Songs that make me cry in movies

A lot of my favorite movies involve great music. The choice of song in a scene can completely make or break the scene... same going for a film's soundtrack. Watching The Virgin Suicides and Almost Famous warps me into a seventies flowerchild. Love the music from especially these two scenes.



Zooey Desch tells her little brother before she leaves home: "light a candle, play this song and you'll see your life". I cry...

Gilbert O'Sullivan? I spent my entire life looking for this song and once I found it I never let it gooooo



Trainspotting is a great movie but I wouldn't have considered it one of my favorites if it weren't for the ending scene. You have to watch the entire movie to appreciate the ending but Underworld fucking kicks this. I've had wet dreams about hearing this song in public and the first time I did was at this amazing beautiful club in Hong Kong. Vodka in one hand, amazing sound system, beautiful people, and Underworld blasting from all directions. How much better could it really be? Orgasm in my panties.

This link is SO worth clicking since I'm saving the best for last. Babel was a great movie but this scene literally brought tears to my eyes. This storyline is about a deaf girl who takes ecstasy and goes to a club that's playing a remix of Earth Wind and Fire's "September". Makes you appreciate the beauty of music, the world and mind-opening substances.
