You cried during Transformers?

I was six back then when it was in theaters!

I thought I'd necro this thread by adding in a tearjerker that deserves an honourable mention. While it's not really a movie, it is an episode from one of the greatest cartoons ever made.


Beast Wars: Code of Hero

When I was a kid, Dinobot was my favorite character in Beast Wars. The way his character was so deep and interesting was something really like about him. I was crushed when I watched Code of Hero, for it was the episode where Dinobot dies after saving the early ancestors of Humankind from Megatron and the Predacons. The sacrifice he made was just so epic and honorable that I was just stunned. When the episode was over, I just couldn't help but cry.



As for a movie that got me teary-eyed:


The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

The scene where Frodo & Sam barely escape the flowing lava just as Mount Doom errupts. They had accomplished their Mission, only to await for death to take them. It is at that moment that Frodo, with his Burden being lifted, finally remembers the Shire and it's beauty. Sam remembers Rose Cotton, the woman whom he would have liked to have married. It is then that Frodo states "I am glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee...here at the end of all things." and he then embraces him.

Another scence was at the very end where Frodo had just departed to the West and Sam had returned to his beautiful family. After seeing the whole part of Frodo's Farewell, that little scene got to me.

Benji. I blubber like a baby, every time. And trust me- it's not a pretty sight. Because almost everyone in the movie is dead. Because almost everyone in the movie are a couple of little dogs.

And remember the scene when he was in that building, couldn't get out, and he couldn't find anybody to help him? He was all alone! And then, the guy kicks that other little dog while the only people that could help her are the little kids who are tied up and can't talk. And Benji almost gets the cops to follow him but the housekeeper takes the paper away. And Benji goes running down the street for the cop and the old man to help him but they stop coming around to see him. It's all so sad. Even the happy ending is too sad. Because the dogs are still dead. They had to belong to someone who almost died inside when the dogs didn't wake up one morning. And him and the other dog are trying to get this cup of pudding out from under this big chair and they're going to die even sooner because pudding is not good for dogs' diets. And the dogs were homeless during the whole movie and all the people that used to play with Benji and feed him thought he was just going out for a walk, that he did have a loving family- so they never tried to take him home with them. But he was so lonely. And when the other dog got kicked, he really thought the dog was gone forever- the little love of his life. Gone. Try to imagine that for a second. And what about that woman with the cat? Maybe she was lonely too. But she's nice. She didn't deserve to be alone. And her cat was dumb. I love cats but this one was dumb. She didn't have any friends. And the assisting kidnappers weren't bad people, the main kidnapper guy was. But they're going to go to jail for the same amount of time and the really mean guy who tried to kill the dog.

This movie is movie hell. It's all sad. Even when people are smiling, they're just pretending. To hold back their tears.

I'd also cried During Braveheart and Forest Gump when h\He asked Jenny if his was smart or like him and also when Jenny died! But the number movie I on was Rainman when Tom Cruise character said to Dustin Hoffman "No matter what anyone says you will always be my brother"

I agree NP. Benji is a miserable film.

It's a good sad movie but it's really, really sad.

By the way, I was joking about almost everything I said above. Those are just impressions of things a person could have thought if they really combed deep into the mood of the movie. The 70's as a decade were so sappy-sad in so many ways. There was like a feeling that hung over everything that was so depressing and you can really hear it in the music of the time. So much Carly Simon and Linda Ronstadt inspired singer-songwriter music. Very weepy and dreamlike. Just look at Disney, try to find that song "Magic Journeys." Actually, let me try:

I don't know about you, but that's like- sad. So many songs had a complete undertow of like: 'we're sailing out to sea for the final time, so make sure you catch those groovy sunsets.' I don't know if it started with 1972's "The Morning After" (Theme to The Poseidon Adventure, a movie about over a hundred people being HORRIBLY KILLED in a huge 'every man, woman, and child for themselves!!!' disaster aboard a huge death-sinker ocean-liner) by Maureen McGovern:


Lovely, huh?

It spilled into horror, too:

And back-to Disney:
