Favourite emotional moments.

delboyfagan

1. 'Be Good Orin Be Good' - Fantastic.

2. 'They don't know your heart'...great music and great speech and great flashback on the final throw..but most of all great music.

Simian!

For me you are still too vague.

What about your moments was emotional for you?
what emotions did it raise in you?
Which character(s) raised these emotions in you and to what dergee?
Was there conflicting emotions, that you experienced?


I have not seen "We Are Marshall", what should I expect in the tombstone scene? Should I be joyous, heartbroken, inspired etc. Remember spoilers, if you are going to be giving away plot lines.


This is all just my request, in making this thread interesting to me.

I've edited the thread title for you. It's also a good idea not to post threads in all caps.

DoctorGonzo08

Terminator 2, Arnie being lowered into furnace, finishing with a thumbs up.

I don't, if ever, cry during a film. Not even that scene in The Champ.

But for some reason the ending of "A very long engagement" gets me every time. The musical score, the build up, Audrey Tatous big welling dark eyes... it just resonates perfectly. I've watched it a few times (when no other men are around of course) and knowledge of the ending doesn't change it for me.

More recently, a different emotion, but the final scenes in Martyrs evoked that real hollow feeling of dread and horror. Don't think any other film I've ever watched has accomplished the same level of emotive response as that.

For feel good, the ending of The Shawshank Redemption always does it for. Morgan Freemans lulling narration, and just a perfect conclusion to the story.

krudler

Shawshank for me too, although its not the end its a bit before, after Andy escapes and Red is narrating, saying how "some birds arent meant to be caged" its just the way Freeman delivers the line "I guess I just miss my friend..." that gets me, you really feel how close they became over all the years

Photi

The opening montage in Up.

The first time I've cried in a cinema since Little Foot's mam died in The Land Before Time. Seeing Carl and Ellie's relationship develop and grow, their love shown through the daily routines and then seeing Carl broken and alone after her funeral. Heartbreaking.

CliffHuxtabel

The scene towards the end of Schindlers

when they present him with the ring

Mackman

Ive never cried during a movie, but i have gotten choked up a few times.

The main one that springs to mind is the end of Armageddon when Bruce Willis is sayin goodbye to his daughter, always brings a lump to the throat. He made a promise that he'd come back, but he cant, he sacrificed himself so she could have her husband and have a happy life

Handsome Bob

As Mackman said, I don't think I've ever bawled over a film (other Terminator 2 as a knipper :pac:), however I have certainly been choked up;

1. Brokeback Mountain -

At the end when we see Ennis look at the shirts and says "Jack, I swear." It broke my heart for the guy, to me Ennis is the personification of a man who lived his life unhappy because of the expectations and ignorance of others. He lived his life in constant fear and he has relatively nothing to show for it. It's just so tragic.

2. American History X -

When Derek runs into the school at the end hysterically trying to get into the bathroon to see what happened, only to find his little brother in a pool of blood, dead. I nearly lost it watching Derek cradle Danny in his arms sobbing.

3. Mystic River -

Jesus so many moments. When Jimmy comes to the realisation that his daughter has been murdered. The wake when Jimmy breaks down in front of Dave. The injustice of what happens to Dave at the end. It's such a great film, but ****ing horrible at the same time.

4. The Passion of Christ - I'm not even religious, but if you strip it down to the bare bones to about what a man went through for what he believed, it really is hard to watch without feeling so much compassion for Jesus.

5. The Green Mile -

The final scene between Paul and John where John says he wants to die because there is too much pain in the world and that he can feel it. When John asks not have the black mask put on him because he is afraid of the dark. When John walks the Green Mile. What a scene, really epic, and I think is the closest I have ever come to bawling as a grown man!

:pac:

I thought of another one, Finding Nemo:

The end where marlin thinks nemo's dead, and he starts to go back. Nemo pops out of the drain, and is frantically searching for him.

its a very tense scene, and it still stirs some emotions in my manly tin chest

DoctorGonzo08

Thought about this one and tried to remember which moments of film really stuck with me, and here's what I came up with:

1. Mean Machine -

Danny Dyer scoring the winner!

Only ever seen the cinema where people were jumping in celebration of pure emotion and cheering, they really felt like they were there.

2. Pan's Labryinth -

Captain Vidal's death scene! I felt like spitting on him after his honourable speech, only to be told that his son will never no who his father was.

3. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Tucco's confrontation with his brother and then trying to convince Blondie that the conversation he overheard was something completely different.

4. Million Dollar Baby - The scene with the stool.

5. My Girl - The funeral at the end.

F4Fake

The one that always gets me is the ending of Cinema Paradiso.

The montage of all the cut kissing scenes, Jacques Perrin's brilliant acting, Morricone's haunting score...

Spoiler alert for gods sake!

For me,

One of the last scenes of Friday Night Lights when they lose to Dallas-Carter, Charlie and Don are on the field and Charlie slips the Championship ring on to his son's finger after Don's superhuman effort on the field and finally being accepted by his father.

Love that scene, nearly has me in tears half the time.

niallon

How has it not been mentioned already, Top Gun!

Goose bites the bullet

KungPao

Goodfellas

Carbone in the meat truck

supermouse

So many movies move me to tears...

I agree with UP wholeheartedly - one of my favourite movies of all time!

Beaches - Beach scene...

My Sisters Keeper - Beach scene... ''feels like home''...

Notebook... Closing scene.. actually no, the whole movie!

Have oodles more but cant remember now..

ryoishin

The new star trek film when kirk is sitting in the bar and the admiral gives him the speech "I dare you to do better" really got to me. Probably to do with where my head was at at the time.

Also...

when CC sings 'The Glory of Love' again at the end and then she and Victoria walk away together. One friendship has just ended but another one is starting.

Aw!

Stand By Me - The end.

When the voiceover tells us that Chris went on to become a lawyer but was stabbed in a diner.

Moulin Rouge - Roxanne. Very intense bit of the film.

Lothaar

The ending to Dancer in the Dark.

I also loved the ending to The Orphanage.

Both are beautifully bittersweet.

For shock value, it's hard to beat the end of the Empire Strikes Back.

And when it comes to feelgood, Jerry Maguire? It was on telly last night and I flicked on about 15 mins before the "You had me at hello" bit. Class.

Lothaar

Anger - it's impossible not to be seriously riled-up at Nurse Ratchet at the end of Cuckoo's Nest.

The end of The Notebook, I mean imagine knowing someone for that long and just longing for the good 5 minute spell.

The Tiny Dancer scene in Almost Famous
The Dont Die Champ bit in the Champ
Jessies Song in Toy Story 2
The bit in Toy Story when Buzz realises hes only a toy

and on a completely different tangent

Paul Hester crying his eyes out during "Dont Dream Its Over" on Crowded Houses "Farewell to the World" DVD

magma69

In the movie Blow where

George has to give a recording of his last words to his dying father whom he will never see again

. Simply tears me to bits every time. Especially because of the chemistry and relationship they have throughout the movie.

Also, in the movie Hotel Rwanda where

the UN Peacekeepers take away only white people leaving the black men, women and children behind to be massacred

. That scene filled me with several emotions ranging from disgust to despair to anger.

komodosp

Terminator 2 - Sarah's outburst during her recorded interview with Dr Silverman.

Funglegunk

The Lion King

when Mufasa dies.

Gets me everytime.

Dozen Wicked Words

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest is extremely moving and uplifting and never fails to make me cry.

Amelie is joyous throughout.

The end of This is England is like a punch in the stomach emotionally and very hard to watch but brilliant film making.

foxyboxer

Omaha beach in Saving Private Ryan - Not emotional, but gives me a lump in the throat each time without fail.

The radio black out during re-entry in Apollo 13 and the cheers after contact is re-established

In Benjamin Button,

when his father dies by the sea during the sunset

.

the shower scene in Schindler's List. the music by Itzhak Perlman. chilling.

the final scene in atonement,

when we find out robbie and cecelia died

the ending of Seven,

the head in the box

the end of Midnight Cowboy

bnt

Léon: "This is from Mathilda"
Stansfield: "$#!%"

I also like the "plastic bag" scene in American Beauty:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDXjnW3nIWg

Yes, I know it's just a plastic bag - it's the way it means something that makes the writing genius, in my opinion. I know some people don't get it, or the film as a whole, but I know other people, such as the Academy, do get it. :P

Tableman

The end of Bridge to Terabithia.

Its on RTE tomorrow evening. A really beautiful and wonderful film. So underrated

Valmont

The last 15 minutes of Michael Collins.
Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai.

The final shoot-out with his master

Lost in Translation.

When he stops the taxi and runs down the street after her, which was then followed by Just like Honey by The Jesus and Mary Chain

There's probably a few more I can't remember.

Morlar

Also Wind that shakes the barley had it's moments too,

the scene oustide the farm shed, the fingernails scene the haircutting scene, the resulting executions etc.

Another good one was Once Upon a Time in the West

the frank v Harmonica man showdown. A couple of minutes of magic, the way the flashbacks are edited and the way the tension is built - pure movie gold !

Katyn was rough in parts.

Schindlers list and ET both leave me cold for some reason, it's like seeing a mic boom or something, knowing your buttons are being so blatantly pushed just takes me right out of it. Having said that the scene in The English patient when he is carrying her out of the cave was quite powerful.

Even though it's not the sort of film I would usually watch, I was in the mood for a change and I just finished watching it. Yep, this one is on my list.

That just hit me right in the face, its delivery was shocking. I was choking the tears back:P
