The Soloist
Hero
Excalibur (1981). When Arthur and his knights in shiny armour ride in the blooming apple tree orchard. I became transfixed.

Carmen (1984). The opening sequence is very long. It shows villagers working. Men and women are going about their daily routine. Lots of camera interesting movement. Then Plácido Domingo (I did not know who he was) comes into frame and starts singing opera. I started laughing very loudly, uncontrollably and had to walk out of the theatre. I had no idea it was going to be that kind of movie.

The Road (2009). It took me a week to stop having flashbacks. Great movie, but really sad and dark. The ending offers a glimmer of hope.

Raising Arizona. I literally fell out of my chair and rolled around on the floor laughing until I was in great pain watching Nic Cage chase crawling babies.
And yeah, Saving Private Ryan's opening hurt my face. Seriously, I think my jaw was so tight when the scene was over that it hurt for days.
I worked at a theatre when the Matrix was playing, and we could tell from the popcorn stand when the helicopter crashed because the sound of it shook the whole building like an earthquake. It was awesome.

I think the biggest one was the starting scroll text on Episode I. After so many years, the vibe in the theater was electric. We had no idea that the movie would be meh, but at that opening scroll? It was pretty wild.

I watched it with the same GF I saw the Village with. It was terrible, one of those WTF did I just watch moments. My visceral reaction was I want my money back. Every movie she picked was not good.

The book is the single most traumatizing work of art I’ve ever experienced. My son was 3 and had just been diagnosed with autism when I read it, and it was overwhelmingly emotional. I had to invent a detailed alternate ending, which for me is canon, to cope with it.
So I will never watch the movie.
