What is the most exhilarating movie ever made?
 

What ONE film excited you the most?
What made your heart rate go up?
What film made you think "This Is Cinema!"?
Your adrenaline explode?
Your mouth open wide?
Your ears throb.
What film made your eyes feel funny because you couldn't take them off the screen?
What film made you so excited that you told everyone about it as soon as you possibly could?

Lost and Found starring David Spade.

Just kidding. It's nice to see a thread like this since I find that "boring" thread really depressing.

But seriously, I've got three letters for you (or is it one?): RRR.

Difficult question, but here's my current answer:

Parasite
The Toxic Avenger (still my go to so-bad-it's-good film)
The Wild Bunch

Three Billboards...
The Purge
These both had me on the edge of my seat.

I can't post it here. It's too profane and Yoda would ban me. :lol:
操他妈的电影 aka F*ck Cinema, I guess.
James Benning's Ten Skies.
Any film with Joey Wong but only in scenes she's on the screen.
My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?

None. If it really made me so excited, I have to keep it a secret from everyone.

I'll let you all know when one of you post a movie that I found exhilarating. So far that ain't happened.

Wait! I thought of one Jaws. When I seen that first run at the theaters it was exciting, heart pounding.

Doesn't hold a candle to the one with Michael Cain.

It's subjective and it's hard to know which of the movies I like is exhilarating. I guess the one movie that comes to mind that makes me happy is There's Something About Mary.

What if it is the viewer who is exhilarating

The TAMI Show

I liked that one, underrated for sure.

The movies that make my pulse increase the most are action thrillers where characters do the wrong things in a pinch of danger. Don't do that! You know what I mean? Intense high stakes and the monster is around the corner, dumbass says hey lets go in there.

A couple of Coens, a few from Spielberg and a couple more from Lumet.

There's no such thing as exhilarating movies, only exhilarating people!

;)

I'll second Parasite...that film left me limp.

It's always difficult to separate the overall movie experience from the movie itself.

I'm sure many people have had a bad time at a great movie due to whatever variables of reality were occurring... such as how you felt physically, emotionally or mentally, who you were with, what the rest of the audience was like, etc. The personal experience (if negative) may forever influence the way one views the film.

Conversely, a great time at the theater (or in front of a screen) may make even a mediocre film seem great to the memory.

I've talked about the first time I saw Star Trek The Motion Picture (1979) which by far has its detractors.

For me it was the first movie I ever went to see with a friend without an adult chaperone on a weekend night just before the holidays (that fact itself set the evening off as one of freewheeling independence & excitement). We were going to see a film created from a TV series (which, at the time, was virtually unprecedented). We were going to see a big budget, sci-fi film with special effects on the big screen! And we were seeing the reunion of the original crew which defied the odds since the TV show had initially been a cancelled, old series, but was now resuscitated, at first by fan letters, and ultimately given new life in motion pictures (another unprecedented factor which added to the whole experience being an almost "historical" event no matter how good or bad the movie turned out to be)!

Although the film may not have been as exciting as I felt it was the first time I saw it, the excitement I felt at that time got attached to my memory of the movie - which is why it's in my list of favorites even after I've read the opinions of others about how "dull," "dreary," and "painfully drawn out" it was. And when I see it again, it brings back memories & feelings of youth and good times.

So, in the end, I'll say one of the most exhilarating movies ever made (to me anyway) is Die Hard! ;)
