I have, I have!
Lobsang, you are not a thread-killer! Maybe I will be, but not you. 
My God, that movie is very depressing. Poor Jack Nicholson…The whole thing winds up being a soul-killing experience for him and he drinks himself into dissolution. And nobody even knows that the criminal is dead.
Just one thing: Could they have made Robin Wright Penn look any less attractive than she did in this movie? Dang.
Spock (post Pon Farr, in original series, when told to “Live Long and Prosper”)
“I shall do neither… I have killed my Captain and my friend.”
Spock in “Star Trek 2” “I am… and always will be… your friend.”
Spock and Saavik in the Star Trek paperback “The Pandora Principle”
Saavik “Spock, was she my mother?”
Spock “No Saavik, but she would have been. She would have searched the universe to have found you.”
(I named my orphan cat Saavik which, as the book explains, is Romulon for “Little Cat.”)
Field of Dreams, catcher’s mask scene. (I never ever even once got to “have a catch” with my Dad.)
Shelby’s death scene in “Steel Magnolias” (My friend Linda died just that way.)
Forrest Gump to Jenny, “I am not a smart man. But I know what love is.”
In “Cold Mountain” when Inman asks Ruby for permission to live at the farm. (He is such a noble and decent man it tears my heart out.)
Maybe not “welling up”, more like tears of joy and satisfaction…
In “Cold Mountain” when Inman kills Teague with Teague’s own gun
(that felt so good!!)
“Oh no, it wasn’t the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast.” Who didn’t cry like a baby when King Kong died?
Cant believe that nobody has mentioned T2 “i know now why you cry, but it is somthing i could never do”. Or Watership Down when hazel pops it. 
Finally! I think I killed about five threads with mention of that film.
P.S. If they can make Charlize Theron look unattractive, they can make anyone look unattractive
OMG I actually cried buckets of tears for many parts of that film! (in my defence I was a kid at the time)
Hearing ‘Bright Eyes’ still wells me up.
I’ve seen it many times already, but there’s a part in Master and Commander that does it: the scene right after Warley’s death in the turbulent ocean, when his friend Nagle is putting away Warley’s personal effects and looking at a souvenir, and he’s welling up himself.
The end of The Green Mile.
Nice spoiler box Mike. Now I guess I don’t have to go see it.
Ok I did suspect the ending so its not completely spoiled for me.
Awakenings. It’s an older movie (came out, what? early 90s, late 80s?), but I sobbed throughout the entire thing. The whole movie, not just bits and pieces.
It coulda been the whole theatre experience - I’ve seen parts of it since and I didn’t fall apart the same way. Yeah, that’s it - the “theatre experience.”
You beat me to it. You wouldn’t believe how I sobbed the first time I saw that one. I was afraid the neighbors were going to come over to make sure I was all right (apartment, thin walls). And I couldn’t have explained to them, either! I still cry every time I watch it, if not with that intensity.
I am the King of these moments. And yet I didn’t shed a single tear throughout the entire LOTR trilogy. I varied from unmoved to “that CGI is cool”… but somehow none of the acting got through to me.
A few lines can do it, but it’s a thin line between heartrending and corny, and the line itself jumps about a lot depending how I’m feeling. For example “Now I know why you cry” never meant anything to me the first time, I just thought it entirely unrealistic (yeah, like the rest of the movie was a freakin’ documentary). But after I’d done my Religion in Cinema course and given a bit of thought to the battle they were waging… and after I’d got the idea that these people were basically fighting a hopeless battle, trying to stop the tide from coming in… well, then it worked.
ET. Rainbow. Sorry. Obvious. Wahhhh.
The Passion of the Christ, as Christ falls for the nth time and Mary runs to catch her little boy. “See, mother, I make all things new!”
(sorry that one got to me for a moment, service will resume shortly)
Obviously, SUPERMAAAAN! Although to be honest we should hope he’s going to put himself back together eventually, shouldn’t we? But then I suppose Jesus is going to be resurrected and it doesn’t diminish the gritted teeth faith that led him there.
Highlander. Who wants to live forever? Heather’s death scene, barely damaged by crap ageing makeup because of the enormity of Queen’s contribution to the movie.
As for Spock’s death, what more tragic moment can there be?
But Spock’s actual death didn’t really get to me, it was Shatner’s eulogy. “The most…” (grimace) “human!”
Jogged by Atticus Finch in the other thread, Life is Beautiful had the tears streaming down my cheeks.
Went and bought the CD of Offenbach’s Tales of Hoffmann straight after. (That’s the record he uses to communicate with his wife at the concentration camp.)
I am an average weller-upper, I guess. Most of the stuff mentioned I’ve cried at, including multiple viewings of the LOTR movies.
Recently, though, I saw House of Sand and Fog, and the end was just agonizing for me.
Beginning with the man’s son getting shot, to his agony on the emergency room floor begging Allah for his son’s life, to his son dying, to him going home and not telling his wife, to poisoning her tea (and you KNOW she knew what was going on) because she could never, ever deal with her son’s death, to going outside with her and just sitting with her, to putting her so sweetly on the bed and then killing himself…
That was 15 or 20 minutes of me sobbing so hard I could barely breathe, and the scenes just kept coming and coming and it kept getting worse and worse. I kid you not, it was at least a half hour after the movie before I could stop crying…I’d stop and then think of a scene again and just bust out crying again. I have never, ever had a reaction to a movie like that.
Just saw it last night. That movie played me like a violin.
Slightly off topic -
On a tribute to Christopher Reeve last night they played the theme from the Superman movie - and boy did I well up and then cry hearing that.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned this one yet:
“I wish I didn’t know about any of this. I wish I was like everybody else in the world, and tomorrow it would just be over. There wouldn’t be any time to be sorry about anything. Oh, Jesus! I really wanted to learn how to swim. I swear to God I did.”
(3 net.points if you can name the movie)
Welling up is what I do best.
Neverending Story: At the end, when the Rock Man talks about how weak his strong hands are.
Fame: When Ralph blames himself for his little sister getting pushed into a wall by their father.
The Color Purple: When Celie reunites with her sisters and children.
Toy Story: When Buzz Lightyear realizes he can’t fly. Also, when the Tom Hanks doll makes him fly at the end.
Sorry to bump this thread, but I am listening to the soundtrack to RotK and remembering that scene…
“I can’t carry it for you. But I can carry you!”
That part sends a chill of inspiration down my spine like nothing else!
Loyalty and friendship at it’s beautiful best.
I can’t name the film. But the quote does sound familiar.
Before his death I really had faith that he would one day completely regain full mobility and play some part in a new Superman movie. Rest in Peace Christopher.
One day I’m going to go through this thread and list all the films I haven’t seen. And I’m going to make sure I watch them all.
