19QOS19 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I've watched the Pacific a few times and can't think of that scene. Bizarrely one that sticks in my mind is an Adam Sandler comedy called "Click", glad I was by myself when I watched that. Aye that's a good shout. The scene in the street I assume? It goes from that kind of sadness to a teary happy ending (get the Kenneth pics to feck). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives the actor who played Sam from LOTR the finger. Right big lump in the throat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I rewatched "Band Of Brothers" this week. The scenes in the camp during "Why We Fight" get me every single time I watch them. Doesn't matter that I know what's coming, I still can't prepare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 It's usually scenes portraying friendship for me. Reminiscing, nostalgia type stuff does it too. Toy Story type films are contenders in this field. As mentioned on page one, I Am Legend always jumps out for me on this topic. I watched it on a plane, was going away with my pals. One of them was trying to get my attention during the dog scene and when I turned round noted that I was sobbing uncontrollably. I am not a dog person but that one broke me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Why We Fight is brilliantly uncomfortable viewing but it doesn't really brings tears for me now. The part that always gets me is the very last episode where the real Dick Winters tells us about his grandson asking if he was a hero in the war and he responds "No, Grandad wasn't a hero. But he fought with heroes" (words to that effect) So humble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Why We Fight has me too numb with horror, dread and absolute despair of the evil humans can do to produce tears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The bit in "Breaking Point" where Buck Compton just breaks down always gets me too. Proper "lump in the throat" stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 'Casablanca' was on the other day and even though I've seen it a gazillion times, I still got hooked in. This thread reminded me of how the 'Marseilles' scene always gets me. Not only is it an emotional scene in itself, it becomes more poignant when you realise that many of the actors were themselves refugees from Nazi Germany It was also filmed in 1941, at a time when an allied victory was by no means certain. Paul Heinreid (Victor Laszlo), and S.Z. Sakall (Carl the Waiter) were both Jews who escaped from Austria and Hungary respectively. Madeleine LeBeau (Yvonne, the bar-fly) fled Paris hours before the Germans arrived, along with her husband Marcel Dalio (Emile the croupier). Hans Heinrich von Twardowski, who played the German officer with whom Yvonne shares a scene earlier was a homosexual who escaped from Germany. Conrad Veidt (Major Strasser) was married to a Jew and always stated his ethnicity as "Juden" on official forms. A popular actor in Germany, he and his wife escaped in 1933 after learning of a plot to assassinate him for his anti-Nazi activities. Helmut Dantine, the young man Rick helped in the Casino was an anti-Nazi youth leader in Austria and spent 3 months in a concentration camp. Another Austrian, Ludwig Stossel (the elderly gent leaving for America with his wife) was jailed several times. Almost everyone involved in the film was an immigrant and many left loved ones behind. There's a story that during filming of the flashback to Paris segment, one of the extras broke down because she'd been there when the Nazis marched in. So when Yvonne's eyes fill with tears, I get a bit snurfly myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Just remembered welling up a bit at the end of Desert Hearts. Also had a long conversation with a (still closeted) work colleague about that film years ago which, with the benefit of hindsight, was clearly her trying to tip me the wink that she was gay. I could get a bit teary thinking about that too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kermode and Mayo film show call this AALS. Altitude adjusted lacrimosity syndrome. Loads of folk have written in over the years to say they’ve found themselves inexplicably blubbing at stuff they’ve watched on a plane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandcowden Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 bit in mad max beyond thunderdome when the plane is heading down the runway then the lorry with max appears overtaking it and you realise hes going to sacrifice himself to give them room to take off the bit in the original "all quiet on the western front" when the line of german soldiers marches off and they start to turn and look at the camera and its all the ones who were killed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
