Movies that filled you with tears of joy.

[Smokey]

Men are not suppose to have teary eyes (at least that is what I hear ), but some times we get so emotionally involve in a movie that it invoke deep feeling toward events happening in the movie. Be it happy, sad or tears rolling down the eyes. And most of time it happen at end of the film.

These are some of movies that me teary eyes.

The Search (1948): Set in Berlin, 1945, an American soldier - Montgomery Clift - try to find mother of a concentration camp survivor, a nine years child. In a unique unification of mother and son scenes at end of movie, one can’t help being filled with joy and tears.


Midnight Express (1980): At the end of movie where Billy Hayes slowly walk out of prison from key he stole from the warder. As the police jeep approach him outside the prison, he thought they are coming for him. But as Jeep passes by and he finally realized he is a free man and jump in the air, you find yourself reaching for an handkerchief.


Killing Fields (1984): After an emotion roller coast ride, the last scene where New York Times journalist Sam Waterson meet his Cambodian assistant Dith Pran after the hell he went thru in Cambodia gives a new meaning to human bond.


Karate Kid (1984): Although this movie had slow start, but it reached fever pitch point starting with the scene where Daniel is laying on the stretcher in locker room, and Mr Miyagi clap his hands real hard to precede with fixing his injured knee.
