Rant: Movies that push emotional triggers

Post by StatmanCrothers »

We watched "My Name Is Legend" and I cried when

in case you haven't seen the movie...

he had to kill his dog.

We had to put Nadine down last April and dammit, i still miss her.
The ending was so Americanized as well, if you read the story his name was legend for an entirely different, almost opposite, reason.

This scene in The Patriot has me bawling like a baby, every single time.

Even commericals trigger emotional outbursts for me, I'm a BIG cry baby anyway. Both these movies have special meaning for me.

Exactly. Big Fish and Field of Dreams absolutely turn me into a sobbing mess.

Elegy

It doesn't really push emotional buttons, per se, but it will make you cry. Ben Kinglsey is so insanely good in this film I don't even know where to start. This film is instantly in my top 10.
