Is there something wrong with me?

This scene, from the otherwise unremarkable movie, "Act of Valor", always makes me tear up and cry...

That's a great scene. As you noted, the movie was otherwise unremarkable.

i think we all have those moments in films based on our experiences and moods, for my Dad it was the last part of the Alamo everytime

for me before i became a father, Sean Connerys death in untouchables, the last moments of Private Ryan where he wants his family to tell him he was a good man, and more recently every goddam child/parent seperation scene, mainly prevalent in Disney/Pixar films and whilst im not alone, i dont understand why, but the last 10 minutes of Dark Knight Rises, the music, the funeral, the realisation hes not dead, the scene at the restaurant table with Michael Caine

^ Saving Private Ryan has me crying within the first five minutes. How about the last scene in Braveheart? Or when Maximus dies in Gladiator? Those get me too...

Most recently, I almost broke down a couple times in 13 Hours in Benghazi. I was with my older brother though, so I had to choke it back.

I still cry when Bambi's mom dies.

yup, usually accompanied by a stifled sob when Kirk breaks in the eulogy

and i actually got teary at the switch in the new Trek film when Kirk goes and Spock is left to scream Khan

and JH is right, Braveheart but more the charge right at the end at Bannockburn with the 'warrior poets' voiceover

"Glory" when the Colonel gets killed leading the charge against Fort Wagner. When my wife and I went to see Pearl Harbor at the theater, I was the only person in the place that got the joke at the end about the Dyslexia- Headstone. While everyone else was crying tears, I laughed out loud and got looks of abject hatred from my fellow movie-goers.

Oh yeah. That gets me too.

Heck, I start up at "Give 'em hell, 54th!"


I cry about the final Dark Knight movie being so aggressively stupid all the time, but not really with it.  I could be persuaded to cry about how I ought to have been crying at the end, though.

True story, that I'm sure I've told here before. Back when Bro was dating Ishy, he brought her over to the family house to watch ST2 because... man I really don't know why. She is not a fan of such movies AT ALL. It did lead to a hilarious moment at the end when, after Bro and I were finished sniffling through the funeral (and all the preliminaries and the discussion between Kirk and Son afterward), and everyone's standing around on deck for the final scene looking at the planet, Ishy pipes up and asks:

"Where's Spock?"

"...uh, well, you'll see. They meant to shoot him into orbit around the planet, but there's a final scene coming."

"They shot him into orbit around the planet?"

"Yeah, the way it's filmed is a bit confusing, because the special effects team made it look like they shot his casket directly at the planet."

"His casket?!"

"Yeah, that was him in the photon torpedo container. They weren't just having a memorial funeral, his body was in the that container they were using as a casket. Although I guess that could have been made clearer by showing them closing it or -- "

"SPOCK DIED!?!"


Her tone and the look on her face and on Bro's face when he's trying to process what she could have possibly thought she was watching in the past 10 or 15 minutes... I literally fell out of my chair laughing. I nearly passed out.

Watched that movie again recently trying to figure out if I could make a G-ish edit for the nieces (answer: not very plausibly), still choked up at the end and in various other scenes.

Yes, but our posts have a 20k character limit, so I'll just mail you the book separately...   ;D

JH,
when your baby girl gets to be about 12-14, watch "The Fault In Our Stars" together. You'll cry for the death and you'll cry because your baby girl is growing up.
