Movies That Get You Emotional

[cofrader]

Recently saw yet again the lord of the ring two towers and I notice the scene when Eomer comes to the help of the king on helms deep gets me, I don’t know why it works but it does.
Which movie scenes gets you emotional or make you cry?

There isn't really any but if you want to extend it to video games. Metal gear solid 3 and both last of Us games get a good emotional response from me.

I was kinda expecting from a male friend, as a joke. Since this is ask straight men is there something you would like to declare?
But anyway, guilty, It also got me brave heart freedom scene, there is something about epic movies with me.

Even after many viewings I still find myself getting misty eyed when either E.T. or Spock dies, even though I know they're both faking it and will come back .

Beyond that I will admit I do sometimes get too deep into some movies and feel some emotional attachment to certain characters and situations especially if it's the death of a character that the audience had an investment in or the death of a character's love interest. Ditto if the death scene involves an innocent character like a child or if I had personal experience with the situation, like a friend committing suicide.

In fact, even though emotional "chick flicks" are primarily meant to appeal to the emotions of women, I think the mark of a truly successful classic is one that it manages to reach the male audience as well.

BTW, as a side note I think this question might be better served (and get more answers) if it's reposted in the general Ask a Man, as I don't think there is a difference in how straight men respond to movies than any other orientation.

Why not, I haven’t payed it but since games become huge productions makes sense, the most I got from a game was fear with alone in the dark polygons figures, Stone Age of games.

Final battle in Mass Effect 2. I stupidly made the wrong decisions and failed to upgrade the ship; resulting in losing almost all my characters. I was an emotional wreck for almost a week afterwards .

Lool. Think I did every combination to see what it looked like. The funniest one is where everyone dies except Joker lol

Et was a low punch, how did I forgot Spock death even if I only saw the movies of the original series it got me.
Challenge accepted, I will create another for ask a man, I assumed other orientations would be more connected or socially accepted but maybe you are right boys don’t cry was for all of us.

You got to at least watch the into to the last of Us. Games have done a very long way

I get this way watching "Band of Brothers" the episode that really hits me hard is when they find the concentration camp.Its really hard to explain unless you watch it. My great uncle was one of the first to liberate Dachau in April 1945. He wouldn't even talk about it except to say that yes he was there and that it was worse than one can imagine.

Thank you. He was a really good man who served with the 45th Infantry..fought at Anxious throughout Italy and of course Dachau. I was told not to ask him about the war. I would have loved to hear them but I learned later on when he tried to talk about it he would get choked up then get angry so no one wanted to upset him. He passed nineteen years ago.

I had a kind of similar situation. One grandfather drove a truck in Normandy and other parts of France, but being in the rear saw little action and would tell many stories. My other grandfather was in the Marines and all I ever knew is that he was at Iwo Jima and limped from some injury incurred. He never discussed it and the grandchildren were instructed to never ask.
