it moved me to tears, or some other reaction !!

ok, so i was watching a particular movie last night for the 100,000 time and again right at the end, I started to feel a bit weird - hairs standing up on the back of my neck, my throat started to get a little tight with a weird lump forming in it, my eyes got a little blurry and started to seep a clear liquid substance. (for those of a dirty mind, i was starting to shed a tear)

after i recovered i kinda thought i would like to know what movies make the rest of ya choke up (or hurl for that matter).

oh and the movie was redemption of the shawshank kind.

Finding Nemo. The bit where all the fish are caught in the net, and the are all chanting "SWIM DOWN" while giving it all they have. Cue me crying like a girl and howling "SWIM YOU FISHY SCALY BSATARDS!" every time.

No movies have ever really made me get that lump in the throat, the closet probably being the ending of Terminator 2 when Arnie lowers himself into the molten liquid. *sniff* And when he sticks up the thumb it's even more heart-wrenching *sniff* Oh God!!!

The movie that made me hurl the most was The Day After Tomorrow, Jesus what a cringe-worthy movie. Corkey Romano was probably the WORST movie I have ever seen, incredible how it got the green light and it had Sean Penn and the guy who plays Columbo (though that's not saying much!) I couldn't stop laughing and cringing at the cheapness of the movie!

I knew some people who would get choked up over the bit in Armageddon when Bruce Willis is saying goodbye to his daughter Liv Tyler.

Ashamed to say it!

The ending of the elephant man always gets me.

monkeyfudge · 17-07-2007 12:55pm

The Iron Giant...

"SU-PER-MAN...."

Vin Diesel is an outstanding actor.

BopNiblets · 17-07-2007 12:55pm

Hugz at the end of Shawshank, awesome.

Q_Ball · 17-07-2007 2:02pm

Peter Jacksons King Kong. watching the movie knowing what was going to happen, seeing kong at the top of the empire state building and waiting for the inevitible. if only jack black had kept his f**king mouth shut at the end :mad:

Also, the original endng to 28 days later. so much better than the one originally released. really hit home what the characters were going through

MikeHoncho · 17-07-2007 2:32pm

The end of The Truman Show moves me every time. Get goosebumps etc. Im sure there are others but this one comes to mind straight away.

17-07-2007 2:47pm

The Iron Giant gets me every time. As does Serenity, Shawshank, The Green Mile and The Lake House. If only I was more manly.

Retr0gamer · 17-07-2007 2:50pm

Grave of the Fireflies every single time, and after watching the film the beginning of the film chokes me up.

ET used to make me weep like the little child I was.

irishash · 17-07-2007 2:51pm

ok, this is a weird one, and i cant really explain why it gets to me, it just does.

so its the untouchables and the bit where , spoiler - sean connerys character dies in a hail of bullets.
First time I saw that - floods of tears. Maybe it was the accent !!!

TerrorFirmer · 17-07-2007 2:56pm

Schlinders List. Closest I've ever come.

Also for anyone who's seen 9th Company. The part where

The main character of sorts, the artist soldier, is shot straight through the head in the middle of a gentle, passive scene where's he painting a picture and suddenly finds himself surrounded when he looks up. Very brutal, and totally unexpected - did such a fantastic job of stressing the fact that there's no bravado as an action hero in real life

Paligulus · 17-07-2007 5:25pm

"Teacher says, that everytime a bell rings an angel gets his wings"

"That a boy Clarence"

Everytime. Hook line and sinker!!!! Can barely breath such is the size of the lump in my throat!!!!!!!!

Oh and I'm talking about It's a Wonderful Life!!!

Owen · 17-07-2007 5:26pm

Cinema Paradiso, such a great great film!

Running Bing · 17-07-2007 5:31pm

Blow always gets me at the end!:(

Vegeta · 17-07-2007 5:35pm

the only film that every really moved me was 21 grams

moved me straight out of my cinema seat and home to wash my eyes with bleach and flash bright lights until I forgot its content

King Kong and Run Cougar Run got to me as a kid, in more recent decades one film that had an unexpected impact was Nic Roeg's Insignificance.

There is a moment when Senator Joe McCarthy (Tony Curtis) thumps Marilyn Monroe (Theresa Russell) so hard in the stomach it made me double up and actually hit pause for 5 mins. Very strange still can't quite make out why it erm hit me like that beyond the skill of Roeg and Russell

I almost forgot ... "The Good Shepherd" made me cry ... due the immense boredom of watching Matt Damon say nothing, or not move for 5 minutes on end, or the endless silent scenes of him walking through corridors.

Ever seen Meet Joe Black?;)

Roger Waters' Wall gig from Berlin when the wall came down. '89 I think. Everytime it gets to the "Bring the boys back home" bit, I'm reduced to blubbering like a baby.

17-07-2007 8:40pm

The scene in About Schmidt where Kathy Bates gets into the hot tub makes me throw up a little in my mouth every time I see it.

mobby · 17-07-2007 8:46pm

The Green Mile.Great Film.

Gillie · 17-07-2007 8:50pm

Actually the end of the Color Purple really fúcks me up everytime!

coley · 17-07-2007 9:50pm

no mention of La Vite e bella?

Shryke · 17-07-2007 10:34pm

No ones mentioned The Royal Tenenbaums(the ending)? I'd also agree with whoever said Blow. Great film.

Snake Plisken · 18-07-2007 12:32am

We did this thread a couple of months back, but anyway:-
Man on Fire caught it again at the weekend on BBC1 and that just breaks me up, particulary the scene on the bridge at the end, think u might have to have kids for it to really affect you, but anyway.
The Green Mile
Somewhere in time:- Romantic Time travel story with Christopher Reeves, even more sad now that Superman is dead.
Blow was all the more sadder for me when I read that the Director Ted Demme had died of a cocain induced heart attack.
LOTR The Return o the King
The end of Donnie Darko as well

Said it before so I'll say it again, Pay it Forward. Close, very close. ;_;

p~b · 18-07-2007 12:36am

Dead Poets Society, Patch Adams, Mr Hollands Opus & Jack were fairly sad

Dodge · 18-07-2007 8:28am

Felt myself going at Rocky Balboa

at the end of the 9th round when that music start playing

I know I should be ashamed of myself but it was Rocky godamnit!

it moved me to tears, or some other reaction !!
