I just saw the trailer for the upcoming 3D version of Titantic.
The scene with the old couple, huddled together in their bed as the ship is going down. OMG - I cry and cry. Other scenes which get me every time....... when Dorothy says to the Scarecrow..."I think I will miss you most of all...." Steel Magnolias - at the cemetery - Sally Field...... The Champ.........little Ricky Schroeder...... On Golden Pond - When Kathryn Hepburn thinks Henry Fonda has died.... Anyone else........? |

| Life is Beautiful, when they are in the concentration camp and the husband and little boy get on the PA system, and the mom can hear her son calling "mama, mama", or something to that affect. I lost it out loud on that one. |

Terms of Endearment, when Debra Winger is in her hospital bed, saying goodbye to her sons. I actually can't even watch that scene any more. Just thinking about it makes me want to sob. And while I thought Stepmom was a crappy movie, there's a scene there too where I totally lose it, when Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts are talking about the daughter on her wedding day, and Susan Sarandon says her biggest fear is that the daughter won't be thinking of her.  I seriously should never watch a movie that involves a dying mother, I really can't handle it.

| Nothing is as bleak as Bambi's mother being shot. There you are on the couch with kids--watching your classic rite of Spring movie. Everyone is safe. Your kids are safe right? Because you are there to keep them safe, right. So you're watching it, smelling their little heads as you watch the movie with them that teaches them that mothers will die, yes they will kids. Your mother will die someday and maybe VIOLENTLY. Yeah. Choke. Horror.*sob* Never watch again. |

| I ditto the Terms of Endearment post. Also, Claire Danes (Beth) in Little Women, in that heartbreaking scene where she is dying, talking about how her sisters are always wanting to go elsewhere, but she loved home...and now she is the one leaving. |

The old couple in Titanic gets me too, OP. But even more so was the immigrants trying to read the emergency signs using a phrase book or dictionary.
In general, I am very susceptible to music. Set pretty much anything to swelling orchestral music and it will make me choke up. The scene in Tangled where they release all the floating lanterns? My daughter was like, "Mama, WHAT are you DOING?" because I was rummaging for a tissue while repressing sniffles and generally making a commotion. |

1) Steel Magnolias - Sally Field scene and the scene when Julia Roberts is talking to her mom about having a child and Julia says something about how she'd rather have 3 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.
2) Titantic- at the very end when old Rose dies and she walks up the staircase and Jack is there waiting for her 3) Notting Hill - When Anna Scott says she's just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her 4) When Harry Met Sally - at the end when Harry runs to meet Sally at the New Year's Eve party and he lists all the reasons why he loves her and he says something like how he loves that she gets cold when is 72 degrees out, the way she orders food & that when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. |

Off topic, but since you mention it, I have to comment on this scene, which always perplexed me. So, Rose meets Jack for a few days, falls in love, he dies, but then she goes on to marry someone else, have children, grandchildren, and probably great-grandchildren with the man who is with her for probably 60-70 years. But JACK is the dude she meets in heaven? I'd be pretty upset if I were her husband

Under the Tuscan sun - at the end where Diane lane says that they built the train tracks over the Alps even before there was a train to make the trip and they built it because eventually that train would come. Reminds me that life does go on and one day you will love and be happy again.
