When was the last time you truly loved a movie?

That's not an opinion. That's a fact.

Schindler's List would probably be the last movie I truly loved.

It was the only film that made me feel sorry that so many Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, ect, were exterminated rather than laugh at how funny it was.

You needed a movie to tell you to not laugh at genocide? Are you f_cking retarded?

I think you've misunderstood me.

I'm not trying to say that genocide is good thing, as I'm sure you and everyone else know. Schindler's List was the only movie that I've seen so far that depicted the genocide in a way that made me cringe rather than turn to my friends and laugh.

Call me evil and a retard all you want. Many people try to humorize things that are tragic to them, and I'm one of them.

Trust me, you're talking to a king of dark humor right here, but don't even try to scapegoat laughing at the holocaust as a defense mechanism against something that was 'tragic to you'. That's bull**** and you know it.

I'm not going out of my way to be a dick, I just call bull**** when I see it.

And out of curiousity, what movies did make you laugh?

I've answered your question already--Schindler's List was the only one that didn't. But if you won't accept that, Life Is Beautiful made me laugh.

Human Traffic- its really quite lame but i love all the characters (esp Jip). i think i am the only one out of my friends that loves it!! when you look past all the drug culture (if you even wanted to) the story is line is quite profound and involving...

Instinct, in 1999. I've seen some real good stuff in theaters since, but nothing that grabbed ahold of me and made me think something like, "wow, I LOVED that!"

The absolute last time I was totally blown away at the theatre was when I saw Greenaway's The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. I saw it at a now sadly defunct little arthouse theater in New Haven Ct. I can't possibly describe the feeling of being absolutely sucked into the film, both disgusted beyond belief and in awe of the beauty of the images that seemed to spill forth like wet paint on an artists canvas.

NO filmgoing experience has EVER effected me as much, and I doubt one ever will.

It was like seeing god and having the longest most intense orgasm while having some evil looking guy pulling out your guts and laughing at you! And that was a poor metaphor in comparison to the actual experience.

Oh, I LOVE that movie

I hate to tell you this but comedians do this ALL the time. Yes its more on a personal basis but its still the same thing.

The Holocaust, Slavery, near genocide in Cambodia and Rwanda, atrocities all no doubt but they are also sacred cows that are ripe for slaying. Mel Brooks has managed to make light of the Holocaust a number of times (Springtime for Hitler anyone?) Having respect for a devastating human tragedy, acknowledging evil at its most heinous, and comedy are NOT mutually exclusive. Being able to laugh at a tragedy, look it in the face and tell it it has no power over you is part of moving on, without forgetting, otherwise human tragedy becomes a totem without meaning, a event without understanding.

I agree that tasteless humor directed at a certain race, event or tragedy WITHOUT respect for that group or event does nothing, but I would rather laugh and cry in the face of tragedy then cry alone.

Oh, I agree entirely. The thing was, I just didn't get that coming from that guy. He came off as the type of person who would say he laughed at such movies just to be counter-culture and say that he laughed at them.

I did rip into him pretty harshly though and I may have turned him off the forums because I don't think he's been back since. But oh well, guess I'm just a bully.

Blimey.
