We've had,Horror,Comedy,Action etc etc.But what films break through the rugged exterior and pull at the heart strings,the tear in the eye,the quivering bottom lip and so on.I don't know why,but I saw Field Of Dreams again recently,and got a lump in my throat.. :crying:

There are so many........The Family Stone was a very emotional movie for me to watch. I went to see "Reign Over Me" yesterday, and that movie caused me to well up at least once.

 

So, actually..............quite a few.....

It's already pretty well documented on the board but the hospital seen with the Kate Bush song playing in She's Having a Baby kills me every time.

 

Another is the a scene from a movie called Permanent Record. Not a very well known movie but did have Keanu Reeves in it. Long story short an overwhelmed teenager(Michael Elgart) kills himself by jumping off a cliff. At first everyone thinks he fell accidentally. The movie is about how his friends handle it and finding out it was suicide. Keanu Reves plays his best friend. Long story short, the students and school decide to dedicate the School's yearly musical to him. They are told that they can't by the school board. Halfway through the show, the dude's sorta girlfriend(Jennifer Rubin) stops and then starts singing a song that Keanu wrote. Students are crying, teachers are crying, even the drama teacher and principal are crying. By the time the scene was over, I was crying. Great movie that was seen by very few, but made a huge impression on my sappy ass.

 

Anyone else remember Permanent Record?

When Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog got married at the end of "The Muppets Take Manhattan," I cried like a little girl.

 

No, I'm not kidding. I'm dead serious. And I was about 18 at the time!!

What no Titanic? I though for sure you guys would get choked up when Leonardo DeCapricock dies at the end.

 

Don't even get me STARTED on Titanic. I actually enjoyed that movie when I first saw it in theatres, I took my wife (who was still my girlfriend then) to see it. But when that f**king movie first premiered on HBO about a year later she watched it SO many g*ddamn times that I never, ever, EVER want to see it again... and I swear I WILL punch Leonardo in the face if I ever meet him in person. :angry:

 

Then my brother had to add insult to injury by buying her "Titanic" on DVD for Christmas a couple of years ago. I was like "Gee, THANKS bro!" :angry:

What a nice topic, here's my story.

About a year and a half ago I went with my then 4 year old son to "Pooh's Heffalump Movie" an animated Disney movie aimed at the 0-8 crowd.

The big themes of the movie were "acceptance" and "friendship".

I had the kid sitting on my lap laughing and connecting with what went on on the big screen, it was the ultimate movie to see with a kid of that age and I'm pretty sure the dad liked it as much as his son.

When the very sweetly voiced main characters Lumpy and Little Roo finally got back together after a dangerous adventure and they ran towards each other a HUGE anthemic Carly Simon sung song blasted out of the speakers over scenes of Lumpy and Roo re-uniting and being really happy and my eyes filled up really fast right there and then.

 

You know, it's Disney.

They do these things really well, it's not for nothing the Disney Empire got so big and famous.

"Saving Private Ryan"

"Forrest Gump" Last part

"Brian's Song" TV movie about Brian Piccolo of the Chicago Bears

I got a bit misty eyed in "World Trade Center"

"She's Having A Baby" Yeah the Kate Bush scene

I was going to say Titani.......but I fear the wrath of FF! Instead, the first I can think of, I will say "Message in a Bottle" there are some touching scenes and/or meanings in this movie.

 

Oh no, don't get me wrong, &then, "Titanic" is a fine film to be sure, I simply have seen it soooooo many times that it has lost all impact with me. I do remember the bits that freaked me out the most though... the scene with the older couple in their stateroom, embracing on the bed as their room filled with water, and the scene with the rescue boat floating around amidst all the frozen corpses... that got me real bad, esp. the frozen mother & child...YEESH!

'Perfect Storm' - the whole thing with Mark Walberg's death and his wife is f*cking devestating. I think I've almost cried at that numerous times.

 

And Marky Mark strikes again:

 

'Rock Star' - I seriously get teary eyed when their relationship falls apart in that film. :(

 

'King Kong' - When they shoot him on the island and capture him almost drove me to tears. The end is also unbearable.

 

And I forget what it's called but a recent fire movie. A big-time blockbuster. I think it has John Travolta in it. Great film, but extremely sad.

Haha, yes Nick, that IS the most savage scene of all Disney movies.

The whole Dumbo movie isn't exactly a happy one is it ?

Strange, strange movie that is.

I fact, the scene I described earler isn't a sad one, but a very joyful one !

Go figure. Am I a sap ? (hahaha).

      JL Records (West Lafayette, Indiana) Revisited... (MANY PICTURES!)

      By heavyharmonies · Posted

      I posted about this record store (well, CD store really... it has a fair amount of vinyl, but the focus is CDs) 2 years ago. I go there about once a year, and every single time I do I keep kicking myself to go there more often. Not only for the sheer enjoyment of being able to shop the music genres we love and view all these releases in hand, but because it's so damned overwhelming. There's never time to go through things at leisure, pulling out boxes under racks to rummage, because even flying through things and NOT exploring new artists, it's still 3-4 hours to go through the alphabet... let alone stopping and using their listening station (they'll let you listen to used/opened material, not still sealed merch). It's only an hour and a half drive for me each way, so there's really ZERO excuse for me not going over there more frequently. This time I remembered to take a bunch of pictures, pulling out releases from artists we enjoy just to show what they had in stock... a lot of material you'll never see at any mainstream store (even if there is any that carry CDs anymore). Sure, the prices are more expensive than what you'll pay at Amazon and other online stores, but they're not as bad as you would think, and there are bargains to be had amongst the used material when it comes to OOP discs. And to be fair, being able to view all this stuff in-hand is worth it IMO. (Although every now and then you'll see an OOP disc that is WAAAAAAAY overpriced, but at least they have the odd and unusual.) They have one of those old-school "buyer club" stamp cards, with 20 spaces. One stamp per disc purchased. Every other stamp you get a dollar off, and when you fill a card you get $16.99 off your purchase and then you get a new card. On your birthday, you get $1 off every CD and that's on top of the buyer club card discounts. First the pics from when I was going through the aisles, starting with some general pics. Every single artist has its own title card, so look at the variety and depth of the artists. Also, look at the overstock in boxes underneath all the racks! That's the shit I never have time to go through (except when there's a specific artist I'm focusing in on). You've got CDs in the racks, then ringing the entire room is a shelf of box sets and limited editions, then above that VHS tapes, and above that vintage audio equipment. Sections for DVDs and blu-rays (not just music, but movies as well, including a small section of 4K and 3D titles). There's a smaller upper room level that is nothing but vinyl. If you're going to go, plan at least a full day, not just a quick drive-by. They're open from 11AM - 7PM Eastern Time.     Expensive at $249.99, but how many places have a still-sealed copy of the Vanden Plas Epic Works box set???     And now the stuff I picked up this trip. Most is completist fodder. There are a few artists where I literally want an example of every single pressing, even if I already have other label/year/country versions... call me OCD.               I picked up this one for trade/resale even though I already have it, as it is the LOOOONG out of print original fan club edition.     Hmmm... didn't know there was a solo effort, and it seems to be thematically related to the Threshold album "Legend of the Shires".       More OCD completist fodder. I didn't know that Avalon Records (Japan) licensed releases for South Korea.         Live albums aren't normally my thing, but this appears to be way out of print, and for $10 why not?   A few OOP releases for my multichannel audio collection       I'll be posting more about these once I get my shit together, but I'm WAAAAAAAAAY fucking late to the game when it comes to the Jethro Tull 40th anniversary CD + DVD special editions. They only reason I knew about them at all is that I saw a blurb about the 40th anniversary edition of "Broadsword and the Beast", which is my alltime favorite JT album, the first one I ever heard, and I love the album cover... which led me down the rabbithole of all these anniversary editions and their multichannel mixes. Unfortunately a few of them are now OOP and insanely in the $150-300 range. I ordered all of the ones that were still in print (or that had been reprinted), but there were still 4 that I needed... and they had one of them.   And lastly, the most expensive purchase of the day, going back to previous box set discussions, this was one that wasn't on my radar at the time it came out. Based upon eBay listings, it's now a tough find... and they had one still sealed. No, it's not the Amazon exclusive that was signed by Biff Byford, but autographs aren't important enough for me to spend the $500-$1,000 that the signed version now brings. This one will do nicely at a fraction of the cost... a huge and hefty tome (literally).   So when all was said and done, a great (and expensive!) shopping day, but a place I wholeheartedly recommend visiting should you find yourself out here in flyover country. JL Records 380 Brown St West Lafayette, IN 47906 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100041894265953
