3 Movies/scenes that make you cry...


Never been a big crier at movies. Still, there are 3 scenes from movies where I cant help it. What are yours?

1.Field of Dreams: "Hey, Dad? Wanna play catch?"
2.Cast Away: (Reunification scene in the rain)
3.Braveheart: "Freedom" scene (as score swells in the background)


Interesting side note: 2/3 of these movies were scored by James Horner. I've always viewed John Williams as the greatest of all time, but hes never made me cry... well Schindler's List is damn close...

You are right. Horner was exceptional at creating music that evoked emotion, like in Braveheart, Casper, Field of Dreams, Apollo 13. Williams was more of a heroic, adventurous composer of music.
