The Normandy invasion in Saving Private Ryan is really the only time that I have truly been shaken up in a movie theater. It really hit home with regards to what my grandparent’s generation sacrificed to keep this country free.

Tristan reuniting with his now-handicapped father after his long absence in Legends of the Fall



The ending when Alfred redeems himself in the gun fight, a nod between brothers to Tristan, and then makes up with their dad gets me as well as Tristan looking at the picture of all 3 brothers with the violin playing in the background

I like the movie fine for what it is, but generally speaking, I think it tried way too hard to be a super emotional tear-jerker. ESPECIALLY at the end. good movie though. there are multiple little moments in many war movies that impact me more than really anything in SPR

Why don't he want me?
Dr. Cox realizing he's been talking to a ghost in Brendan Fraser.
Dr. Cox losing his mind after losing another patient.
Mare of Easttown when Mare realizes she has to arrest her best friend's son
George realizing he's touched hundreds of lives by just being a decent dude and getting bailed out.
Earn this.
Logan dying and the kid turning the cross to an X.
"It's not posible. No, but it's necessary"
"his pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern."

there's tons more, just what's off the top of my head.

The last 15 or so minutes of About Time. I still haven't brought myself to watch this again


Came to post this.

And slightly tearing up as I post my reply thinking of that movie and that scene.

I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard in a movie in my life before or since .

I have two that are quite different. The first is in The Americans when Phillip and Elizabeth see Paige got off the train. It doesn't make you cry, but it takes a second for you to realize just how drastic this decision she made is. As you think more about it, it gets heavier and heavier.



Since most in here are about crying, in Interstellar when Matthew McConaughey gets back from being on the water planet for an hour but it was 20+ years in Earth time. My face in the movie theater looked just like his as he watches his kids grow up via video in the span of a few minutes.

The scene in "About Time" when the main character visits his father, and they both know it's for the last time- they go back together as a young man and a boy and spend the afternoon together one last time. Always gets me.


My dad died young, and now I've got two little boys of my own...jut from reading this I doubt I could handle this scene

That Interstellar one is a good one. Having a 5 year old daughter that one hits you in the feels.

I liked this part too. The rewatchables shite all over this though.


I remember that. I listen to many of their podcasts, but they have some swings and misses. Their take on this scene was a big miss.

Last of the Mohicans when Duncan sacrifices himself so the Munro girls and Hawkeye can go free, then Hawkeye shoots him to put him out of his fiery misery.

You go from pretty much disliking the character to feeling great admiration for him.

Then the Promentory kicks on while he’s being hauled to burn and a movie gets real epic real fast. Cinema at its finest. That gets me every time.

Exposing my Star Trek nerdness some here but another one for me is at the end of the episode The Paradise Syndrome Kirk kisses Miramanee one last time as she's dying and she says " each kiss is as the first ". That one gets me to

This scene was in the previews and hit me so hard I still have never watched the movie
