About two hours ago now. I'm a teacher and my Principal gave me as much time off as I need.
Please recommend me movies to watch during my bereavement period. Any genre. Mainstream or obscure. I've been saving the Lord of the Rings trilogy for this day.

Beau is Afraid
I'm sorry anon. Both my parents passed within a year and a half in my late 20s. Cataclysmic shift in your life.
Annihilation is about grief changing a person.
Both have really shitty moms but are both kino, especially Beau Is Afraid
The first two Guardians of the Galaxy are about parents if you don't hate capeshit
>I'm sorry anon. Both my parents passed within a year and a half in my late 20s. Cataclysmic shift in your life.
A few years ago when I was 19 my dad had a massive heart attack which he survived with no permanent damage and I didn't appreciate it at the time but I realised later if he died that day it would have absolutely destroyed me I don't think I would have recovered from it then. Especially because it was so sudden. All you can do is resolve to get your shit together enough so when the day comes your life doesn't end too. Have I done that yet? No but uhhh frick it's a good goal
Sorry for your loss. It terrifies me
Been there a couple years ago, bro. My grandma (her mom) just died a couple weeks ago. Now only my dickhead dad is left. As for movies I am too tired to think of any and was heading to bed, but sorry, anon. I know it's rough.
>my dickhead dad
I'm guessing your single mom demonized him to you as a kid. Sorry you fell for foid propaganda buddy, hopefully you'll overcome it soon
Can you fathom realities outside of your own?
I'm going to be inconsolable when mom goes.
Forrest Gump.
Our Idiot Brother
When Harry Met Sally
Monsters

You're an butthole, anon.

Fullmetal Alchemist
THUNDER ROAD
The Boy and the Heron.
This. Just watched it and it depicts an accurate child trying to cope with the pain.
My condolences, anon. I get very emotional with Interestellar, so I'll recommend that
Wish my mom would finally die.
sorry to hear that
The boy and the heron
Kung Pow enter the fist
Debut film written and directed by Academy Award-nominated auteur David O. Russell
I’m sure I’ll get flak for this but watch Neon Genesis. First the show, then End of Evangelion, then the Rebuild series. It’ll make you feel like shit, but you’ll come to terms with a lot of things. Better to bite those emotional bullets sooner rather than later, or worse, never

Get off the internet and be with your family. Please.
Hesher (2010). Don't look up a synopsis, don't watch a trailer. Just watch it fresh. I'm not fricking with you or making a joke.
This was a great movie
Surprised Rainn Wilson could act.
My condolences, anon. I can only imagine how fricking awful it must feel. I hope you can celebrate her soon and remember good times.
To get your mind off it, I unironically recommend Hong Kong martial arts movies. Theatrical acting, goofy humour, and kino fights. Turn your brain off stuff that's colourful, usually well made, and fun to look at. Here's some of my personal master list. All of these are available to torrent, you will have a hell of a time finding them most other ways. You can find some on youtube as well.
>A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)
>horror comedy romance martial arts film impossible not to be entertained by
>New Dragon Gate Inn (1992)
>remake of a 60s movie by kino master tsui hark, very dynamic and fun, god tier ending fight
>Buddha's Palm (1982)
>exhausting mystic kung fu bullshit paced like a panic attack >yfw dameng will be dameng
>Dreadnaught (1981)
>bizarre mix of psychological horror with kung fu in classical china, go figure
Bloody Spear at Mt Fuji. It sounds like it'd be a hyper violent samurai movie but it's not. Most of it is a road trip, partial comedy, and has themes of truth, duty, and found family.
Not op but you're based, adding these to my watchlist
>Not op but you're based, adding these to my watchlist
Glad to be of service fellow martial arts chad
Whats it feel like?
all the pretty horses
Airplane
Any Adam Sandler
Anything with Chris Farley
80s classics like Stripes, Caddyshack, etc.

Anchorman 1 and 2

Good recs here. Stick to things simple and lighthearted.
yep
>hopping onto Cinemaphile/interwebs of all places for comfort as soon as mother kicks bucket

Guy's probably stuck unable to do much of anything and looking for a diversion, come on man
I don't believe this thread is legit, it's some freak trying to vampire empathy for some reason. I think he's already made these same threads before too.
Bit schizo
You're free to look at my more detailed thread on /LULZ/
>"Parents of grown men don't die all the time no! It's all just one guy trying to garner sympathy!"
Not to say it's impossible everyone is literally anonymous, but chances are someone reading the thread has had a close relative die recently. So the recs are still cool.

Rip in peace. I'm sorry anon.
The Dark Crystal.
Especially if you're feeling the need for comfy fantasy
i watched stardust last night it was pretty awesome
if i was in a bad mood i wouldnt feel very receptive to feel good movies
maybe check out "i saw the devil" pretty great movie and dark
Arrival. It deals with similar grief. Otherwise Dune.
Watch North Of Normal, starring Sarah Gadon.
Interstellar. It's the only sci fi movie my mom likes and she doesnt even get it.
She also like Tyler Perry movies it's weird.
I appreciate you all. Going to try and get some sleep but I have a feeling it isn't going to come. I've been zoning out to the Sopranos since coming home.
I just started sporanos for the first time (in s2 now) and even though my mom isnt anywhere near as bad as Tonys mom, it hits hard the way she talks, they did a good job with that character. My grandma was manipulative like that
Pic and The Tree of Life
The Fountain got me through many tough times.
Sorry for your loss, anon.
You sad frick man up and mourn your mom be there for your family. You just going to hide away and watch movies you fricking coward. Your mother would be ashamed of you for being a weak homosexual
I wouldn't want to be near my family if my mother passed. I grieve alone. My oldest brother passed away and I just spent some time alone in my room while.my mother balled her eyes out and kept to herself away from everyone but my dad.
Last thing I'd want is someone's emotions reverberating back on me. It'd take a few days before I reached out to my siblings after the initial shock passes
Not a movie, but a miniseries. You can get through it in a day or two if you binge. My favorite when I'm sick. It's corny, but comfy. Don't be too critical 🙂
here is a sample:
That’s fricking awful Anon. Anyway Anon watch Route 666 (2001), Joy Ride (2001) and Evolution (2001)
?si=R2tfXG-mzeu4qsuj
Condolences anon, watch Forrest Gump. That day comes for all of us but we'll never be prepared for it enough. Also give this a listen.
THE STRAIGHT STORY
Awakenings with De Niro and Robin Williams
I'm extremely sorry for your loss anon, there is no agony greater than losing one's own mother.
I think a nice lighthearted comedy would suit you best, maybe one of Jim Carrey's films, or maybe pick Rowan Atkinson?
I hope you feel better eventually, fren. Keep holding on.
Very sorry for your loss anon. My sincere condolences.
May she rest in peace.
Go to bed, Anthony

Mom turns 60 this year and it makes me fricking sad to see how much she’s aged the last 10 years. I mean she looks like a normal 60 year old, she’s even fit. But still, the graying the wrinkles and the age spots… I can handle dad dying but mom is gonna be rough. Hope they both make it another 20 years at least.
The fellowship of the ring
Wolf Children.
Shit makes me cry every time, especially the ending, but then I remember that it's all about moving on from the inevitable things in life.
Frick bros I don't even know what the frick I'm gonna do when I lose my dad.......
homie, your mom died, and you're going to WATCH A MOVIE? What are you, mr. Meursault?
Vax status? I'm kidding. Stay up, anon. I recommend the secret of nimh if you're ok with cartoons
I'm so sorry, man. For whatever it's worth, I wish you well.
Go see Flash Gordon
Man I don't think staying in watching movies or worse doomscrolling Cinemaphile is the way to go about this, at least not for more than a couple of days. Link up with other surviving family or go hiking or something. Don't stay in the dark room.
episode 10 of Violet Evergarden
I watched the whole series with my mom and even she cried multiple times. I fear I will never emotionally recover when I lose her. Suicide warning OP, this episode will make you unconditionally sad forever.
>two hours ago
>recommend me movies to watch
wtf is wrong with you? go be with your family, baka
Eddie the Eagle is supportive mom kino
Lmao this thread. You people are so gullible. Giving him (you)s.
It's acceptable to err on the side of moral goodness, especially so if the effort on your part is miniscule.
sending my thoughts and prayers to all the starving children in africa frfr
I watched my nan died before Christmas. Its sort of bittersweet, obviously sad she's dying but relief it's over for her
I felt the same way when my grandad died at 86. I never cried because i knew he had a good life and it was his time
My mum dying at 60 when i was 30 completely broke me though
I have a feeling my dad won't make 60. Shit sucks
I've realise that I'm the family administrator now having experienced some death. They're useless.
