I'd have to say Letters From Iwa Jima relly left an impression on me. There is so little about the Japanese perspective during world war 2. So it's really something else when you get to see a movie such as this that shows them as human beings with the same problems and stuggles as the peaple there fighting against. Big kudos to Clint Eastwood for making that film.
It's a Wonderful Life and Pollyanna would be mine. I know that's two but both really show that there is really no way for us to see the significance of our lives on others. So often we just go about our day not realizing that each act, big or small, is effecting someone in some way.

American History X. This would be my favorite. It taught me alot about controling hate in general and how rage can poison your life. To the point where you miss what your living for.

Somewhere In Time because most of us would like to have a chance to return to or to find that one perfect love. The music was wonderful also.

The Color Purple: I cry every time the sisters reunite in the field of purple flowers.
To Kill a Mockingbird: I saw it when I was a child, before I read the book, and it made a huge impression on me.
Saving Private Ryan: I came out of this movie with a new respect for what our men do in this world.
As Good As It Gets: So many wounded characters, connecting in unexpected ways.
Rocky: Totally played my emotions, and I loved it!

Cinema Paradiso and Il Postino are the only films that ever brought tears to my eye...go see 'em yourself and you'll find out why.
Italian cinema just seems more poignant than US films.Two excellent films. I prefer European movies, especially French films.
Films that have most moved me have been 'Platoon', 'Schindler's List' and 'Midnight Express'. But also 'It's a Wonderful Life' is still magic decades later.

Here's my never ending list
Monster
The Departed - Amazing direction.. fast going movie.
Love song for Bobby Long - Loved the overall theme of the movie
Death Proof - I'm just amazed how Quentin Tarantino manages to get a hold on you throughout the movie. I like the whole vintage theme he added in the movie
The Beach - One thing about Danny Boyle, he makes you chase your wildest dreams..he'll make you soar so high and then will bring you back to reality in a wisely subtle and harmless manner.
Trainspotting - Same goes for this one also!
Spun - Mickey Rookie rocked it!!!
Before Sunrise & Before Sunset - both of these movies affected me in more than one ways.. If feel so connected to both these flicks. There is so much reality in the movie, it shows you how extraordinary things can happen in the most ordinary days and how tiny little incidents can change you and your life forever!
2 Days in Paris
The Wrestler
The Fountain: A visual and spiritual treat!The Titanic. I cry everytime when it gets to the part where the water started to rise in the ship, and people were trying to escape, but only the women could get on the boats that dropped down into the ocean. Another sad part was how so many that was in the water froze to death.

The most touching movie I have ever seen would have to be:
"Passion of The Christ"
This movie was more than touching, perhaps. It was heart wrenching and seemed as though I were there when they crucified Jesus. He did it "Just For Me".

Would you recommend it?
For me it would have to be Into The Wild. The true story of a young man who left everything behind to live his life alone in Alaska. Very very moving, great soundtrack and just makes us remember that life is what you make it or want it to be.I would have to say Power of One. It was a moving film about a british kid growing up in South Africa during WWII. Awesome! Morgan Freeman stars in it!

Dune. I like the storyline of a young man, troubled with his environment, finally finding a path from which he eventually becomes trapped by it. His true liberation and answer from his plight resides not in his own life but rather in his son's.
A perfect evening for me is to sit down on the couch with a mug of cocoa and enjoying a night of Dune.- 86

recently saw the documentary "O My God" which was very moving and thought provoking but it still did not move me as much as "Its a Wonderful World" with Jimmy Stewart it always makes me cry like a baby - it has every good thing and represents Americans at their best!

Power of One..is certainly the movie that has moved me most.
Of recent films, Into the Wild is powerful and the soundtrack is amazing, best stuff of eddie vedder's career in my opinion
have to give a nod to american history x and gran torino, both movies that enraged me, eastwood singing the final song in torino is a very bittersweet experience for me
