Rafal, I had not seen the movie King Kong...I googled "Death of King Kong" and watched on UTube..the last scenes of the woman and the Kong on the Empire State building. The music was very moving and felt it was a requiem ~http://www.answers.com/topic/requiem

and as I watched the pair looking into each other's eyes..and her attempt to spare Kong his inevitable death, I could feel the sorrow and anguish of helplessness and loss..they each experienced... and we identify with this wordless grief and inability to reach across ....even as their eyes were full of pain..and more importantly, understanding.

The one that always makes me cry is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.  The ending, and the Mc Murphy character are just brilliant

         I liked the Bucket list because it touched me on a personal level.It was well made,and only Nicholson and Freeman could have played the leads.It conveyed to me how we are all in the same boat,whether you are rich or,as in the Freeman role,a working middle class man.I went into this movie expecting either a sappy tear jerker,or a hit or miss comedy.I was happily surprised by its sensitivity,without losing any of the expected Nicholson 'bite'.The ending really surprised me,but it was handled not in a gimmicky way.See it,its worth watching.

Gee, I'll have to go an see this one..probably the Titanic was the last one I saw, I haven't been going to very many movies as of late. This is another one of those things the doc tells me not to do,...not  get to emotional about anything.

Just watched The Boy In Striped Pyjamas. What a superb lesson to us all. Certainly made us think and my eyes were damp as the closing credits rolled.
