In "The Last Samurai" that one line - "I will miss our conversations". When my dad was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer and I had no idea how long he had left, that's the last text message I ever sent him. I'm grateful he's still around, but that line means the world to me.

[@KingdomOfZeal]

That’s deep man. I lost my mom in 2016 to cancer…I found an email from her a year to the day she died from Houston telling me she loved me and was having fun. That was divine intervention.

[@se7enwonders]

There’s a reason Robin is all over this list. And I’ll give you another one. In 1991, Robin portrayed a grown up Peter Pan who had forgotten who he was. He was old and bitter and tired and frustrated with life. The Lost Boys refuse to believe that this is actually Peter Pan. But one little boy, the youngest in the group, goes up to him and starts pressing his face and looking closely at it. He pushes the cheeks back finally to show a smile. And then he says …. “Oh … there you are Peter.” You can find the clip on KZbin by searching that line. I literally started bawling my eyes out. The metaphor with the scene is obvious. And all of us adults can feel it. Not enough words to express how much I miss Robin.

Oh gawds, what a scene...

[@thomasmoore8794]

Okay, so I'm DELIGHTED that someone else in the universe organically mentioned this scene... *ahem* please excuse my shouting: THIS SCENE IS SO PEFECT IT HURTS. IT IS ACHINGLY ATMOSPHERIC WITH THE BEST MUSIC AND A SMOTHERING FEELING OF MISPLACED HOPE. EVEN THE DUSTYNESS AND GRIT OF THE SET CONTRIBUTE TO THAT FEELING OF ANTIQUITY AND MISPLACED (LOST) THINGS OF AN OLD ATTIC. WHEN THAT FLUTE SOLO STARTS I FEEL ALL THE FEELINGS. In all honesty I classically struggle with people, and most movies growing up I identified with the robot, or the alien in lieu of a robot. But something about that scene made me feel connected. In middle and high school, as a boy, I caught a lot of flack for choosing to play the flute. And I went on playing for 4 years. I never learned that song, was never really any good. But I would have done much crazier things to try to bring that feeling back daily.

Gents, we may say "that bit made me cry" when what we MEAN is "that bit LET me cry" I lost my gran in 1991 and didn't shed a tear for months even though I love and miss her, it took "I know now why you cry, but it's something I can never do" to break the seal. Men process emotions differently to women but they are no less valid for it. I see you my brothers. I'll always have a hug

[@magnificentfailure2390]

Keeping it in like that can be harmful to your psyche. I taught myself how to grieve when my mother died. I almost got kicked out of the hospital, but I let it go. Some years later, one of my nieces died and I screamed, Over and over. Two years ago, one of my nephews died and I let myself grieve loudly. In a weird way, it helps. For me, at least.

[@dementus420]

[@creatureTHEcritter]

true words man i understand what your saying. My mother is currently sick with cancer and i may not have a few years left with her if iam lucky, it terrifies me but ive just been ignoring all the emotions it makes me feel. i dont know if this is just how i deal with this kind of pain or if iam just a cold person for not showing anything. ive never lost anyone but my childhood dogs so i have no experience with this. its just so scary that i cant think about it for long. Some of my family acts i dont care but in reality i just dont want anyone to see me so weak. iam afraid what will happen if i let myself feel it. i fucking hate human emotions. i just wish i could just turn my feelings off and not care, as terrible as it is to say that. iam glad you posted this it made me feel like i need to rethink the way ive been going about this. ✌

[@harryboyes2812]

@@magnificentfailure2390 Yeah, that's true, man. After I lost my youngest nephew - eleven years ago now - Dad and I were talking. He said to me then, "Everybody grieves in different ways. Some people laugh out loud when they get a horrible shock, others retreat into morbid silence." And I said to him, "There's no hard and fast rule that suits everybody, and if somebody tried to tell me there was one, I'd tell them to stick it up their arse." Completely freaking out was the only way I could deal with it I could deal with it at the time, and none of the men I worked with at the time held it against me.

Merrick's choice to die, happily and at peace, by suicide as "Adagio for Strings" plays ... devastatingly sad. Most of the film is like that -- heartbreaking. My parents took me to see that at age 7 or 8. (Can't recall exactly, back then films would play in theaters for well more than a year if popular.) It near ruined me, emotionally. They later admitted they didn't know what they were taking me to. My mom thought it was a documentary, I believe.

[@planetmayhem2012]

no FIRST BLOOD? are you kidding me? many hardened war vets have confessed they couldn't watch sly's monologue at the end coz it hit too close to home. they would weep, literally shake during the scene. and the emotion brought out would extend to the family members of those vets, moreso the sons. a powerful ending that opened, and continues to open the eyes of people on the reality of PTSD and the horrors of war. even president reagan referred to rambo in the 80s in one of his speeches about vietnam. easily top 5 for this topic.

My mom showed me the Star Wars trilogy when I was about 8. I know that it seemed kinda crazy that I started crying over one of the most evil and intense movie villains ever dying but I was so moved. He spends the entire trilogy being this evil, seemingly heartless man but then he gives up his life to save his son (and ultimately his daughter and the entire galaxy) from the horrible Emperor Palpatine. I remember thinking watching the scene of Palpatine torturing Luke that Darth Vader was going to save him. I was getting angry and sad that he was waiting so long but when he finally yells “No!” And picks up Palpatine and kills him saving his son I just started balling. And then his final goodbye to Luke asking him to “tell your sister that you were right” and then dies….Gah! My 8 year old little girl heart was broken and I was quietly sobbing my eyes out. I have since seen the Star Wars trilogy about ten times (my sister and I are actually going through the Star Wars prequels and originals right now) and every time I watch Darth Vader sacrifice himself for his son…I lose it

Apollo 13. The tension Ron Howard builds during the reentry scene is amazing, weaving what he put on film with news reports from the actual event. The moment they hear Tom Hanks' voice, just when hope seems lost, is perfect. I once saw a man wiping away tears when the movie was played on a long flight. Hacksaw Ridge is another with an incredibly powerful moment that comes after the hero, Doss, has saved scores of wounded, finding them and lowering them down the cliff single-handedly. He's met by his fellow soldiers with respect and acceptance instead of blows in a scene so well-acted that it's almost painful to watch.

Lord of the Rings has a few tear jerking scenes in it. For example, when Frodo and Sam are on the foot of Mount Doom, and it all seems hopeless Sam helps Frodo in his deepest need.

Another movie I would add is GOTG Vol. 2. I lost my stepdad in 2/17, and he meant the world to me, and loved me as if I was his own blood. Towards the end of Guardians when Yondu says to Peter about Ego just before he died: “He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn't your daddy. I'm sorry that I didn't do none of it right. I'm damn lucky you're my boy.” My “Dad” was not perfect, but he was the perfect father for me.

"About Time" (2013) makes me cry every time. It makes me think about my father and all the wonderful times we've spent together!

"I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" was a song that my father dedicated to me, when I was just a little kid, back when he and my mother divorced. As I grew up and developed my appreciation for rock and metal, I also found a renewed appreciation for this as the power ballad it was. Even later, that's when I learned the context it was played in, in Armageddon. I've since devoted every last line to memory, and now at 28 years old, I cry every time I hear that song, without fail. For its message, for what it's been used in, and for the meaning it holds between me and my father.

It's Saving Private Ryan that always hits home for me. My grandfather was a WW2 veteran, and seeing that movie reminds me of the hell that so many men like him went through. I went to see it in the cinema on Boxing Day of '98, and when those credits rolled there was, to borrow from the late great Meatloaf, "Not a dry eye in the house."

Stuff that's not on the list that always gets me: Casablanca (1942), in way too many scenes, but the airport finale is just perfection. 1776 (1972): "By a count of twelve to none...with one abstention... the resolution...IS adopted..." The Shawshank Redemption (1994): "Brooks was here." Jerry Maguire (1996): "You had me at 'Hello.'" Apollo 13 (1995): "Hello Houston, this is Odyssey. It's good to see you again."

[@andrewleah1983]

That’s because Casablanca is the greatest film ever made “of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she had to walk into mine.”
