I almost never cry in movies, the movies i've cried in, are as follows.
When i was young (7-10)
Titanic (Old Couple died in each others arms)
Bicentennial Man (Not actually sure if i cried in it.
Recently
The Bucket List (When he kissed his daughter and crossed the thing off the list)
My Life
Passion Of The Christ
My Life had me crying when it was the same cloth, then it blows aside and there was a circus...
I was bawling. That whole scene and situation...
The fullfillment of the circus does it to me everytime. As well theres not a single time I can;t watch Passion of the Christ without crying. Weirdly enough the drama near the end of the movie Click gets to me too.

in this movie... when his parents come for what is most definitely a "goodbye".
titanic -- once when the mother is reading to the kids (split second after the old couple) and then again when you realize rose dies at the end.
That scene (circus) is so powerful, it's almost to the point I'd make the statement that you're not human (lol) or at least in ANY way in touch with your emotions if it DOESN'T make you cry.

Wait a minute... who am I here?
Even before then. When he's filming his parents and the confrontation occurs - 'Don't talk to me about love. I've lived in L.A. 10 years, you've never come to see me once. You never saw what kind of business I made, what kind of life I live. So don't tell me about love.' That is immediately followed by Keaton realizing that he'll never see his family again and that's how he left things.

The circus scene really made me cry - but the whole film kind of upset me!!!!

Eat well; stay fit; die anyway
not just the circus scene...but when the father says "better late than never"....oh! that does it to me every time!!!
shareMost definitely the scene where they're at the amusement park and he tells Gail that he was supposed to be dead by that day and now he was on borrowed time...and he and Gail just hold eachother and they do a slow dance and just the emotions on their faces just do it for me everytime.
Also the scene where he wishes on a star and asks God to let him live long enough to see his child be born and when he turns his head from Gail and the baby he says "Thank you."
Man, this is such a good movie. :)
"I believe that which does not kill you simply makes you...stranger."
I would have to say when he goes in and is talking to baby Brian and says "that you'll never have known me, but I don't want you to be angry about that."
That scene gets me every time!
Some of the early scenes where he's recording things for the baby and the part where his father is helping him shave.
It is easier to critique than create
I'm an emotionally incontinent person so any emotional moment gets me crying!
This movie really gets to me because my sister is being really lame and shutting me and my parents out of her life because she has a big grudge about mistakes my parents have made and bad habits they have that have shaped her and me a certain way. It took a long time for her to properly verbalize all the mistakes she took issues with so it has been difficult for us to understand her point of view for a while, and it took a while for me to understand where she's coming from on certain points. She seems to be emotionally immature. My parents, (well mostly my dad: most of my sister's attacks are against our mom who is a very proud Irish woman and so this has really hit her in her gut) have tried to make amends with her, not fully understanding her grudges and she's still not talking to us. We're trying to work on a reconciliation with her through a counselor but the counselor seems to have problems with objectivity. We haven't heard from them in months. I haven't actually spoken to her in nearly 11 years. We've exchanged emails once but communication broke down because I said something she didn't like. I saw her once on the street but she didn't see me and it was really weird to see my sister and not even feel comfortable enough to say hi to her.
Anyway, when I watch this film, it makes me wish I could send her a copy of it and make her realize that she's wasting time. She needs to start to reconcile with us before something happens. I've told her in my letter that I don't know how I could ever get past this with her if she doesn't make peace with our parents. It's not just mom and dad she's hurting. It's not just her family she has divided it's mine as well. When they die, if no reconciliation has happened, I will be all alone and that scares me like you wouldn't believe.
So when Bob tells his parents they did nothing wrong, it was all him... man that really gets me. When his dad is shaving him, and they have that moment...oye. When the hospital bed arrives and his wife breaks down.
The Circus scene didn't get me. It was the scene that follows when he's talking to his son. I had a few tears run down the side of my face. But the scene that had me bawling was when he was with his dad, who was giving him a shave. Bob's line: "I love you dad" was enough to make me cry all the harder.
sharePretty much all the parts everyone else did, but also the scene where he's with the hospice nurse and hes trying to walk up the stairs, but he can't make it up, so he sits down and pushes over the bag in frustration. Thats tough knowing that you used to walk up and down those stairs every day and you can't make it up more than a few steps.
shareI really cry tears of joy when he's died and he's riding the roller coaster to heaven and let's go of the rail and just enjoys the light and peace and relief.
