Songs & Movies that made you cry.

[Michael Morris]

Well how about it? Any favorite Waterworks scenes in movies or tearjerker songs? I have a feeling RotK will be filled with them.

I am showing great restraint here.

Huh?

 

[Berandor]

too damn many.
The music of the Buffy Finale (by that, I mean season 5, the true finale)
Braveheart
American Beauty
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
One flew over the cuckoo's nest
Dead Poet's Society
Lola & Hotel California (favorite songs of a deceased friend)
The bear who wanted to keep being a bear (a German song, title barely translated by yours truly)
and many, many more, depending on current state of emotions... but I readily admit, I am a sap.

I start to tear up every time I hear "One" by U2. But then, certain notes or chord progressions seem to do that to me.

The end of "It's a Wonderful Life" always makes me well up, and I'm not exactly much of a movie crybaby.

I wasn't going to say anything, but if TB can admit it then so can I. And it gets me every time, I don't even have to watch the whole movie. If I just catch those last few minutes, that is all it takes. No other movie, song, book, or real life situation comes close.

Also, I well up when Frodo steps forward during Fellowship of the Ring (the movie) and accepts the burden of carrying the ring to Mt. Doom. I think it is the look on Gandalf's face that does it to me.

Hamster Dance as well as the Badger song make me cry because my soul hurts after I'm done watching them.

Yeah, that about sums up my reactions.

..and this is where we prt company. I was entirely dry-eyed.
