Which Film Scene has got you. I mean REALLY got you ?

[BBassic]

If you don't shed a tear during the opening 10 minutes of 'Up' then there's a good chance you aren't human.

 

[Brightonfan1983]

The end of The Orphange. I was in bits. Very cathartic sometimes!

 

[Brightonfan1983]

How could we not mention ET's flower coming back to life?

Unless someone already has...

 

[Pevenseagull]

most of 'Gattaca'

 

[Boys 9d]

I remember some sixty or more years ago being very upset at the death of Bambi's mum, more recently, the death scene of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables.

 

[Mental Lental]

Some good shouts on this thread. I think we've got most of the bases covered apart from this one glaring omission.......

 

[sydney]

the donkey pulling the cart up the hill in BARAKA........very symbolic and the music by dead can dance is haunting.

 

[Questions]

The scene in Debbie Does Dallas when Bambi Woods realises she doesn't have the money to go to Texas to try out for the 'Cowgirls' and has to earn it by doing certain chores. I didn't have a dry eye for the rest of the film after that. Luckily it all turned out alright with the generous contributions of Mr Greenfield.

I highly recommend going to watch War Horse live on stage, that was probably the closest anything has ever been to 'getting me'.

Have to agree. After all the plaudits, was disappointed with the film but the stage show is infinitely better.

 

[JACKRUSSELL]

Good call for Platoon.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Marley and Me- cried like a baby. Can't watch it ever again.

Same!

For me, it's the early 70s sci fi film Silent Running.
It's about a botanist on a space station who is in charge of the last of earths plant life, ends up killing himself.
Very grim story for a Disney film...
Dunno what it is, maybe it's a strong reminder of being a really young kid when I first saw it, but when I saw it again in the mid 90s (I was about 25), it destroyed me. I couldn't get a grip for a couple or more hours.
I still can't watch it now.

Although I don't remember it making me that sad I have always remembered that film for some reason. Think I must have seen it at about the same age as yourself and then again in my twenties and it's always stayed with me.

 

[W.C.]

lots of stuff, but the odd one that really gets me is this scene in Spirited Away when Chihiro is eating and then starts blubbing. Dunno why, it gets me every time.

Could only find a polish 'fan dub'!

 

[Bold Seagull]

Can never watch this without it having a profound effect. The one and only tears in the rain...

One of the truly great films. 30 years on, and still you won't find many sic-fi films that can touch it. Certainly not Prometheus at any road.

 

[Bold Seagull]

moon, solaris, and oblivion all have some moments that capture the awe of the love of humanity.

I hope your referring to Tarkovsy's Solaris, and not that abomination by Steven Soderbergh!!

 

[Gwylan]

Six pages in and no-one's mentioned the end of The Railway Children ("Daddy, my Daddy").

Gets me every time

That and the beginning of Up, of course.

 

[Oscar]

The first time I ever blubbed in the cinema was at the end of E.T. That still chokes me up.

But the "playing catch with dad" ending to Field of Dreams is a guaranteed tearjerker for me...

 

[Deadly Danson]

Loved loads of these already mentioned: Up, ET, Schindler's List, Champ, Love Actually.

How about this one from Magnolia?
