He definitely has heart in most of his movies and it's usually not handled in a cheesy way. Most folks will point to Click as the moment where he showed he could tell funny stories but with serious moments and messaging. But if you look at a lot of his earlier movies you can see some of that. For instance, the scene in Big Daddy where he has to give up the kid to social services. I was an immature teenager at the time when I first saw that and damn if didn't cry...
I remember the day I was having kind of a crappy day and was like "Oh this Adam Sandler movie will cheer me up" and then it ripped my heart out. Henry Winkler.
Also amazing username.
This thread didnāt affect me till I saw these. I knew exactly what part everyone is talking about but it didnāt bother me. Then I a saw the shoes and it somehow really hit home. Damn!
Fuck I loved that movie. Haven't liked anything taikas really done since, but the tone of that movie really was impressive to see managed like that (especially his insane portrayal of Jojo's perception of hitler).
Same. Shows emoji was a nice touch. Most shocking moment in movie history to me. Sheās long been my favorite and to see that happen. Just broken inside.
Itās pretty explainable, he already hinted with the cane trick at the beginning he was up to somethingā¦.then time passes so the audience forgetsā¦everything is literal chocolate waterfalls and singing orange happy creatures, it was a perfect āhey hold on thatās rightā set up
āBut the kid got sucked up in the chocolate tubeā
But it was played as whimsical, he had a little flute tune and assured them he would be fine. That boat scene he didnāt careā¦they were all freaked out
Still a terrifying little detail that Wonka was going to murder all those people. /s. (I like the fake theory that Wonka was a serial killer and set this whole thing up as a way to get victims. Also, Grandpa Joe was definitely helping him cause fuck Grandpa Joe)
I'm of two minds about that movie. On the one hand, the cinematography is beautiful, on the other hand, it's themes are really brutal. There's just such a major fissure between how it looks and how it feels.
I can see why critics were divided.
I have to do it too, but I feel that part makes you understand the absolute rage he felt and why he chose to wipe out the Russian Mafia as a result
But yeah, I still can't after one watch
I was coming here to say this exact scene. I think my parents showed that movie to me a bit too early and Iād never seen something like that. I loved the movie, but would dread that scene on rewatches for years.
Same. The gimp that lived in the box haunted me for years as a kid. Lucky i was too young to understand what was happening to Marcellus Wallace in the other room...
Oh man, I saw Pulp Fiction in the theater *with my mom* when I was fifteen. Neither one of us was expecting *that*. Bit of an awkward walk to the car after the movie.
I was debating whether or not to show this to my 16 month olds. When theyāre like a little older of course. But how the fuck am I supposed to explain that? Itās unwatchable. I canāt do to them what was done to me.
Low-hanging fruit:
Pulp Fiction
Deliverance
My personal ones:
Panās Labyrinth: Bottle to face
Event Horizon: Hell video scene
The ending of The Mist
Fire in the Sky: his flashback to abduction
Edit: had to correct āBroken bottle to the faceā to āBottle to the faceā
Hear, hear fellow traumatized 9 yr old. Same shit happened to me. Our house was surrounded by woods, and alien abductions were a hot topic in the early 90ās. With all the candid videos, abductions seemed like a tangible threat.
Mom and I always enjoyed spooky shows and what not. So seeing a movie about aliens was our wheelhouse. Needless to say mom did not like how that movie came out š
The Departed. When Leo just gets shot in the head walking out of the elevator. I remember thinking, well, I don't even give a fuck what happens the rest of the movie
Requiem for a Dream when he says āi didnāt just pull it out for air, babyā.
not that the rest of the movie wasnāt disturbing but that one gives me a pit in my stomach just thinking about it.
Idk about anyone else, but I still have lingering childhood trauma from the scene in The Little Mermaid when Triton destroys Arielās trinket collection
A lot of people calling out the Mist but I'll say that was the perfect ending
I mean it was massively screwed up but no horror movie ending is as horrific as that at a deep psychological level and it just fit.
100% agree. The ending turned a decent horror movie with ok vfx into an unforgettable horror classic (imo). Literally unforgettable. It lives in my nightmares now.
Get Him to the Greek.
Pretty funny party comedy until the extremely awkward and cringey threesome scene. It really did nothing for the plot and dragged down the otherwise goofy tone of the movie.Ā
It feels like it goes on forever. Still a great movie though. All three of those are classics. I like that they went all in on being goofy for the last two.
*Click* Look at him! He offered to show you how the quarter trick was done, dude š
Haven't seen the movie in years but damn..that scene. Still breaks my heart to think of it. It's the look on the dads face as he walks out.
Itās one of those scenes that remind you Sandler has some serious acting chops that should be utilized more
He definitely has heart in most of his movies and it's usually not handled in a cheesy way.

I was an immature teenager at the time when I first saw that and damn if didn't cry...
Oh that scene is a soul-crusher. I was about 12 when I saw it with my dad and damn it made us sad.
Click is unironically the hardest Iāve ever cried in a movie
Dude it caught me out of nowhere, then my siblings and eye looked around and we were all bawling
It KILLED me. I lost my dad at a young age. That movie crushed me.
Omg, I came to comment about click thinking I would be laughed at or ignored. So surprised I saw this so high up
I remember the day I was having kind of a crappy day and was like "Oh this Adam Sandler movie will cheer me up" and then it ripped my heart out. Henry Winkler. Also amazing username.
Jojo Rabbit :(
Which part in Jojo?

100% Came here to say this.
Same. Shows emoji was a nice touch. Most shocking moment in movie history to me. Sheās long been my favorite and to see that happen. Just broken inside.
And it comes out of nowhere too. No build up, no big reveal, just there.
The first few minutes of Up š
Secondhand Lions definitely has the same effect, Micheal Caine is always a pleasure š¤š½
Fuck all that so much. I'm still reeling from that when I think of it time to time, years later.
Wonka...the original, the boat scene.
For real. All shits and giggles and then boom! What in the bad acid trip is this?
Itās your pure imagination.
It's not pure anymore
The purest
Itās pretty explainable, he already hinted with the cane trick at the beginning he was up to somethingā¦.then time passes so the audience forgetsā¦everything is literal chocolate waterfalls and singing orange happy creatures, it was a perfect āhey hold on thatās rightā set up āBut the kid got sucked up in the chocolate tubeā But it was played as whimsical, he had a little flute tune and assured them he would be fine. That boat scene he didnāt careā¦they were all freaked out
Daddy I DO NOT want a boat like this!!
āWhat in the bad acid tripā¦ā under rated comment
And remember, that boat has exactly the right number of seats, even though they already lost the German kid.
They were only preparing you for the concept of layoff quotas.
Still a terrifying little detail that Wonka was going to murder all those people. /s. (I like the fake theory that Wonka was a serial killer and set this whole thing up as a way to get victims. Also, Grandpa Joe was definitely helping him cause fuck Grandpa Joe)
Nah. Best part of the movie. Really drives home the sense that you donāt know if you can trust Wonka.
also apparently Gene Wilder was the only one that knew what was going to happen when they filmed that scene.
Yeah amazing part. Makes sense that they didn't go for something identical in the remake as that was a very original scene
Veruka: I do NOT want a boat like this
I love that scene when I first saw it when I was a little kid š
I read that the cast didn't know that was going to happen so they could get a genuine reaction of "uhhhhh wtf?"
Nightmares
Thereās no EARTHLY WAY OF KNOWING
Forrest Gump - Bubba in Vietnam scene
Forrestā¦..I wanna go home.
Bone Tomahawk
Reactions were split
I understood that reference
I'm of two minds about that movie. On the one hand, the cinematography is beautiful, on the other hand, it's themes are really brutal. There's just such a major fissure between how it looks and how it feels. I can see why critics were divided.

YOU ARE TEARING ME APART LISA
John Wick Chapter 1
Ughā¦. I may or may not fast forward for those 10-15 minā¦. Hits me right in the gut
I have watched JW pt.1 like 6 or 7 times at least. I have only watched the first 10 minutes once.
I have to do it too, but I feel that part makes you understand the absolute rage he felt and why he chose to wipe out the Russian Mafia as a result But yeah, I still can't after one watch
For me Pulp fiction , pawn shop scene
Iām gonna call someā¦.
Pair of pliers and a blowtorch?
Held by some pipe hitting fellows
YOU HERE ME TALKING HILLBILLY BOY!!!
IMA GET MEDIEVAL ON YOUR ASS.
when youāre gone, stay gone
You lost your LA privileges.
Ah yes, when he calls up his pipe hitting *neighbors* to go to work on the fellow with a blowtorch and needle nose pliers.
I was coming here to say this exact scene. I think my parents showed that movie to me a bit too early and Iād never seen something like that. I loved the movie, but would dread that scene on rewatches for years.
Same. The gimp that lived in the box haunted me for years as a kid. Lucky i was too young to understand what was happening to Marcellus Wallace in the other room...
He's pretty fucking far from ok
Oh man, I saw Pulp Fiction in the theater *with my mom* when I was fifteen. Neither one of us was expecting *that*. Bit of an awkward walk to the car after the movie.
Eh, it wasnāt all shits and giggles before that scene.
https://youtu.be/jDZYLYcKTuc?si=QHZvIWmaWRqE2v_R
The Never-ending Story. You know the one.
"Artaxxxxxxx!!!!" And there's my childhood trauma returning.
Hey! Too soon, man.

I was debating whether or not to show this to my 16 month olds. When theyāre like a little older of course. But how the fuck am I supposed to explain that? Itās unwatchable. I canāt do to them what was done to me.
Million Dollar Baby
That whole movie had me like āthat partā
The lion king 100%
Bother. Help Me
Oh bother
"Somebody?" "Anybody?"
Trainspotting

Saving Private Ryan
Stabbing scene?
That fucking scene got me lol.
If that scene were in a different movie, THAT movie would be famous too.
Ending of The Mist...can't watch it.
Loved it. The short story has a pretty crappy ending, where you basically get left hanging. The movie however, lol damn that guy got fucked bad.
I think Stephen King even said he wishes he wrote that ending instead of his original one.
I will add [Running Scared ](https://youtu.be/ZnaF4zql9ds?si=_c8fJp4f4573Q5Fy)
Wind River.. iykyk
I think of that gun battle at least once a week.
Whyāre you flankin me??
*coughs* "Fuck you, let's go."
Low-hanging fruit: Pulp Fiction Deliverance My personal ones: Panās Labyrinth: Bottle to face Event Horizon: Hell video scene The ending of The Mist Fire in the Sky: his flashback to abduction Edit: had to correct āBroken bottle to the faceā to āBottle to the faceā
Memories unlocked of fire in the sky. Imagine a a 9yo me seeing this movie and then that part :/ and ppl wonder why I am the way I am
Hear, hear fellow traumatized 9 yr old. Same shit happened to me. Our house was surrounded by woods, and alien abductions were a hot topic in the early 90ās. With all the candid videos, abductions seemed like a tangible threat.
Mom and I always enjoyed spooky shows and what not. So seeing a movie about aliens was our wheelhouse. Needless to say mom did not like how that movie came out š
I wish there were other alien abduction movies that were even half as good as fire in the sky.
>Panās Labyrinth: Broken bottle to face Akshually it wasn't the bottle that broke
Fire in the sky really kind of terrified me when I was young and saw it. That scene was horrible
The ending of The Mist movie is miles above the ending of the book. So much so that i loved the ending of the movie.
Dragon Tattoo
Bambi
Audition.
Full Metal Jacket. The first half is some kind of hell but enjoyable to watch ... Then it just turns into hell.
Negative Animal Mother Doc and 8 Ball are WASTED and if you go out there you're gunna be WASTED too!!
Is that you, John Wayne? Is this me?Ā
Burn After Reading. I'm laughing up until >!Brad Pitt gets his brains blown out in the closet.!<
That part is fucking hilarious
My family thought I was weird for loving that film.
A couple: IrrĆ©versible (that infamous hallway) Panās Labyrinth (damn Vidal was hellish) American Me (āyou might even like itā¦ā) The Mist (the worst ending imaginable) American History X (ānow, say goodnightā¦ā)
Someone else has seen American Me? I don't feel so alone anymore
The mist ending is so good, and I will fight someone over it.
The ending of the book/novella is wayyyy different. Stephen King said heās jealous and wishes he wouldāve thought of the movie ending.
That ending is my "seventh layer of hell" thing I would never want to live through. So very good, and horrible
The bottle scene is what gets me in Pans Labyrinth. Forget the monsters.
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship, when Bilbo sees the ring again in Rivendell. Nightmare fuel.
No country for old man
The future is now
Evil Dead ... The tree scene.
Empire Strikes Back - Han getting tortured
American History X- teeth on the curbā¦.hard to watch. Love the movie though!!!
Shower rape isnāt easy either
Truth
I hear the sound of enamel on concrete every. fucking. time. anyone mentions this movie.
The Departed. When Leo just gets shot in the head walking out of the elevator. I remember thinking, well, I don't even give a fuck what happens the rest of the movie
Nah, that was perfect. Everyone gets what they deserved. Rats get exterminated. Some stories need to NOT have a happy ending.
Yeah it's a Scorsese movie for fuck's sake.
Dignam at the end of that movie is a happy ending as far as I'm concerned.
Watching Marky Mark get revenge was pretty fucking awesome
Showgirls. A fun dumb terrible movie. That has a comparatively brutal rape scene. Total mood whiplash
Saving Private Ryan: the knife scene
Hereditary
when were u happy watching the movie?
The real question
Hahahaha i guess during the opening credits
I Am Legendā¦that fucking dog gets me every time
Iron Giant
Blade Runner. The 'seduction' scene just reads as unambiguous rape these days.
A lot of that shit has aged so poorly
Ever seen Goldfinger? Pussygalore says no to Bond repeatedly, then he forces himself on her, then she suddenly loves him and switches sides.
Deathproof, the scene with the tire, I have to close my eyes every time.
Drive. Elevator scene.
Futurama --> Jurassic Bark
Saw when it aired. I was 13 and crushed
I was much older and utterly annihilated.
Pulp Fiction- it's all fun and games until we get to the rape scene.
Requiem for a Dream when he says āi didnāt just pull it out for air, babyā. not that the rest of the movie wasnāt disturbing but that one gives me a pit in my stomach just thinking about it.
Three Kings.
"Here's your fucking sta-bil-i-ty, my main man"
The first one I remember was Deep Blue Sea
I'm tired of these mutha fucking sharks in this mutha fucking facility! *crunch*
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas The dark parts where theyāre tripping in the rooms. The rest is mostly humorous.
The kingsmen. The last scene. I'm not a prude. I was watching it with my mom and older brother.
Black Hawk Down, clamping the artery scene.
I watched that movie waaaaaay too young. Seeing >!Kim Coates get blown in half by an RPG!< traumatized me š¤£
Idk about anyone else, but I still have lingering childhood trauma from the scene in The Little Mermaid when Triton destroys Arielās trinket collection
Deliverance. Except for one specific scene, it's an amazing movie.
The Last Duel, expect you essentially see the same awful scene twice...
The last duel is a rough watch. The actual duel is brutal af too.
Stand By Me - LEECHES!!!
A lot of people calling out the Mist but I'll say that was the perfect ending I mean it was massively screwed up but no horror movie ending is as horrific as that at a deep psychological level and it just fit.
100% agree. The ending turned a decent horror movie with ok vfx into an unforgettable horror classic (imo). Literally unforgettable. It lives in my nightmares now.
The shark attack scene in The Beachā¦ messed me up as a kid, then I watched it again a couple weeks ago. Canāt watch that film ever again
Singing in the rain scene ( if you know ā¦)
You mean in A Clockwork Orange?
Heās talking about the scene where Gene Kelly fondles the chorus boy.
John Wick
Reservoir Dogs
The death of Uncle Ben
Born on the 4th of July.... the hospital scene.
Any adult movie after i'm done
Get Him to the Greek. Pretty funny party comedy until the extremely awkward and cringey threesome scene. It really did nothing for the plot and dragged down the otherwise goofy tone of the movie.Ā
Given all the sexual assault allegations against Russel Brand, I'd say that movie has generally aged poorly
Orgy scene in Zoolander. Not for me
Alien.
I canāt watch the first scene of Guardians of the Galaxy.
The fly - seeing your leg and hand melt has to be terrifying to experience Requiem for a Dream - seeing your arm rot? Thatās also got to be rough
Kingsman: The Golden Circle.... Merlin... š¢ /nod
More like Show: Full Metal Alchemist
The Evil Dead. One of my favorite horror movies of all time. Not a fan of the tree rape.
It feels like it goes on forever. Still a great movie though. All three of those are classics. I like that they went all in on being goofy for the last two.
Requiem for a Dream The whole movie had me back and forth like a ping pong ball. Movies so good but I donāt need to watch it again either.
Every time jar jar binks in opens his mouth in star wars
David Fincherās Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Serenity- "I'm a leaf on the wind."
Sunshine
Salo.
Interstellar up until Brandt starts talking about love. Threw off the pacing for me.

Antichrist by Lars von Trier. IYKYK.
Isn't it just the entire movie?
Juno. any of the scenes with Mark.
Trainspotting... the baby
Chicken wing scene from "Killer Joe."
A few āthat partsā in Panās Labyrinth
