The Champ. Saw that when I was very young and I think it may have scarred me for life.
Saving Private Ryan. That opening scene so beautifully encapsulates the horrors of war and in particular the contempt for and waste of human life. Incredibly sad seeing soldiers mowed down before even setting a foot off the amphibious crafts.
Forrest Gump. Definitely one of the all time greatest movies ever made. Cried like a newborn pretty much from beginning to end, an emotional rollercoaster!!
The Pianist. Harrowing, the cruelty was over whelming.
Life Is Beautiful. Harrowing. How can a movie about life in a Nazi death camp be anything but?
