What is a movie that caused you to applaud at the end?

[kairos12]

For me it was "The Right Stuff."

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. Buena Vista Social Club comes to mind.

[restorefreedom]

2. titanic

cuz it was finally over!!

but for real, ST 4...... when those whales were saved, and the planet was saved, and kirk was "demoted" but given the new enterprise......good stuff

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. One of my all time favorite movies.

Just an incredible film.

[kairos12]

5. Saw The Martian last night. It was great.

[Ron Obvious]

4. Back to the Future

I don't remember now if I actually did applaud, but it's the 30th anniversary and it was a real feel-good film that made everybody feel better about the world. Honestly, who didn't cheer when McFly senior punched out Biff?

[kairos12]

6. One of my favorite movies.

[Ron Obvious]

9. One of mine too

I was just reading about the 30th anniversary, which is why it immediately came to mind.

[Laffy Kat]

7. "The Lovely Bones"

When he gets his.

[redwitch]

8. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

Standing ovation from the audience.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. The audience applauded at the end of "Gravity."

[Mendocino]

11. Local Hero

One of the best and most heartfelt films ever made.

[ms liberty]

18. I adore that movie! n/t

[Lionel Mandrake]

12. Star Wars (1977)

I laughed and applauded the moment Darth Vader made his first appearance, following a few storm troopers through a hatch that had just been blown open in a spaceship carrying R2D2, C3PO, and Princess Leia. Other people in the theater looked at me like I came from another planet.

Everyone applauded when the Death Star exploded at the end of the movie. That of course was the end of some bad guys that I had grown fond of, especially Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing).

As an aside - I also liked the Klingons. They were the baddest of the bad guys in the Star Trek series.

[Paladin]

13. The last audience applause I remember was for "A Few Good Men." (nt)

[WinkyDink]

14. "HOOSIERS"!!

[HeiressofBickworth]

15. Fahrenheit 9/11

There were long lines and the place was packed. At the end of the movie, the whole audience applauded!

[Capt. Obvious]

35. Same here

[riderinthestorm]

16. An Inconvenient Truth nt

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

17. What is a movie that caused you to applaud at the end?

Such a creature has never existed.

[Major Nikon]

21. I'm not sure what the point would be

It's not as if any of the artists that created the movie are going to hear you.

[avebury]

19. My mother and I so embarrassed by Sister and her two kids

when we saw The Right Stuff in the theater. It was released when John Glenn was running for president so it MSM treated it like it was supposed to be this serious film. But if you read the book it really isn't meant to be taken that seriously. It really showed how foolish people reacted where the first astronauts were concerned. My mother and I just hooted throughout the first half of the film. I found the film to absolutely hysterical.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

22. It's both hysterical and beautiful and dramatic.

The whole Alan Shepard scene of having to relieve himself in the capsule was hilarious.

There are little things you might miss in the background that make it even better. Like while Mission Control is telling Shepard to hold it, you see one of the controllers walking out of the bathroom flushing the toilet.

[mak3cats]

20. The Sting...

...it wasn't QUITE the end, but it was the movie's climax. I was in my early teens, and watching it from the balcony of New Orleans' Saenger Theatre. When I realized that neither Robert Redford nor Paul Newman were really shot (or dead), I couldn't help but react with all the enthusiasm of starry-eyed youth. (Still feel that way when I watch the movie now, even though I know the ending.)

[Ahpook]

23. My Bodyguard :)

Encore is playing the movie recently. I applaud at the end when Mike and Moody get their asses kicked

[kairos12]

25. I remember that movie well. It was a good one.

[Art_from_Ark]

24. I didn't really applaud, but the audience did

Sandokan the Great

[rug]

26. I am not ashamed to say Rocky.

[kairos12]

27. I remember the applause to that one too.

[rug]

28. I saw it in Greenwich Village and there was even applase there.

[murielm99]

29. Fahrenheit 9-11

[dae]

45. Yup, even in deep red Baton Rouge, LA.

Curse it all, the Cubbies put a beating on my Pirates last night.

[olddots]

30. I never applaud

but there are some where I'm the last to leave because I'm blown away .

[progressoid]

31. Lawrence of Arabia

Saw its 25 year re-release on the big screen. The entire audience applauded at the end.

[Paladin]

32. On his show last night, Chris Matthews was spewing extra spittle about "The Martian."

If Tweety loves it that much, I guess I'll wait until it's available on TV at home---where applause isn't a factor.......

[clarice]

33. Monument Men. nt

[Capt. Obvious]

34. Fahrenheit 9/11

The whole theater applauded.

[Boomerproud]

38. I was going to mention another Michael Moore film, "Sicko"

The audience, and I, applauded when "Written and Directed by Michael Moore" appeared on the screen, and then sustained applause at the end.

[catbyte]

36. The Incredible Journey

Sorry, but I'm a sucker for a happy animal movie ending.

[lunatica]

37. My husband worked on that movie

He was the person who traveled all over to find all the old hospital gadgetry for the hospital scenes. It's one of those things audiences rarely notice or appreciate when there are movies set in earlier times.

He's my ex-husband for the last 20 years. He's a stagehand.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

39. I'm guessing he helped with this scene:

Perhaps also with the hilarious barium enema scene where Sheppard gets stared down and lectured in an elevator by a huge Hispanic male nurse for his Jose Jimenez impersonation.

[FlaGatorJD]

40. Fahrenhit 9/11 (n/t)

[kairos12]

41. Go Gators

[FlaGatorJD]

43. Chomp! chomp!

[quickesst]

42. Don't remember...

...if I applauded, but the one that blew me away was the final scene of The Game with Michael Douglas. Fantastic climax to a great movie.

[Orrex]

44. I was thrilled when Howard the Duck was over

Out of all the flicks I've ever seen in the theater, the only time I've ever heard an audience applaud at the end was the first Spiderman film.
