Schindler's List: "This car. Why did I keep the car? Amon would've bought this car. 10 people right there. This pin, 2 people, This is gold! 2 people he could've given me 2 people at least one. One person. One person who is dead. One person I could've gotten out and I didn't!!"

I thought I was going to completely lose it.
=============
Heh, Steven Spielberg sucks at melodrama. I think that whole scene was made up. It certainly seemed fake.

==========
A Beautiful Mind: The pens. Still gets me after 4 veiwings.
==========
The pens? The only pens I can think of were in that insane asylum when he was cutting himself up. Oh wait, the pens. Now I remember... Yeah, that was pretty good.

==========
Saving Private Ryan: The end. The only movie I've ever walked out of where you could hear a pin drop as the people filed out. It was like there was a white noise generator drowning out all sounds. There was barely a dry eye among the crowd, yet no one made a sound. One of the most profound movie going experiences I ever had.
==========
I can't believe anyone actually buys into such contrived crap. Steven Spielberg's hamfisted attempts to milk emotions from his audience always comes off as manipulative to me. It's like getting a handjob from a guy instead of a girl, it's always crude, overdone, and lacks subtlety. The scene in Black Hawk down where the 2 guys defend that downed helicopter totally blows Steven and his hackwork out of the water.

Eh.
Anyway,

I thought the ending to Sixth Sense was pretty moving. A lot of things came full circle. What I really liked was that the kid stopped fighting his curse, and instead embraced it, and it became a part of him.

Good Will Hunting managed to draw some crocodile tears from me.

I'm trying to remember the last time I've cried. I think it happened last year. What movie was it again? Actually I think it was an episode of Law and Order. Damn, this is sad. I haven't been moved by a movie in the longest time. I think Lilo and Stitch is the closest I've gotten. The ending to Imposter, that Philip K. Dick movie that was in and out of theatres in 2 days was pretty sad too. You know what? That part in LOTR where Frodo says he'll take the ring to Mordor, and the part where he decides to go alone moved me.

Fuck, that's lame as hell this is all I can come up with. I'm like emotionally stunted.
