I just remembered how much the Notebook makes me tear up. Damnit.

Titanic.

But only because it is so mind-numbingly dull.

We dont watch "Old Yeller" in my home.

Cant stands it.

Brian's Song & Wrath of Khan.

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHNNN!!!!!

Brian's Song & Wrath of Khan.

There is one... but I'm not going to admit it. :p

Do you mean cry as in getting emotional or because the movie is so bad.
For the first: depends hugely on my mood and level of intoxication
For the second: The monkey king, only movie ever i turned of halfway through, seriously, dont watch it.

Grave of the Fireflies is pretty hard to get through.

Most movies make me cry, even ones that aren't sad at all. Seriously, I can start sniffing during an exciting scene in an action movie.

I should clarify... I mean movies that make you cry because they are emotional, not because they are terrible. :)

Grave of the Fireflies is pretty hard to get through.
QFT.

The one time we showed that in club not one sound was heard and at the end of the video, the tissue box I had brought as a joke was empty.

"Murder In The First".

The Land Before Time

Okay, no fooling here, Lilo and Stitch. That part where Stitch takes the picture book out into the middle of the woods, and he sits there and says, "Lost!"

Demonic animated aliens get me every time. :(

Seriously - Rocky - it's out of frustration, I just can't stand the 15 rounds of one-sided pummeling followed by one lucky shot each time.

The first film is okay, but then through 5 it just, I really can't stand it, it really brings me to tears of rage that a film can be so f*****g stupid every sequel.

I should clarify... I mean movies that make you cry because they are emotional, not because they are terrible. :)
Might want to put that in the OP, kiddo.

Gallipoli, at the very end.

In the Name of the Father (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Name_of_the_Father_%28film%29)

I can't believe I'm admitting this, but ... Rent. The scene where Mimi "dies" gets me teary every single time. My mom walked into my room one time when I was watching this and tearing up a box of kleenex. It took a few minutes to convince her I really was okay.

Silent Running. The sceneat the end where Bruce Dern ejects the dome with the last drone into space, then apologizes to the damaged drone before blowing the Valley Forge with the last nuke - and the dome, floating away, safe, but with only the drone and limited supplies to continue the garden...

Bambi :(

Umm, nearly every one I see because I get teary terribly easily, and so anyand every sappy/sad/dying/good-byes/emotional scene wil send me over the edge.

Last time it happened was yesterday when watching "Catch a Fire (http://imdb.com/title/tt0437232/)", which I highly recommend.

Lion King.......poor little lion cub :(

Seriously though, there are like 4 of them, I won't admit to. You can have Lion King though.

Cool Runnings

Cool Runnings

You should look at my nation :p

The end of Million Dollar Baby is doing it for me

I will readily admit, here and now, that the first Pokemon movie made me cry my eyeballs out.

Heh, watched that film with a bunch of mates whilst stoned. Made it more bearable.

One film that does do me is Titanic, not the bollocks lovestory bit, but when the ship's band plays on deck until the end.

I believe it's OK for a man to cry, as long as that man is not me.

I've never cried during a movie. I've considered smashing my head on a brick wall, but never crying.

My wife cried during The Longest Yard (2005 edition - Caretaker's funeral.) I acknowledged the sadness and wanted to punch the bastard that did it - but I was not about to break into tears in a movie theater. Nope. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent.

Senior! Though I've never been moved to tears by a movie. It's a movie, they're still alive! Now I have cheered at the death of characters I found obnoxious.

The Lion King and Bambi

The Land Before Time

:( and that too.

Basically any animated movie where cute characters lose parents.

Black Beauty

It just tugs at your heart, especially if you love horses.

Rambo I

Fearless.

I really can't cry at movies. I've never even been close.

Seriously - Rocky - it's out of frustration, I just can't stand the 15 rounds of one-sided pummeling followed by one lucky shot each time.

Most people don't consider 5 an actual Rocky movie.

Infact, I believe it has been officially stricken from the record of "Rockydom".

The "originals" end at 4, then the series picks up again at 6.

Between them, there is a void. There is nothing there.

The Postman (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/74/Postman_ver3.jpg) made me cry with laughter it's so bad.

Which reminds me I really do need to see Rambo 3 - and specifically the scene where Rambo glorifies the Taliban "freedom fighters".

The Notebook

Yeah, Rambo 3 has become so much better because of that. :)

But it still sucks.

QFT.

The one time we showed that in club not one sound was heard and at the end of the video, the tissue box I had brought as a joke was empty.

The first time I watched The End of Evangelion was pretty brutal too. That is the most apocalyptic movie I've ever seen, and it gives Grave of the Fireflies a run for its money.

Now I find it morbidly humorous...

Am I a bad person?

As for the clarification, none. I only get tears when the movie sucks beyond human measure. Other than that, I find myself too stoic to cry. You want expression from me, emotional output? Fine. Let me watch something that makes me angry. Then you'll see 'emotional response.'

Umm, nearly every one I see because I get teary terribly easily, and so anyand every sappy/sad/dying/good-byes/emotional scene wil send me over the edge.
Ditto. Although I'm absolutely surprised that that would apply to you, of all people.

Also, Zilam, the reason I never saw The Notebook is because I read the book and BAWLED. Worst I've ever cried over a book. So yeah, I love Ryan Gosling so I'll eventually rent the movie and watch it, all alone with my blankie and a ton of tissues. *sniffle*

Edit: One movie that I don't watch anymore because it's just... too... hard: Sommersby.

I've never cried at a scene in a movie. Unless it's of laughter, of course.

I don't cry; I laugh especially during really emotionally tense moments because it's so funny.

Silent Running. The sceneat the end where Bruce Dern ejects the dome with the last drone into space, then apologizes to the damaged drone before blowing the Valley Forge with the last nuke - and the dome, floating away, safe, but with only the drone and limited supplies to continue the garden...
Me too! And I cried when the one drone didn't get inside in time, before they went through Saturn's rings. I also cry why Dave unplugs Hal.
I also cried all the way thru Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood.
And during the car chase in Thelma and Louise. Unlike the comedy car chases then in vogue, I knew something bad was going to happen at the end of this one.
I cry a lot at movies /shrug

Charlie's Angels. :(

Das Leben Der Anderen, when Dreyman's friend has hung himself, and he starts playing Sonata for a good man, with Wiesler himself listening in on the whole thing and crying.

Sad times, really.

Fantastic film.

Grave of the Fireflies is pretty hard to get through.

The first time (and only) time I watched this was in High School in a history class my friends and I couldn't stand. As such, we spent much of the class cracking jokes, and the movie was no exception.

Like in scenes when they are walking through tall grass, we'd say "Wild Pickachu appears!" Silly shit like that. Even the bombing parts.

However, during the few times I was paying attention I remember it being good, and I've been meaning to give it a more serious watching for quite awhile.

The Purple Rose of Cairo.

Sniff

Dunkirk

Video game adaptations by Uwe Toilet Boll, simply because someone in a whole lot of licensing departments were greedy or clueless enough to let that schlockmeister get his mitts on the properties in the first place.

I've cried during Hotel Rwanda and Schindler's List. The brutality and injustice of what is depicted is unbelievable.

Also, in The Shawshank Redemption.

Schindler's List is the only movie I can think of that moved me enough.

Clerks II: I cried at seeing Kevin Smith completely sell out a great indie film.

So many people say "Bambi". PFFT! Who cries at Bambi?

Wait...I take that back.

I recently cried during Starship Troopers...out of combined laughter and "Oh God who wrote this?!" ranting.

"Service guarantees citizenship!" And I've got my Heinlien reference in for the day.

[/compulsory machoism]

But seriously.

I actually rarely cry over what occurs in movies. One movie got me close though, and that was Schindler's List, especially near the end when the survivors give Schindler the ring, and he loses himself in grief.

I just remembered how much the Notebook makes me tear up. Damnit.

Yes. Absolutely.

Grave of the Fireflies is pretty hard to get through.

I agree. I didn't cry my first time through because I was still trying to get a handle on the story concept and understand it but anytime I think about it, I cry.

Brian's Song and Field of Dreams

On a related note, I've met Gale Sayers.

Propably a bunch of bollywood movies. When I was younger, I remember I cried when seeing Kamui die in X/1999 (and also at the end of Monster Rancher :p). I kinda had wet eyes when I saw Advent Children, but only because seeing it made me think of back when I was younger and used to play Final Fantasy VII. So it was rather a flashback of childhood memories rather than the movie itself.

Well, and Hayao Myizaki's stuff... it's not really sadness that gets you there, but just... it has that certain atmosphere.

I just remembered how much the Notebook makes me tear up. Damnit.

V for Vendetta (you know the part i'm talking about.)
John Q
Star Trek II (yes, you know *nerd*)
Pay It Forward
probably a couple of other ones.

Wrath of Khan.Seconded. *nerd hi-5*

Did anyone mention Donnie Darko and American Beauty yet?

As for the clarification, none. I only get tears when the movie sucks beyond human measure. Other than that, I find myself too stoic to cry. You want expression from me, emotional output? Fine. Let me watch something that makes me angry. Then you'll see 'emotional response.'

http://imdb.com/title/tt0046248/

You'll ball your unsuspecting eyes out!

Go on...I DARE you.

*One million curses to Demented Hamsters for suggesting this film to me.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0046248/

You'll ball your unsuspecting eyes out!

This film is a paragon of the breakthrough, postmodernist film making of the 1950's. I do not believe it was a coincidence that this film was released in the same year as the death of Josef Stalin; the clear parallels between his life and the life of the antagonist and their contrasts with the group of protagonists are truly heart-wrenching for this humble student of the Soviet Union. If you are looking for an allegorical tale for the rise and fall of one of the USSR's most controversial and most important figures, this is the movie for you.

10/10...this belongs in anybody's collection.

not shure if this has been mentioned....

Simon Birch

the story of a midget kid who doesnt have any friends, then makes one friend, then accidentially kill his new freind's mom. then he dies whilst saving a group of children from a sinking bus. the end

Shadowlands-a beautiful romance with Anthony Hopkins as C.S. Lewis and Debra Winger as his lady love.

Titanic.

But only because it is so mind-numbingly dull.

ROFLMAO

The Pianist

A Walk to Remember is so sad... I was hoping that there would be some sort of shootout in the wedding scene near the end, but no, and that made this movie too crap to bear watching, hence my getting sad for wasting two hours of my life.

But I didn't cry. :p

I didn't cry when I watched that, but it was a very sad movie, and with great acting.

Concurred.

I didn't cry when I watched that, but it was a very sad movie, and with great acting.

Joyeux Noel was sad.

Much as I hate to admit this, the end of Ghost does it to me. That and Schindler's List.

V for Vendetta (you know the part i'm talking about.)


There are at least four such parts.

The end of The Fellowship of the Ring, when I saw it in the theater. And the end of The Return of the King, whenever I watch it. But not Pan's Labyrinth, oddly.

In terms of books ... well, it didn't make me cry as such, but the end of A Darkling Plain left me feeling sad. Also The Dream of a Thousand Cats.

We dont watch "Old Yeller" in my home.

Cant stands it.

Same.
Though it also scared the crap out of me when I was younger.

The Elephant Man is a movie I often refer to as 'the best movie I'll never watch again' because emotionally, can't stand it. I won't say I cried, but damn.

I actually shed a tear during Schindler's List when Ralph Fienes went through a standing rank of prisoners and shot a few in the head at random. For some reason I had that realization that while this was a movie, the situation had been real and suddenly couldn't handle it. Right moment I guess.

Anyone mentioned Brokeback Mountain?? Such a sad film... I'd say it makes me cry everytime I see it, only I've only been able to watch it all the way through once... :(

Actually, I'll have to add "Der Untergang" (The Downfall) to my list. Pictures of my home city being torn apart because of one man's continued delusions... :(

1) Life is Beautiful
2) Old Yeller
3) Brian's Song (although in a pinch, Rudy is another man-bawler of a film)
4) King Kong
5) The Iron Giant
6) The Hunchback of Notre Dame (the old one, not that crappy Disney remake, although that had a few others crying when I got stabby, to be fair)

You'd have to be either beyond human or beneath human to not sob at any of these films. None of them play up sympathy, but they tear me up every time. Of them all, I'd say Roberto Benigni's quiet heroism and the Iron Giant's last word were two of the most beautifully tragic moments in cinema history.

Metropolis, the Miyazaki anime, made me cry at the end. It was one of the only movies that had made me cry.

The only time I cry during a movie is if I'm really tired and sad to begin with.

One of the saddest movies is edward sissorhands, because the guy is immortal and he'll be lonely forever... and he has no freaking hands.

I remember how emotional I used to get over pokemon, like that part when ash sacrifices himself to save pikachu from the spearow. Wow that sounds dorky, but I was 10 at the time.

There are at least four such parts.

I suppose you're right, i can think of 3 others ... there is one that swells me with pride and thus tears, though, and you know the part i'm talking about. :)

The final showdown in Falling Down. I can just relate to that guy way to much.

Also, The end of the Truman Show.

Click Stand;13205917']The final showdown in Falling Down. I can just relate to that guy way to much.

Bill Foster: I'm the bad guy?
Sergeant Prendergast: Yeah.
Bill Foster: ... how did that happen?

*bows*

I've never cried, but I've come close during "Click" and "Beautiful Thing".

There's a reason I haven't watched AI (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212720/) since 2004. Funny how movies never made me emotional until I spent a year in Iraq.

Mystic River makes me want to hit something as well as feel sadness. I suppose it will have to do.
