Tearjerker Tuesday: Raising Arizona

In the car Ben and I got to talking about Raising Arizona -- it was on television the other night, apparently. I've never been able to watch the final scene (H.I.'s dream) without crying. I don't even think I can describe the dream without crying. 

So I decided to subject all you Voxers to it and christen today "Tearjerker Tuesday." What movie scene brings you to tears every time? Tag your post with "tearjerker tuesday."

Raising Arizona: Final Scene

Comments

Dang that's a good movie, and I do get a bit teary-eyed at the end.

[this is good] It is a good one. heee, I linked back to here & posted a TT clip & realized I hadn't even commented here.

[this is good] I love Raising Arizona and I love that last scene, which makes me schmaltzy but not necessarily teary.

I always cry at the scene in The Sound of Music when the Captain is arguing with Maria, then first hears the children singing to the Countess. He goes into the other room and is amazed to hear music in the house for the first time since the children's mother died.

I had housemates in college who started a list of "Movies to Slit Your Wrists By". Their ultimate film was the Gerard Depardiue version of Cyrano De Bergerac. My choice is Heavenly Creatures.

My latest post is for Tearjerker Tuesday. What happens when a grown man visits Fenway Park for the first time...even one from MLB!

(Or Wacky Wednesday or Funny Friday, not sure.)

Raising Arizona remains one of the greatest movies of all time.  I do a whole lot more laughing than crying but I'll give you that it is poignant in a way that only the Coen Brothers seem to be able to manage.

[Squanto]

I'm a big Coen brothers fan and Raising Arizona is one of my all-time favorite movies. Their writing in general is excellent but something clicked when they were writing this one. It's so full of the most unexpected poetry. The last scene is beautiful but I think my favorite passage in the movie is when H.I. writes the goodbye letter before going off to rob the bank with Gale and Evelle.

The movie came out in 1987 and my wife and I still find opportunities to shout at each other, "Turn to the Right!" at least once a month. Not sure what that says about us...

But to your question about Tearjerker Tuesday, the one scene that always makes me cry is from Casablanca. It's the scene where Victor Lazlo leads the cafe in singing the Marseillaise. It's weird, I know, but there's something about the passion and the weight of history in that scene that's just too much for me.

Either that or I keep getting something in my eye.

Breakfast at Tiffany's - the scene in the rain towards the end. Tears of sadness followed by tears of joy.

[Doug Karr]

I cry laughing at this scene:

Ed: You mean you busted out of jail.

Evelle: No, ma'am. We released ourselves on our own recognizance.
Gale: What my brother here means to say is that we felt that the institution no longer had anything to offer us.


The movie that makes me cry is a little hard to find... the final scene of Everybody's All American.  Everyone laughs at me but I can't watch that movie without hitching a few times!

that dialogue was pretty tragic.

We cannot turn back.There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. tiffany outlet We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream." I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations.

There was time when I took an active interest in the oil price. I made the classical economic assumption that the price was predominantly set by the ironclad laws of Supply & Demand. Not anymore. I can go for weeks now without knowing what the price is. But my curiosity was renewed yesterday when I noticed that a barrel of oil
