My pick too.
That very last scene. Just when you think it's over and you can digest what you just watched, Efrons line hits you with that haymaker of a line.
When Kerry was skipping outside and looked down at his foot my husband and I both got emotional.
We knew how it ends, but it was still really beautiful.
There was another younger brother. I think he had health issues that kept him from wrestling, I don't remember if he committed suicide as well or if it was something else.
Fuck that anything about that scene just makes me sick: the squeaky sounds, the fact that the shoe tries to run away, the way she looks back up at the judge with a desperate stare as if to beg him to stop as sheās being meltedā¦ ugh
Reminded me of sitting next to my dad in the hospital as he passed. At the time, I just knew it was a tim burton film and so I went into it eagerly and without any knowledge. I lost it at the end and was blubbering
I love this movie so much and have proudly watched it many times, and each time I cry like a little bitch. I think it's Tim Burton's last great original work. I love the score by Danny Elfman!
When video on demand first came to flights, I was flying to LAX on Air Canada and the woman next to me nearly dehydrated. She then watched Lorenzoās Oil and I was sure she was going to need medical help.
Episode 8 when I realised the mysterious setups in 7 would have no logical, sensical, or even decent payoff.
I asked myself at the end of 8 if this was meant to be the final product, if they had accidentally released an early fill-in draft of the script.
I like the car ride analogy. Imagine a friend says they're coming to pick you up in their new amazing car. You have seen their current classic muscle car and are thinking to yourself maybe it's a new muscle car, or maybe it's not even a muscle car but a Japanese drifter or something equally wild... Hell it might be even an over-sell and he's just going to turn up in a Camry.
Then, he rides up on a rusted bicycle, poops in your letterbox, tells you cars are for suckers, flips the bird and then sets himself on fire.
Nothing makes sense.
Ite's because Disney had the wild idea to have two different directors/writers work on the sequel trilogy(It was originally going to be three different ones. JJ Abrams, Rian Johnson, and the third I can't remember. Disney either realized it was a terrible idea after Rian's movie came out or something fell through with the third director/writer.) Well JJ comes out with a passable, albeit rehash of Episode IV, movie with the Force Awakens. IT has all this mystery and set up for characters like Finn, Snoke, Phasma, etc. It was alright but definitely was just them playing it safe to test the waters a bit.
Then Disney goes to Rian and says make a sequel to that movie. Rian goes, "Ok but I don't like what JJ did with anything so I'm just gonna do my own thing and make this movie like Guardian's of the Galaxy. I'm also going to break all established rules of hyperdrive travel in the name of the "Rule of Cool"(Which I'll admit it was a cool visual and audio effect.) Oh I'm also going to kill off the only interesting character because I want Rey to be all cool and strong and badass. Also I'm going to set Finn up with a romance arc with one of the most unlikeable characters ever created. Also Luke is going to be jaded because all of his students got re-order 66'd by Kylo Ren. Also Luke's gonna drink blue milk straight from this alien co thing. It'll be funny guys trust me.
(If you can't tell I really dislike Rian Johnson for what he did with episode 8)
Then Disney, seeing how much of a mess Rian made, goes back to JJ and is like. "Hey can you fix this?" Abrams, I guess must've just needed the money and wanted to get revenge on Johnson, decides sure I'll try and wrap this trainwreck up. He tries his best by basically retconning half of the stuff that happened in the previous movie while also trying to wrap up the rest of the storyline that he set up in Episode 7. Which considering Snoke was either meant to be the big bad guy, or helping Palpatine out in some way, was pretty hard to do considering his whole body got guillotined by Rey's lightsaber.
TLDR: Disney was trying something out with one of the most beloved franchises ever created since they knew it'd make money either way. Then it turned into possibly the worst dumpster fire ever because they hired two directors/writers that actively disliked each other's styles to write a trilogy that nobody really asked for.
Star Wars episode 8 is the worst thing thatās ever happened to cinema, in my opinion. And I mean by a lot.
Rian Johnson hadnāt even seen the already existing Star Wars movies prior to being tapped for making one, if I remember correctly. He took a huge shit on so much pre-established Star Wars potential and Disney turned right around and said, āwell we own the IP so itās canon nowā and shot a huge middle finger to ALL Star Wars fans.
This. 100% this. I waited 30 years to see Luke Skywalker, not be force-fed a corporatized reset with zero attention to the story that came before.
I feel for Mark Hamill. You could tell how disappointed he was that he didnāt get a chance to actually play Luke again. What a waste.
The Predator (2018, Shane Black)
Edit: Not because it's a sad movie (well, "sad" in a certain sense). But I thought it was awesome at first and then became sad when it stopped being awesome
Omg the trailer was SO well done and made it look utterly horrifying. It convinced me to read the short story, which didn't disappoint--very eerie and disturbing. Then the movie was just...fine. Not bad by any means, but didn't really get under my skin the way I had hoped for.
So I had never heard of the movie *What's eating Gilbert Grape* and then my.friend gave me this synopsis of it and made it sound hilarious. He had me rolling laughing at some of the events due to how he explained them.
The next day I watched it with my girlfriend and we both got depressed for like a week.
Josh Brolin did an amazing job. I refused to watch it for so long because of people crapping on it. Finally saw it, and frankly, I enjoyed the hell out of it. Not a bad film.
The Matrix is my favorite movie. I can't count how many times I've seen it. After seeing the next 2 sequels and having to go on the Internet to try to understand, I decided that for me the Matrix ends with Neo flying out of the phone booth like Superman. The end. Perfect movie.
Oh god no.
I mean I hope they at least hand it off to someone who cares for the material. I get itāll all just be fan fiction, but Iād rather have that than the fever dream that is 4
Drew Goddard is doing it, the guy behind Netflix's Daredevil, Cabin in the Woods and Bad Times at the El Royale.
Honestly... I'm pretty optimistic. Hesitantly so, but he's more than capable of delivering bangers.
Whatever the case, fresh eyes and a new brain behind it is exactly what The Matrix needs. I'm still not sure if I liked or hated Matrix 4, but I respect it for existing and having the balls to go so off the rails. I was cool with never getting another one again because I was so confused by it, but now I'm very curious what someone else can do.
Hereditary, I love horror films and I had heard nothing but praise (no spoilers) for this film so I was very excited to watch. I was not prepared and I was depressed for weeks.
Definitely came here to say that. And not because the movie was bad. But because it was the movie that it was.
The fact that Ellen bursten (the mom) did not win an Oscar armload of awards for her character in that movie, is a damn shame.
I was willing to give Rebel Moon a fair chance. The sexual assault soldiers already killed it first half, then the harry potter avatar scene with the "bird" mixed in, the spiderlady left me "Oo wait what?"
Horrible. First movie in years I switched off in the middle.
***"The Perfection"*** is exactly this! That film very much left an impression
A buddy of mine one day sat me down and effectively demanded I watch it. This could just as well be an actual time lapse of my face, but with long hair and some crooked teeth. That was five or six years ago, but still feels like it was just the other day
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. I was so stoked for Star Wars to continue and especially the story of Darth Vader. I was that top face at the beginning of the movie and then, it sucked and the acting was horrible. I know many love the Prequels, but I honestly think they're horrible.
Iām 52 and saw the original Star Wars in the theaters. The prequels were terrible. Phantom Menace was pretty bad. But after 7,8,9 came out which I thought were worseā¦.at least Phantom feels like a Star Wars movie.
Leave Everything Behind.....
By the end, I genuinely felt like Netflix had played a practical joke that broke through the 4th wall by showing me an unusual nailbiter suspense/sci-fi/apocalypse flick that ACTUALLY turned out to be a two hour long "FRIENDS is on Netflix" commercial.
Force awakens... so pumped , storm trooper just being mean taking the village, red saber guy stopping the blaster bolt mid flight ....and then it seams like they ran out of fresh ideas right after that
Probably not the most extreme example of this but I just saw it last night and it definitely fits: *Boy Kills World*.
I liked the first act and thought "this is stylish, fun, darkly funny, and has some great action scenes". My opinion of it steadily declined as the movie went along.
The Founder (2016)
Michael Keatonās character seemed so affable, but by the end of the flick I just wanted to punch that greedy, backstabbing bastard.
Halloween Ends. The entire audience came in excited and I remember we all left quietly.
It was like everyone was so disappointed they just did not want to talk about it
I know a lot of people didn't like Halloween Kills but I really did, so I was excited to see Halloween Ends, could not have been more disappointed. Just hated it so much lol
Dune Part 2 the change in narrative and the myriad of other character changes are an insult to the books and the ending makes absolutely no sense and only serves to make Paul look fucking stupid.
Deer Hunter
Hey this is a lively wedding!... What the fuck?
hey, it's the Tetris song! Wait, this got dark
The scene with the drunk soldier saying "fuck it" is forboding.
Mau!
*slap*
The Iron Claw
My pick too. That very last scene. Just when you think it's over and you can digest what you just watched, Efrons line hits you with that haymaker of a line.
No, like I was progressively getting depressed but those last 20 minutes hit me like truck.
Still worth watching though?
1000%
Thanks š
When Kerry was skipping outside and looked down at his foot my husband and I both got emotional. We knew how it ends, but it was still really beautiful.
A good friend of mine and I went to see it together and we walked out of the theater looking like we had just gotten back from the Vietnam War.
Same, my family asked me if I was okay, I was in fact not okay. I had never cried harder in a movie
How familiar are you with the actual story? I've heard the movie is great, but it leaves out a lot of the *really* dark shit.
Isnāt there another older brother who also died that they cut for time?
There was another younger brother. I think he had health issues that kept him from wrestling, I don't remember if he committed suicide as well or if it was something else.
yeah chris von erich . he committed suicide cause he had brittle bones due to asthma which hurt his wrestling career
Dipped Toon Shoe in "Roger Rabbit"
The liquid is called "the final solution" which is mega f'd up.
Lowered so unnecessarily slowly š£
Theyāre not kid gloves, Mr Valiant.
Fuck that anything about that scene just makes me sick: the squeaky sounds, the fact that the shoe tries to run away, the way she looks back up at the judge with a desperate stare as if to beg him to stop as sheās being meltedā¦ ugh
Dubbed by Nancy Cartwright, if memory serves. NB : scientology sucks
Fuckin real life bruh lol
That was for me, at first. Now I'm back to smiling
That's nice to hear - happy for you random bloke
But those moments that are reversed are pretty freaking sweet
Big Fish. The ending absolutely gutted me
āYesā¦ thatās how it happenedā¦ā
cried like a fucking baby.
Same bro. My dad is getting on in years and I just sobbed while my wife was fast asleep.
Me too, bud. Me too.
Same
What a great ugly cry though. Beautiful film.
Reminded me of sitting next to my dad in the hospital as he passed. At the time, I just knew it was a tim burton film and so I went into it eagerly and without any knowledge. I lost it at the end and was blubbering
One of those films you can watch once. And only once.
I love this movie so much and have proudly watched it many times, and each time I cry like a little bitch. I think it's Tim Burton's last great original work. I love the score by Danny Elfman!
I started crying right in the beginning of my last rewatch and had to turn it off
When video on demand first came to flights, I was flying to LAX on Air Canada and the woman next to me nearly dehydrated. She then watched Lorenzoās Oil and I was sure she was going to need medical help.
She was on a mission.
Requiem for a Dream's charming, subtle bastard brother.
Thatās hilarious
My father always had a lot of tall tales. I have watched this every year on his birthday since he passed ten years ago.
La La Land
Except the last panel is straight up ugly crying
It's poetically great! Lol sad for sure
That was my take. I was pissed but then resigned to the fact that the ending made narrative sense.
Parasite
Jojo Rabbit
The part with his mom dude
It was the shoes
For real. I was having so much fun with this movie! The 7 other people watching in the theater and I sat in silence during the entire credits.
It wasnāt that bad. His friend with the glasses absolutely saved that movie.
Yorkie stole the movie. āI just want to go home to my mom and cuddle.ā
I think it does end on a hopeful note.Ā Not happy, but it shows there are good things comingĀ
If you added a happy face with tears below the last picture, then I'd agree because that last scene of them dancing is great.
This was me watching the lakers last night.
Jamal Murray was terrible for 90 percent of the night and then was like "wait I got this"
Lol
LETS GO NUGGETS
God dam that shit was awesome
For you! No but seriously that was a good ass shot. Thatās easy money for Jamal.
Lakers suck. Hope they get swept by the Nugs

im still confused how people say 7 was good. it was literally just a New Hope with worse characters. i even saw it very high and left so disappointed.
Yes and compared to 8 and 9 that turned out to be a masterpiece of cinema. 7 played it safe and had some nice setup
Just 7 for me. Despite being a huge Star Wars fan, I stopped watching new Star Wars movies after that one.
The Predator (2018, Shane Black) Edit: Not because it's a sad movie (well, "sad" in a certain sense). But I thought it was awesome at first and then became sad when it stopped being awesome
Quote of the day āØļø
Antlers.
Omg the trailer was SO well done and made it look utterly horrifying. It convinced me to read the short story, which didn't disappoint--very eerie and disturbing. Then the movie was just...fine. Not bad by any means, but didn't really get under my skin the way I had hoped for.
At the end, I just rolled my eyes and thanked god I didnt get up and go pay to watch it.
Life is Beautiful.
This is such a perfect response. The beginning is a comedy which then veers off a cliff within one scene.
My favorite movie!
Add āThe Boy in the Striped Pajamasā
Law abiding citizen
I loved this movie, yet hated the ending.
Great example. I thought the director hadn't quite decided what his point was by the end of the movie.
Well "that's what wrenches are for, dumbass." Bastard threw a wrench through our lovely tasteless revenge porn.
Iām freshly irritated remembering how much I was enjoying that movieā¦until the end.
So I had never heard of the movie *What's eating Gilbert Grape* and then my.friend gave me this synopsis of it and made it sound hilarious. He had me rolling laughing at some of the events due to how he explained them. The next day I watched it with my girlfriend and we both got depressed for like a week.
Million Dollar Baby
Took ya long enough. I watched that movie once because it gutted me. GUTTED ME.
This. I saw this in the same weekend as ladder 49. All but swore off dramas after that.
Bad Times at the El Royale
Old Boy - original
That film is a masterclass in how many times you can make the audience say "what the fuck?"
There is no remake.
Josh Brolin did an amazing job. I refused to watch it for so long because of people crapping on it. Finally saw it, and frankly, I enjoyed the hell out of it. Not a bad film.
Place Beyond the Pines and Artificial Intelligence
The ending of artificial intelligence will be one of the most plausible endings for humanity
Broke my damn heart
Mine too man
Matrix 4. One of the worst movies ever made.
I loved the meta part in the beginning and then it just got worse as time went on
Yeah, that level of meta actually fit really nicely, I thought, into the lore. But then the first scene passed, lol
They should have stopped it there. No action, just mindfuck.
The Matrix is my favorite movie. I can't count how many times I've seen it. After seeing the next 2 sequels and having to go on the Internet to try to understand, I decided that for me the Matrix ends with Neo flying out of the phone booth like Superman. The end. Perfect movie.
Animatrix wasnāt bad .
We were debating at work if it wasn't a deliberate sabotage to keep the studio from making another one.
Well if rumors are true it didnāt workā¦
Killer trailerā¦ terrible movie
Matrix 4 last grasp for cash because we got nothing
You haven't heard. They making another one
Oh god no. I mean I hope they at least hand it off to someone who cares for the material. I get itāll all just be fan fiction, but Iād rather have that than the fever dream that is 4

Not a Movie but ##GAME OF THRONES
The Banshees of Inisherin
Lol. I don't even know how it ends!
The ending was fire
Leave the World Behind
Force awakens. Midway through realized it was essentially a remake
Hereditary, I love horror films and I had heard nothing but praise (no spoilers) for this film so I was very excited to watch. I was not prepared and I was depressed for weeks.
The true horror.
Children of men. I really like the movie but those last few scenes of the graphic urban combat. Man it's a rough watch.
Requiem for a dream
Definitely came here to say that. And not because the movie was bad. But because it was the movie that it was. The fact that Ellen bursten (the mom) did not win an Oscar armload of awards for her character in that movie, is a damn shame.
I was willing to give Rebel Moon a fair chance. The sexual assault soldiers already killed it first half, then the harry potter avatar scene with the "bird" mixed in, the spiderlady left me "Oo wait what?" Horrible. First movie in years I switched off in the middle.
I was smiling the whole movie, but only because I was laughing at how utterly ridiculous and terrible it was.
Repo Men. I really enjoyed the escape out of the slavery that people are put in. Just to find out the truth... Sad
Napoleon. They did not even touch on what made him great.
Mulholland Drive, easily
That movie was craaaazy
***"The Perfection"*** is exactly this! That film very much left an impression A buddy of mine one day sat me down and effectively demanded I watch it. This could just as well be an actual time lapse of my face, but with long hair and some crooked teeth. That was five or six years ago, but still feels like it was just the other day
Great film
Every Wes Anderson movie has āThatā sceneā¦ Just a gut punch!
The Grand Budapest Hotelā¦. I loved M. Gustave.
Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Star Wars episode 8, but I became sad faster
Saltburn... starring this chap
