There are some really touching moments in spider man 2. However it is so painful watching the first half of the movie because he suffers so much injustice, with no support. It is painful to watch.
-
Not seen that. Schindler's list is the one that always gets me, but oddly, not at the horrific camp parts, but the end where the survivors are walking over the hill ...it is the music I think partially.

at the end, i shed a tear. but don't tell a soul.

I can't tell if you're serious about there being touching moments in the shining, or if you are just being sick. But either way, that link is hilarious.
-
I'm just being sick. :laugh: My mom sent me the link and I just watched it and wanted to share.

Theres a funny "French and Saunders" Misery (stephen king) spoof on YouTube. If you put in "French and Saunders" Misery to search I think it comes up.

i loved that movie. and i shed a tear at the end too. ;D

I guess the obvious one is the one at the end of Amelie where they finally meet. I feel like a total girl for sharing that. :cheer:

i liked the miniseries Shining better. it is more touching too, Stephen King has a cameo in it and i think he was producing it as well. it's more faithful to his book. Kubrick made Jack more assholy than he is in the book. but the miniseries Jack is all cuddly and cute, especially since he's played by one of my überfavorite actors, Steve Weber. :P

But nobody can do crazy like jack nicholson....

njeh :P

I am a big fan of the novel, but I hated that Shining TV movie. It looked so cheap and badly made, like a daytime soap. I would love to see a remake of the Shining that follows the book more closely, but surely they can make one that looks better than that crap! At least the Kubrick film, for all its faults, had the novel's fear. I like Stephen King's books but I don't understanmd why he always makes cheap TV Movies of them, because they never turn out that good!

the miniseries has better special effects than the kubrick movie! and better acting.
Stephen King doesn't make the movies, he just gives up the rights easily cuz he is a fan of movies. and his B movies totally rule, they are classics.

He's not particularly nice in the book...he's an alcoholic, he breaks his son's arm in rage, he beats up a student severely (even though the student more or less deserves it)...and that's before the hotel makes him crazy...

No. Jack Nicholson is a hell of a lot better actor than Steven Weber.

At least now, when he's really rich, he could demand them making the films more true to the books.
-
Well if the character is not supposed to be a crazy asshole, then jack nicholson might not be the best actor. Jack nicholson is good for badass, and crazy.
-
He was not supposed to be crazy at the beginning of the movie, but he sure as hell was mentally instable from page 1 in the book.

The TV movie I saw had cheap CGI effects and Daytime Soap Opera acting. The kubrik version has been studied and analysed for years. I don't see the crappy TV movie on the shelves of any film school libraries. As a fan of the book, I was really let down by that movie.

The Kubrick version had been perfect if it had been just a little more true to the book. But it's still better than the TV movie.

I find dozens of moments in movies touching. During my little crying holidays I try to time the ride for those moments.
Movies like iron giant or beauty and the beast are touching during more of the movie than the time they aren't, but I found touching moments in movies like hell boy, and terminator 2, and a bunch of other movies that seem like they aren't about touching shit. Actually I can be moved by... pretty much anything, not all of it is moving like bicentential man or animatrix is moving, but if something is exciting enough I will get moved by it too.
On WP I heard a lot of aspies talking about how removed from emotion they felt they were. Personally I am the polar goddamn opposite to that. Although an ability I have that it looks like it may be rare is I can pretty much turn it the fuck off at will.

how dare you call Steve a lesser actor!!?!?!??! he's a much better actor, he just hasn't won a stinkin oscar or ten since he is totally underappreciated. :grrr:

Jack was an actor even before that guy was born. How many movies with Jack Nicholson have you seen? 8)
-
enough. how many movies with Steve have you seen?
-
One as far as I know. I was not impressed. 8)
-
well i've seen many more so there. :P
-
The one thing I liked about the TV movie was the mentions of the hotels past and the Jack character being truer to the book in personality. If it was the tv version Jack, in the Kubrick Movie, with the craziness of Nicholson at the end, and a fuller story, it would be perfect.

The bit in Conan the Barbarian where Conan beheads Thulsa Doom. That one gets me every time. <Sniff>

I + both Carla and Litigious, for turning the tide of common sense away from that embarassing TV movie.

OK, seriously, one movie moment I do remember crying at was toward the end of Homeroom, when the baby disaster comes to light and the main character loses it. I know there have been other times but that's the only one I can think of ATM.
I'm usually more moved by books, though. I remember finishing Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli when I was 16 and bawling my eyes out, I cried at the end of Feed (forget who that was by- I read it at 16 as well), and I remember in third grade, finishing Bridge to Terebithia (my own pursuit during free time) and trying not to cry in class. I add the last because they're making a movie out of it and it damn well better make me tear up a bit, or they'll have failed horribly. That movie is a BIG must-see for me.

I found "The Village" very moving.
Incredible movie.....one of the best I've seen in quite a while.
-
The Shymalan movie????????????? :o
-
The Shymalan movie????????????? :o
Yes.
I know many hated it but I went into the film knowing nothing about it and no preconceived notions of what it was supposed to be.
Also, I tend to just get lost *IN* the film.....As long as it's interesting and captivating, (which I found it to be) I'm not trying to figure out whats coming next, I'm engrossed with whats going on in the moment.....and the village did that very, very much for me.
All of the twistes and turns were great....I didn't see them coming which totally made the movie for me.
Great music, Great cinimatography, lots of dark & mysterious elements etc, etc.
Not to impressed Shymalans latest ork though :(
