Which Film Scene has got you. I mean REALLY got you ?

[Uncle Spielberg]

In Love Actually, when Emma Thompson's character excitedly chooses a Christmas present to open, imagining it to be a beautiful necklace she knows her husband, played by Alan Rickman, to have bought. When she opens it, she discovers he's bought her a Joni Mitchell CD, and given the necklace to his secretary.

That moment when she does the brief sob, followed by the very British stiff upper lip, mustn't grumble, put-a-brave-face-on-it for the kids' school play, gets me every time.

Or, like several people, it seems, "You had me at hello"

moon, solaris, and oblivion all have some moments that capture the awe of the love of humanity.

The end scene in Cool Runnings. Every bloody time

 

[Craig4004]

My Dog Skip. The bit at the end where it's being narrated and the dog dies on the lad's bed. Every bloody time.

On the subject of crying at things we watch, anyone else blub watching that Robinson's advert...my excuse is I've got a 7 month old son but it kills me every time I see it.

You are very unlike your user name then, cats kill with impunity

You are very unlike your user name then, cats kill with impunity

As do many animals: what's the big deal with cats doing it?

For me it was the greenhouse scene in Scum.

You've got me going again now Edna and when she smooths the bed sheet down with her hand when there isn't any creases on it the poor women doesn't know which way to turn
All this playing out while Joni Mitchell is singing "both sides now" in the background

The Girl On The Bridge (La Fille Sur Le Pont), a magically quirky French film with Vanessa Paradis and Daniel Auteuil, with some truly poignant moments.

Oh dear, Edna. Cats are the worst killers in the uk after KFC,

[Cold Gettin Dumb]

For me, it's the early 70s sci fi film Silent Running.
It's about a botanist on a space station who is in charge of the last of earths plant life, ends up killing himself.
Very grim story for a Disney film...
Dunno what it is, maybe it's a strong reminder of being a really young kid when I first saw it, but when I saw it again in the mid 90s (I was about 25), it destroyed me. I couldn't get a grip for a couple or more hours.
I still can't watch it now.
There's a song in it called 'Rejoice In The Sun by Joan Baez. Just ruins me when it comes on in the film.
I must confess that I refused to watch Schindlers List with my flat mate & his lady. I booked in to watch it on my own as I knew I was going to find it impossible not to blub.
Yeah, I must be too soft, but I like to think it maybe makes me more 'human' than some.
