I'd have to say that perhaps one thing that has moved me and still haunts me today is the images of the orphanages in Romania and those in Russia. Well, let's face it, any orphanage. One can feel so helpless when it comes so seeing children at such a disadvantage, with seemingly no way out.

There are a few movies that have moved me, but for the sake of avoiding ridicule, I'll just keep those to myself.

I've never seen crouching tiger but it sounds good from I've read here and what I've been told locally. I've been moved by very few movies. Songs on the other hand have a much greater affect.

Okay, what the Hell...

I'll admit something that moves me. There are a few things that move me in movies. Every time I watch It's a Wonderful Life, and I get to the scene where George Bailey is on the bridge running away from his existence, crying and begging for his life back, I lose it. I feel so silly, but evey time, I cry my eyes out during that scene. And I don't do too much better in Top Gun when Goose dies, either.

i'm not an emotional guy, but one film that really moved me was 'dancer in the dark' with bjork. that movie was deep. well filmed and well played by the cast. bjork deserved the cannes best actress and the best film was spot on. forget about all thoses ridiculing bjork and watch it. you will be moved by it.

Well, let me put my $0.02 in here! I've had people move me, like my high school sweetheart, or even so far as the picture of the firefighters lifting the American flag over the rubble of the WTC (somewhat reminiscent of the Iwo Jima thing).

There's also a couple of movies that moved me to tears. Chief among those being "Forest Gump", when his wife died, and the scene at the end of "Jack the Bear" where the little boy finally speaks.

Of course, there are a couple more which hold some significant emotional value to me, but there's not enuff bandwidth to adequately explain which ones, or why.

cha yun fat(li mu bai) was very popular in asia 10 years ago....i rememeber my sister was so crazy about him....she had like 3' x 6' poster in her room..

for the special olympic...i watched once on NBC...there were showing 100m swim(not sure)...there was a guy from some africa country..no legs...he only practiced in some small swimming pool(size of normal house hold pool).....he got the last place but he finished it....people were cheering...it really touched me
