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.
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.
