    The president’s Independence Day (1996) speech gets me almost every time.

    Especially when he crescendos, “…the day when the world declared in one voice, we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight.”

    The idea of every nation on Earth actually rallying behind a cause is such a romantic one.

      I recently watched Arrival (2016) and teared up thinking about this. Probably because these days it seems to be the most fictious and implausible part of any plotline that has to deal with anything truly global.
