Iron Giant.



I seriously tear up every single time, and I've watched the movie an almost horrifying number of times. I can't think of another movie that's ever had that sort of emotional impact on me, let alone repeatedly.

Gdrlv

No movie gets to me more than the Elephant Man...particularly when Anthony Hopkins takes John Hurt to his home to have tea with his wife. That scene makes me lose it everytime, particularly when Hurt tells her that a beautiful woman has never been so nice to him before.

DRG

Ditto for the Sixth Sense scene with Cole, Shawshank ending, and Good Will Hunting scenes, plus...

Signs

caiman

To tell you the truth, this thread is making me a little misty.

Joel

Pay It Forward


Deep Impact


Patch Adams


The Sixth Sense


.. and everything in Powder ..

SPiRAL

The end of My Dog Skip

zito

The end of Godfather III, when Michael's daughter gets shot. No matter what people may say about that movie, that ending was some of the best acting i've seen. Pacino, Garcia and Kay (forget her real name) were all amazing in showing their emotions.
That scene gets me every time.

I just recently watched Magnolia and the scene


I also tend to get a bit misty eyed Moulin Rouge. . .

Dead Poet's Society - standing on the desks (O captain, my captain)

Braveheart - Freedom!

devilshalo

Ditto.
"Where's the robot, Mansley?"


The Abyss
The way Cameron shot this scene made feel like I was there.


Saving Private Ryan
The opening scene at Omaha Beach. It really made an impact on what sacrafices were made by so many to give me the freedoms I have today.

Pants

That gets me every time too. But i'm not ashamed to admit it.

On the other hand one that chokes me up every time and I am ashamed to admit it is the scene near the end of Forest Gump when Jenny is dieing and Forest is telling her about all the beautiful things he's seen (during his run across America and in Vietnam) and it still hits me every time. It really does, I'm choking up now just thinking about it. Jez I'm a puss.

BubbaTC

Gotta second this one. It's the only movie that will get me every time.

shanester

Titanic had me bawling like a baby....twice

Cameron you bastard!

jdslater

i've got to agree with some of the other posters in regards to the final scene in monsters inc. just beautiful and if that doesn't make you want to have kids then your a cold son of a b*t*h,also a scene at the end of titanic,not any of leo's scenes,it's when the titanic designer checks the time with the clock on the wall,it's heartbreaking,they didn't listen to him about his ship and this is all he can do for her.

chrisfarrar

In the movie Blow where Depp is recording the message for his dad

Spooky

Well, I hope I'm not the only one, but the first time I saw IRON GIANT, and the robot sacrifies himself at the end and says "Superman"...that really got to me!

But sometimes I tear up just because a scene or moment is so perfectly filmed...like in E.T. when the boys are racing away on their bikes and get to the roadblock...that moment when the bikes swoop up into the air always chokes me up because it's my idea of a "perfect" movie moment. Only when the cops have the shotguns, of course....!

Michael Corvin

WOW! Those are the EXACT two that get me everytime as well.

The camera shot in both is incredible:

DPS:


Braveheart:


Forrest Gump gets a nod as well.

Have to add:
The Fox and the Hound


Mr. Holland's Opus:


good thread.

mookiemeister

Dances with Wolves


Abyss

Deftones

I'm sad to admit in ST: Nemesis when Data dies, I got a bit teary eyed. It was also probably due to the fact that will probably be the last ST: TNG movie.

Fok

Armageddon - At the end when Bruce Willis is saying goodbye to everyone.

A Perfect World - At the end when the little kids runs back to Costner and gives him a hug.

Man I'm beginning to tear up now

Cardiac161

...but I can't help it whenever I see the following:

Jerry Maguire -
when Dorothy tells Cruise of the breakup...and then cue the "Secret Garden"

Empire Strikes Back -
when Leia confesses her love to Han Solo in which Han Solo says "I know"...and then cue John Williams' score

Gladiator -
when Lucilla tells the dying Maximus "Go to them"...and then cue Hans Zimmer/Lisa Gerrard's theme

Cinema Paradiso -
when the older Toto views the clips that Alfredo has left him...then cue Ennio Morricone's dramatic score

The Mission -
when De Niro, before dying, sees Jeremy Irons staring right at him before being shot amidst Ennio Morricone's haunting music

Stoolie

Boogie Nights:

"I'm a ****ing idiot. I'm a ****ing idiot. I'm a ****ing idiot."

A River Runs Through It:

Damned if I don't feel emotional throughout the whole thing.

Lonesome Dove:

The character reel at the end gets me every time, as cliche as it might be. "Hell of a vision."

Jason

It doesn't really make me want to have kids, but it is a sweet, touching moment. Beautiful film. Just thinking what it must be like to have the talent to bring something like that to life almost gets me going.

Charlie Goose

I'm normally a big sissy anyway when it comes to emotional scenes. Here's a few that stand out, but I could go on and on and on:

Titanic


Deep Impact


Armageddon


Benji


Lady and the Tramp


It's a Wonderful Life


Heh heh, here's a recent emotional one from my wife:

Willard


Honk!
