Not exactly "cry", but Terminator 2 was very emotional for me. And it wasn't just the ending, it was the theme song in conjunction with it. Even right before the movie, the whole opening sequence (before the events of the stories start) with the

spoilerPeople just enjoying life and the nuke just going off, it was so... emotional... like very high stakes... such tragedy...

The depictions of the fires just slowly burning through everything...

All of this destruction is a version of the future that already happened, and the last hope for humanity is some kid that hasn't even grown up yet...

Whenever the theme plays, the I feel like I've accended beyond the linear 3D plane and went into the 5D world and I can visualize the entire Terminator timeline. Its just this concept of time travel is so fascinting.

It's tragedy, its genocide, and the small glimmer of hope, all contained in a single soundtrack. The spirit of the entire series (especially T2) is all described by this one single magnificient soundtrack.
