    I always found this kinda moving - not a film though



    As sad as it is, I found Stranger Than Fiction to be quite sad, especially towards the end.

    Not a film but the Christmas episode of 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip'. The song at the end is about the only thing I can think of that makes me well up...

    For anyone that knows what I was talking about, here's a legal link to download the mp3 of that version of 'O Holy Night' from:

    http://www.tromboneshorty.com/cd_recordings/cd_tracks/studio_60_o_holy_night.mp3

    If you don't know what I'm on about, Aaron Sorkin got a group of New Orleans musicians who'd been displaced by Hurricane Katrina to appear as 'special guests' on the show within the show, they played this standing in front of photos of New Orleans. Powerful stuff and a fantastic performance of what's always been my favourite Christmas song (and, yes, I get the irony of an atheist loving a hymn)

    You're all pussies.

    Eat some red meat and watch some pornos for pity's sake.

    Except for anyone who said Downfall; poor aul Hitler, struck down in his prime, his 'great work' not yet finished, no one to take over his legacy. Moving. :D

    Only ever cried once watching a movie - when Optimus Prime dies.

    Who didn't cry when Optimus died?

    Crying when Goose dies in Top Gun is okay too.

    I remember it well. It was as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

    The film worth crying about is Rambo first blood part two when Co dies and rambo has to rip her dress to make himself a red headband of love such an emotional scene brings a tear to me eye now just thinking about it, and then add the fact that rambo is based on a true story and it just makes it even more emotional:(
