Have you guys ever felt the suspense watching a movie for the second, third, nth time? If yes, what do you think the reason is given suspense is a byproduct of uncertainty?
good buildup which hits out triggers developed over a lifetime of media 'programing', compounded by projections and identification with protagonist

"Too timid to defend himself, Armin would often need to rely on his friends to protect him from local bullies. This, coupled with his frail physique, was a source of much shame for Armin, leading him to have poor self-esteem and believe himself to be a burden upon others."

Seen two movies last night in succession: Black Mass and Legend. Both were inspired by true events, Depp in a role of South Boston's mobster James Whitey, while the other one depicts London's gangsters Ronnie and Regie Cray. Not a big fan of Johny Depp and usually the movies he stars in I tend to avoid, but he was rather good in this one. Tom Hardy and his role(s) in Legend was worth of praise as well.

Jack Nicholson's character in The Departed was loosely based on Whitey Bulger. Fantastic movie.

:agree:

Seven stands out for me. When that emaciated guy jumps up in the bed. I know it's coming but as the sheer horror of the scene unfolds and then the shock of him still being alive plays out it makes me jump every time.

Also, Gwyneth Paltrows head in a box will never get tiresome
