Movies: Scenes that "Get You Every Time"

[Miss March]

In "Marley and Me" when he takes an elderly Marley for a walk up a hill and they sit in a field and he asks Marley to let him know when it's time to let him go.

[NutMeg]

The end of The Return of the King, when Frodo decides to go to the Grey Havens and says goodbye to the other hobbits. My cousin died a year or so after this movie came out, and she LOVED the series. I always think of her and sob my freaking eyes out. Plus the song, Into the West... Wow I'm teary even writing this.

[GeauxTigers]

Dumbo, when his mother sings "Baby Mine" to him.    There just aren't enough Kleenex.

[Sanity Lost]

A lot of the ones already mentioned.

Also
Bridge to Terabithia: When Jess tells the teacher next time they should invite Leslie

Hachi: the very end scene

Schindlers list: the scene with the children coming out of hiding and the girl in the red coat. I keep wanting to grab them all back.

The boy in the striped pajamas; the 2 boys (the Jew and the Nazi) hugging each other in the death chamber and then the steel door.

LOTR: when merri is singing while the white knights are fighting the goblins.

[KenveeB]

How did I omit this? Star Trek (2009): pretty much the whole beginning scene. But definitely starting from "Is my wife on board? Take off now." <sniffle> I teared up just thinking of that scene.

Love Actually - the opening and closing montages of real people at the airport.

The Last of the Mohicans - when Alice jumps

I'm sure there are others.

yes to both of these!  I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one!

Another one for me is in Forrest Gump, when Jenny dies, and he's talking to her grave.  I bawled like a two year old

[CuriousParty]

A League Of Their Own, when the slugger girl, who almost didn't get to go because she wasn't "pretty", is saying to her dad that she doesn't want to leave him and he tells her "Nothin's gonna happen for you here. You gotta go where things can happen." Saw that right before I left for college, and cried like a baby. Also the telegram scene of course, and when Geena Davis' husband comes home.

The scenes mentioned in Hope Floats, but also when the little girl runs after her daddy and he drives away, that just tears my heart out. She sounds just like DD when she's heartbroken. The first time I saw that after DD was born I turned to DH and said "I hope you know I'd just shoot you right there and be done with it." (Actually, I said that when he came back because he couldn't stand to watch, so the warning was unnecessary.)

[ShanghaiJill]

In The Towering Inferno, when OJ rescues that kitty.

[Luci45]

OK. I'm renting Hope Floats tomorrow. Thanks everyone!

This thread is making me tear up. I agree with pretty much everything that's been said so far. DH and I watched Pay It Forward when I was pregnant with ODS, which certainly did not help things. But when they came to the candlelight vigil scene, I sobbed. I think I scared DH with how hard I was crying.

In Toy Story 3, I cried when they all held hands as they thought they were going to die, but I cried harder when they showed Andy's empty room after he was all packed for college. That one hit closer to home for me, even though my oldest is only 7.

In Fried Green Tomatoes, when Idgy tells Ruth the story about the geese landing on the lake as Ruth dies. Oh, and when Buddy dies, when they're screaming his name. And when they show what happened the night Frank died.

Is it weird that now I want to watch or rewatch all these movies?

Sound of Music: The scene where Maria returns to the von Trapps; the scene where the Captain breaks his engagement to the Baroness; the scene in the gazebo where they profess their love; the wedding.

LOTR: Coronation scene and farewell scene

Mr. Holland's Opus: final concert

Up: Ellie & Carl's love story montage. I saw a meme picture on Facebook that said, "Pixar created a better love story in 8 minutes than Twilight did in 4 books."

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: Spock's death and funeral

[GratefulMaria]

"Lives of Others" at the end where they show the dedication at the beginning of the book.

[PeterM]

"You're dingdangity right."

Oh for God's sake. You task me, filter.

[wendelenn]

Oh, I forgot--Remember the Titans, when they are singing "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" at the young man's funeral.

[PeterM]

How did I omit this? Star Trek (2009): pretty much the whole beginning scene. But definitely starting from "Is my wife on board? Take off now." <sniffle> I teared up just thinking of that scene.

The first trailer for Star Trek demolished me. The history of space exploration, and then Leonard Nimoy's voice and "Space... The Final Frontier..." I was done.
