Y'all dont understand how happy she was when she saw The Straight Story after watching everything else

The scene where Claire mourns Nate while she's in the car with Ted is one of many great moments in the episode All Alone. It's one of the most breathtaking expressions of grief I've seen in a movie, show or any kind of medium I've ever come across. 

One of the hardest parts of dealing with the death of someone important to you to is the fear that you didn't get to know them as well as you could have. The way Claire speaks about Nate hits on the same kind of pain.

All she can remember about her older brother were the "stupid" fights that she had with him. It's as if Claire was trying to find a way of keeping Nate a stable presence in her life rather than fully accepting that he's gone, even if it meant digging up all the imperfect memories they shared with each other. And to me, that's just all too real. Your relationship with your sibling(s) are hardly ever perfect. You'll share the sweetest and warmest memories with each other, but you'll also have moments where you wanna skin each other alive. But those moments, warts and all, define the kind of love, the special kind of relationship you can only have with your siblings.

And when Claire ponders on those memories with her brother, and asks herself why she can only remember the bad memories she had with him - it hurts. It's an example of grief that feels all too real and just as painful, and you really feel the kind of turmoil that Claire feels for Nate.

But what really got to me the most was when Claire said, "But I like Nate".

When I heard Claire say that, I immediately started crying. It's such a simple thing to say, but she says it with such sincere resignation in her voice. It felt like Claire was talking about someone she only knew for a short amount of time. And sadly, that was the case for her and Nate. They've only begun to have a real, genuine relationship as brother and sister for the four years that Nate moved back in with his family. But this line alone really just sold the tragic distance between Nate and Claire as brother and sister.

And then when Claire went on to talk about how she wanted to interview Nate for being the family member she knew the least, and he said no? Now I'm crying harder than ever before.

This entire scene made me question the place I'm at with the relationship I have with my older sister, and made me think about what kind of person I would be if she were to suddenly pass away or disappear from my life. Then I started to think about how my sister would think about me if I died, and pictured her only thinking about the fights she had with me. It tore me up just thinking about it. I had to pause right at the tail end of this scene because I just couldn't stop crying.

Aside from the heartwrenching dialogue, just the warm, sunny glow coupled with Claire looking out the car window was just so breathtaking and strangely nostalgic to see. And the music. I'm not the biggest fan of Kelly Clarkson, but this is probably the best use of Breakaway of all time. It not only sells the emotional power of this scene, but it perfectly mirrors the point that Claire was at in her story.

It's probably my all-time favorite scene from Six Feet Under.

A recent example I've seen comes from The Straight Story. I watched this film for the first time this past weekend, and it's one of the first times where I realized just how great acting can be through eyes alone. Richard Farnsworth and Sissy Spacek convey so much emotion through their eyes, it speaks of the history that both of their characters have gone through.

On the other hand, Harry Dean Stanton gives such a brief performance as Lyle Straight, but it still manages to be so emotionally powerful. There's this really quiet and tender scene between him and his brother, but the look in his eyes tells everything about the history of their relationship. There's love, regret and remorse over lost time between him and Allen. It's all done with such restraint from HDS, but the emotions he brings still land just as hard.

Road movies just seem to bring out the absolute best from Harry Dean Stanton. Rest in peace to an amazing actor.

For me, the epitome of this will always be the Childs Play/Chucky movies.

The first Childs Play movie made me absolutely terrified of dolls as a kid. I take one look at a Cabbage Patch kid and I expect it to come alive and try to kill me.

But now I rewatch this movie as an adult, and Chucky is just such a fucking lil shithead, man🤣 Watching something that small scream, curse and yell like a real-life grown man is just too much for me to handle😂 Brad Dourif channels so much hatred and venom in his voice when he plays Chucky, its absurd.

A couple years back, my pick would've been Requiem for a Dream or something like that. But I saw A Woman Under the Influence a couple months back, and it genuinely made me sick to my stomach.

This film captures the same kind of emotional pain and sheer panic that comes with watching someone you love dearly collapse in on themselves while you become paralyzed in a way, feeling helpless or powerless to stop it. Combine that with how realistic and deeply personal this film is shot, and it makes for an experience that feels all-too-real and highly distressing.

Think of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but it's your parents fighting.

I've also read somewhere that John Cassavetes' films make you feel like a fly on a wall, or like you stumbled across a situation between two people that you weren't supposed to see. That's probably one of the best ways you can describe this film, and there were many times where I had to like pause or disengage while watching because it was just too real or uncomfortable to watch.

Lastly, Gena Rowlands as Mabel gives one of the most harrowing depictions of mental illness that you'll ever see in any movie. The mannerisms she displays on screen are so raw, so unfiltered, so much so that you start to feel deeply concerned for her the same way you would with a real person suffering from mental illness. Combine that with Peter Falk's equally explosive performance that borders on being scary at times, and you get some of the greatest acting performances of all time.

Feel free to chime in on what your scary non-horror movies are. Joke ones are allowed too👍

This movie ripped my heart out, chewed it up, and spat it back in my face. It's a movie that does everything right, but it's also just not right at all. It's so wrong in the best way possible.

It's not often a movie can get me to laugh out loud, cringe, holler, plead and yell at my TV. Oldboy does all of this plus more.

I don't want it. But I do want it. I want to watch it a hundred times over until I'm six feet deep.

Good movie.

Let me know which ones are your favorite of any films that fit the criteria and aren't on here

I just watched Office Space last night and it's like the perfect movie to watch on a Monday night!

Also Moonstruck is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorites. The scene where the old man and the dogs howl at the moon is the greatest scene of all time

Daveigh Chase's performance as Chihiro is the main reason why the English Dub of Spirited Away is the only dub of any Studio Ghibl film I'll ever watch. She embodies that impulsive, antsy, naive, ENDEARING and emotionally restless nature that's found within any kid. It's not often you see kids in movies act like how kids normally would act in real life. Daveigh Chase embodied that sort of thing with Chihiro, and the fact that this kind of authenticity comes from an animated character is what makes Spirited Away such a special film.

Seeing Daveigh now, especially with the context of her passing earlier this year, was enough to make me shed tears at just the sight of her. For what it's worth, I firmly believe that she gave one of the greatest child performances of all time with Chihiro, and to accomplish that feat at such a young age is just astounding to me.

All I can say is that I wish her friends and family all the best. I hope they realize just how much her voice and her presence meant to so many people throughout their childhoods, including mine.

Rest in peace, Daveigh Chase.❤️🕊️

Not only are the scenes with Godzilla great, especially with all the practical effects and camera editing tricks they used to convey Godzilla's size, but the human drama is just as gripping too! Dr. Serizawa's invention of the oxygen destroyer is obviously the highlight of the human drama that goes on in the film, and it paints such a vivid scenario of how a WOMD could be used to stop something born from the effects of nuclear warfare.

Seeing Takashi Shimura was also a nice surprise too! I've been watching a lot of Kurosawa flicks, and seeing him here just shows the kind of range he has as an actor. He plays a sad, frail old man very well in Ikiru, and he plays the scientist role pretty great as well in Godzilla!

Also, this is probably my favorite shot not only of Godzilla, but it's also one of my favorite shots of any movie I've seen this year. Seeing Godzilla essentially in a bird cage tells you everything you need to know about the character; at his core, he's an animal created and doomed in circumstances created by man.

There's also something a little scary about seeing Godzilla in black and white. He's got these weird bug-eye look in some scenes throughout the film, but on top of that, the lack of detail and high contrast lighting on Godzilla fuels imagination within the viewer, especially when he's rampaging through Tokyo at night.

Lastly, I must say, that opneing crawl sets the tone of the film tremendously well. Just the sound of booming footsteps, coupled with that iconic and Godzilla's classic roar must've been terrifying to witness in theaters in 1954 Japan.

It's not even the best joke in the video, but his reaction is just so genuine and I just die laughing every time I see it😂

Full stop, this movie if absolutely incredible.

It touches on life, death and mortality in the same messy, raw and honest way that makes Six Feet Under such an emotionally powerful show.

If you like the brief little musical numbers from Claire or David that take place throughout the show, or if you're a fan of Lauren Ambrose's work on Broadway, then you'll definitely enjoy this film.

The camera work and the dance choreography are absolutely breathtaking, and they push this film beyond being just a song-and-dance flick. It's a showbiz movie disguised as a celebration of life and the human body and how it can create something organic and beautiful through form, shape, rhythm and unity.

Roy Scheider's character, Joe Gideon, much like Nate and David Fisher, is an incredibly flawed human being.

He's a full-on workaholic who dedicates himself to his craft as a choreographer, much like how David dedicates himself to the routine of being a funeral director.

And much like Nate, Joe is also selfish, self-destructive and sabotages his relationships. But Scheider takes such a deeply flawed character and injects so much life, warmth and charisma into him, and it makes his story so much more compelling to watch.

I honestly see so much of Nate Fisher in Joe Gideon. Through his worst impulses, we see a person who constantly grapples with death, and his desire to leave a long-lasting mark on the rest of the world before he passes on is something that nearly everybody can relate to.

And the film does an amazing job with showing just how much of an impact Joe has on the people in his orbit. His dancers look up to him, he has a daughter who wants nothing more than to practice dance routines with him. It makes for a film that is just about as warm and lively as it is emotionally devastating.

And just like Six Feet Under's ending, All That Jazz's ending is fucking incredible. I didn't know whether to cry or to be awe-inspired by what I was watching.

Overall, if you want an experience that matches the emotional power of Six Feet Under and its finale, but you also don't wanna blow through another show for weeks at a time, then give All That Jazz a watch because it is an amazing movie all-around.

Rasputin Records in Berkeley, California has one of the best TV show sections I have seen in a very long time. They're section on Six Feet Under is glorious.
