  There's lots more. I cry a lot at movies.

    Barefoot Gen is a tear-jerker too... anime about a little boy (the author) who survived the Hiroshima bombing. Think it is out of print now though.

    Especially the part where they destroy his model church...
    Did that actually happen, or am I imagining something? Either way, I got all choked-up during that film.

    I agree on the original Goodbye Mr. Chips and would also add Shane.

  Cinema Paradiso?

  The local theatre I saw this in, where I've seen so many movies during my childhood, is a Macaroni Grill NOW...

  Paradiso was the last movie it played.

  "Finding Neverland" ending was a recent throat-lumper. The "You'll be here" line in ET's closing scene rivals any teary-eyed movie moment.

  The last one that choked me up was Down In The Valley.
  Then there's Five Easy Pieces.
  Eraserhead also touches that tender spot of the heart, for me.
  The big one, though HAS to be Goodbye Mr Chips.

    Eraserhead?

    I remember it being very strange, but not on a teary emotional level. But then it's been almost 30 years since I've seen it.

    I would recommend you bring this up with your therapist...

    I thought I was the ONLY person who ever got choked up at this movie! This was the movie that immediately came to mind when I read his post. I can deal with stuff that happens to humans, because I have never been able to get so attached to a movie that I forget that the actors are only acting. But animals... that stuff gets to me sometimes. Especially when they "get" hurt on screen.
    Dogs most of all...
    I secretly smile inside when I see a cat get hurt in a movie... but don't tell any of the guys over at the cooler... ;D

      if you can't suspend your disbeilief enouigh to lose yourself in a move. I don't understand how they could be enjoyable otherwise unless watchign as a technical reviewer to judge the skills of the actors which i suppose could offer a certain reward.Do you really mean to say "never"?

        I don't really think, "This is only a movie." It's just that, with animals, even though they say that no animals are hurt during the filming, you gotta wonder... it's not as if a dog can file a complaint, right?
        I can certainly get engrossed in a movie, it's just different with animals...
        Cheers,

          Isn't there some organization that monitors the handling of aniamls during filming of a motion picture? They usually run a credit at the end of the film regarding this.

  ...the final scene with the little girl looking for her friend, is as moving a scene as I've ever seen. In another oldie, when Gary Cooper & Joan Leslie cross the bridge, to their new home in "Sgt York," I get a little misty. When Walter Huston & Mary Astor are reunited in "Dodsworth," that gets to me, too. How about "Brian's Song?" "To Kill A Mockingbird," with Robert Duvall(Boo Radley) and the little girl? How about the last scene in "City Lights?" Chaplin and the rose. Wow, I'm a total wuss. I can't think of all the movies that have moved me.
