MA Then what, Tom? TOM Then it don't matter. Then I'll be all aroun' in the dark. I'll be ever'where--wherever you look. Wherever there's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad--an'I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready. An' when our people eat the stuff they raise, an' live in the houses they build, why, I'll be there too. MA (slowly) I don't understan' it, Tom. TOM (dryly) Me neither. (Rising) It's jus' stuff I been thinkin' about. Gimme you han', Ma. Good-by. (He climbs over the fence) *sighs* Can ya tell I was raised by hard workin' factory workin folks? LOL
Originally Posted By Inspector 57 I grew up outside a small village in a very rural area. Small school, not many activities or special events. It was a big deal when they'd show a relatively recent movie at school. 5th grade. End of the year. Afternoon of a school day. The other two fifth-grade classes and all three of the sixth-grade classes were crowded into my homeroom with us. We were all sitting or laying on the linoleum floor. One hundred or so of us. The event was that we got to watch "Bambi." One of the characters in the movie was a hunter. He stalked his prey. He shot. He killed. Ninety-nine redneck kids cheered. I cried. Don't even ask me about gym class.

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 I went to see "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" with a couple of co-workers shortly after it came out.

About a third into the movie, tears started flowing down my face. They wouldn't/didn't stop. About two-thirds into the movie, the "wet eyes" turned into crying and wouldn't let up. When the movie ended, I was crying harder than before. I was embarrassed to be so out of control in front of Dave; I beelined for the bathroom. I sobbed in there for two or three minutes before I could get enough control to come out and talk. Our "date" ended up fine. Peggy and Dave were also touched by the movie. I convinced them that I was fine; they convinced me that they were perfectly okay going out for drinks, as planned, even with my red and swollen face. We talked about it. It ended up being very nice. I still don't know why the movie hit me that hard. It still makes me cry when I watch it on DVD.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo What's Eating Gilbert Grape also gets me. Also, Glory, in the end scene where they all get barried together, makes me howel. Mrs Doubtfire made me cry the 1st time I saw it. And how could I forget about ET? Cocoon made me cry as well. Man, I'm a wreck. Inspector, I empathise. when doing my AA, I was 18, in history class, and we were watching Glory - I cried like a baby. How embarrassing. I did get a date out of it though! Ghost is another one that gets me.
Originally Posted By jasmine7 Thought of a couple of more. Pocahontas makes me bawl, especially the reedited version with "If I Never Knew You." As soon as that music picks up as the ship is pulling away, and Poca starts to run after it, here come the tears! Pay It Forward is a good tearjerker. Armageddon also gets me, especially when Liv Tyler's character is saying goodbye to her dad. I had to watch both of those movies (along with Powder) in my religious studies class a couple of years ago, and I was bawling in class, lol.

I get a little misty thinking about the end even though I haven't seen it in maybe 20 or more years.

I remember it fondly from my childhood, and I'm looking forward to see how it will hold up to my adult self.
