Thread: Movie Moments That Tugged on Your Heartstrings

That Lion King scene was very sad!

The end of Armageddon when Bruce Willis hits the button and the camera zooms into his eye and he sees himself playing with his daughter etc. That shit makes me get a bit choked up.

The end of Selena, hell even the song by itself does it for me.

When kid Simba is talking to Mufasa's body after the stampede in The Lion King.

Titanic----When he winds up frozen stiff.

Passion Of Christ---The look in his mothers face seeing her son get whipped.

Braveheart - alot of scenes..


Braveheart - At the end where his friends are hiding in the crowd telling him to ask for mercy, and then he says "freedom"


Forrest Gump - When Jenny dies



Gattaca - Where the brothers race at the end, and the older brother asks him how he did it?


Saving Private Ryan - At the begining of the movie where older private ryan crys at tom hanks grave.

sorry viet john but I dont think that moments from your gay porn collection count!

Rocky III - Mickey's death
Terminator 2 - Arnold's self inflicted death while givin the thumbs up before going under
American History X - Danny's death at the end

Rudy - When he runs onto the field and gets his first and only tackle of the game and then gets carried off the field

Saving Private Ryan - When Tom Hanks is on the beach and all of a sudden he is looking around and seeing men get shot and killed. What's so good about this part is that they slowed everything down and it's nothing but music playing and the special effects

Braveheart - When William Wallace's wife gets killed but the last at the end when he yells out "Freedom" before getting beheaded was sad

John Q - When Denzel is about to give his son his own heart in the end of the movie and is talking to him

Rocky IV - When he yells out "I love you adrian" after beating Drago

there was no mention of genres that qualify.

Castaway........

When 'Wilson' gets washed away in the storm, gets me everytime......

Hey that one actually made me sad, but sad for a reason.

I gave my son a simple ball and he lost it in a little crack between the wall and floor in the closet, he cried like crazy and I tried as much as I could but I could never retrieve it.

Huh, how about movies that left you stunned after you saw them?

Four very different angles on warfare:

Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket (Stanley Kubrick)

Thin Red Line

Saving Private Ryan

After each of these movies, the audience sat..quiet. Nobody jumped to their feet.

Thats when you know, its a great movie.

Platoon - when Elias dies, that iconic overhead shot with his arms out streched, on his knees with the vietcong leigons swarming around him like an incoming tide.
One of my favourite films.

Braveheart is a good one.

How about the part in The Rock when Nicolas Cage already disarmed the rockets and is waving the green flares and they just shoot the missiles at Alcatraz.

It's still one of my favorites, that pissed me off when he did that to him.

It is class. I always percieved that Oliver Stone was making a statement in his portrayal of the 'straight & aggressive' alcohol abusing GI camp with their country music and gambling and the 'free' dope smoking GI camp with their hedonistic, multicultural and easy going vibe. The music used seems to back this up.

When Mary told Lloyd he had a one in a million chance, then told him she was married...Cocktease.

It did a great deal, when your in a foxhole there is no color line.
The song with Smokey Robinson was good in that movie.

-Bruce Willis in the Sixth Sense at the end. Everytime I see the wedding vid of him and his wife..the cheek to cheek thing gets me.

-When the woman dies in Brainstorm and Christopher Walken plays back her recorded memories of her going to heaven...sending himself at the same time.

-The music being played when the Velociraptors attack the T-rex in Jurassic Park.

-Billy Bob making his touchdown in Varsity Blues.

-When ET goes home.

-When the deathstar is destroyed, han solo never gets rescued, and when Luke 'saves' his father.

-When Phoenix bats the alien in Signs.

-When Peter Pan remembered how to fly in Hook.

-When Jaws blows up.

-Kevin Spacey dying in American Beauty.

-Mel Gibson's wife getting her throat slit, when he gets betrayed, when he dies, and at the very end when the new king leads his men in Braveheart.

-Hmm, when Mel's gfriend dies in Lethal Weapon 2. (Mel Gibson does pretty good at this sort of shit)


Most of the scenes I buckle cuz of the musical score. I consider John Williams a genius for this.

Misery
That movie draws you in...
the scene where she 'hobbled' the writer...I tucked my feet under the chair.

But, when he slammed the typewriter on her...you were like; YEAH!, BITCH! DIE!


I mentioned it the day before:
Passion of the Christ.
During the whipping scene..you find yourself gripping your armrests..and want to jump up and scream at the screen: STOP!

When Jesus is walking thru town with the cross on his back and he stumbles...his mother is there...I forget what was said..but that's where I lost it...I wasn't the only one. You could hear the sobs and sniffs all over the theater...
As I mentioned the other day...was a great movie...powerful...but I do not care to watch it again...

When We Were Soldiers

I will never watch passion of the christ again. That movie just makes me angry. It doesnt even have to be Jesus and I would still get pissed. No one should ever go through something like that, especially Jesus.

That's the part, it really gets to you especially when you have a kid.
You raise them from them and then you see them totured....it hurtss...

"Awakenings" when they started to wake up,then when their loved ones came.

The end of Rudy

the end of saving private ryan

Simba dying in Lion King,

Denzel seeing Dakota Fanning for the last time when he saves her and she doesn't know he's about to die (Man On Fire)

that moment in Crash that is mentioned in the first post.




Shiznit, he is drawn and quartered in Braveheart, not beheaded. And wikipedia also says somehting about castration for the real William Wallace.

Braveheart, Armageddon, and Gladiator all get honorable mentions.

William Wallace's death in Braveheart, Bruce Willis blowing up the asteroid he is on, and the death of Russell Crowe in Gladiator where he's walking through the field and see's his family.

Sophie's Choice, the moment she has to choose.
