FILM: Movies that have made you tear up

[Duke]

Too many to list.

Band of Brothers - many times but particularly at the end when they are playing baseball and Winters narrates about what happened to each of them after the war.

Saving Pvt. Ryan - when the preacher comes to deliver the news to Ryan's mom.

Bridges of Madison County - at the end when Streep's character is just about to walk out of the truck and then doesn't.

I'm sure there are others, but these three immediately come to mind.

Like I've mentioned before- the ending to Babe the Pig.

The end of Band of Brothers where we see the real life people and put names to faces.

For some reason I'm blanking on a lot of stuff. I cry pretty easy. That said, I didn't cry during Forrest Gump, which I think is a pretty lousy movie.

I was, but not in that spot.

My same beef with the film is my beef with the book. The Sam and Frodo stuff drags, and is basically just Frodo being a miserable [censored] for longer than really works. I couldn't get much emotion up because I just didn't really enjoy the characters as much.

ET (self explanatory)

A River Runs Through It (reminds me of my relationship with my cousin/best friend when we were growing up)

Star Trek 2, the Wrath of Kahn (the scene at the end with Kirk and Spock always get me)

End of Shawshank.
Field of Dreams

And at the end of Blow - where he tape records his final message to his dad:

"Hello Dad. You know I remember a lifetime ago, when I was about 3 1/2 feet tall, weighing all of 60 pounds, but every inch your son. I remember those Saturday mornings going to work with my dad, we'd climb into that big green truck. I thought that truck... was the biggest truck in the universe pop. I remember how important the job we did was, how if it wasn't for us, people would freeze to death. I thought you were the strongest man in the world. And remember those home videos when mom would dress up like Loretta Young, barbeques and football games, ice cream, playing with the Tuna. And when I left for California only to come home with the FBI chasing me, and that FBI agent Trout had to kneel down to put my boots on and you said, "That's where you belong you son of a bitch, puttin on Georgie's boots." That was a good one pop, you remember that? And remember that time when you told me that money wasn't real? Well old man, I'm 42 years old, and I finally realize what you were trying to tell me, so many years ago. I finally understand. Your the best, pop, just wish I could have done more for you, wish we had more time. Anyway, may the wind always be at your back, and the sun always upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars. I love you Dad. Love George."

Legends of the Fall
When the youngest brother is dying, and brad pitt is holding him. Then he cuts out his heart to send home. So emotional, especially if you are close with your brothers.

In the book yes in the film no.

For me I used to cry everytime the show Lassie ended although I was very little at the time.

In teenage years Breakfast Club and Dead Poets Society.

In more recent times, the End of Band of Brothers (ok not a film) when they showed you who was who and had the old men talking about themselves and their experiences and also a film about the Hillsbourgh disaster which is soccer related so wont be understood across the pond.
