Agreed! Also "The Color Purple", "Pinocchio", and (glad I took the time to actually read some more posts) "Brian's Song"

Show my boyfriend a miraculous moment in history, or some patriotism (doesn't matter for what country, just patriotism) and he will drown us all. His face was very shiny when I glanced over during much of The 300, and the first time I noticed him crying during a movie was Apollo 13.
On second thought, maybe it's just movies with numbers in the title. No, no. He cried during V for Vendetta as well.

Ok,
I cant stand it anymore. I LOVE "Field of Dreams". I loved the whole thing! What made me cry was when Doc "Moonlight" Graham made the decision to step off the field to save the little girl from choking never to play baseball again... I am suprised no one mentioned "Sixth Sense"! MY weeping began when Bruce Willis realizes that he has been dead all along and whispers his loving goodbye to his wife.

"Big Fish". I love the scene where Jessica Lange climbs into the tub with Albert Finney but I always start to cry when his son carries him from the car into the river as he's waving to everyone all around him. I've seen it four times and i'm always blubbering by the end.

Gattaca - There's such a strong issue about prejudice throughout the whole film which is important to me, but there's a shocking amount of parallels between Vincent, Anton and Jerome and myself and 2 brothers. The ending always gets me. :redface:
holy crap did i cry at the end of Braveheart. well i pretty much cried through most of it. something about how far he was willing to go for the love of a woman and how he sacrificed himself for his ideals just really got to me.
ive noticed that the older i get though the more i feel tears welling up duing certain movies. guess im getting sentimental. *sniff*

I know, but that doesn't mean I should disregard the similarities between them and my own experiences. Metaphorical script writing is underrated.
This is the line from Gattaca that gets me-
"You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton: I never saved anything for the swim back."
My mistake, I should've been clearer :smile:
Heh, the swimming scenes get me too! Most of the time when I mention Gattaca, all I hear back are groans and complaints, I'm glad I've found at least one other person who it can get to. :tongue:
it occurred to me that war movies that really focus on the bond of brotherhood really gets me. if anyone saw Band of Brothers youll know exactly what i mean.
Here the line from As Good As it Gets. It's Jack Nicholson's last chance at changing Helen Hunt's mind to dump him.
Melvin Udall: "I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you're the greatest woman on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do, and how you are with Spencer, "Spence," and in every single thought that you have, and how you say what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you, and I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive. And the fact that I get it makes me feel good, about me."
