Popculture, I just can't cry silently... if I try to hold back it just gets worse.
AH, sometimes movies trigger emotional responses that aren't directly related, but that are looking for a release.
A good sob is therapeutic!

"I was a young closeted teen sitting in the theater with my grandmother and I was crying uncontrollably. I don't even think I new why."
Andy - I had a similar moment to this, but it was watching Born Free - maybe it was just the title

Schindler's List - for reasons already been elaborated on
First scene of Saving Private Ryan (ugh...can't stand violent movies)
The Best Years of Our Lives - for some reason, this movie always just hits me in the heart...a personal aftermath of war, of lives forever changed...
Some Like It Hot - HUGE Marilyn Monroe fan...and if she doesn't leave you speechless in this film, I don't know what will
And much, much more...although nowadays, I find myself speechless with any modern movie that manages to maintain some semblence of an emotional thread throughout a majority of the film.

Hey, welcome Cassoipeia!! Great seeing new posters with great taste! The Best Years of Our Lives was on tv last night. I love this film but I had to turn it off. It's just too moving!!
Again, welcome!!

Posted: 2/23/05 at 3:04pmno film has ever left me speechless. I was thrilled and in a delighted trancelike state from the spectacular film version of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.

I agree that the "Phantom" movie was underrated.
I also forgot "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "The Sixth Sense". Both have truly disturbing and heartbreaking finales.

"but I just remembered Secrets and Lies. Brenda Blethyn...speechless!"
I couldn't agree more. I love that film. Equally amazing was the girl who played Brenda's daughter, Claire Rushbrook. She recently starred in the hilarious BBC comedy series Carrie and Barry. Brilliant actress.

and Donnie Darko, I completely understood it but was literally speechless because I coul not articulate it to my friends who didn't get it.
