Control 757 Posted January 28, 2017 The fact that John Hurt narrates DOGVILLE is probably the sole reason I'll end up watching it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roman 2,741 Posted January 28, 2017 Don't forget that wonderfully cute animated movie for the whole family, Watership Down, which my father rented from the library for five-year-old me because he thought it was a Disney movie about cute, fluffy bunnies. THANKS, DAD! It wasn't the English version, so I was deprived of John Hurt's voice, but I'll be fucked if I'll see that movie again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better than any of that Disney bollocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curt McGirt 8,157 Posted January 29, 2017 I've never watched The Elephant Man, and after seeing the clip that J.T. posted I won't be able to. I'm comfortable with a level of deep, deep depression and sadness in films but that takes the cake. That should be an Empathy Litmus Test. If you watch it and don't cry, you should be shot in the head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roman 2,741 Posted January 29, 2017 If you're not empathetic, empathetic people should shoot you? Empathetic people need to be more empathetic. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just man up and watch it and accept the fact that you will be a blubbering mess when the end credits roll. I went to see it with my mom when I was a kid and we had to go out for ice cream to cheer ourselves up. It is THAT moving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mom watches TCM all the time and really like Robert as host. I know they have the youngerish guy there who's good, but he's not Robert. Didn't realize he was that old, to me he seemed to be at most in his early 70s. RIP, Robert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
