Emotional film moments

[TransporterMalfunction 1]

Have you ever felt over emotional during a film, at a point when you are sad and have a lump in your throat, or when you feel really happy, frightened, etc...?

I'm not an emotional person when it comes to life, usually. But when it comes to movies, I'm very sentimental. I get that from my Dad - the ex-Army, metal machinist farmer. Sing a sappy song, deliver a predictably hurtful line, kill off the obvious good guy, and that's it. I tear up at almost anything like that (except the whole Bambi's-mother thing - that has never bothered me AT ALL).

 

On the other hand, laughing uproariously - very occasionally. Emotionally high - every time I watch "The Music Man" and the final scene. (See? There's that sentimental streak again.)

Well, I have a few, I'll share happy, suspenceful, and sad:

 

Happiest Moment

Spock's return in ST:III.

 

Suspenceful Moment

Picard facing off with the Borg Queen, Data seemingly working for the Queen.

 

Saddest Moment

Data's death in ST-X.

The last one I can remember is Titanic. But that didn't bother me until the very last scene.

I'm an emotional fool when it comes to movies (or television). I think the first movie I ever cried at was Snoopy Come Home (original release in the theatres) when I was really, really young. With TNG, I'm always in tears when Lal shuts down or at the end of Dark Pages when Lwaxanna is coming to terms with Kestra's death.

 

Nemesis was very emotional for as well regarding Data. My mother even cried the first two times she saw the movie.

I've gotten emotional in a few films. I cried watching "E.T." when the little alien seemed to die. I got a lump in my throat during "Indepedence Day" when the president gave that speech before going out to fight the aliens. I got a little teary eyed in "Star Trek: Search for Spock" when the Enterprise blew up and burned up in the atomosphere. Even in the film "Armageddon" I dropped a tear or two when the little boy looked at the TV and said "Look mommy,its that salesman" and the mother hugged the kid and said " No, thats your father"

 

On the humorous side I started laughing at the beginning of the film "Animal House" and didn't stop laughing until we were leaving the theatre,Funniest movie I've ever seen!

Yeah, but realistically, would the President fly off to fight aliens? Instead, he'd be hidden away in some bunker.

Never really been scared during a film as I have seen worse in real life. The closest I have come to a sad emotional reaction was when I first saw the Enterprise blow up in ST3 and then Bones delivers his poetic line to Kirk.

 

Bridge on the River Kwai was quite sad when you realise that Sir Alec's character has actually lost sight of his patroitism.

 

Also, several episodes of the Twilight Zone, especially Walking Distance and Kick the Can.

In the film "The Rescue of Jessica McClure",I got a lump in my throat when they finally managed to get her out of that shaft

For those who don't know the film,it's a true story about an 18 month old girl who fell 20ft down a abandoned well shaft in her back garden, in Odessa,Texas.

After what was thought of as a simple job,in the end it took all day and night to finally rescue her. :(

It's a great film and one that'll def get a lump in your throat.

I have a lot of emotional moments in films. I cried during almost the entire movie while watching "I am Sam" thats the saddest movie ever. Also "a walk to remember" and "titanic" both are eally sad. and of course, data dying

 

Also, several episodes of the Twilight Zone, especially Walking Distance and Kick the Can.

 

omg, yes, the end of "kick the can" is sad! I love that epsiode. (I like movies that make me sad, I don't really know why though) I don't really remember walking distance that well, but if someone told me what it was about I would probably remember getting a lump in my throat in that one too.

 

As for scary movies, sixth sense and the shinning are probably two of the more scarirer movies that I've seen.

There are a multitude of films that get me going but the first ones that came to mind was Mr. Holland's Opus and The Rookie.

Walking Distance was Rod's personal favorite, and I can certainly see why. It is the one when a city executive takes a trip back to his home town to try to relive his youth, however he goes back in time and meets himself and his dad but in the end he realises that he can never really go back as things change.

E.T I was laughing in that one.

Criers: "Schindler's List", "Ghost" (only the first time I saw it), and "E.T." (only when I was drunk).

 

"Patton" always gives me goosepimples.

 

The "Rocky" films always give me a nice adrenaline surge.

 

While I have seen a lot of funny movies, the only one that made me laugh until I was completely drained was "Airplane". :(
