Films that you'll never forget!

[LindyLouWho]

I watched a film called Where the Red Fern Grows. I was feeling every emotion there is! I rarely see a movie that I call people about. Anyone have a certain film or films they will never forget?

Excalibur and Empire of the Sun.

Where the Red Fern Grows is one of THE most depressing movies I've ever seen!!

Well, there's plenty of movies I've seen that I'll never forget, but one that pops into my head right now is, Shadowlands. I've never cried so hard at a movie then I did with this one. So sad, yet so good.

Letters To Juliet,Black Balloon,What's Eating Gilbert Grape. I tend to recall alot of films but these are such memorable films to me.

Oh yeah! I saw one on Turner Classic Movies a couple weeks ago and LOVED it, I'll never forget it. It was called Kind Hearts and Coronets and starred Alec Guiness.

There are really too many to list! There are so many movies that I love, that I could watch over and over, that really impacted me the first time I saw them.

However, there is ONE movie that I saw, and decided that, while it was a well-done movie, is definitely a movie I DON'T need to see more than the one time. I'm not saying that I didn't like it...far from the truth! It's just that I don't think I could watch it again.

"Revolutionary Road".

An oldie but goodie. No remakes of this one probably because it was so good that a remake would never equal it. Random Harvest with Ronald Colman and Greer Garson, based on the novel by James Hilton who also wrote Lost Horizon it takes place after WWI and involves a romance between a dance hall girl and a shell shocked, amnesiac soldier..beautiful love story and intriguing plot. The first of the really good movies about lost memory and lost love setting the mold for many to follow none of them as good as this one. Need kleenex every time I see it. B&W..vintage 1940's.

I also liked Hoosiers so well that I watch it once a year. It's like I am driving down that Indiana country road heading towards that little town in the 1950's again every time. (this is the opening scene) The old high school and gym look like ours did. A great story..the best sports movie ever made as far as I am concerned. Gene Hackman and Barbara Hersey just shine. The players are all good too..but Dennis Hopper was at his very best form as the alcoholic father of a team member who is made assistant coach. This film is a keeper especially if you love basketball.

Just watched again both The Other Side of the Mountain and The Other Side of the Mountain: Part II...wonderful love stories in this account of the life of Jill Kinmont (later Boothe) a national skiing hopeful who was permanently disabled during a race in 1955. With only the use of her head and upper shoulders she became a teacher, author, artist, advocate for the handicapped, and a happily married woman. She is now 74 and lives in Bishop, CA. with her husband of many years. Both films are heart rendering and very inspirational. Favorties for me! They are both now available free to watch on hulu.com.

The Robe,a classic fav.

I saw The Robe when I was seventeen. It was the first step in my acceptance of Christ as savior in my life. Also played in the high school play ... same story on stage. I am 73 now.
