Films which left you in tears

[Domeo]

Battle for L.A.
I couldn't believe I'd just sat through utter bollocks

 

[TheDoctor]

"Daddy, my Daddy!" does it for me everytime.

That scene is such a blatant piece of manipulation.
Everyone smiles and waves as she goes to the station, the music swells, the steam billows...
You can see it coming a mile off.
It's a non-too-subtle point hammered home with all the restraint of a rhino on speed.
Bawled like a baby

That bit in Star Trek 2 where Spock is dying in the warp drive chamber, but turns to Kirk and says 'I have been, and always shall be, your friend.' I'm slightly welling up just thinking about it.

Soft as anything, me.

Boy in Striped Pyjamas (the shear horrible injustice of the concentration camps and also the blind innocence of a child's friendship...)

Silent Running (Yes I cried for the poor droid at the end)

I've thought a lot about it, and think the triggers for me are:

The way the sound alters - it goes sort of like a tunnel with the background sound muted.
The fact that Bobbie is quite grown up, but uses the word "Daddy", which I think of as something small children say.
The fact that she says "Daddy. MY Daddy!" It's the MY bit.

Jeez, I'm welling up thinking about it.

Oh yes. It'll be a long time before I watch that again. Excellent but harrowing.

Sophie Scholl-The Final Days.


Kleenex country.....big time...
