Most emotional movie moment in a theater

List yours.

I think the last scene of Endgame with Cap and the Hammer and everyone reappearing was one of my tops.

The end of Empire Strikes Back got me.

But when I went to see My Girl with my folks, it was the first time I think I saw the whole damn theater crying.

Rudy got me. When his dad and brother look around the stands at everyone chanting his name… yeah, that got me.

That whole ending was intense. The Dads grief was so genuinely acted I thought.

I was in a 3-D Imax theater watching the James Cameron movie about life at the bottom of the ocean and how it can be a model for space exploration

When the movie finished I was in complete awe of life and how it finds a way to continue

Then some guy behind me say “It was pretty good, but not as good as the NASCAR one”

I don’t think I stopped bitching about him for the rest of the night

The movie “Hardball” with Keanu Reeves when G-Baby gets shot and dies. That got me good.

OK, when Bambi’s mother died. When Old Yeller died. “To Kill a Mocking Bird” and yes if you know the right places you can still see it on the big screen. “Of Mice and Men” when Lennie is killed by George. Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid when Chill Wills character is shot and dying and has a last conversation with his wife.

Yep thought of this instantly. Also Tony dying was rough.

Hanks dying in Saving Private Ryan. Travolta (I know) dying in Phenomenon.

How can I forget John Coffey in The Green Mile? Maybe the worst one.

The green mile ending. That one hit hardest when Jon Coffey was executed.

That happenned at the end of “Love Story” with Ryan O’Neil and Ali McGraw. Except when I saw it, we were on an 11th grade class trip. A few of us got high during the movie and were laughing hysterically.

Man there’s a lot of good ones here and they’ve hit a lot of good notes and chords that I would agree with and have the same experience.

Live theater is a lot more emotionally impactful than a movie, at least for me. While I haven’t seen the second movie( which is essentially the after intermission of the stage Musical), the big number at the end of Wicked, (which if you don’t know is the song For Good), about the friendship between Glinda and Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West, was the absolute biggest Water Works moment for me in public ever. Good thing it was really dark… saw it in Chicago with the closest most in tune female friend I’ve ever made and it described our friendship perfectly.

I sure did. Knowingly, however!
