The ending of Fast and Furious 9: it wasn't a really good movie but the last few minutes - yowza  :bluesad:

Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

The ending of CODA where the father smiles at his daughter, says "Go" (his only word spoken in the film) and smiles  :bluesad:

It wasn't at the end and I've written about it before but while I've never found The Exorcist scary, only lurid and interesting, as a teenager i did once suddenly start crying at the altruism of the old sick priest, going in to help some girl he didn't even know, at great personal cost. (Plus back then I think I had a brief stage as a crier.) I still find something extremely poignant about that, that in the midst of this campy '70s flick there is this moment of brave kindness.

The ending of Inception made me feel like crying....with relief. Is it really finally over? Can I leave at last? :lookingup:

Thanks, I started the day with a chuckle.  :bouncegiggle:

But no, you can't leave. It's a Nolan movie, you need to stay a few more hours while we discuss how amazingly deep the script is. And we have to come up with at least 20 interpretations, even when the director probably never intended to make much sense in the first place.

Ha! Exactly, Gabriel....

Top Gun Maverick: I cried because of the emotion I felt seeing the first movie I had seen in a theater for two years, I felt sad when you feel like you know that Ice is going to die, I cried with relief when Mav and Rooster are rescued by Hangman, I cried when Mav and Rooster reconciled and when Mav and Penny's plane flies off into the sunset  :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad:*

* But I was smiling the whole damn time.  :smile: :smile:

The last 10 minutes of the STRANGER THINGS finale had us misting up last night. (Actually the last 30 were pretty good.) This was a real feat, as we endured the previous 8-ish hours of Season 5 in a state of mild exasperation and impatience. That show peaked in S3, got real bad in spots of S4, and was pretty much tiresome for the entirety of the final season... then somehow it delivered the emotional goods right at the end. Too little too late, perhaps - but we'll always have Scoops Ahoy @ the Starcourt Mall.

Movies where the dog dies at the end always sucker punch me.

I recommend you don't watch Kristi Noem's home movies, then.

I saw Grave of the Fireflies today.  I wasn't an emotional wreck, but that's not what it's going for.  It's a masterpiece.
