I don't care if you wanna diss me but Tree of Life really got to me, yo. It practically mirrored the relationship I had with my father. I'm just glad I didn't see that shit in theatres cuz I had tears streaming down my face.

43. "I can't take that movie seriously no more" In response to Reply # 20
I know it's sad, but I remember back in the day this friend was always clowning that movie, going "His glaaaaaases! He can't see without his glaaaaaaasssses!"
Put that with the fact that my mind lumps the scene with Culkin and the bees with Chris Farley in Tommy Boy going "BEES BEES! YOUR FIREARMS ARE USELESS AGAINST THEM!!!!"

as for me, they *almost* got me with that scene with telling of the story about the candelabra being traded for the family patriarch in "Down In the Delta"
note: since I've had my sons the blatant heart-tuggers with dads and father are problematic in general

>I've seen Toy Story 3 about 4 times, no part of that movie >had me even slightly emotional. Feel me in on what part >should I have gotten misty-eyed on.
the part in the end when andy is giving his toys to the little girl is what got to me and got to others as well.
89. "2 parts in particular" In response to Reply # 34
As mentioned, when Andy is giving his toys away. You see he has a connection with them all, especially Woody, who he doesn't really want to give up.
And when the toys were about to me incenerated. When Jessie asks Buzz what are going to do all he can do is offer his hand. That shit was like 'we're gonna die. All we can do is die together'. Even though you knew they were going to get out of that jam, that scene was tough.

When Marlin finally finds Nemo I lose my shit every time. I suppose having to fight for custody of my son had something to do with it, but I can't watch the last 10 minutes without bawling like a 6 month old

Both of those Mizoguchi joints are sad as FUCK. I forget which one had the last shot of dude holding his blind mother, but man you gotta be a robot to not be affected by it.

Why the hell my wife wanted to watch that while we were away for our anniversary I'll never know. Had both of us curled up in tears when they put the dog down.
Doesn't help that I've had 2 dogs put down in my life either.

63. "4 LITTLE GIRLS and BAMBOOZLED - a scene in each" In response to Reply # 0
4 LITTLE GIRLS - the interview with the mother (grandmother?) when she explains how she doesn't hate the people who murdered her child, how it's hard, some days more than others, but she gets through it. I literally tear up thinking about the scene. BAMBOOZLED - the scene where Tommy Davidson quits the show, he's in the dance studio with Savion Glover, trying to explain to Savion why they both should quit, Savion's not hearing it, then Tommy puts his hand over his face and goes into his "massa" routine. Watching Tommy do that, go through that transformation, it was so simple, you could argue rudimentary, but he hits this note when he does it that knocks me out. It's the one point where the movie seems to stop for a moment. It catches me every time.
If you would have asked me to pick a director that will make me cry, I don't think Spike Lee would have been my first pick. But those two scenes do it without fail.
