Emotional Baggage

I need help from the Tropers. I am working on a video learning course for 12-14 year olds. I am using clips from movies, television to illustrate a concept. I am looking for some scenes that show a character expressing some old feelings that have been locked up in emotional baggage. The emotional baggage can be old or new. A good example was Thelma in Thelma and Louise. Her feelings from her own unresolved rape caused her to kill Louise's potential rapist. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Are you looking for emotional baggage in the context of relationships or just in general?

Even the merest mention of Emotional Baggage makes me immediately think of Psychonauts. Hmmm, Freudian Excuse, The First Cut Is the Deepest, Dark and Troubled Past, Epiphany Therapy, Shell-Shocked Veteran,

So, basically you are looking for a list of examples of scenes from tv shows and movies where one person is talking about their dark and troubled past to another character?

I want a 12 or 13 year old to understand that feelings can be locked away for a long time but they still effect us years later. So it can be in general or in a relationship.

Thank you war877. I will check these out. Ideally I want to capture the emotional baggage in a 3 or 4 minute clip but I can edit this together from the movie to tv episode. Clips from something like "The Breakfast Club" are useful also but a teenager has yet to lock these away yet so I am not sure it gets the emotional baggage status yet. These are also useful to me if you know of any.

Erm ... it probably will sound like nitpicking and stuff, but it's "affect". I'm adding since you seem to be making an educational ... thing, and on the off chance that it will happen to contain text I'd rather say and and potentially sound arrogant than not say it and then see more people use those words wrong.

Anyway, sorry but no suggestions from me, seeing as I mostly don't watch stuff and you want videos and such so I don't have anything to give (other than the above bit of unasked for advice).

There's an episode of HIMYM all about baggage. I think it's "The Wedding Bride". You could watch it through on bobnational and see what takes your fancy.
