Is there any director that is more adept at stirring the emotions than Spielberg? Schindler's List was powerfully emotional for me. If I cried, I don't remember. Makes you numb with the gravity of it all. I always cry at the end of E.T., though. So irrational, but I can't help it. Similarly, the climax of The Iron Giant gets me every time.

Datameister 2,042 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 The Lion King is a big one for me. Lots of childhood memories. Total nerd alert, but I got all misty-eyed in the final scene of DH2, as well. Knowing that this particular journey was coming to an end - coupled with the obvious but insanely effective reprise of Leaving Hogwarts - was enough to get me all choked up, and that doesn't happen easily for me. I've never cried while watching Titanic, but I do always finish the film with a certain sense of melancholic reflectiveness. The score, the lost love, the morning fascination of the all-too-real images of the ship's final somber resting place...yep, that'll do it.

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Amour (2012) - That movie crushed my soul. But in a good way. I felt numb, as if I had been bludgeoned. I highly recommend people to seek this movie out. I saw it on the big screen, staring at it in awe, literally incredulous at what I was watching but still the movie made me cry within the first 10 minutes. Toy Story 3, Up, Wall-E, Inside Out. E.T. The finale is a waterwarks special with Williams score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,949 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 The Lord of the Rings. Moments in all three entries get me going, but where Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers have only a handful of those, Return of the King has like twenty of them. Some moments in The Desolation of Smaug (the beholding of the mountain, the hidden door opening, the dead refugees revealed) and The Battle of the Five Armies (Thorin’s death) also get me. Braveheart. Schindler’s List. Titanic. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises, in a few moments. The Lion King - possibly when I was younger, I don’t remember. Same goes for E.T.

Will 2,215 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 A.I. is the one where I cried the most (ending scene). Empire of the Sun also hit hard although I'm not sure if I quite got to crying. I probably got a little misty-eyed during the final sequences of TFA as well (joy tinged with melancholy). Titanic was pretty gripping and devastating but I don't think I cried at all. To some degree I think the shock/trauma factor of that film's final third outweighed the almost perfectly tragic romance. I'm sure I'm forgetting some flicks but it's late right now. Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,528 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 When E.T. was first released, I watched it eight times, at the cinema. I cried several times, every time. It was rereleased in the UK in both 1986, and, of course, in 2002. I cried both times, then. If it was shown on TV now, I'd change channels. These days, I cry at different things, onscreen, but I look back at those heady days of 1982, with fondness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Kind of weird but the only film that brought me to tears in the theatre was First Man. Something about the timing of when I went to see it, the music in the scene, and the significance of the scene just broke me. The Lord of the Rings has many moments that give me the chills. Return of the King at Aragorn's coronation is the tipping point for me. Oh gosh, and UP. Just saw that up there. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know films manipulate us/me but they can do so unobtrusively and then there is A.I. which lacked such finesse to me. Does anyone get emotional during Ben Hur? My sister and I have sat and cried in a triple feature of An Officer and A Gentleman, Without a Trace, and Terms Of Endearment. We were hospitalized for severe dehydration.

You choices are eye opening in the fact that emotionally touch doesn't mean you have to cry. I didn't cry in the Exorcist but the empathy the film evoked was gut churning in how Ellen Burnstyn character was so helpless in her ability to stop what was happening to Regan. The same with the Fly (I assume you meant Goldblum's) in my case Price's version. The stunning horror at the end when he screams help me HEELLP MEEE is visceral. People laugh nervously as if that is funny but its not funny its horrifying. It evokes many fears of change, suffering, being eaten alive, and death, death being a sweet release.
