25th Hour was great. So was Gladiator. For me, though, the all time most ferked up moment in a movie for me was in Seven, when John Doe is explaining how he killed Pitt's character's wife (and unborn child) after trying to "play husband." I would have shot that mofo in a heartbeat.

Like someone said, any movie where a loved one is lost and the character is powerless is hard to keep a straight face for. Like in Braveheart, when Gibson's wife is killed at the pole while looking for him to come save her. Damn. Good thing he got back at the guy though.

Yeah.

I completely forgot about the last few minutes of Gump, very heart wrenching.

That movie was forever ruined by my friend Greg. A group of us went to see it in the theater and a some of us had been doing a little drinkin. Well, Greg was wasted. We were sitting up in the balcony and he had to pee and didn't want to crawl all over everybody to get to the bathroom. Now keep in mind that Greg is 6'9" so he's pretty damn tall. He then leans over to me and says, "I think I'm just gonna go over the balcony ledge, whaddya think?" So I said, "You could make it, just be sure to hang off the ledge and drop down...it won't be far that way". He asked my buddy Josh too, who said the same thing. So he says, "OK, I'm gonna do it." And proceeds to (literally) jump over the balcony and all we could hear was two crashes: one for his legs and one for when he fell on his a$$. It was quite possibly one of the funniest things that I've ever seen. Everyone around us was asking if he was ok and we just said he was fine. The bad part about this though was that it happened during one of the saddest parts in the movie, so he ruined the damn thing for about 20 people there. Still though, it was absolutely hilarious. His a$$ hurt so bad he had to sleep on his stomach for a month.

The part in "Armageddon" where the one guy went back to see his kid one last time and he was all sad and said he had something big coming up and his ex-wife made him leave.

The "Last of the Mohicans" where the blonde haired girl jumps off the cliff and kills herself to be with the other guy that just died. They zoomed in on her eyes...still the prettiest eyes i've ever seen, really bright blue.

For me, it was "The English Patient". The scene near the end, where he asks (with his eyes) the nurse to hand him a killer dose of pain-killer (morphine?), did it for me.

Also, where he comes back to the cave after being held captive, and knowing that the girl must be dead, is another very intense moment.

An awesome movie!

ROFLMAO

This thread gives me some good selections for upcoming weekends at the house. I'll call the movie station ahead to make sure they have the movies.

Anyhow, some that I've seen people cry about were

Sweet November,

Mona Lisa Smile. I did not cry for Mona Lisa Smile because there was another guy sobbing uncontrollably and it made me laugh a little bit. What was funnier was at the end of the movie, his girlfriend was dry as a bone and consoling the guy.

How twisted is that when a couple watch a movie and its the woman who has a shoulder for the man to cry on?

Rules of engagement, when the NVA officer saluted Sam Jackson I "got something in my eye"

Fast and the furious, why did ANOTHER charger have to die, didn't Bo & Luke crack up enough of them already!?

Existenz, I paid $7.50 for that crap!?

The only book I read in school... Where the Red Fern Grows. A boy and his dogs, something i could relate to as a kid. No one understands why this story gets to me. My buddies make fun of me, chicks make fun of me (no more showing my sensitive side!). I get teary eyed just thinking about it...*gets Kleenex to wipe off keyboard*

Ditto. I remember when he decorates her body and takes off in the bi-plane (into oblivion, i.e. a world without maps).

I can't believe no one mentioned:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Just read the cast of characters, you know them all.

Forrest Gump is painful at the end, my ex's name is Jen(ny).

Driving Miss Daisy was good too.

I know some of these are old, but certain movies just get you.

Not quite a movie but an animated series. Princess 9, the part where Yo is on the brink of death. Damn that messed with me. And the passion of the Christ.
