A Thousand Words Worth - in movie and song

As I build up to the post on the mysterious tremendium, I thought Id take the opportunity to reveal the movies, scenes, or endings that push me right over the emotional edge. Usually, if I need to get in that emotional place to write, and the current state of mood in which I find myself doesn't lend itself to it - these scenes - and their total combination of music, image, and structure - take me there very time. (linkable movie clips are below - just the good parts)

The last 2 minutes of The Shawshank Redemption
The last 8 minutes of The Green Mile
The last 2 minutes of How To Make an American Quilt
The these scenes from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and this one
This clip from Steel Magnolias - starting at 7:47 (especially the hug at 8:55)

and this - the clip that sent me to look for my ole pal Steve Mitchell - Start it at 8:00

This is just a bonus. Whenever I see this, it makes me think that the four people in that car just want to be with each other...quietly. The journey itself is sometimes better than the destination. The look the girl in the front seat gives says "Yeah - Id rather be with you guys."


Ok - its pretty out there and some of the songs are VERY old and cheezy, but they have some sort of sentimental meaning...Ive actually linked most of them so you can see the youtube videos and get a better picture of my tastes (or lack thereof) in music.

...and now you know.
