Rant: Movies that push emotional triggers

Wow, 5 pages in a baseball website and no mention of this?






Having lived on both sides of the father/son catch game, this one hits me from two directions.

I also nominate A River Runs Through It, because my one fear in life is this:

Now nearly all those I loved and did not understand when I was young are dead, but I still reach out to them.


Of course, now I am too old to be much of a fisherman, and now of course I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends think I shouldn't. Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise.

That part, "now I am too old to be much of a fishermen" makes me cry like a baby every time.

TM mentioned it on page 1.

Apologies to TM, I missed that. I simply can not watch that without tearing up, no matter how many times I have seen it.

A River Runs Through It is another one that slays me each time I see it.

[SHOW]

I start losing it when Norman gets the call about Paul being killed. And the bit Jim posted just tops it all off.

[ThatGuy]

Casino Royale for me.

[SHOW]

When he flipped the Aston Martin… wow.

[JL21]

Oh yeah...

[TimeForGuinness]

I cried when Optimus Prime died...*sniff*

Unicron is still my favorite bad guy of all time, any movie.
