Movie Moments that Make You Cry

[Deleted]

I watched The Perks of being a Wallflower and for the most part it left me quite cold which was a shame because I remember liking the book a lot. Then, almost at the end of the movie, the lead character (played by Logan Lerman) talks to a psychiatrist after some sort of breakdown. When he said "You have to let me go, my dad can't afford this", for some reason I totally teared up. That scene had more real emotion than the entire film up until then IMHO and really got to me

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: the entire scene where Harry and Dumbledore are in the cave. I particularly like the part where Dumbledore unleashes the fire on the undead.

I have not seen the last movies but I'm sure I'll be a blubbering mess during those, knowing how I was with the book.

When Sam dies in I am Legend.

The end of Of Mice and Men when George shoots Lenny.

I sob all the way through Rabbit Hole but especially every scene between Nicole Kidman and the teenage boy who accidentally ran over her son. Especially the scene where she sees him going to his prom.

Dancer in the Dark - the ending, but also the scene where Selma is in her jail cell cheering herself up by singing My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music.

I sob all the way through Rabbit Hole

Oh, man, Rabbit Hole. The scene that gets me is when Howie is basically trying to seduce Becca and explains that he's just trying to make things "nice," and Becca says, "Well, you can't. Things aren't 'nice' anymore."

I teared up when Howie was upset after Becca deleted one of their son's videos from his phone. And yeah, that movie has many moments that qualify as ones that can make you cry :-(

Man, oh, man, I just watched Shut Up and Sing for the first time. The scene where Martie cries when saying, three years after the fall out from the Bush comment, that she and the group still totally support Natalie and that even if Martie had to give up her career, she would do it, just so Natalie could "be happy...be at peace."

(Also, I had no idea Natalie was married to uber cool Adrian Pasdar; great film overall.)

Somebody uploaded the entire movie Truly, Madly, Deeply to youtube, and I just stumbled across it and had a cryfest - the scene at the end where Juliet Stevenson tells Alan Rickman that she wants to go back to real life and the person she became after he died, and he has her translate the Pablo Neruda poem ("my feet will want to march to where you are sleeping, but I shall go on living") The scene where he comes back from the dead while she's playing the piano. The scene where he and the ghosts are watching her go on a date and Back's A minor violin concerto is playing.

Ooooo you guys I fell down the YouTube rabbit hole. I started out all happy and fun, listening to awesome tunes as I got work done, but somehow that devolved into watching movie clips that made me heave and sob.

I have never, ever watched the old musical Camelot without weeping in several spots. But this scene, where the three of them part ways, GUTS me. Jenny says to Arthur "...so often in the past, Arthur, I would look in your eyes and find their forgiveness...perhaps one day in the future it shall be there again but then I won't be with you, I won't see it". It just kills me. And has for years. I have not become immune after dozens of viewings, in fact I cry harder now than when I was much younger. I wonder why that is? Geez.

Farewell

And word to the Dumbo weeping. I cried at that when I was a kid, and then as an adult when I was going through a horrific custody case with my ex; my son would cry and I remember his little fingers clinging to the door frame when it was time for him to go to his dad's. Dumbo came on around Christmas that first year and I had to leave the room during the Baby Mine scene. What made it even worse, if it was even freaking possible, was that song was one of the three I used to sing to him every night. It is a sweet song on on its own! But I gave it up as part of the nighttime routine.

God I hate YouTube.    I need to block Dumbo, Camelot, and Puff the Magic Dragon music videos, since apparently I can't be trusted not to overdo it.

I went to see Forrest Gump over the weekend in IMAX, and cried at all the same parts I always cry at. When Bubba dies, when Mama dies, and when Forrest is at Jenny's grave.
