Seeing Private Ryan in a theater on a large screen, the sound of bullets buzzing all over, was as good as anything since Citizen Kane, had the movie ended after the first 20 mins. After that it got all Spielbergious.

Dead Poets definitely did it to me first time in the theater. Don't want to risk seeing it again tho…

Yes, the Depardieu Cyrano is immaculate.

How 'bout the end of Mr. Holland's Opus? Anyone get suckered in by that?

Have you ever read the book, RW? 100 times more moving than the movie, good as it is. Shawshank still beats it tho (another amazing book, actually).

I've mentioned this up-post but yeah, last shot of VLE - great.

Tons of Fiddler moments for me. Even just the bottle dance wells me up cuz it's so gorgeous. Hava being disowned, PMGlaser dying…

Absolutely the last shot of Very Long Engagement. Esp since I didn't love the movie that much.

Tristaic, Jewish kids are shown the film footage of concentration camps with mountains of dead bodies being bulldozed at a *very* early age in Sunday school. It does fuck you up for life.

The scene in Sixth Sense that does it for me is the videotape at the little girl's funeral.

I'm not Christian or religious but I get your reluctance. It's why I can't bring myself to watch Common Threads, the story of the AIDS quilt, tho it's supposed to be a great film.

Teddy was my favorite character in AI. Not much of a compliment but I loved that guy.

Titicut is a hard movie to take.

omg yes, the end of Sense & Sensibility kills me.

Fisher King has many well-earned bawling moments. The dancing in Grand Central Station definitely did it to me.

LOL on Chicken Run. I totally get that.

I get what you're saying, tho Zach did have a lot of ground to cover, esp w/two eps to review. I appreciated the background on the original script since I wouldn't research that myself, and maybe cuz the ep is soooooo famous he felt less need for a full plot recap.

There's a punk band called No Kill I.

You're leaving out my favorite part of the explanation for Spock's ears - how Kirk's friend is "obviously Chinese," hence the rice-picker. Classic.

For me it's always and forever about Devil's Backbone.
