Ignore the last post. After watching all 3 Lord of the Rings movies… For Frodo gets me every time. So subtle, yet so powerful.
Taking Chance is the most recent movie to make me teary eyed. Powerful movie…
Riding in Cars With Boys…
When Steve Zahn has to leave because he’s addicted to heroin and fucking up his young family.
He tells his son he has to go away and the kid doesn’t understand, then starts saying “If you stay I promise I’ll be good”…that starts me off.
Then as Steve Zahn is going out the door, the kid is packing his toothbrush and his toys into his back pack and chasing his dad down the street barefoot and screaming at him to wait as he speeds away.
Made worse by the fact that the kid looks exactly like my brother did when he was little.
GOD DAMN STUPID THREAD

That reminds me…the part where Aragorn is recrowned and the Hobbits were about to bow…then Aragorn says to them “My friends, you bow to no one.”
Land Before Time, the death of Little Foot’s mother; the way she talks to him as she’s dying just kills me.

Ahhh yes. I’d forgotten about that. Given more weight because you knew that the majority of people around there were probably only even aware of what Frodo and the Hobbits did via second hand gossip. It was Aragorn’s way of telling everyone what a bunch of badasses these dudes were - telling them what you already knew. Great scene. 
Here is the full Jurassic Bark episode:
Also, just like everything else, you have to watch the whole movie, but The Way Back is definitely on my list.

The thing that grieves me the most in real life is kids that are in the hospital, in a wheelchair or suffering from a terminal disease.
It’s so sad that it damn near fills me with rage.

Spoke with a kid today who was born missing both legs from mid-femur down, missing right arm (elbow disartic) and bad neuropathy in the only limb he had left. All of this was congenital. Made me feel genuinely thankful for what I have…
Yeah, I mean I really don’t want to say it’s pity, but seeing kids that haven’t had the chance to do much of anything fun and likely never will breaks my heart. I get an extra layer of grief by thinking about their parents that may feel an strange guilt about it all.

That cover of Hallelujah was quite possibly the most horrendous thing I ever heard. Lisa Gerrard did a magnificent job, no one will top it.
The scene was very sad though =/

One of my friends had to go help in some hospital (I think it’s part of his degree education) for children with terminal diseases, mostly cancer. It was very sad just to read, especially for me, since cancer took away loved people when I was just a kid.
Then the other day a friend posted in his FB a quote about “cancer being the easiest disease to prevent” and I snapped at him.
Touching the Void - the part where Joe Simpson recalls, after having dragged himself down the mountain with his shattered leg, was pulling himself over the rocks towards base camp - not because he was hoping to be resuced, but because he didn’t want to die alone.
Million Dollar Baby…where Clint unplugs her and shoots her full of epi. Sad times.
