okay...I CRIED!!!

[RobertScorpio]

Sometimes a scifi movie can move me to tears. Not like I'm bawling or anything, but you know..that lone tear that wants to drop from your eye while your at the movie and you pawn it off as a 'itch in your eye' (girlfriends and wives know better)

What are some scifi movies that had moments that made you drop a tear..or at least want to drop a tear...here are some of my tearful moments...

Spock's death scene in KHAN

The Iron Giant's demise

Somewhere In time

and here is one that might make you laugh..the fly 2!!!

King Kong 1976...as Kong's heart beat fades...

my all time tear fest? BICENTENNIAL MAN!!

What are some of yours

Bicentennial Man did it for me too.

It's also one of the few times Celine Dion's music doesn't make me want to puke.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

A couple of scenes in Soylent Green can get to me. The scene when Sol and Thorne are eating dinner and the one at the end when Thorne sees the nature film at Sol's deathbed.

!
King Kong 1976...as Kong's heart beat fades...

I cried at the end of King Kong Lives (the 1986 movie). Mind you, I was only 7 at the time.

Also, I teared up at the end of Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Captain Nemo was my hero!

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

I'm sure I would have cried during Data's death in Star Trek: Nemesis had I not read the spoilers about it 18 months earlier. That's when I (mostly) swore off spoilers forever.

 

[auntiehill]

When they froze Han in Empire, I cried buckets.

 

[Whettestone]

Alright. I'll be embarrassed , but here we go...

Last episode of "MASH" when Hawkeye realized the woman strangled her baby and not a chicken.

Last episode of "Space: Above and Beyond", both when Paul Wang died and later when we saw a glimpse of him as Cooper walked into the room and Nathan West thought Cooper was Wang.

Last episode of "I'll Fly Away" when old Sam Waterston was telling old Lily about the kids growing up, and how little John-Morgan became a school teacher. "He died seven years ago."

A few "Twin Peaks" moments, like Leland Palmer realizing HE killed Laura Palmer before he died, and some scenes from the movie, like when Laura Palmer or the other girl died and they saw the angel.

But this was years ago.

It took a few days, but I eventually kept breaking down crying night after night after night about Brittany Murphy, especially as I was reading all the online news articles about her death and ALL the posts every person ever made about her on every news story. I saved ALL the stories and copied many of the best quotes. I cried so much, I got a rash above my eyes.

Sophie's Choice


oh and ET but in my defence I was pissed at the time.

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

[Agony_Boothb]

the neverending story when Atreyu's horse (Artax, i think) dies in the swamp.

I was traumatised by that scene as a child, and cannot watch the movie to this day.

Great thing is that movie did it in the first 10 minutes!

 

[Rii]

The Fountain
A.I.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Stretching to classify it as sci-fi/fantasy... The Double Life of Véronique

 

[RobertScorpio]

more...testimony...

Okay; here are a few more..Im a big softy!!

Someone mentioned when they froze Han Solo...yep, I do remember that...

ET got a nod as well, and I totally forgot that one. I REALLY had to hide the tear in that one...

The Green Mile got me too...some strategic eye wiping with that one...

Beauty and the Beast snow ball fight..

[1001001]

I cried (sobbed actually) at the end of Dragonfly.

I've cried at the requisite scenes in the Star Trek movies.

 

[selina]

A sci-fi movie that usually makes me wipe a tear from my eye is E.T.

But when I watch a movie, tears come easily to me, so I cry at all sorts of movies.
The Bridges of Madison County is definitely a movie where I start sobbing.

We watched THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE again, and got a good tear out of that one...And even oldBSG does, when Serina is dying...

Armagedden, at the end.

 

[Mistral]

sticking with scifi as the OP intended:

ET-who wouldn't?

AI-god, screw the critics, this one is awesome

Wrath of Khan-Amazing Grace will always sound best on bagpipes to me

Sol's death in Soylent Green-I usually don't make it past "I didn't know"

Silent Running-when Bruce Dern is explaining that the other robot is too hurt to fix

Somewhere in Time-When Christopher Reeves sees the penny

most of When the Wind Blows - this one was so disturbing I could only watch it once

Wizards- the death of Peace

Bicentennial Man- this one I just can't handle the last 10-20 minutes dry eyed

 

[CDP]

I shed a tear for 10 in the run up to his regeneration.

 

[TheSeeker]

I got pretty misty at the end of Bicentennial Man too.
