I still have not watched, and don't know if I ever will watch, Marley & Me or A Dog's Purpose. Or that Hachi one with Richard Gere. Fuck that shit.
Most of the ones I can think of have already been posted. The funny thing is, when I was younger none of this really bothered me. But now I find myself reacting more to the emotions of shows and movies, even the positive ones, even when I know it is a blatant ploy and I can see it coming a mile away. I don't even think it is anything like a sense of mortality or impending loss of loved ones or anything that would make sense like that; I just get a little more wrapped up in shit for some reason. Like, I'll even realize that I've got a big goofy grin on my face when the guy and girl get together at the end of a romantic comedy, even though from the moment I saw the fucking cover of the movie I knew they would end up together. And that's with good feelings. With sad feelings, I actually get a little choked up these days. Maybe I'm just better able to empathize or something.
Here's one I haven't seen listed. I'm pretty sure it is obvious to most people why this one would hit harder than a lot of other scenes, but just in case, it is because it pretty much forces me to imagine myself in that situation. I have a hard time watching this entire movie, but I try to do it once a year near the anniversary. Some of those final scenes though...oof.
Fuck me. I just had to rewatch it when I looked for the clip. God dammit. The whole movie is even worse because you see people essentially making peace with their deaths before they overpower the hijackers. I can't even imagine what that is like...but apparently my brain tries because it gets really dusty in here all of a sudden.
