Inception
i was breathless after that movie and i just cant explain how unbelievably awesome the movie i just saw was
one of the five movies i know of that i could easily call perfect in my opinion

another is the movie Serenity
ui cant believe they killed Wash the comic relief and the heart of the crew cut down by a random spike through a windshield that sole moment shocked me so bad i watched the rest of the movie in a trance
blew my mind as well

Berserk (the manga)

It's been many, MANY years since a piece of modern media impacted me in the same way as this comic did.
It's like a long period of reading an ordinary comic then suddenly your mind is getting raped by horrifying demons.

I subject myself to things known to have that sort of effect. I enjoy a good story, and tamer ones just rarely satisfy.

I was 17 and watched Fight Club and Taxi Driver in a given week. Damn are those two works that spoke to me at that time. Still enjoy them, and don't worry I didn't do anything too silly.

Gran Torino. Clint Eastwood you clever bastard.
Agreed.

I also agree with No Country for Old Men. Many will think it's crap because of it's pace, perhaps they won't see the same things I did, taste is subjective afterall.

This is England was a film that caused me to stop and digest what I had seen. For those who don't know it's about a 12 year old boy whos father was killed during the Falklands war. Without a father, growing up in the recession hit north of England, he befriends a group of local skinheads (the proper type, not the AB type). He then finds a father figure in one of their old friends, whos time in prison, not to mention his underlying psychological problems have turned him into a National Front supporting racist.

It's difficult to explain without spoiling it, but being from a working class background myself it reminded me of things I have experienced in my own life. It deals with people from hard lives misdirecting their anger, clashes of cultures and loss of innocence. It can easily be identified with today, in our current situation. As our generation we wonder how racism can still exist, it shows how the seeds are planted, the anger which guides it and the consequences of it.

There are a couple films that have done this to me.

1. Fight Club (every fucking time, man!)
2. Avatar (I walked around the city in a daze for an hour not knowing where I was, just that none of it seemed real after that)
3. Wanted (Yeah OK it was a crappy film but I dunno, I felt different afterwards, like I wanted to make something of my life)
4. Dark Knight (changed my life. simple as that)

Resevoir dogs is a piece of art, I thought it was generic cussing for the first five minutes but it REALLY showed its source.

The Godfather, but it wasn't so much a "punch in the stomach" as a "wow, a movie that good can't exist"

Also, Taxi Driver. Absolutely daunting

It's great, isn't it? Possibly the Coen Brother's best, although I still think Blood Simple is slightly better.

As for mine, Cube. I recently watched it, and it was probably one of the tensest experiences of my life. Never has a film managed to capture the feeling of claustrophobia so well.


I'd recommend it. The second is good too. The third, not so much.
Glad to see someone else who liked that movie.

I recommended it to Pararaptor a while ago and he hated it....
I loved the original, didn't mind the second and didn't really enjoy the third.

The original Alien movie did this to me but I've matured a bit more since and it takes more to phase me. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any movie that is freaked me out as much as Cube in awhile...

Inception blew me away though but that was to be expected as it dealt with dreaming, a favourite topic of mine.

Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass

The scene where Roland accidentally kills his own mother.

Still one of the most powerful scenes I've ever read.

The film Irreversible. One you get to the very beginning you realize how just a few simple choices effected an entire night. Like the title itself mentions...you can't just go back and change everything. Once a decision is made it can stick with you forever. Hence the truth in the "ending" of the movie.

Cowboy Bebop's ending...was stunning. Just a fight to the finish. It couldn't have ended any other way.

Memento. The whole thing is a giant mindfuck wrapped in a layer of "what the shit?" topped with some "WOAH". Amazing movie. It's also the most depressing movie I've ever seen.
The main guy, Leonard, spends every minute of his life trying to find his wife's "killer", even though he killed her, and he fabricated the story of her getting killed by a man named John C. Gammel just so his life would have purpose, because his wife's death is always fresh in his mind. He has short term memory, which he gained on the night of his wife's death. But even if he kills the "killer", he just forgets.

(Man, I thought this would be a reference to "The Hangover". And cue someone quoting me to tell me that movie was overrated in 3...2...1...)

Anyway, "Apocalypse Now" had that effect on me. That was the most weirdly depressing movie I have ever seen.

A friend of mine recently got me to sit down with him and watch Milk, now I had no idea about any of the stuff that had gone on in reality, so went in blind, by the time the film was over I was speachless

Say what you want about how they ended LOST (I loved it but thats a whole other topic) but when the credits rolled at the end of that eppisode, after witnissing that ending, in silence (barring nature sounds) with shots of plane wreckage, I sat there absolutly floored unable to move, talk... anything.

Brokeback Mountain to this day leaves me crying, there is one very particular scene that I cant for the life of me find online (and here I thought everything was online) but its the very iconic scene where Jake Gyllenhaal's character "Jack Twist" uses the line "So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain! Everything's built on that! That's all we got, boy, f*ckin' all. So I hope you know that, even if you don't never know the rest!"... that entire scene, from the camp the night before onwards.... I cant get through it without a tear in my eye

Finally, this isnt a game or a movie, but if anyone has read "The Sight" by David Clement-Davies, the ending to that floored me, I spent the next 3 days in a strange mood that I couldnt put my finger on, like a wieght on my shoulders, I wasnt necessarily unhappy, though the ending was depressing, but wasnt happy either... I just was... it effected me in a way that to this day nothing else quite has... its very hard to explain...

Anyone else have an experience with a film or game that just... floors you?
Recent example: I just watched Casablanca for the first time about 6 hours ago and I was stunned by how amazing it was. I knew it would be good but I was caught completely off-guard nonetheless. If it's not in my top 10 best movies of all time, it's definitely in my top 20 (which means something; I have seen over 2500 movies in my 22.5 years).

Best example: Perfect Blue. I am neither lying nor exaggerating when I say that this film changed my life. It's an incredible, intense, animated masterpiece by the recently-dearted Satoshi Kon.
