Helping Skip up on the bed. 

 

I can't watch that scene again.

The terrible part of it is when they show Diane Lane, I immediately stop thinking of Skip and just start thinking about the bed.

The John Coffee execution scene in The Green Mile

 

 

That's a tough one.  I usually start to lose it when Barry Pepper's character is strapping Coffee in the chair while choking back his tears.

Same here.  

The end of Saving Private Ryan when old Ryan is there with his family and he asks his wife if he was a good man.   I cried my ass off in the theater at 18 years old when I saw it, and I cry today at 40 every time I see it.   

^that's an interesting one for me...i totally get it, but even on my first viewing it was just too heavy-handed for me, i found myself rolling my eyes at the final scene.

i thought the ending to Schindler's List was more impactful. i see them both as signature Spielberg endings...like this one, which DOES make me tear up every time! 😊

 

Was gonna post my dog skip and was glad to see it posted already, brutal.

This still crushes nine-year-old South Austin.

Could cross post this in the 'Getting old sucks thread'...This movie is one of those I can watch but I don't make it a point to seek it out... like Deer Hunter or Schindler's List.  Whenever I catch the end scene(like once every few years), it hits me harder than the last time I saw it.

Probably my favorite holiday movie of all time, and while that clip never made me cry, I think it's one of the best scenes in all of John Hughes' movies.  The progression of Steve Martin's facial expressions interwoven with memories from the journey was fantastic acting.
