Everything in the films leads up to that moment and the weight of the actual situation is extremely powerful. When she finds out her daughter is still alive is powerful as well. but for most powerful, definitely bill's last moments.Andre Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170879111034420803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-76012070932250722542011-03-24T16:31:45.619-04:002011-03-24T16:31:45.619-04:00In Kill Bill, I'm surprised you put the "...In Kill Bill, I'm surprised you put the "You overreacted" moment before the part where she realizes her daughter is still alive.

Their "remembering" scene in the finale gets me every time.<br /><br />As I'll write in my own post, the scene that gets me EVERY time is Vincent coming to Jack's side in the final moments.<br /><br />I think I have something in my eye.Dodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13555228849584962346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-49538983193432898102011-03-23T07:57:55.905-04:002011-03-23T07:57:55.905-04:00Hey no disagreements from me!

That just rips me apart.<br />And when Juliet is getting pulled into that hole, and Sawyer is reaching out. It's like he isn't just terrified of losing her, but also the man he's become.<br />GREAT POST!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-29216147094138648182011-03-22T12:00:44.238-04:002011-03-22T12:00:44.238-04:00don't get me wrong deaner, I bawled throughout...don't get me wrong deaner, I bawled throughout most of Toy Story 3!Andre Dumashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170879111034420803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-18337944305411437622011-03-22T11:18:07.231-04:002011-03-22T11:18:07.231-04:00Speaking of getting "attached" to E.T. ...Speaking of getting "attached" to E.T.

What a strange subject to bring up in a horror blog!!<br /> All kidding aside, the great thing with cinema is there are so many 'powerful cinematic moments', and we all have them don't we!!<br /> One of mine is the very final scene of The Bridges of Madison County where the children are scattering their mother's ashes and she is narrating 'Go well my children'. Gets me everytime and the tears start follwing!! It is a lovely ending to a truley beautiful film.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-29872997043058138042011-03-22T00:50:07.823-04:002011-03-22T00:50:07.823-04:00The LOST finale kills me like nothing else - I hav...The LOST finale kills me like nothing else - I have watched it 3 times now, and always have soggy wadded kleenex piled up next to me starting with the very first shot. <br /><br />The only thing that came close before that was when Frodo leaves with the Elfen folk on their ship. I never understood why he leaves, but just that he does kills me every time. <br /><br />Before that was the last half hour of Shawshank. I'd seen it many times, then watched it once with the Columbian Day parade in Queens going on right outside my window (pretty much the decibel level of an airplane taking off) and even with no sound and thousands of Columbian folks celebrating their heritage very loudly nearby - I still cried through the whole freaking thing. <br /><br />Other than that the only other moment that comes to me right now is in The Deep when the alien ship thing surfaces. It always gives me a freaked out but completely awe-filled feeling.<br /><br />I love this post BTW!!!Crafty Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06777522080677716294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-47097054137020966912011-03-21T21:35:40.334-04:002011-03-21T21:35:40.334-04:00Man that's a lot to think about.

I'm not the HUGEST fan of the film version of To Kill a Mockingbird just because I was so close to the novel, but that moment you wrote about sticks with me to perfection. <br /><br />A few other random ones that come to mind...<br /><br />-the final scene in Parenthood, where we just watch all the family members in the hospital with a bunch o' babies<br /><br />-WALL-E and Eve's space dance<br /><br />-another space moment, just cause I'm already there: the captain's death in Sunshine. The sound and visuals bring me to tears<br /><br />-the final song in The Muppet Movie<br /><br />man, lots more to think about! Plus I echo everyone here: any scene ever involving Desmond and Penelope.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-4148422451620782782011-03-21T20:10:18.054-04:002011-03-21T20:10:18.054-04:00Oh, my god, the Desmond-Penny phone call.

I might substitute the opera music/PA scene, or the beers on the roof scene, but the whole point is that this whole movie rules the school.<br /><br />My list might include, along with Shawshank:<br />The final revelation in The Limey.<br />The funeral scene from Big Fish.<br />Dustin Hoffman breaking up the wedding in The Graduate (or, Wayne Campbell breaking up the RIGHT wedding in Wayne's World 2!)<br />The communication/music scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind<br />And probably something from the end of Rushmore with Max and Margaret Yang.<br /><br />Yup, that's about it.The Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09871017982169159144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-88227831427839973372011-03-21T19:12:17.258-04:002011-03-21T19:12:17.258-04:00I was thinking recently of doing a post about some...I was thinking recently of doing a post about some moments that make me say "I've got something in my eye." <br /><br />Maybe I should expand it to be something like this.<br /><br />I can tell you right now, as divisive as it is among fans, I will have to list the "realization" scenes and the final moments of the LOST finale.

I know it will end me!<br /><br />While I was reading your awesome list I had a hard time thinking of moments of my own but came up with a few:<br /><br />The last shot in Prototype which is a TV movie that takes Frankenstein and makes it about a cyborg. Surprisingly moving film. I cried for about two hours.<br /><br />The end of Gran Torino. Oh man, tears.<br /><br />The scene of Peter Falk smashing the car windows in Griffin and Phoenix. I won't say where that scene comes in, in case you never saw the movie, but it's so beautiful and sad. <br /><br />And Nestor's mom biting the big one in Nestor The Long Earred Donkey! <br /><br />Oh, and ALL of Elephant Man. <br /><br />Only two of those weren't made for TV, which shows you where I get most of my entertainment. I should do something like this with TV shows. Elaine's death on SOAP would proably be in my top three!Amanda By Nighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910620012465381103noreply@blogger.com
