Sure, me too. On the DVD, there's a John Williams extra about he uses music, and how he arrows the use of a melody...

2nd one was due to laughter, of course.... {nm} PRodQuanta Nov 11, 13:25

I can't really remember any movies that I've flat out bawled at, but I do get teary-eyed. Toy Story 3 would be a recent example. {nm} Ruthian23 Nov 11, 13:29

The ending, that is. {nm} Ruthian23 Nov 11, 13:29

The Pursuit of Happyness...when he gets the job {nm} tealfan Nov 11, 13:40

That's actually a good spin-off question, whether you usually get teary-eyed from sad things (deaths, etc) or emotional good things. {nm} Ruthian23 Nov 11, 13:42

Maybe that could be my next Friday's poll. Thanks for that question, Ruthian. accountant_4_Jesus Nov 11, 14:07

My sister was watching that movie on TV one time. I came in at the very end and began guessing the lines, off the top of my head tawdryhepburn Nov 11, 15:39
