So many emotional highlights, but Lea Salonga singing I Dreamed a Dream causes more blubber than there is in a school of whales. for me it is Stars. love that song. It's a wonderful life, gets me every Christmas.. really need to stop putting it on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I remember years ago there was one of those award shows - not for actors and stuff like that, but for ordinary people who had done a lot for charity or worked to support their local community. They had a woman on who had fostered about a million kids and whose own family had emigrated to New Zealand. She had grandchildren she'd never seen so they told her they were setting up a live video link so she could talk to them. (This was in the pre-internet days before anybody could do that from their living room.) They had only been chatting for about fifteen seconds when the connection went down. The woman was obviously really disappointed but they told her they would try to get it working again before the end of the programme. But while they were telling her that, the curtains at the back opened and her family was standing there - they had flown them across secretly. When the woman turned round and saw them she just about collapsed. Cue a happy reunion and tears all round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilbowie's Finest Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Not the whole film I am Legend as such but the scene where Will Smith has to put down his dog Sam as it has been infected with the Zombie virus - gets me every time [emoji22][emoji22]Apparently Smith got on so well with the dog that he tried to adopt her !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoid android Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Probably not the most emotional film, but very moving in its own way, David Lynch's The Straight Story is on TCM right now. Man, that's a beautiful film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Just finished watching Gladiator for the umpteenth time and I'm in tears. Manly tears, you understand. Which films are mature (not 'grown up', 'mature') men allowed to cry at? My choices. 1. Gladiator - the final scene. First time I ever thought about it. 2. Up - the first 15 minutes. We saw this at Stirling Vue while my wife was waiting for a cancer diagnosis. Stirling Vue? Enough to put anyone in floods of tears. 3. My Life with Michael Keaton. Finding out you've only got months left to leave an impression on your kids? Nightmare. I've not managed it in 25 years. 4. Dead Poets Society. Robin Williams . Oh Captain, My Captain. Who among us doesn't want a hero? Or to be a hero? 5. The Untouchables. Connery's death scene. Tragedy? Comedy? You decide. But that music. 6. Once Upon a Time In America. Pick a scene. Any scene. But especially this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_McyI1IQfcM. 'Noodles, I slipped'. Or the Yesterday timeslip. 7. True Romance. Eggplant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jsh4SvPdfl8 . Hope I'm that brave when it comes time to face the Sicilian. 8. A Quiet Place. Good horror film. Heartbreaking death scene. Hope I'm that brave when our insectoid overlords rule the Earth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku_jmqHIuFU 9. The Lovely Kate. And Donald. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pllRW9wETzw. Stick it to the Man. 10. A personal one. Freddie's last ever song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qcd_DW9QhgHonourable mentions: Dishonourable mentions All those moments and Van Gelis too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoAzpa1x7jU The Needs of the Many. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa6c3OTr6yA I rescind this entire post once I'm sober.

++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The Mrs wanted to go to the cinema for "A star is born" when it came out, I duly obliged. I was a bit choked up at the end I have to admit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should put the sad bits in the middle of the film so that us men get a chance to compose ourselves before the lights come up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Gladiator was the first film that made me cry, even as a young boy. Only film that has made me cry in a cinema was About Time, which I don't think is overly emotional or sad, but one of the main plot points resonated with me a bit and it caught me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleMoo Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 A Dog's PurposeMy 12 year old daughter asked me to buy this on DVD last year. Did as I was told. Settled in on a Saturday night with popcorn and such like expecting a light hearted tale of a dog and it's owners, something along the lines of Beethoven.Offt! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Agree with the final scene in Schindler's List - the numbers are just mind blowing as well. Occasionally get a bit teary at unexpected films, but two scenes are guaranteed to leave me in pieces - the red bandana at the funeral in Land and Freedom, and the food bank in I, Daniel Blake. Ken Loach can, nice fella that he is, over-egg the message sometimes but with these he got it spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Not a film (although it is a film but the series is far better) but the end of the original Das Boot is tremendous. Tears for Nazis getting creamed, poor c***s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
