The ending to Field Of Dreams was pretty emotional too.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

I'm a little embarrassed but the ending of this made me cry the other day:



I always liked the song Together In Electric Dreams but it did always make me a little misty-eyed and I never thought that it might be connected to the Steve Barron film. I was watching the ending on Saturday and the scene starts where Lenny Van Dohlen and Virginia Madsen's radio goes on the fritz, leading the computer Edgar to say "Hello, hello: This is dedicated to the ones I love" and then the song starts: I blubbed hysterically.  :bluesad:

I should also add that there is a shot of a fire-boat seemingly exploding with water fountains and that also made me blub.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

I've seen Shawshank Redemption around 10 times in my life. I've always really enjoyed it, but for some reason today I got misty eyed at the end for the first time.


This sub-plot was what I carried away from the film the most. The whole Brooks segment reminded me of what could happen if you live a life with nothing to show for it, and nobody to miss you when you're gone. What Red did at the end and in the above photo was beautiful, and a fair reminder that none of us are ever truly alone regardless of how we may feel sometimes.

The Muppet Christmas Carol made me blub over the weekend.

12 Years a Slave gets pretty tough too at the end.

The other day Her did this to me....good thing I was sitting in the back row of the theater.

Ugh...  Points to the one who mentioned Life is Beautiful.   (Mari?).  The way that one ends...  I have no words.

I get misty eyed at the beginning of SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. I think, "Oh poor me, now I'm going to have to watch SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION!"

Again I say: you're the only person I know that doesn't like Shawshank:smile:

There are others. We have a support group.

Actually, I don't hate it, but I think it's probably THE most overrated movie of all time, and I feel the need to mock it on principle.

You're one of a very few people I know who doesn't like Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING.  :wink:

The first time I watched LAND OF THE LOST (the only time!!!)  I cried for two hours afterward because Will Ferrell had taken a whimsical, fun childhood memory of mine and used it for toilet paper!

Not one of those one-wipe-and-done jobs, either.  It was one of those use-half-the-roll-and-still-have-Trevor-undies-the-next-day jobs!!


CURSE YOU, WILL FERRELL!!!!

I think I made it through about 30 minutes of this film: no more.  :thumbdown:

True: there are very few of us and I am surprised that I didn't get flamed on The Shining IMDB board when I posted a link to my review here.  :smile:

Talking about likes. Dislikes. Flaming.

I don't think there's ever  been a film that everybody likes. Nor do I think there's ever been a film that everybody dislikes. What is odd is that here we respect almost everybody's opinion on a film. Whether we agree with them or not. So no flaming. And I hope that never changes.
