I don't know why, but everytime I watch Con Air the bit at the end where Cameron Poe finally meets Monica Potter and his lil' daughter to the Leanne Rhymes song always gets me.

So does the speech by the president in Armageddon. :fluffle:

Oh. My. God. Do you start crying when you walk past the cheese counter in Tescos as well?

Hmm, few I can think of...

Clerks 2 - the prison scene where Randall basically pours his heart out to Dante. I found it really emotional, especially as Randall is a cold bastard for the majority of the first and second film.

Terminator 2 - the thumb bit obviously :'(

Withnail & I - Withnail's monologue at the end, outside London Zoo.

Lost in Translation - Most of the film makes me feel extremely emotional for some reason :(

Can't remember a movie I last blubbed in but watching the final episode of Blackadder IV will do every time.

Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption are both films I find very moving.

Not a movie but last episode of the second season of the West Wing after the funeral of the presidents secretary as he's standing up to make his announcement and Brothers in Arms starts playing in the background is a moment I find very emotional. It's a combination of being sad but also happy about the decision he's made. I do tend to find a lot of bits in the West Wing quite moving though. Not through the scenes being sad mainly but generally because you have people trying to do the right things against the odds.

Everybody sniffles when Goose dies.

Yes, so very much yes. Top Gun is the only film to make me properly choke up on more than one occassion. I did watch Billy Elliot live in the westend and when he sang to his mother i totally welled up....

....

Damn my penis just jumped out my pants and ran out the door...... There goes the masculinity.

I also cried at Casino Royale when he's naked and tied to the chair.

For different reasons, obviously.

Oh! That reminds me, I'm also really fond of the shower scene in Casino Royale.

Not because of Eva Green though, no way.

just watch a film called the dreamers and you'll soon forget about the shower scene in bond.

speaking of moustaches, this month of February is KiKa month here in Holland. Kika is the fund for Children's Cancer prevention over here, and one of the awareness raisers they do is a "laat je snor staan" action. Translated this means "leave your moustache on", ie don't shave the 'stache.

I'm doing it atm, and already the gf has her back up, and most of the people at work claim I'm an idiot. Nobody understands I'm doing it for the kids :/

I don't know if emotionally charged is the right phrase but the last few scenes of Requiem for a Dream were pretty harrowing. It'd definitely top the list of films that make you want to kill yourself. Plus the scene Damini mentioned - the actress playing the mum was brilliant.

I don't cry at films as i always tend to have the thought in the back of my head that it's just actors and sets.

However the one moment that comes close is the end of Schindler's List when the families of the people he saved place rocks on his grave.
