Guest wildpegasus Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Yeah, I imagine that this has been done a lot before but I was inspired by a deathvalleydriver thread and I don't remember it being done here so what out there has made you cry before? Since I'm on an Astroboy kick lately I'm going to nominate the scene where Astro who was still essentially a baby learning about life is trapped in a box by the evil circus ringmaster. Meanwhile he's hollering out for his father who at the same time is hollering out for him. The father feels real guilty since he had gotten real mad at Astro for embarassing him at a party on a ship and now realising his outburst of anger was a mistake is looking for his lost son. They never find each other. The scene didn't quite make me cry but it was well done and very emotional. Your picks?
C Dubya 04 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 For some reason, it always seems like sports movies are the ones that get to me. Hoosiers, Field of Dreams and Brian's Song all mist my eyes. Hell, even the end of Rudi gives me goosebumps.
CanadianChris Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 I'm not afraid to say it... A Walk To Remember.
Spaceman Spiff Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 No crying, but did get misty for: Field of Dreams The "Bill Moves On" episode of Newsradio (Phil Hartman tribute)
The Tino Standard Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 For some reason, it always seems like sports movies are the ones that get to me. Hoosiers, Field of Dreams and Brian's Song all mist my eyes. If Brian's Song doesn't get at least that kind of reaction out of you, then you're a heartless prick. And for some reason, the final episode of the Wonder Years gets me every time.

Are you TSM's resident EMO kid or something?
Zack Malibu Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Series Finale of California Dreams. The climax of Armageddon.
Corey_Lazarus Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Terminator 2 Spoiler (Highlight to Read): When AHNULD is being lowered into the molten steel, and gives a thumbs-up to John as the Connors, Sarah and John, cry because they know this must be done. Donnie Darko (although this is more because I first saw the movie after hearing a friend of mine died, and "Mad World" has gotten me to choke up ever since) The episode of the new TMNT with the thief that forms a father/son bond with the nanotech machine (the thief's reaction at the end is what made me go "damn, this new series rules," and I still point to his episode asd my reasoning for saying the new TMNT is better than the old TMNT).
MooreMark Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Carrie..That later 2002 version. Saved By the Bell:Wedding in Las Vegas Carrie because I was just plain sorry for the girl. Saved By the Bell because I had watched it through the years and really grown to it.
Crimson Platypus Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 The first 8 Simple Rules... after Ritter passed away had me bawling like an alter boy on Sunday afternoon.
Guest SP-1 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Moulin Rouge. Stupid Orpheus myth and it's sad ending.
Guest Choken One Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 No American Male can't cry watching Field of Dreams.

Guest Ray Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Saving Private Ryan Spoiler (Highlight to Read): At the end, when the elderly Ryan is standing over the grave of Captain Miller, and he asks his wife, "Tell me I've had a good life, tell me I'm a good man." The guilt he displays there always kills me.

The Ghost of bps21 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Field of Dreams...every time Various Buffy moments
the pinjockey Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 The only Buffy moment to choke me up a little was the Prom when she gets her moment.
Guest Boo_Bradley Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I don't think I've cried at anything on the TV since Slaughter burnt Hogan in 91... The Elephant Man depressed me, until me and my buddies turned it into a running gag/comedy
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Where does everyone cry watching Field of Dreams? I'm assuming it's the "Hey... Dad...wanna have a catch?"
the pinjockey Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Obviously. I enjoy the female reaction to Field of Dreams. 99 times out of 100 you get a nice WTF?!? face.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I started to tear up just at the line being written right there.
BlackFlagg Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 various moments on Buffy 24 season 1 finale, 1 few moments in season 2 - Spoiler (Highlight to Read): Jack's phonje call with Kim, Geroge's farewell speech to CTU and his final moments in the plane. there are more but I can't think right now, heh
Mole Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I don't cry, just get misty too. A few Buffy episodes. Rudy
Corey_Lazarus Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I've never understood the appeal of Field Of Dreams, much less how people could cry at it. Wow, baseball. Wow, they like it a lot. And? Then again, I do have a deep-seeded hatred for anything involving Kevin Costener, so maybe I'm just biased.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 The movie isn't just a baseball movie. I don't know why there are so many people in this world that would dismiss it as such, or Buffy as a silly show about vampires, or Searching For Bobby Fischer as a movie about chess. I'll just never understand.
Guest Choken One Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 I've never understood the appeal of Field Of Dreams, much less how people could cry at it. Wow, baseball. Wow, they like it a lot. And? Then again, I do have a deep-seeded hatred for anything involving Kevin Costener, so maybe I'm just biased. The Baseball aspect has nothing to do with the emotion and element of the movie. It merely served as a Backdrop for the real story. For anyone whom had a Close relationship with their father or rather, NEVER had a close relationship with their father finds the poigant final scene emotionally gutwrenching no matter how many times you've seen it.
MooreMark Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 No Carrie love?! I feel so alone. *goes to closet and prays for forgiveness*
Guest wrestlingbs Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Quantum Leap always chokes me up when i watch the finale: Spoiler (Highlight to Read): "Al retired, married, his girlfriend, and raised 3 kids. they are now celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary." "Sam never returned home." :sniff:
