Moved to Tears?

I saw Copying Beethoven today. Never even heard of the movie before this morning. Ed Harris is amazing in this role. (He's very difficult to recognize with his infamous blue eyes covered with almost black contact lenses.)
I have to see this movie again, just to see the "Premiere" scene where he does his 9th Symphony for the first time. Let me say, I'm not particularly a fan of classical music. This scene brought me to tears strictly on the basis of the music. When the chorus started singing- I was crying- hard. Not just a single tear, not just eyes welling up...I'm talking about tears flowing down my face. You know that feeling when you see or hear something artistically wonderful and you get goosebumps? That's what happened. The hairs on my arm stood up. I have to listen to that again. Bravo! Encore!

West Side Story is a movie that I love because of the music (and dancing). The acting is truly mediocre, but it doesn't matter because the music is so great.
