  Well we got a discussion on movies that make you cry, but how about a topic on movies that make you feel ANY powerful emotion. Be it hate, anger, disgust, happiness, or sadness.
  
  Well I just got done watching 28 Weeks Later for the 10+ time, and the opening 10 minutes leave me breathless every single time. Just the look on his wife's face.. wow, just a scary and disturbing representation on what would actually happen in that situation.
  
  So go for it, what movies make you FEEL?

  Requiem for a Dream... holy shight! I also think that V for Vendetta and Closer cause a lot of emotion - V in the political sense and Closer in the dating sense. If anyone is frustrated with having consistently crappy dates, I highly recommend Closer. It's the perfect "screw that crap" movie.

  I just recently watched one (all the way through this time). The Crucible envokes VERY deep emotion. Half the time I was thinking, will someone just kill Abigail already!!!!

  My friend in school almost killed me for this one - she asked me to lend her a movie that would make her really cry, so I handed her Life As a House and asked if she was sure. She said "just give it here, it can't be that bad!" She came back a few hours later threw the movie at me, smacked the back of my head, and screamed "how could you do that to me!!! you should have told me to not watch that alone!" I just laughed and said "told you so"

  Latter Days.... i BAWLED my eyes out over the suicide.
  
  omg, i just choked up thinking about it!!
  
  that and the movie Playing by Heart... where Jay Mohr plays a guy dying of AIDS who's mom finds out he's gay on his deathbed. And she reads Goodnight Moon to him as he breaths his last breaths.
  
  My mom read that to me everynight as a kid, and my first word was Moon.

  I can't believe Old Yeller hasn't been mentioned. Homeward Bound made me cry so hard, my eyes hurt. Anything to do with animals makes me cry.

  Maybe not deep emotion but movies I've responded to:
  
  The Mist, it was scary, thrilling and the end was disturbing and depressing, a great horror/thriller.
  
  The Notebook, I'm not easily moved but this one made me cry.
  
  A Soldier's Girl, range of emotions, from anger to lust (the guy in the movie was hot).
  
  All About Eve, ohhh Eve Harrington, she was despicable, really made me want to slap her.
  
  The Fog (original version) and Cloverfield, scariest movies ever. I was jumping from my seat every 2 seconds.

  "The Patriot" w/Mel Gibson (as opposed to the Steven Siegal one). A few tier jerker scenes I find in there. I'll put more details in about this later.
  
  "What Dreams May Come". Robin Williams dies and he goes to heaven. Not funny, but it is artistically beautiful, and there are just moments when you find unbridaled joy.

  Recently: 'Changeling'
  
  There are many, but my favorite: 'The Man Without a Face' - It hits home in so many ways. As a child, I often felt as and was similarly emotionally unstable as Norstadt. The problem is that I never had my McLeod. That movie is probably the only reason why I cant view Mel Gibson in a negative light. I kind of fell for him a little in that role.
  
  While it doesn't affect me on a personal level, 'The Color Purple' certainly makes me sing and cry like a big ole queen!

  Both of those films are amazing.
  
  For me, it would be:
  
  The Green Mile
  Immortal Beloved
  It's a Wonderful Life

  I would have to say 'Sicko'. I saw it at a time that my friends grandmother was going thru some tough times health wise and it mirrored the hoops that the family had to go thru just to get her some basic care.

  I always have a bit of a bawl watching Love Actually.
  
  Little Miss Sunshine leaves me chuckling for a couple of hours.
  
  And I can't even begin to explain what Donnie Darko does to me. I'm (usually) a practical person who likes everything to make sense. I have no idea what this movie is about (and no, I don't want anyone to try and explain it to me), but everytime I finish watching it I need to sit there by myself in complete silence for about 15 minutes.

  Recently: I watched Shelter again... and man, the falling in love scenes does make me feel a bit lonelier.
  
  All time:
  
  Atonement made me feel lost. One of the richest movies in terms of emotions invoked for a long while. Grief, anger, guilt, and love.
  
  Cloverfield was damn exhilarating and scary.
  
  Movies that made me happy: Happy Feet, Wall-E, Shrek, and almost every goddamn romantic comedy out there.
  
  Movies that made me think: The Man from Earth, Ghost In The Shell (both the original and Innocence), Twelve Monkeys, The Fountain, GATTACA, Vanilla Sky, Crash, A Scanner Darkly, The Second Renaissance (part of the Animatrix movies), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, A.I., What Dreams May Come
  
  Movies that inspired: The Pursuit of Happyness, Tokyo Godfathers, Pay It Forward... a LOT more. Too lazy to think much right now.
