What's the last movie that made you cry or tear up?

I have no problem with expressing emotions.

Except I would rather do that by having somebody writing me a letter, a poem, a gesture.......something like that rather than watching a movie.

Just my opinion.

 

Most recent was the funeral in The Bucket List. Not quite sheddingtears, but it did seem a bit dusty.

I hate to admit this about Armageddon, but it's the videoconference with Bruce Willis and Liv Tyler that gets me misty-eyed. Not so much when I saw it in the theater, but I saw it on cable at some point after my little one was born. Father-daughter stuff gets to me every time

 

Different strokes, Chef. Sorry if it sounded like I was saying you were wrong...that's absolutely not what I meant. Music and books move me in the same way, though. Some of us are simply more receptive to certain forms of stimulii than others. Nothing wrong with those who aren't moved by movies.

 

The end of Driving Miss Daisy

And E.T. always gets me.

For me, Hoosiers and Rudy always do it.

It isn't the state title game in Hoosiers -- it's when Ollie makes the free-throws. And when they have the wideshot of Rudy running on the field for the kickoff, it's gets really, really, really dusty at Chez Vatican.

 

I'd say the final race scene at the end of "Hidalgo" and again the final scene in "Seabiscuit."

 

I agree completely. That was a really well-done movie.

 

Sadly, it's the only Disney-fied sports movie in recent years you can say that about.

They really fucked up "Glory Road," and that still pisses me off.

 

Listen up. I have a vagina. I rarely cry at movies and I generally hate chick flicks. I laughed out loud at the Marvin scene in Pulp Fiction. And I've completed more self-induced minor surgery than you have. So I would really appreciate if you would quit using the word "vagina" as an insult.

 

I wouldn't call it good or awful. Basic schmaltz, which everyone needs on occasion.

 

You do not mess with Cadet!

I'm waiting two decades before re-viewing Field of Dreams. First, my "sensitive side" was sent out for dry cleaning and they shrunk it; second, tincture of time will allow me to discover whether this was truly a great movie or simply a cheap button pusher.
