Movie scenes that make you cry

[Cooper]

Sally Fields in Steel Magnolias.

 

[Rick Munroe]

>Sally Fields

 

There's more than one Sally Field? Are they any relation to Donna Summers?

[pegasian]

another fact-toid to add to the "LEGEND OF DERECK AND RICK!!!"

I like the think I'm not a romantic, but while I rarely ever cry in movies that are sad, the silly romantic ones have me blubbering in my seat. Most recently during sex and the city when Steve and Miranda meet on the Brooklyn Bridge.

>She wasn't raped, but that was a powerful episode.

 

 

Rick are you sure she wasn't raped--I vaguely remember that maybe Archie may have come in time to prevent it.

 

On a side note I always thought that David Dukes who played the rapist was hunky ever since I saw him in the miniseries 79 Park Avenue with Lesley Ann Warren (whom I loved in Cinderella). It was a shame when he died relatively young.

>Rick are you sure she wasn't raped--

 

It was attempted rape, but that doesn't make it any less horrifying to watch, which is probably why many people remember it as actual rape. Edith got away by pulling a burning cake (her 50th birthday cake!) from the oven and shoving it in his face and then running next door to Mike & Gloria's.

RE: Mary Poppins

 

I still LOVE Mary!!

 

There's nothing like Mary Poppins and a bottle of tequila on a Saturday night! "Feed the Birds", that's the scene that gets me weepy every time.

 

 

La Trix

[Kevin Slater]

The Times of Harvey Milk, specifically the tape-recorded message he left to be played in the event of his death by assassination. And the news footage of Di Fi announcing the killings.

i remember david dukes dying he was on location shooting the movie rose red at the time. i thought another powerfull episode of all in the family was when edith's friend Beverly the female impersonator, was murdered at Christmas time and edith's questioned her faith in god

[Guest skrubber]

The only movie scene that gets me every time is from Latter Days. At the end Wes sees Steve Sandvoss after thinking he is dead and the hug that follows gets me evry time.

[pegasian]

OK it is not a "CRY" movie BUT it got me. ....and NOT just because it is a remake of an old JUDY GARLAND/Robert Walker Movie (The Clock). The end of TRICK gives me that "TOUCHED MY HEART" GLOW

[Txpaytoplay]

There are several movies scenes that have made me cry but there is one movie where I distinctly remember crying at least three different times during the viewing. That would be Legends of the Fall. That movie was an emotional roller coaster for me. I cried when Tristan found his little brother on the battlefield in WWI, also when his wife was killed and then at the end of the movie.

 

As much as I cried throughout that movie I don't think I cried harder than at the end of Brokeback Mountain. Whoa!

[Minneapolis]

Something for Joey. The scene when John Cappelletti (Marc Singer) gives the Heisman trophy to his brother Joey after Joey has endured chemotherapy for leukemia left my whole family crying. To top it all off, it was a true story.

[+ Charlie]

The final scene of "Longtime Companion", when all the characters, many of whom have died during the movie, play again on the beach.

[foxy]

When Bambi's mother is killed.

[Kevin Slater]

I just watched Au Revoir Les Enfants. It took a while for me to warm up to it, but god, that ending scene had me (just barely) holding back the tears.

[+ purplekow]

Sophie's Choice when Sophie has to make her choice, which child shall live in the concentration camp with her and which one will they take away, to a likely execution.

 

 

I have never seen a purplekow;

I never hope to see one;

I can tell you anyhow;

I'd rather see than be one

 

Help there is a purplekow in my mirror

Back to TV tears for a minute. Here's one from an unlikely source - perhaps Rick Munroe will agree. In the episode of I LOVE LUCY where the Ricardos are finally deserting their NYC apartment for the early colonial house in Connecticut. Leaving for real this time - no idle threats. The scene in the Mertz' apartment when Lucy and Ricky are trying to find the courage to leave. Lucy's been crying but Ethel is putting up a brave front and trying to restrain. There is a brief exchange where Lucy looks at Ethel and just says "well..." and Ethel with a smile on her face just gently says "goodbye Lucy." And even though we know the separation turned out to be brief (thank God), there is something about the way the two of them looked at each other that had so much history behind it. It transcended Lucy and Ethel and it felt more like something between Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance. You could feel the love between them to the point where you couldn't imagine one without the other. Makes me verclempt every time I see it.
