I have been roaming Lindaland for a few days now and I have noticed names of certain movies that pop in a lot of intense conversations abt love and relationships. I thought it might be a good idea to make a list of movies that most people here find deeply impactful and those which you think might help people in distress or just help someone find answers at a difficult time -
1. The Butterfly Affect
2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
3. Wicker ParkPlease feel free to share your opinions on these movies and add to the list! Cheers IP: Logged |

I absolutely LOVE Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind and unfortunately it's the only movie I've seen from both lists... But after I saw the movie, I stayed up until 2 because I was so high off the movie... I highly identified with BOTH characters... I think the message was beautiful and painful because while we'd like to forget our most painful memories, we really NEED to remember otherwise, like Kirsten Dunst's character, we end up making the same mistake... It made my own failed relationship seem like a small triumph. It gave me confidence that I won't make the same stupid mistakes anymore... I LOVE IT!!!IP: Logged |

maya-v, I haven't seen any of those movies, so I can't comment on them. I would like to see ES though, it seems to be getting a lot of great nods. High Fidelity
Playing by Heart
Best Laid Plans
Pleasantville Those ones always seem to pull me out of/into a funk that must be dealt with.  Ghani IP: Logged |

Just relationship-love movies, eh? I'll try to limit myself... 
I love "Hi Fidelity," btw. And ES...Truly Madly Deeply
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
About A Boy
Finding Neverland
The Princess Bride
The Color Purple (love trumps all; I cry ever time)
The Station Agent (not romantic, but love and relationships none the less) I'll think of more... Fun topic.

I would soooo suggest seeing Eternal Sunshine... Maybe it's just me because I like quirky movies but it was sooo sweet and sad and wonderful all rolled into one... And oddly hopeful in a weird way...IP: Logged |

OH!! I just remembered another one that always effects me deeply for days after watching it.... Powder. It is so beautiful and emotionally heartwrenching, yet spiritual and thought provoking... it makes me cry rivers each time I watch it. Ghani IP: Logged |
