Men: Movie scenes that seriously choke you up.

Cafe Society
101

There was a scene in the TV show LOST where one part of a couple was trapped in a sinking submarine(they had a child who was not with them but in the care of relatives) and they decide to go down together, it is played as this really romantic and epic scene. My wife said what kind of shit is that, the trapped one should punch the free one in the face and say you are not dieing with me someone has to raise our kid.

I laughed because I agreed 100%, I assumed the writers didn’t have kids(I don’t know if they do).

Age: 31.

GRE: Approx. 5.

Barry Lyndon. Every time. Every goddamn time. And I’ve seen it more than a dozen times.

103

Does it make me a bad person to think in his mind he was saying “Ten fucking minutes to myself, was that too much to ask?”

104

Empire of the Sun, just after the attack on the airfield when Jim tells the doctor he can’t remember what his parents look like and the final reunion scene.

105

Yes! :smiley: You asshole, you. :smiley:

That was pretty funny, though.

106

Not nearly as tear jerking as when grandma pulls it together just long enough to tell her worried grandson not to worry “if they could get a washing machine to fly, my Jimmy can land it.” Opie should have the good fortune to direct another scene as subtle and powerful.

107

What was cool was that was Ron Howard’s mother. Checked IMDB and was surprised to learn that she had a long career as an actress.

108

In “life is beautiful” when Benigni told his son don’t come out as he knew the nazis were taking him away to kill him. Then right after, their concentration camp was liberated.

109

Another vote for ROTK, “My friends! You bow to NO ONE!” Gets me every time.

And this from a 56 year old surly curmudgeon who laughs in the face of death, sneers at doom, and chuckles at catastrophe.

110

Which scene? When his young child dies?

111

That would be Way of the Dragon, released in the USA under the title Return of the Dragon.
Enter the Dragon was the one with John Saxon and Jim Kelly.

112

And that scene makes me cry from embarrassment every time I see it.

114

42, GER 5
Apollo 13 reentry, Shawshank redemption on a happy emotional level
One Flew Over The Cuckoos nest , various LOTR scenes

When watching a movie on an aircraft the GER rockets to a 10, I watched Draft day and felt quite emotional. Something wired about the altitude I guess.

115

Well I’m 25; G.E.R. anverage.

There has been only one film that really made me cry: Dead Man Walking. When Sean Penn is going to be executed. The music especially makes this one of my favourite scenes I have ever seen in a movie.
