*Your most emotional movie viewing experience*

Quantum Floral Arrangements: "We Have Petals Everywhere"
What film(either viewing at home or in the theatre) has just emotionally wrought you? You know what I mean. The moment comes, you try to fight back the emotion, but fail. You've got tears collecting, you're sobbing, the tears are now rolling all down your face. Was it a sad moment in the film, or did you relate to it? Why did you react so strongly to the moment on the screen?
Mine is without a doubt, Toy Story 3. The Toy Story films are so dear to my heart. The first film I ever saw was the first Toy Story when I was but a wee laddie. I had Woody and Buzz toys growing up that always entertained me, and the characters became real to me, like family. We had great times, Woody, Buzz, and I. As I grew up I waited for another Toy Story film, but nothing ever came. Fast forward to 2010 and we get Toy Story 3. At this time in my life, like Andy, I am nearing the time where I will be leaving the familiar and going off to college. The film isn't just an animated adventure, it spoke to me like no other animated film did before. We see through Andy that toys aren't just toys. They are memories we will always cherish and hold on to. No matter what I do, that ending gets me every time, from the moment Andy picks up Woody to the last shot of the clouds that started it all(it was in the theatre too)...Thank you Woody, thank you Buzz.
So, what is your most emotional movie viewing experience? What movie touched your heartstrings and let out your emotions like no other?

Everyone deserves to see it at least once. Everyone.
I don't watch sad movies anymore. I cant even make it through home videos. :/
What Dreams May Come (1998) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120889/
Starring: Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Annabella Sciorra
Without a doubt, I cry like a B#%#$, haha. Seriously.
Watch it.
This happens to be one of the best films ever made, (that`s a fact!) and always has me welling up, although not entirely with sadness, more from the shear act of the rare moment of human goodwill.....oh dear...............think I`m going............. :-S
I know its not a 'movie' but there was a short animated film called Grandpa made in 1989. It was directed by Dianne Jackson who had previously adapted The Snowman into a film. UK fans will probably know The Snowman, which is regarded as a Christmas classic here.
Anyway this film is about a little girl who goes to visit her elderly frail grandpa and the two experience a dream like fantasy world.
The inevitable ending had me in tears as a kid. That's the only time I really remember crying watching a film.
Schindler's List was also a very emotional for me, especially the last 15 minutes.
And the last scene of About Schmidt.
Aaaand the end of Planes Trains & Automobiles.
I can see why. Touching moment this.
Okay, I cried a minor few times:
* Spirited Away: such a beautiful, heart warming film.
* Lost In Translation:
* Dances With Wolves:
* Ben-Hur: I was it in the theatre in '96 as part of a retro-thing. Roszca's score in the third act never fails to move me.
this is also a great one

I used to have a stammer when I was younger and when he gave that speech at the start of WW2 I just lost it. Knowing what people who struggle with a stammer have to go through really touched me. And trying to hide my tears from my date.
Which is a bit strange I know, but all I thought about while watching that movie was of my two boys who were of course safely asleep in their beds upstairs. Still something rang to my heart as a father and I started tearing up (just a bit) when he finally got to his family.
It's the use of that cover of the Paul Young classic Every Time You Go Away, isn't it? Gets you, er, every time. :p
As an adult, it'd probably be about ten years ago when I saw In The Name Of The Father all the way through for the first time - I was right there punching the air with the campaigners outside the court, I tell you. ;)
In the realm of Bond, by the way, the end of OHMSS always gets me - often leaving me with a lump in the throat - must admit...
In my personal case I can mention Meet Joe Black, precisely when Anthony Hopkins and his daughter are dancing near the end and he's saying goodbye to her.
Another one is the end of Big Fish, when the son tells back the story to Albert Finney's character in the hospital.
Those are real knotted throat/teary eye instigators... for me at least.
One of the most beautiful films I've seen. Have tissues with you! ;)
Passion Of The Christ... I am not an overly religious person, but seeing a good man getting beaten relentlessly was just too much for me.
Titanic... I was young when i saw this, so it was a tear jerker.. a lot of people enjoy bashing this movie nowadays - like any hyped up movie of the time, but i still enjoy it... the ending is still a little rough to watch - but it's not Jack's death that gets me like when i was younger.. now, it's when Rose's spirit returns to the Titanic and she's among all those that died, and Jack is waiting for her by the staircase... I'm a 27 year old man, and that part still tugs at my heart strings.
Kill The Irishman.. the very end, when Danny Greene knows he's been setup, and is going to be killed, and he gives his necklace to the young boy... even though Greene was a gangster, and then fought against and single-handedly brought down the mob - there was something honorable about the man - and i hate seeing men like that go.
War Horse.. I had a real tough time fighting back tears through this one as well... wont spoil anything for those who havent seen it... but it's a good flick - it wont have you sobbing, but if you don't feel a little tug at your heart by the end of the movie, then you have no soul lol.
Casino Royale... i wasn't tearing up or bawling my eyes out, but sue me - i bought in to his and Vesper's relationship - which is even more remarkable, because i knew how it was going to end because i had read the novel a few years before... i legitimately felt bad for Bond.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service - for pretty much the same reasons as above for CR, although i haven't read the novel.
I even had to pause the film at times to pull myself together.
Agreed, definitely had an impact on a returner of the series. And even enough on a newcomer. The ending definitely.. turned things around for me. I was happy.
