I'm always upset after Edward gets chased to his castle in Edward Scissorhands. Now not so upset I'd CRY, but still...

Also, I always curl up into a little ball and sniffle when Basil goes off the edge of the Big Ben tower. (Bonus points for those who know what I just refered to.)

The Great Mouse Detective

...and the movies that make me cry the most;

Legends of the Fall
A River Runs Through It
Life is Beautiful
Shindlers List
The Last of the Mohicans
Field of Dreams

... there are too many!! Ok, two last ones...

The Fox and the Hound

Last, but certainly far from least...

a recording of the Vancouver Canadians playing baseball, that was aired on CTV a very long time ago - you can see me and my little brother watching the game in the crowd, and it's the only live footage I have of him.

Hurrah! Another NSer of impecable good taste, who can recognise good movies.

The Last of the Mohicans never upsets me, but the other ones usually make me somewhat upset. (I never really cry, but usually end up hating the human race and feeling depressed.)

Grave of the Fireflies

I don't cry...at anything. It sucks. I just feel low for ages. :(

I cried when I saw The Terminal. The main character was so sweet and intelligent. The fact that he was such a good person and he couldn't come to the US was sad to me. When watching movies, I tend to cry over people's strong will versus more sad things. He kept trying no matter what, he is a great example of perseverance.

I don't cry...at anything. It sucks. I just feel low for ages. :(

Me neither. Never. Even when I know I should be. I'll feel sad just like I should be, but I never shed an actual tear.

Adam Sandler movies sometimes make me cry...

Lots of them actually, I'm a very sensitive person.

Have you watched Sophie's choice?

Grave of the Fireflies
Seconded. I'd never felt so attached to an animated character in my life. :'(

Have you watched Sophie's choice?

I don't think I have.

I am Sam.

i thought that sounded familer :P and i aleays feel that way towar the human race :D :rolleyes:

i know this sounds stupid but tupac ressurection...the saddest part in the movie is when the a reporter asks him if he will ever find happiness and he answer no not in my lifetime

Seconded. I'd never felt so attached to an animated character in my life. :'(
Have you seen Now and Then, Here and There?

*Sniff*

Fox & The Hound makes me cry too. I can't watch it! :(

Lion King is not arcadiia-friendly either. :(

Titanic & Everlasting Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind too.

Oh, and Of Mice and Men...

A friend of mine stood up in the cinema and applauded when Leo finally drowned in Titanic...


As for myself... well... The Railroadman (Poppoya), yep. It's so sad, yet so beautifully done.

Now and Then is a sad movie, and Of Mice and Men is such a sad book. I haven't seen the movie though. I also think The Lion King is a sad movie, too. The part where Mufasa died is sooo sad. I was only 5 when I saw it. I cried then and I still cry now whenever I see that part.

Odly enough, the only ever movie that's ever made me cry was "Mrs. Doubtfire". Of course I had only slept a few hours the night before and had spent the day in airports and on planes, so I was emotionally drained :rolleyes:.

I should rewatch that movie sometime and see if I still like it in a normal state of mind.

Spice World: The Movie
Gigli
League of not so....
Get a grip, cryin' times for babes! ARRRGGHHH!!! -woosssasss!


Did anyone see "Million Dollar Baby"? :eek: :sniper: :D

The Kid.

At the end when the boy is being forcibly taken from Chaplin's room always leaves me drained.

I must have seen that film laods of times and am never any less effected by it.

I Am Sam made me howl, probably something to do with the "father" issues I've got.

And the winner of the category "Movies that made me feel stupid because I watched it and cried at the end even though it was a kids movie" goes to...

Small Soldiers

The bulk of the movie did not even vaguely trigger any emotions, in fact if it had ended after they discovered all the Gorgonites under the satellite dish I wouldn't have thought any more of it. However, the scene right at the end of the movie with the Gorgonites sailing off down the river... that hit me like a sack filled with doorknobs.

Not sure why... probably some deep issues in there somewhere that I need to address.

Movies don't make me cry, nothing like that does. And I'm a teenage girl, you'd think my emotions would be all over the place, but eh.

I always said I never cry at movies, but at the end of the series 'Band of Brothers', I had to blink real quick for a few minutes. Nothing to do with patriotism or anything like that. I just really got into the film and could not believe how hard them guys had it. What set me off was I didn't know that those old guys who would talk at the start and end of the episodes were the actual people who went through all that crap on the film and stayed committed to each other.

Heh... and The Wedding Singer just makes me real happy. I watched it four times one weekend on TBS.

And the new Star Wars flicks make me cry because they suck so much.

JERK...water, Anyhow: Old Yeller! :eek:

Donnie Darko - Was quite a bitter-sweet ending, does make my eyes fill with tears.

Ghost Dog: Way Of The Samurai - He refused to fight against his own master and was gunned down. The remaining pidgeon at his body topped it off for me.

Fahrenheit 9/11 - Every time those casualties of the Iraq War are shown, I do feel sickened and sad. Gets me every time

I get teary during the assassination scene in Malcolm X.
Angela Basset acts it too well. :(

I don't cry. (At least, I don't think I do.... :D ) Instead, I get chills running up my spine. The Day After Tomorrow is one of them. :D


EDIT: Armegeddon is another one. :D

For some inexplicable reason, the only film ever to bring me to tears was Best of the Best... Eric Roberts gets all choked up, and then Dahon gives Tommie his medal... I'm so verklempt!

Other films have saddened me, but Dancer In The Dark is the only one that has ever made me actually cry.

Terminator 2... it gets me everytime :(

Other films have saddened me, but Dancer In The Dark is the only one that has ever made me actually cry.
I'm glad to see someone else here has taste. That's the saddest movie I've ever seen. I had to put up with my g/f sitting through the last hour of that movie in absolute tears. Which didn't help me from not shedding a tear or two myself, which I was trying hard not to.
THere are so many brilliant scenes in that movie.
The song on the train tracks is one of the best bits of cinematography I've ever seen. Apparently he used over 60 cameras and took 100 hours of film for that one scene. The song is very poignant as well.
Likewise the murder scene, which is pretty horrific and his 'ressurrection' to forgive her was just superb.

Breaking the Waves is another good one by Lars Von Trier for getting the sniffles.

As for the Titanic, I laughed when DiCrapio floated down. It was so melodramatic it was hilarious. Americans can't do sad movies. They're too ham-fisted and tend to lay it on too thick, especially with the music. A sad scene should be able to hold it's own without having to resort to music to tell the audience what they should be feeling.

One movie, and one t.v series:

*Shindlers list

*Band of Brothers

Which were both fantastic.

Saving Private Ryan, at the end. With the captain on the bridge, all his his squad dead and him just dying on the spot. Takes out his pistol and just keeps firing....

*chokes*

..scuse me... :(

Grave of the Fireflies

Most definitely.

Life is Beautiful (1997, Roberto Benigni) also made me cry.

I Am Sam made me howl, probably something to do with the "father" issues I've got.

I have a copy of that movie. The really emotional part is after the credits, when they dedicate it to Phil Hartman. I miss that guy.

For movies to cry at?

Gladiator. Too damned heroic. And heroism is the thing that makes me emotional.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. The ending to that movie is such a welling up of heroism and powerful music that I am powerless against it.
The Transformers Movie. The Death of Optimus Prime is the most devastating moment I can recall from my childhood.

Just about all of Ariplane, and Spaceballs makes me cry . . . . from laughter! :p

Ok, now I'll be serious - when Jenny dies in Forest Gump.

Doctor Zhivago- especially at the end when Zhivago dies not knowing if it was Lara he saw

Schindlers List- The whole thing

Where the Red Fern Grows- when I was a kid it just killed me. Still does. :(

The Green Mile
The Last Samurai

Those two I think have been the only two to touch me.

Saving Private Ryan, at the end. With the captain on the bridge, all his his squad dead and him just dying on the spot. Takes out his pistol and just keeps firing....

*chokes*

..scuse me... :(

Yeah. When I first saw Saving Private Ryan, it affected me too. Especially when I think of Melish, Carpuzo, the medic, Jackson, and Captain Miller.

When the SS Soldier and Mellish are fighting in the room trying to take control of the knife, and Upham is at the bottom of the stairs, too scared to move, and then the German finally comes on top, putting the knife into Mellish, and Mellish is pleading for him to stop, and The German says "Give in, make it easier for the both of us, it will be all over soon...shhh...shhhh"

And Mellish is stabbed through the heart.

It made me emotional when I saw this film, I did not cry, but it got to me.

Another one was the original Watership Down. I owned rabbits at the time, the scene where 'Bright eyes' is played at the end, and when the rabbit dies at the end. It affected me because the first rabbit I ever owned, died not long before.

I only cry in movies that involve children in highly emotional situations (such as the death of Elijah Wood's father in "The War").

Lots of movies make me cry, i'm a sap...lol. The two that make me cry the most though are Schindler's List and Titanic.

At the end of Hotel Rwanda, there wasn't a dry eye in the theatre. I don't usually cry at movies... but damn.

Me?

Shindlers List: Such carnage...

American History X: Seeing that change is quite moving.

Fahrenhiet 9/11: Seeing the real thing is eye opening.

The Last Samurai: The end of the warrior era...

The Kid: Such a human story.

The Last Samurai has got to be my favorite movie. Ever. Its also incredibly sad.

How could I forget, The Remains of the Day is also a very sad film. It's brilliant, but I thought the book was even better.

Something about sad WW2 movies like Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers make me cry, thoes were two of 3 movies that had crying. The third one? Forrest Gump, that had me crying a couple times...when his mother died, when Bubba died, when Jenni is revealed to be a crack whore, when he meets Jenni in the pool...

I just watched Forrest Gump last night and cried a lot.
:(

When Kevin Costner is playing catch with his dad at the end of Field of Dreams is hard for me to watch.

What Dreams May Come, Saving Private Ryan, amd Doctor Zhavigo always get to me. :(

Boring movies make me cry. I weep for the fools who made them.

any one seen white noise? like at the end when they're in the car, it's just beautiful!!!!

I agree with LM The Last of the Mohicans

Titanic and Pearl Harbour would make me cry not because they are good but because it would be like Torture to watch.

LAst Samauri
Lord of the Rings Return of The King.
The Wizard of OZ

See i almost have a heart now if i only had a brain. :( ;)

Beyond Rangoon....EVERY SINGLE TIME!
The Killing Fields
Il Postino...my all time favourite movie
Farewell my Concubine
Red Fire Cracker, Green Fire Cracker

That's all I can think of right now...

Finding Neverland was a great movie that would make just about anybody ball like a baby, to steal an overused cliche. Too bad it or Mr. Depp didn't win an Oscar, studpid Hollywood.

The Killing Fields
I haven't seen that movie, mostly because every single time I hear its name it makes me think of the song "Killing Fields" by Funker Vogt.

"You must plan and you must train,
for the battle you don't want
To defend what you love
That's how the war begins

Peace is impossible,
no matter what it seems.
Someone's killing someone
Even in your dreams

You can't give them a reason
You can't tell them the truth
They are so convinced
To know what to do

People are not very wise
Don't know their limitations
Don't know what deathh means
When they play their dirty game

CHORUS:
So when you walk away,
leaving the killing fields,
you will be soon aware
what you have lost.

Don't give them a reason
and her screams are getting louder"

Now that I think of it, much of that song reminds me of trying to debate people.
:p

Did anyone see "Million Dollar Baby"? :eek: :sniper: :D

Crying is not just for babies. If you have seen "The Notebook" and have a grandma who doesn't remember you any more because she has Altzheimers, it will affect you. What was the worst for me was the fact that the lady in the movie had some time when she remembered her life, while all my grandma can remember is that she is supposed to love me, but she doesn't remember why. That hurts.

angels in america. not techinically a movie, but damn.

What Dreams May Come, Saving Private Ryan, amd Doctor Zhavigo always get to me. :(
I loved "What dreams may come" despite the fact I'm an atheist.


The film that had my friends weeping was....Phantom of the Opera! Seriously, everytime 'All I ask of you' started playing one of my friends would burst into tears. :eek:

I have to pinch myself to make myself cry.

J/k. Very few movies make me cry, usually the worst sadness is not when someone die in a emotional way, but rather a death of a dream when he nearly acheives it.

Movie that made me cry = Braveheart :)

Lassie come home, Pipie longstoking and the Lion King but they were all ages ago :p

I'm surprised no one has mention The Deer Hunter yet! :eek:

The Passion of the Christ made me cry. I couldn't believe anyone would worship fairy tales.

Hee, at the moment I could be laughing at one of Shakespeare's tragedies, as my mood is so incerdibly messed-up right now. I'd probably laugh if some one put a gun to my had and asked for all my moneye.

Funny, I don't remember having taken any drugs lately...
Did somebody put something in my drink?
Ooh that reminds meof a Ramones song!
*runns off to get Ramones cd*

Requim for a Dream didn't necessarily make me cry, but I couldn't take a sip of beer for like a three weeks after that.

I'm a guy but...

I had tears in Passion Of The Christ, and I got a bit teary in Moulin Rouge.

Oh yeah, somebody mentioned Farewell, My Concubine. That one tore me up. Life is Beautiful, that about killed me. Fried Green Tomatoes, one of the ultimate chick flicks. Wings of Desire, City of Angels absolutely did not live up to that. And am I the only one who cried for Rutger Hauer's android character in Bladerunner?

I had tears in Titanic... TEARS OF LAUGHTER, bwahahahahahaha!
Esp. when that guy fell screaming into the prop towards the end. I though I'd have to leave the theatre.

Finding Neverland got me pretty dang close

The last few minutes of Bicentennial Man. I didn't just cry, I almost had a nervous breakdown!

Has anyone mentioned Bambi yet? (too early for me to read the entire thread, I'm not properly awake yet). The bit where Bambi's mother dies....destroyed my childhood, that did! :p

The Wall, at the part with the rat.

I didn't cry but I thought the bit at thew end of LOTR: ROTR was very sad :(

What movies make you cry?
The ones my father made with his 8mm when I was something between 1 and 12. The feel of another era ...

The Princess Bride.

I start crying the moment the opening song starts, and finish pissing myself around the time Peter Falk says to his grandson "As You Wish..."

A walk to Remember, City of Angels, and Finding Neverland...

shut up, I'm a hopeless romantic

I loved "What dreams may come" despite the fact I'm an atheist.

The film that had my friends weeping was....Phantom of the Opera! Seriously, everytime 'All I ask of you' started playing one of my friends would burst into tears. :eek:
I've never seen that latest "Phantom of the Opera," although I've heard it's good. What really gets to me in "What Dreams May Come" is that he is willing to go to hell to find her out of his great love for her. I've only felt that way about two women in my entire life.

I cried at Phantom of the Opera somewhere in Down Once More. I'm not going to spoil it but I did cry. Oh, and I cried last night during the Oscars when Beyonce sang Learn to be Lonely, partially because it's a beautiful song and partially because she killed it.

The Fox and the Hound
The Return of the King
AI
Forest Gump

The Crying Game.

i tell every1 that i neva eva cry during films and that i'm really hard hearted, but sumtimes, to my amazement i find myself weeping in films like:
Forest Gump
Spirit
42 Steps
also, those japanese anime cartoon movies r sumtimes quite sad.

i also wanted 2 say that the end of Monty Python, Life of Brian is really dissapointing, the way that all the people cum 2 save Brian, but he's neva actually helped at all. it annoys me. does any1 agree?

A League of Their Own - The scene where they find out who's husband is dead always makes me tear up.

Titanic - I admit it. When Leo sinks, Kate Winslet sounds so forlorn, I have to cry.

Glory - The shear massive loss of life is too stunning not to cry.

The Abyss made me cry a lot but it had a happy ending, and really spectacular endings always make me emotional and I cry happy tears.

P.S. No one's mentioned it yet but Field of Dreams, even though I don't really like baseball.

fiddler on the roof...

American History X.

P.S. No one's mentioned it yet but Field of Dreams, even though I don't really like baseball.
Hmm... did you check the second post perhaps? ;)

That whole last scene, with Kevin Costner questioning Ray Liotta, and then his father taking off the mask... and Kevin Costner realizing who it was... it would take a robot not to cry at that.

i definitely agree with "life is beautiful".. i actually cried in "uptown girls"...my friend thought i was nuts.

Crying is not just for babies. If you have seen "The Notebook" and have a grandma who doesn't remember you any more because she has Altzheimers, it will affect you. What was the worst for me was the fact that the lady in the movie had some time when she remembered her life, while all my grandma can remember is that she is supposed to love me, but she doesn't remember why. That hurts.


Same for me. I had a grandfather who suffered from Alzheimer's and this movie makes me cry every time. Especially the scene when the woman dosen't recognize her husband and goes into hysterics over it.

Glory - The shear massive loss of life is too stunning not to cry.

Damn. I'd forgotten about Glory. Yeah, that was a rough one. Only other movie that kicked me like that was Grave of the Fireflies. Only two I can think of.

Phenomenon

Ladder 49 was bad too

Lionking.... I was young

After "Edward Scissorhands," my wife and I sobbed in the car the whole drive home. I mean, sobbed!

I also cried at the end of "The Little Mermaid" during the big operatic send-off the first time I saw it. I was 26 at the time. :(

And the end of "The Wedding Singer" makes me cry when Adam Sandler comes out of first class on the airplane to sing that song about growing old together to Drew Barrymore in coach. I cry every time. Shouldn't there be a gate or something stronger than a curtain between the sections? (Just kidding! :) I think Elaine on "Seinfeld" said something like that first.)

Edit: Yeah, "Schindler's List" makes me cry too, just because of man's inhumanity to man. And that little girl in the pink coat against the washed out background is an extremely powerful image that also makes me weep openly and bitterly.

those dancing films like Honey make me cry from relief and happiness...also, it just makes u wish u could dance like that.

Oh yeah, somebody mentioned Farewell, My Concubine. That one tore me up. Life is Beautiful, that about killed me. Fried Green Tomatoes, one of the ultimate chick flicks. Wings of Desire, City of Angels absolutely did not live up to that. And am I the only one who cried for Rutger Hauer's android character in Bladerunner?

Yes the "Tears in Rain" scene always makes me cry. Especially the speech he gives.

"Blazing Saddles" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", you'll laugh so hard you'll cry

or you can just default "Old Yeller" or "Where the red fern grows"
