Of course not. DiCaprio’s was The Beach, not On the Beach (although I bet some people would like to see DiCaprio involved in a film with a nuclear explosion in it).
It’s funny, I just watched this movie again for the first time in years because my wife had never seen it. The sequel(s) were crap but the first one has some good moments in it, and this is one of them. It is almost better the second or third time you see it, because you know that the Kid is actually thinking, and hasn’t panicked or lost his cool. It shows that he has learned things that are going to help in in real life, too.
I would nominate:
Spocks death in Wrath of Khan
The brief scene in Fellowship of the Ring right after they run out of Moria into daylight.
The scene in Out of Africa when Meryl Streep is waiting for Robert Redford to come back in his plane, he is late, and then her ex-husband comes to see her. She realizes immediately what it means (Robert Redford has crashed his plane and is dead).
Can’t believe I’m the first to mention this one! I cry buckets every time!
SCOUT: Hay, Boo!
ATTICUS: Miss Jean Louise, may I present Mr. Arthur Radley. I believe he already knows you.
later in that same scene. . .
SCOUT: You can pet him, Mr. Arthur. 'Couldn’t if he was awake though. He wouldn’t let you.
Another lump-in-the-throat scene:
REV. SYKES: “Miss Jean Louise, Miss Jean Louise! Stand up! Your father’s passin’.”
From SHERIFF TATE: “I may not be much, Mr. Finch, but I’m still the Sheriff of Maycomb County and Bob Ewell fell on his knife!”
And the closing narration by Kim Stanley as the grown-up Scout: “He (Atticus) would be in Jem’s room all night. And he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.” sniff
The end of Black Hawk Down when they were reading that letter from the dead sniper while they showed the names of all the dead soldiers.
When he says “Give her a kiss from daddy”. Makes me teary eyed just thinking about someone reading my “didn’t-make-it-back-from-war” letter to my daughter because it has that exact same line in it.
Guess you would have had to have written one to really feel it.
Standing on the desks in Dead Poets Society
“Oh captain, my captain”
(and very cheesy…)
“Mavricks re-engaging sir” from Top Gun
NP: Katatonia - Last Fair Deal Gone Down
The end of “Leon, the professional”. The closest I ever was to crying in a movie… 
The last twenty minutes or so of Darren Aronofsky’s Requiem for a Dream were very emotional. Before I saw that movie, I didn’t know how it was possible for people to cry at a movie. Those last scenes are very emotional and you can actually feel what those people are going through. The part that did it for me was when Marlon Wayans was laying on his bunk in that fetal position and it was then that you knew that things would never be the same for those people.
Sorry 'bout that.
I had completely forgotten about that scene in TKAMB. Got me all choked up just thinking about it.
I never cry at movies, only 5 or 6 in my entire life have made me tear up. That said, A.I. Artificial Intelligence had me reduced to a quivering pile of goo for nearly the whole film, especially when David gets abandoned in the woods. (Roger Ebert said he simply couldn’t get emotionally attached to a character who is basically a machine. Obviously he’s never played “The Sims” for days on end.)
Empire of the Sun got to me twice, first when Jim gets separated from his parents (hmm, notice a theme here?) and second after the war, when he’s reunited with his parents…and they don’t recognize each other.
I third that Forrest Gump graveside scene.
I don’t know why, but I probably cried (probably more than what was warranted) during that scene in A.I. when Teddy handed that annoying brat the lock of his mother’s hair. I think I was drunk from sleeplessness.
At the very end of The Outsiders when the credits come on and Stevie Wonder’s song “Stay Gold” is playing… sniff
I cried a lot at Deep Impact, but not really at any particular scene. The ending bit of Instinct made me cry too. But probably the most moving scene in a movie is the part in Glory where Denzel Washington’s character is being whipped, and he just stands there with a single tear running down his face.
how about in “mask” when sam elliot’s character is describing when he took rocky and his mother to get rockys picture taken and how the photographer was shocked by rocky’s face but his mother was beaming with pride and love as she watched, and he tells rocky “I have never seen a more beautiful woman.”
damn, typing it gets to me.
Yeah, the ending to Lilo & Stitch: “This is my family. I found it, all on my own. It’s little, and broken, but still good . . . Yeah, still good.”
As a child, I cried toward the end of Short Circuit, when it seems as if Number 5 has been blown up, and the bad guys are picking over the wreckage and playing with it. Very distressing for a 6 year old.
