Hello film lovers!

Wrinkles

"It’s funny, it’s sad, it’s sweet, it’s heartbreaking. It’s brilliant."
Peter Bradshaw

Voiced by Hollywood royalty Martin Sheen, this moving animation demands to be seen, and is a talking point for all ages. Based on the award winning graphic novel by Paco Roca, Wrinkles is a heartwarming story of friendship that will bring tears of sadness and joy in equal measure. A beautifully crafted piece of cinema that takes an honest and touching view of a subject that resonates throughout today’s society.

Key talent:

Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now; The Departed; Catch Me If You Can)

Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket; The Dark Knight Rises; Transporter 2)

George Coe (Kramer Vs. Kramer; The Entity)

Synopsis:

Wrinkles portrays the friendship between Emilio and Miguel, two aged gentlemen shut away in a care home. Recent arrival Emilio, in the early stages of Alzheimer, is helped by Miguel and colleagues to avoid ending up on the feared top floor of the care home, also known as the lost causes or assisted floor. Their wild plan infuses their otherwise tedious day-to-day routines with humour and tenderness, because although some of their lives are coming to an end, for them it is just beginning.

The ending of About Schmidt (with the letter from the Orphan) gets me every time - the overall tone of the film is so incredibly bleak and downbeat that, when the small moment of salvation arrives at the end, it's really powerful and effective. In my opinion, 'About Schmidt' is a perfectly-pitched black comedy and a top 5 film for me but the ending is a real sucker-punch.

It has been many year since i have seen thisbut it has always stuck in my mind. A very moving film with fantastic performances from Robert DeNiro and Robbin Williams. Watching DeNiros decline when the drugs stop working for his illness is so heartbreaking i had a lump in my throat for the whole way through the film.

[Daemonia]

I'd also mention Awakenings, an incredibly moving film. The scene where De Niro dances with the girl, knowing he's about to slip back into his sleeping sickness at any moment, is heart breaking.

But one of the most powerful and moving films I think I've ever seen is Lorenzo's Oil. When the parents (Nolte and Sarandon) first discover their son's illness and we see their devastation it is truly heart wrenching to watch and almost brings a tear to my eye. Not much moves me to tears, I'm afraid. Although I am a big softy, I'm not given to bouts of crying.

[Sam]

Here's an unlikely candidate ... The New York Ripper!! Whilst it's never quite reduced me to an emotional wreck, the closing scene, when the sickly girl is crying out for her dad, is really upsetting and a fitting end to a pretty nihilistic film.

The Green Mile-I don't know anybody that doesn't get a lump in their throat at the end

[bedorca]

No one has mentioned E.T.

That squidgy little lump still gets me today

[Rik]

Toy Story 3 too, I was almost in tears at the end, resulting in my kids telling me to "man up" in the cinema

[Nordicdusk]

I dont think i have to explain this one.
