Garden State - I know it probably sounds lame. But I absolutely love that movie.

The first time you see the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, and you finally hear Williams very majestic score. It's a great scene, and I still think it's great after eleven years.

Recently Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Man on Fire. Beyond that, I have seen far too many to list, though I would include a lot from the previous posts.

A question: During these moments, does anyone else's hair stand on end? This always happens to me when the music kicks in during a crucial moment. All the hairs on my arms stands straight up, I wonder why?

My wife jokes that maybe I should start a support group for those of us that STILL cry at the ending of Iron Giant. I still do, every time.

I still tingle at the opening crawl of Star Wars IV and at my first screenings of the prequels when they came out (those don't last though).

I agree with the Jurassic Park moment you first see the dinosaurs.

Unfortunately, I don't feel this way over new movies much anymore. I haven't seen Eternal Sunshine, though, so maybe it will happen again.
