          As for an actual answer, I just remember the end of Starman, especially with that end credits music. Damn thing gets me misty eyed as we speak *sniff*

              You're not just looking for weepy uncomfortable scenes are you Matt? Because I can tell you that every single race in the Fast and Furious series gets me charged up and makes me miss my high school/college street racing days. It has nothing to do with writing or acting, it's purely based on my nostalgia for having a muscle car (I should have bought a Challenger and kept my Gran Torino!) and the fact that F&F actually does a good job of making car porn.

                apologies, but I don't recognize the film that that picture comes from.

                And Ben: that's an excellent example from 'Bridges'. I didn't care for the movie, but I can totally see where you're coming from with that particular sequence.

                        Matt, I say spend less time hating The Fifth Element and more time watching Lebowski.

                        And for the record, I've yet to find the In & Out Burger on Radford.

                          What I'm really going for here is HOW to write this kind of emotion into the script. Should you rely on the director taking the words and 'getting' what you're going for?

                            If the emotion rings true for the characters, then it should come across as such in the script I would assume.

                              Going back to the original question, a movie is a collaborative effort. I don't think it's something that you can necessarily just bang out. You write what you think is right, but you have to be aware things can change.

                              Hell, look at the death of Spock in Khan II and how that was handled.

                                Look at the death of John Doe from Freddy's Dead. Rachel Talalay BLEW IT.
