Just thought of the ultimate "Makes you cry" movie:

Edward Scissorhands.

(For extra points, it's Price's last ever movie).

Also, The Crow.

(Made ever the more Cryful by Lee's death while filming).

R.I.P to the two actors mentioned above.

:huh:  wow.. that's a lot...  :)

I have only had two movies that have moved me... one from the time i was little until now:

Independance Day

And the other one, my youth pastor put on during our first(and hopefully not last) movie night before he left on deputation.  It was about an evangelist(?) who traveled and preached to anyone he came into contact with. I wish i could explain this better.. but that is how i remember it. It might be an old movie, but it is a great one:

Sheffy

That wouldn't be 'The Apostle' would it? ( With Robert Duvall) I liked that movie too. He went on doing the work of the kingdom dispite his downfalls and sins. I especially liked the scene with the guy in the bulldozer, that brought me to many tears.

The movie that has really moved me is my all time favourite movie, The Shawshank Redemption.

I love the message of hope it gives out... a 'no matter how bad it gets, there is always hope' situation!

It's also brilliantly acted (Morgan Freeman is one of my all time favourite actors) and is just a brilliantly written and (in my humble opinion) very moving film.

The Passion Of The Christ most moved me...it is the story of our Lord after all !!!

However, a secular movie that also moves me is "Pay It Forward" this makes me cry...that such a young boy could create change in the world and believe in his vission so much that he dies for it !!! This makes me cry !!! :huh::)

Not including some of the ones already listed...

Joseph (Ben Kingsley, Paul Mercurio, Martin Landau) - the scene at the end where Joseph is reconciled to his brothers is utterly astounding... gives you a great view of how we fall at the feet of Christ and He takes us (His brothers) back even after what we've done to Him

Luther (Joseph Fiennes) - recent movie about Martin Luther and the protestant reformation in the 16th century

Peter and Paul (Anthony Hopkins does a wonderful job as Paul)

Wasn't the ending...um...something? My husband and I had a lot to say all throughout the film and then when the ending came we were just speechless... We both sat there staring at the TV (saw it on DVD) for what seemed like forever...

We just have it so easy today.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
