What are the best films that make anyone cry?

March 5, 2010 - 7:46 pm 15 Comments

I am searching for a film which makes cry. I have seen Forest Gump really like the film in which Tom Hanks remain alone in his life. Please tell me these kind of film which include loneliness and does not have happy ending that makes anyone cry.

I have the best movie for you ,,

Instead of telling you about it .. ill put the reveiw from amazon on here ..

Grave Of The FIreflies ,

I generally don’t cry at movies. I love any movie that can move me enough to shed a tear or two. Grave Of the Fireflies is not one of those movies. In those movies even though I’m sad the final scenes leave me with a residual hope that while some tragic event has just occured the charecters involved will grow and live better. Grave of the Fireflies doesn’t do this. There is no hope or possiabilty of things getting better. This is Life at it’s cruelest. Life that will never get better. This movie doesn’t move you, it shatters you.
Seita And Setsuko (the boy and His little sister) aren’t Heros and their abusive aunt isn’t the villian. Neither for that matter is either side of the war protrayed as good or bad in these movie. This is just a story of people being people. some kind, some indiffrent and some compleatly harsh. Seita makes mistakes that many children in his position would.

Although fifteen years old this film is still very beatiful. The images it portrays are quiet and subdued yet elegent. The final scene is something that shall forever be burned into my brain. It’s touching and heartwrenching finality should break most people.

Well I love Grave of the Fireflies. I Love it for it’s unflinching look at war and life, It’s graceful bueaty as it portrays a young girl playing amidst Fireflies, and for what it does to me at the end.

Its true this movie is everything he said .. so powerful is it infact that most who have seen the movie find even the Description makes your eyes swell up again ..

#10 Adaptation – The Greatest Films – a list by Carlos de Mello

March 5, 2010 - 7:20 pm No Comments

Adaptation – Directed by Spike Jonze – 2002 Cinematography by Lance Acord — Nothing happens in life. Life is boring. writer Charlie Kaufman (Nicholas Cage) declares to screen writing wiz Robert Mckee (played by Brian Cox) whilst at one of his writing seminars. To this Robert Mckee fiercely replies Nothing happens in life? Are you mad? People find love. People lose it. Everyday someone makes a conscious decision to destroy someone else. With these two characters there is a strong summary of all of Charlie Kaufmans work which is finding the interesting and extraordinary in everyday life. Adaptation is a great example of this because Kaufman tries to answer this question through his characters as oppose to his usual device of creating surreal scenarios to attempt to answer this question. The most interesting area of this film is Kaufmans struggle to write the movie. Kaufman uses the film as a tool to discuss writing conventions. Kaufman himself declares that he does not want to make a fantastical film about car chases, guns or characters faced by obstacles that they must overcome. He simply wants to make a film about flowers. As the film shows this is no easy task. The contrast between the neurotic Charlie Kaufman with twin brother Donald Kaufman works brilliantly. Donald Kaufman has followed his brothers footsteps and begins to write a screenplay of his own. Donald attends regular screenwriting workshops and generally writes with conventions and stereotypes. Kaufman shows his cleverness here by showing the audience these conventions to enhance his more complex style of writing. In Kaufmans quest to find adventure in naturalism he still creates a line in the film where fact and fiction meet. The problem is trying to find where that line is. Even to the extent of his characters it is unclear how accurate they are. In this auto-biographical piece it is not clear what Kaufman has contrived to drive plot and what he has kept close to real life. Charlie Kaufman shows bravery in creating himself as a timid weak person and yet does not hint to the audience that his character is merely a representation and not his real persona. The heart pumping close of the film leaves the audience wondering about these small details. This is a different approach for Kaufman as the audience usually leaves the film wondering what the they just saw. This once again sticks to Kaufmans new deconstructive approach to writing and it clear that Kaufman is attempting to master a much more subtle style of writing. Nicholas Cage puts in one of his best performances in recent memory. No offence meant to Mr. Cage but he does portray paranoia and insecurity brilliantly. He never goes over the top with his performance. He also shines as the brother Donald who is confident yet naïve. The chance to play two roles which show an actors range so strongly must have been a challenge for Cage but he fully leaps in and created one of his best pieces of work here.

I’ve just joined lovefilm and would like to know what in your opinion is the best films ever?

All depends on what genre of films you like. I pretty much like all kinds and have watched so many from chick flicks to gangster! My fave different ones off the top of my head are;
girly ones: beaches, titanic, the notebook, ghost
thriller: taken, man on fire, eden lake, butterfly on a wheel, single white female
gangster; scarface, goodfellas, carlitos way, blow
comedy: anchorman (very random!)
horror: orphan, drag me to hell, the descent, the exorcist
also the shawshank redemption, schindlers list, braveheart :) xxx

what are the best european horror films?

February 15, 2010 - 12:48 pm 5 Comments

I know the classic silent ones and hammer films. Are there any good modern euro horror films being made? I’m interested in anything from the 60’s on.

Wow, "Amisha" only mentioned like 5 titles that are actually European: High Tension (French), The Descent (British), 28 Days Later (British), The Orphanage (Spanish), and Shaun of the Dead (British). (The 2006 re-make of The Hills Have Eyes was directed by the director of High Tension, but it was an American production, so it doesn’t really count) The rest on that list are American or Japanese… LOL

To that list I would add Anatomy (German; 2000), Frontier(s) (French; 2007), Demons (Italian; 1985), Let the Right One In (Swedish; 2008), Suspiria (Italian; 1977), and the TV mini-series The Kingdom (Danish; 1994) and The Kingdom II (Danish; 1997). Also, anything by Dario Argento is pretty fun, usually…
