re: Movie scenes you can admit you cried to (Possible Spoilers)

When I was a kid Brian's Song got me.

As an adult,My Girl.Little boy'd funeral.Little girls trying to put his glasses on him.

The ending of Dead Poets' Society, always gets to the teacher in me. I haven't been able to watch the movie since RW died. No way, man.

Two scenes in To Kill a Mockingbird:
1. "Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing."
2. "Hey, Boo..."

The end of It's a Wonderful Life.

As lsunurse said, it's a little easier to admit to crying during a movie as a chick.

As a Kid:

Bambi - I tell my Mom everyday that she scarred me for life by taking me to see this movie in theaters as a kid and seeing the "Mom dies scene".

As an Adult (there's a few ):

A River Runs Through It - When Norman has to tell his parents that Paul has died and tell his Father that the bones in Paul's fishing hand was broken.

Steel Magnolias - I don't know that there's ever been a scene that can literally take you from a crying mess to laughing your arse off in that short of a span as the scene of M'Lynn's breakdown after Shelby's funeral.

Rudy - When he finds out he made it in to Notre Dame.

Philadelphia - When Tom Hanks is listening to La Momma Morta with Denzel Washington. Just a really powerful moment.

The Shawshank Redemption - When the credits roll and you see Red hug Andy on the beach.

Forrest Gump - When he's talking to Jenny's grave. Every single time.

A Field of Dreams - "You wanna have a catch?"

Beaches - It's cliche' as hell but IDGAF. When she takes her to the beach so her daughter can see her out of the hospital before she dies. Then comes Wind Beneath my Winds. And the graveside scene. frick you Bette Midler.

Little Women - When Beth (Claire Danes) dies with Jo (Winona Ryder) at her side.

Good Will Hunting - There's a few, especially when he tells Will it's not his fault. But another one is when Ben Affleck goes to the door and realizes the "best part of his day" finally comes to fruition.

A couple:

Up: The opening sequence

Star Trek into Darkness: Kirk's death wasn't so bad on its own, but seeing Spock completely lose control of his emotions puts it over the top.

Captain America - The Winter Soldier: Seeing a 95 year-old Peggy Carter suffering from Alzheimers in her hospital bed and reacting to Steve Rogers (seeing such a strong character reduced like that due to old age is rough)

Guardians of the Galaxy - Meredith Quill's death and the redux during the Power Stone scene

I don't cry often while watching movies, but Seven Pounds really got me. Also, I have cried a few times watching the Friday Night Lights series.

Not sure if said but in Schindler's List there are 2 moments

1. When Schindler is leaving and saying he could have saved one more by selling his ring or how many more could he have saved by selling his car.
2. At the end of the movie when all the real survivors are placing the stones on Schindler's Grave and then their kids. Shows the power that one man even in the Holocaust could do so much good.

Cinderella Man

When Russell Crowe comes home and his wife had to take his kids to her sister's because they didn't have the money to buy food.

We Are Marshall several scenes

I made it through much of Schindler's list without crying like a little bitch.


(spoiler)

but when they showed the little girl with the red coat dead on the back of the wagon i lost it. went to bed sobbing like a little bitch. didn't finish the movie for a few more days, then cried more.

Not a movie, but Shireen Baratheon.

I legit had to pause and gather myself.

Brooks was here.


Don't know why but that scene always hits me hard.
