      Man, worst second date ever. Had no idea what I was walking into in that theater

        I took the kids to see some fun animation movie. Got totalled in the first few minutes.

    The last 15 minutes of “The Return of The King,” starting with, “My friends… You bow to no one.”

    Every. Damn. Time.

    Grave of the fireflies… Sometimes the trailer is already enough… F*** can’t even rewatch the thing…

        I always recommend it… But also with the warning: You will only be able to watch it once!

          I was looking for the movie when I opened the thread. I remember buying the special edition DVD, watched the movie, and put it away. It broke me, and I’ll never forget it! One of the best movies ever created.

      I watched it once and didn’t cry but I must’ve been dissociated AF or something because I don’t remember any of it.

        The breaking point for me is when his sister is chewing on the bottons.

      I’ve never seen the movie. Reading the summary was enough to mess me up. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch it.

      It’s funny that for having such a full career I still think Fresh Prince was an absolute masterpiece and unequaled by anything else Will Smith did. (Second place was probably the original Men in Black).

    Ending of the Sixth Sense.

    “Grandma says you asked her a question. She says to tell you the answer is ‘every day’, what was the question, momma?”

    “Did I make you proud?”

    “where do you think we are?”

    The context is what makes this powerful. The buildup, the misdirection, the reveal.

    This was Scrubs at its best. McGinley should have won an Emmy right there.

      Omg I held it together so well* during Coco until one of the final scenes when Hector picks up Coco and I absolutely lost it.

      *I cry at everything so “well” for me is probably not well for anyone else

    Buffy the TV show, when she discovers her mother’s dead body.

      Ugh for sure. I didn’t even realize it until it was called out, but that episode also has no background music. It’s a subtle change but it makes everything so much more real and unnerving. Just thinking about that episode is making me cry now!
