LOTR? Really? You teach me how to cry during the Two Towers and I'll teach you what the inside of a vagina feels like. Focus: The Hurt Locker earlier this afternoon. Third time I've seen it.
I got teary when he lets down his daughter again, just tears me apart. FOCUS: August Rush...the final little narration about music and what it means to people, its just poignant and really sort of hits home. I don't know why, but it gets me. And basically any movie having to do with a kid and bittersweet recollections of youth, or parents looking on back at when their kids were small. I don't know what it is. Im happy to be at the stage of my life that I am, but there is something so perfect and nostalgic about youth in retrospect that just kills me. I mean, I start crying anytime my mom mentions how I'll still always be her little boy. Dear lord I'm a vagina...
Lots of emotional stuff in here, some good and some bad. With the latter already been done a few times, I won't feel so bad about mentioning Best Of The Best. The ending just gets me.
I tend to "get something in my eye" quite a bit when I watch a movie, and as a 35 year old man, I'm ok with it. I look at it as I got my money's worth, ya know ? That having been said, what gets me ? - Any tv clip of a soldier home from war suprising his kids or family. Really anything involving our soldiers, as I have nothing but 100% gratitude for what they sacrifice for us. - Any time an old man is telling you his experiences and his lip starts quivering. Someone posted something from Band of Brothers earlier. Spot on. - Field of Dreams... if that end scene where Ray asks his dad to have a catch doesn't get you, you are not human. - I pre-screened "The Passion" for my wife, to decide if she'd be able to watch it or not. ( Rocky is too violent for her ) and I wasn't right for a couple days. Maybe it's the parent in me, but that scene where Jesus falls down and Mary sees in her head the time he fell as a child, that hit me hard. - Someone mentioned John Q. Interesting fact, that scene before he takes over the hospital, where he's talking to his son, and he is all teary eyed ( as was I) and he turns and looks over his shoulder: I saw an interview with Denzel where he was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the scene, those tears are real, and he was looking to the director to ask for a break or something, the director waved him to keep going. I think that's pretty interesting and some powerful acting.
The Green Mile- So many parts to this movie that make me tear up The Story of Marcus Luttrell- Those of you that were on the old boards know what i am talking about Really those two are only the tip of the iceberg, i can be quite the weepy bitch at times.
I will say at the end of Band of Brothers I might just happen to catch the wrong ways of the sun and shed a tear. The actions and what those men went through simply cannot be placed into words.
I know this is for film but I really don't care, this was what jumped into my head immediately, and its from sports. After Detroit won the Stanley Cup in 1997, one of their players was in a limo crash which left him in a wheelchair with brain damage. This was their celebration a year later when they repeated. at 7:39 onwards, and especially at 8:55.
After a quick look through I don't think this has been posted. It is Jimmy Stewart reciting a poem called "My dog Beau" and it will rip your heart out if you have ever had a dog die.
Don't know if anyone here has seen the movie but if you haven't seen "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", it will get you. Being that I have been raised Jewish and have been to both the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. and the Holocaust Memorial in Israel I am a little bit desensitized to the subject matter but it is still a little overwhelming. This is the trailer for the movie, if you get a chance I'd recommend watching it.
