• Sentence I is a correct usage. Looking at old photographs often brings about a feeling of nostalgia, a sentimental longing for the past. • Sentence III is also correct. Returning to one's hometown after a long absence is a classic trigger for a nostalgic feeling, a wistful yearning for a past time or place. • Sentence II is an incorrect usage. While a nostalgic movie might make the audience cry, it would be with a feeling of sentimental fondness or sadness related to the past, not with fear. Nostalgia is a longing for something, not a feeling of fear.
