Some movies can leave us speechless and stunned after the credits roll. This can be due to a surprising plot twist, a highly emotional ending, or simply because the film was so well-made that it left us feeling awestruck. Someone recently asked, “What movie had you sitting in silence for 10 minutes after watching it?” Here are the top 21 responses:
Saving Private Ryan
“As people got up and left, it stayed quiet, and nobody said a word.”
“My wife commented on the way out that it was like leaving a funeral.”
The Green Mile
“I was sitting in silence for hours after that movie.”
“Reading the books as they were released was like this. I had to stop and do nothing for a bit before I could go on. Or reading through tears.”
Grave of The Fireflies
“One of two movies that were good, but I’ll never watch again because of the emotional trauma. The other one is Se7en.”
“I was depressed for days after watching this. And yeah, when I finished it, I literally turned the tv off and just sat there crying for a couple of minutes. I didn’t know what to do.”
Schindler’s List
“The survivors placing stones on his headstone. Goosebumps and tears just thinking of the scene.”
“That’s the only movie I’ve ever seen in a theater where people didn’t stand up as soon as the credits started rolling. We all sat silent for several minutes.”
The Pianist
“My wife and I watched this when we were home during early COVID. We are both very sarcastic and hard to upset. But after we watched this movie, we both sat on the couch for about 10 minutes just holding hands, not speaking.”
“Great movie and left me speechless for a few minutes at the end.”
Children of Men
“I had no idea what to expect from the movie and was only looking for something to fill time while out of town on a business trip. I saw a movie theater within walking distance from my hotel and went there. I was stunned. I recommended the movie to anyone who was willing to hear me talk about it.”
“That movie is up there on my list of most depressing movies of all time.”
City of God
“This also broke my heart and just did a number on me well after the film ended. It was one of those movies I was glad to have seen but wished I hadn’t.”
“I really wanna watch the sequel, but need to wait until I’m in the right frame of mind.”
Ex Machina
“I was quiet because I couldn’t believe how dumb the dude was.”
“There were a few I might place ahead of it, but the ending had me completely gobsmacked, rehashing how the final scenes went down.”
Requiem For A Dream
“It’s the best movie I never want to watch again.”
“I had to put on Surf’s Up to feel happy again.”
Full Metal Jacket
“My then fiance and I also saw it in the theater then, and afterward sat in the car and cried.”
Blair Witch Project
“I was young at the time and believed all the marketing hype that it was “found footage”. My friend and I just sat there in silence afterward…”
“Saw it on opening night. About 75% of us thought it was the real deal. You had to be there.”
Saw
“Those last few minutes were wild.”
“I will hold out that the original Saw was the best one to date because of the ending.”
Once Were Warriors
“It was so emotional my partner couldn’t talk to each other for about a half hour after.”
“It’s too powerful a film to casually watch…you have to consciously decide you are going to do it. I’ve backed out many times.”
Promising Young Woman
“I was so filled with rage and despair and realized I really needed to talk to someone about the film but at the same time couldn’t recommend it to just anyone to watch it.”
Midsommar
“It was probably the strangest movie I’ve ever watched, and there was so much to process all just thrown in one big lump.”
“Midsommar made me physically ill. Never had that response to a movie before or since.”
Memento
“I sat in silence for 10 minutes before the movie!”
“That twist came out of nowhere, though I guess you can’t exactly foreshadow it.”
No Country for Old Men
“How dare they end it like that? Brilliant and yet, frustrating.”
“I still find myself wondering about the fate of Anton.”
Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind
“That movie caused both a divorce and a relationship among my friends.”
“I started sobbing from their last memory in Montauk to the looping ending because I didn’t want it to end. I was a mess. My favorite movie ever.”
Parasite
“Parasite made me silent after the movie ended, silent with no radio playing on the drive home, silent when I went to bed, and silent when I woke up. That’s not hyperbole.”
“My husband and I spent the initial 10 minutes in silence afterward and then the next 2 hours talking about it.”
The Prestige
“That’s a movie that I could only watch once. The trick was so incredibly dark. I don’t know why it bothers me so much, but I get so down when I think about the ending of the movie.”
Logan
“When the screen faded to black, and you saw Logan. The whole theater was quiet except for a few people sobbing.”
“I cried for the whole movie in the theater. I still haven’t watched it again.”
