Seen it beginning to end twice and it's just an incredible film. And I have no desire to watch it again; just a heart-breaker all around.

Glory is my No. 2 favorite movie of all time, right behind Casablanca. That ending.... ****. I've never seen another movie in the theater that absolutely blew me away like that. I remember walking out to the car in a daze.

I'm not sure what alternate universe I grew up in, but in said universe they showed us that movie at school when I was in 4th or 5th grade. I cannot imagine kids seeing that in elementary school these days. I remember thinking "woah" and then not watching it again until my mid 20s because it was just damn heavy. I figured I'd see if time changed it or me.

Nooooope. Still as incredible and gut-wrenching as I remembered it being.

Just the damn soundtrack will get to you.



I'm all about recognizing its greatness but that movie's just a rough one.

4th or 5th grade? Damn. I can see why it ****ed you up so much. It messed me up and I would have been 24 when it came out.

Not as gut wrenching as Glory, I'm sure, but we were shown Shenandoah in sixth grade.I should mention that this was in Virginia where I was born. Among the many impactful scenes from that movie I also remember glancing back at the projector and seeing my teacher holding her head in her hands with tears streaming down her face. Give it a try if you haven't seen it.
