Do you cry at the movies?
« on: March 01, 2004, 01:30:16 PM »
I do. I don't tend to display a lot of emotion in public, at least when it comes to being sad. But put me in a dark theater, with a good tear-jerker drama, and the floodgates open.

The scene that always gets me, even though I've seen the film at least twenty times, is the scene in "Saving Private Ryan" where the mother of the Ryan's sees the army car driving up the driveway, and when she gets to the front steps, she realizes what that means, and just collapses on the front steps. No matter how many times I've seen it, it never fails to make me cry.

Another scene, in the same film, is at the very beginning, with the old vet collapsing in front of the grave of his comrade.


And how many here can say they're ever watched the end of "Brian's Song" without being completely overwhelmed?

Which scene(s) makes you cry without fail?

When the credits started to roll after Weird Science and I realized that I didn't once see boobage, I couldn't help myself and sobbed uncontrollably.

Yes, almost every time.

Interestingly enough, it's almost exclusively when I have to pay the cashier those prices to get in and see the same old schlocky car chases, explosions and pointless no-plot storylines.

Yep..same reaction here...It's the only movie that does THAT to me...Funny thing is that when I saw it in the theatre with some buds...I didn't dare move my head to see if anyoneone else was..I listened for the snivelling..Didn't hear any...Oh well,must have been only me.

Now about that scene in "Titanic" at the end where Leonardo let go the wreckage...All I could hear were people grabbing for their buttery napkins.. "Sniff...Boo hoo!"...I was the opposite.."Muhaha!"

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying. And in that time when men decide they feel safe and call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentile heroes you left behind."  Major Michael Davis O'Donnell, 1 January 1970. Dak To, Vietnam

The words from the end of Hamburger Hill.


The only flick that has EVER gotten me misty is Hook, during the part where Robin Williams is remembering stuff in the burned out tree trunk. When he says "Daddy, I'm a daddy!" it almost always gets me. Aside from that, I didn't even quirk a brow when they shot Ol Yeller.
