Psychos Never Cry...Or Do They?

[R1s1ngs0n]

Name the movies/scenes that never fail to make you teary-eyed each time you watch them.

 

1. Elephant Man - The only movie (which I adore) that requires me to have a box of tissues nearby at all times.

2. City Lights - Ending scene, virtually impossible not to tear up.

3. Once Upon A Time In America - Ending + Dominic's death scene with Morricone's exquisite score playing in the background - gets me every time.

4. About Schmidt - Ending scene, possibly Jack Nicholson's greatest moment.

5. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - Ending scene. Nicholson, for all his devilish antics sure knows how to pull at our heart strings.

6. Requiem For A Dream - Ellen Burstyn's entire preformance, just unbelievable.

7. Midnight Cowboy - Ending Scene.

8. Up - Opening montage.

9. Time Of The Gypsies - Ending + Perhan & Danira reunion scene. And what wonderful music from Goran Bregovic.

10. Hair - Ending scene..."Manchester England England".

The movie that gets me every time is Grave of the Fireflies, it is such a powerful and beautiful film, but also the saddest movie ever made 😅. I have tears in my eyes the second it starts and can't stop until it has ended. I love the movie.

 

 

I don't really have a ranking, some of my favorites will do the trick. Braveheart, Dances with Wolves, Return of the King.

Grave of the Fireflies is really unfair 😅 so sad

 

Somehow I get still teary eyed at the ghost scene in The Lion King...the death itself never got me that much somehow.

But then again in other movies nearly any animal death makes me sad.

 

And even if it's stupid - Spider-Man saying goodbye in Endgame

So it’s Sunday, and that can only mean a Sunday movie really right?

 

Anyway, Channel 5 offered up The Wedding Singer followed by 50 First Dates. 2 movies I can happily get down with on a Sunday, but watching the Wedding Singer presented me with a moment that made me think about this thread and more specifically @R1s1ngs0n & @Trianna comments about moments that make them well up. Perhaps there’s a new thread topic there?

 

But the moment Adam Sandler plays his song to Drew Barrymore over the intercom on the plane and then walks out to her, gets me every time. So yeah, big softie alert 😂 But as I say, in that moment I thought of this thread. 👍🏼

I'm not someone who's big on romantic comedies, but I have plenty time for those two you listed right there.

 

And I agree with you about the ending on the plane.

 

If we're going by moments that make us well up, I'd probably go with the following:

 

- Ending of Toy Story 3

- Ending of Coco

- The scene where George Bailey is by himself and praying at the bar in It's a Wonderful Life

- Everything leading up to (and including) the execution sequence of John Coffey in The Green Mile 

- The scene in the car between the Cole and his mother in The Sixth Sense where he reveals he can communicate with ghosts

- The harrowing scene where the mother finds out her daughter has killed herself in Once Were Warriors

- Ending of Home Alone where Kevin sees Old Man Marley reunited with his family

- The scene where Cooper watches 23 years worth of messages in Interstellar

 

And many others from films like Rocky, The Elephant Man, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, etc.

@Pbsw23 @Fortis93

I moved your posts in here as I just realized such a topic exists already 😅

[Noir21]

I could name several movies in which animals are the protagonists, but I would highlight Hachi or Hachiko. 😭

 

To say the least, the end of Logan and the Interstellar scene in which Cooper says goodbye to Murph in the ghost's room.

 

Good day to all.🙂

I also recently saw a scene pop up online that I remember watching as a child and never forgot about, though I couldn't remember the movie title for a long time and even thought I imagined it:

Some other scenes worth mentioning:

Barry Lyndon - Bryan’s death.

Cyrano de Bergerac (the 1990 adaptation with the incomparable Depardieu) - ending scene.

Coco - ending scene.

Marriage Story - ending scene.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - Spock's death and Kirk's eulogy...........every single time!

I've only seen this movie once as a kid, but I remember this scene staying with me.
