Magic Movie Moments

[inthatoneway]

There are a few movies that have scenes which always get to me, no matter how many times I see them. They're guaranteed to make me tear up. In Apollo 13, when the rocket takes off. Casablanca, when Laslo leads the cafe in singing the French anthem. The Natural, when the ball crashes into the lights

My dad and I didn't really play catch as a kid. We played scrabble. Sometimes badminton when it was nice and the net was up in the backyard. Dad's favorite spectator sport was figure skating and he was a dancer growing up in Chicago. Sandlot pick-up games weren't his thing. And yet, at the end of "Field of Dreams" when Kevin Costner plays catch with his dad, I invariably turn into a blubbering mess. (I'm not that far from it now.)

And that scene in Casablanca always gets me, too. Usually about the time they cut to Yvonne.

"I am no man."

Every time.

I can seldom remember specific scenes from movies... and I seldom watch movies more than once. So, I can only think of two, offhand... but I cry easily at movies, so there are lots more.

The end of SCROOGED, specifically, the scene where Bill Murray pledges his love to Karen Allen.
