Green mile!

Post by The Janitor »

One of the most emotional moments of that film was the 'murder' of the mouse the rest was rather shit.

Big black guy doesn't seem so bad, who cares!

Crazy prison guard hates crazy prisoner, who cares!

Crazy prison guard kills mouse, that was nasty but still who cares!

Big black guy is magical & saves mouse & prison bosses wife (i really didn't see that one coming 15 minutes into the movie) however no one cares!

Big black guy dies whilst Tom Hanks & mouse lives, who the Fuck cares!!!

I saw Gallipoli when I was too young. When the characters at the end get killed I started to cry and could not stop.

I actually seem incapable of feeling sympathy for character that are fictional. It is something like the laramie project, the diary of anne frank, or any type of holocaust(sp) film or play that rips at my heart.

Although, the ending to Das Boot made me go 'Damn, that sucks' which is about as emotional as I get when it comes to movies.

I've had enough about the anti-Chinese baby eating views put forward by certain members of this board.

It is a well-known fact/suspicion/urban myth that Chinese people eat babies & hence it is part of their culture.

As cultures are genetically determined, set in stone & impossible to change we should forgive the Chinese & if we forgive the Chinese for eating babies we should forgive me!

Grave of the Fireflies,
Gallipoli,

And one thats a play, not a movie:

I think it was called "A bright crimson/scarlet flower". It was a play about POWs on the Burma Railroad.

Schindler's List - this needs no explanation

Saving Private Ryan - just something that so vividely shows what our grandfather's went through to secure the freedom of the world is very sobering
