Forest Gump has been voted the most emotional movie of all time! Movie-goers were asked to pick the film that took them on the greatest emotional roller-coaster of emotion - joy, sadness, fear, disgust and anger.
The listeners of The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show waded in on their views about emotional films - and now we want to go home and order all of these films! Have a read:
Morning Ian. Myself and my wife went to the cinema to see the movie "7 Pounds". My god. My wife was a bumbling mess for the full film. To a point where after the film out at the car I was getting dirty looks off people cause my wife was still so upset. Good film though.
Ian; anyone who doesn't shed a tear at the end of E.T. is either an emotional cripple or soul-dead! Dave (Mid-50s), Clondalkin.
Ian it has to be It’s A Wonderful Life – it’s got everything! Angelo, Buncrana
Hi Mark Crosbie here - Bigfoot and the Hendersons! Sobbed my eyes out at the end
The Champ - it even made my father cry
One of the most surprising emotional films is Click with Adam Sander! Literally couldn't handle the ending - a lot of hidden meanings!
Emotional movies- at the end of Elf when they all have to sing Santa Clause is coming to town to help Santa's sleigh to fly - I roar every time- ROAR I tell you!! Carmel in Waterford
Ian, movie called About Time with Bill Nighy and Domnhall Glesson, killer
The Wind That Shakes the Barley - very emotional! Also the new Amy Winehouse movie...such talent, yet such a sad outcome.
Has to be Million Dollar Baby just as Clint Easywood injects a fatal dose of adrenaline after telling Hillary Swank the meaning of Mo Cuishle, my darling - Sean Graham Clane
E.T. and Wall-E Ian, not easy to make fellas like me weepy. Tom in cork
Hi Ian, a movie that should be up there with numerous emotions is the Shawshank Redemption.
