Movies that will make me feel "everything"
I'm on the hunt for movies that will completely wreck me—ones that will let me cry my heart out, relive my first kiss, and feel the sting of heartbreak all over again. I want films that make me reflect on the mistakes I regret and will likely never have the chance to fix. I'm looking for movies that will warm my heart only to shatter it afterward. Any genre works—drama, comedy, thriller—as long as it's brooding, heartfelt, moving, tragic, beautiful, passionate, warm, sobering, wrenching, introspective, and cathartic.
Here are some reference movies:
- Dead Poets Society (1989)
- Good Will Hunting (1997)
- Happythankyoumoreplease (2010)
- Remember Me (2010)
- 50/50 (2011)
- Sicario (2015)
- Manchester by the Sea (2016)
- Thelma (2017)
- Triple Frontier (2019)
- Chemical Hearts (2020)
- The Way Back (2020)
- Past Lives (2023)
- The Holdovers (2023)
And songs that capture the mood I'm after:
- Snuff by Slipknot
- Your Hand in Mine by Explosions in the Sky
- Anchors by Novo Amor
- My December by Linkin Park
- So Far Away by A7X
- Wait by M83
- Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie
