United 93
Just watched this on DVD. This was one of the most intense movies that I have ever seen. Even though, by now, we know the outcome of the events of 9/11, for awhile I still felt that things would/could turn out differently. And then the realization hit me. They would not get out of this alive. This captured all the emotions and confusion of that day. Seeing all that again, brought up all the emotions that I felt way back when on Sept. 11, 2001. Most tragic is that it's all true. This is not a made up Hollywood story with a happy ending. The ending itself was very sudden and left me staring at the credits long after the movie was over. And yes, I cried.
