Movie that Made Me Cry (shed a few manly tears of sorrow)

It's obvious when it hit me. It hit me hard the first time, too. I recommend this movie highly, it's a powerful story of friendship.

One word: laundry.

Two parts got me: When the army officials were arriving to bring the news to the mother of her 3 sons' deaths, and the scene in the field when the soldier was dying and crying for his mother.

Two parts got me here too: When Deacon recognized the German soldier from his mission, and toward the end with the cigarette.

The whole movie is powerful, emotional, sad and depressing, but the part that got me was the end when Schindler was realizing how many more people he could've saved.

This movie gets me every time at the end. It makes me feel gracious for everything I have, and it warms the heart and helps you remember the power of human kindness.

The color-blind test scene.

At the end when he's bringing his father down to the river, and all his friends are there.

Kinda obvious when.

The scene that contains the picture on the left

When he loses Wilson at sea. For the 4 years he was on that island, Wilson was the closest thing to human companionship he had. So when he lost him, I bet that was the loneliest he ever felt. It finally pushed him over the edge and he realized how alone and hopeless he was.

The ending, when he's banging on the wall.

I'd heard this was a tear-jerker and I told myself I wasn't gonna get suckered into crying. I was wrong.

When emotions run high.

The rock-bottom ending.

When he was hitting his brother, who didn't have a clue why.

Not a dry eye in the audience at the end. I've never heard it so silent leaving a theater.

Without spoiling anything, I expected something tragic to happen, but the magnitude of it was completely unexpected and hit ALL of us hard at the theater. So many people were crying.

The ending.

Ok, let me explain this one: First of all, this movie hits home for me. It's not only a phenomenal Christmas movie, but it's a lot about family and tradition; it's extremely relatable for me. It hits me twice: The scene toward the end when his father lives vicariously though his son as he opens his "final gift," and the scene when Ralphie's mother stops his fight, and he starts to cry. The latter scene hits me, as I was no stranger to being bullied as a kid, but I never had the courage, nor was I ever pushed far enough, to feel so beaten and cornered to lash out like he did, so I emotionally empathized with Ralphie, poor guy. And the way his brother looked out for him by grabbing both his glasses and mother, and even FURTHER, the way his mom avoided telling the details of the fight to Ralphie's dad, leading to the source of the final tear down my cheek, when Narrator Ralphie explains that after that, his relationship with his mother had grown ("From then on, things were different between me and my mother").

Childhood classic emotional ride. Not just the ending, but the "axe" scene always kinda got to me as well.
