of the story, and the music was overpowering.

Speaking of which.

Movies that make me cry, and therefore should be watched by everyone:

A Perfect World, Titanic, Braveheart, Dancer in the Dark, Bambi, and Requiem for a Dream, if I'm in the mood for crying already.

I don't cry at movies, though Return of the King had me choking back the tears a few times, I'll admit.

As for other movies that moved me...well, the Cowboy Bebop movie kinda does (the song at the end really gets me...rather like the song at the very end of the series, "Blue"). Chasing Amy, when Holden and Alyssa get to share a "moment" at the end of the flick.

Really, music more than movies tend to strike a chord with me. Don't get me wrong--I love movies, but music always has more power for me. There are about a dozen or two dozen songs that I can hear and always get a lump in my throat.

You know I'm really into movies and have quite an extensive collection and so I feel as if I should have something to say but I can't think of a movie that really touched me. Either that or I'm just really blanking something fierce. I need to spend a week or two just watching all my movies again when I get home.

"What Dreams May Come" turns me into an even bigger weepy sap than normal. Beautiful, beautiful movie... Saw it first on the Sci-Fi Channel, and knew I had to get it.

But of course, my favorite movie is "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". Not all that moving, but fun. Daffy Duck and Donald Duck in one movie? YES. It also fit right in with my weird little girl-ness. Forget being a princess, I wanted to be a detective like Eddie Valiant, because private eyes kick ass. That, and you get the neat coat and hat.

I'd have expected that if you'd planned to eat her, she'd have died while being roasted alive over an open fire. Or maybe gutted while hogtied, or the skin peeled off her body like a banana. Eyes pecked out by buzzards while her feet were shaved and dipped in salt brine. Something like that.

You just shot her? Wow, War must be getting unimaginitive.

Think about how long ago that was, though. By now he'll have much more creative deer-killing ideas.

I never said I shot to kill.

Heh... you didn't, at that. Uhm, nevermind then. I'm just going to stand over here. Behind Warren. He's looking mighty plump and juicy today...

If by "Fight Club" and "The Usual Suspects" you mean "Eraserhead", then yes, the ultimate mind-fuck movie.
