Movies that make you feel empty inside

I completely relate to this. I read the book about a year ago and when I finished it I just felt really terrible, i think I had an anxiety attack or something, it was like I had known all these people and lived in that world and then when I finished reading it was like they were dead, they would never do or say anything again and they were gone and I just don't know how to deal with that.

Stand By Me (My all time favourite movie)

Never Let Me Go

Seeking a Friend for the end of the World

Before Sunrise

The Truman Show

American Beauty

Oh man this movie is a masterpiece... Really touches me......... Emma Watson is hot by the way.

A very cool movie and really touches my life when i was younger.

no one mentioned "The Virgin Suicides" (1999)

Of all the films, it's probably the closest in terms of theme and emotional response

Woman: "Can we watch something else?"
Man: "No, I want to see how this ends."

I have never felt lonely, for I've had some dark times in my earlier years when I had nobody and simply got used to it. While I was watching this wonderful movie, however, I felt more lonely than I have in my whole life.
I've never felt infinite. I've never had the relationships Charlie made. And frankly, what made me feel even worse is not the fact that I'm not more like Charlie but the fact that I will never be. I know that because I'm aware of myself and knowing that I, myself, am the main reason for the lack of happiness in my own life... it's just really, really sad. This movie just happened to make me realize it and now it carries the burden.

And of course, as many of you mentioned above, I felt empty too. I don't think we can talk about suggestions here thought because I believe it's highly individual when it comes to movies (or whatever in fact) that touch our soul. For me, Pride & Prejudice did and I guess the common between those two was that they had something I never will - this made me live the story with the characters more than any other movie or book did because I would never be able to live it myself.

you were made to be ruled. in the end, you will always kneel.

Hey. I just checked your profile and noticed that you watched Arrested Development. I just wanted to ask you if you felt the same way as you did after watching Perks when you finished the final season of Arrested Development.

I did the same thing. I, literally, felt like I was wandering aimlessly for a few days after watching this movie.

For me, it made me think back to my younger days and how much I, seemingly, wasted them. I did not form the deeper friendships, or get out and enjoy the world. I chose to spend my time pretty much doing nothing with my life. The lack of ambition and the long-lasting consequences of my laziness were heavy on my mind after watching this.

Watching these characters lift each other up, all while constantly reaffirming who they were within themeselves is something I felt a bit foreign to and it saddened me. I spent almost all of the next week revisiting the direction my life has taken and reevaluating what parts of it I am truly satisfied with.

The non-conformity was another part for me. I spent my life aspiring to fit in with the mainstream crowd, while always knowing it wasn't a good fit for my personality. The way these characters went about being proud of their individuality and surrounded themselves with people who weren't necessarily the same as them, but didn't hinder any form of self expression was inspiring.

Many of the movies I found to be similar to this have already been mentioned. One of the best IMDB posts I have read (read the entire string). Reading these posts actually got me to register, just so I could put in my two cents.
