I want to know the movies that have actually made you cry.
I know most of the posts to follow might be of the, "Oh, man, I saw the LOVE GURU and I'm STILL weeping!" so I presumptively declare those posters to be GELDINGS.
If a movie made you cry, I want to know about it!

ONE TRUE THING, while not a great movie, hit close to home for me and had me tearing as did THE FAMILY STONE and LIFE AS A HOUSE. And I think I shed a tear at the end of the end of GOOD WILL HUNTING, but it was more of a happy sad than a weepy sad.
And ARMAGEDDON of course.

West Side Story gets me every time. Same with The King and I.
More recently, Atonement made me cry for like a week.
PS - Is Gail always like this, or has she been doing meth lately or something?
ET when I saw it for the first time as a kid.
That's the only movie movie that I can think of.
Though a few months ago I watched Twin Towers for the first time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Towers_%28film%29
One of the brothers lived across the street from me, his family still does. Even though I knew what I was about to watch, I wasn't really ready to I guess. It was just very bizarre seeing him like that after like 6 years or however long it had been. That made me cry.

I am not a huge 'chick flick' consumer, really, because I find many of them to be terribly cynical in what they say about the audience. But this film had a delightful darkness around the edges, and yes, I cried during this one, too, even though I thought the salon stuff was pretty unrealistic!

Adrian B AWESOME
06-22-2008, 02:36 PM
I'm crying because I'm so happy at the end of Armageddon. Bruce Willis couldn't die fast enough in that one.
I'm a puss. I cry at movies all the time, if they're done well. Let's see...as far kinda sappy but still sweet weepy: Edward Scissorhands and Punch-Drunk Love immediatly come to mind. Movies that you can't help but cry at (if you're human): Black Hawk Down is awful for me. The Deer Hunter kills me. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou when he comes face to face with the jaguar shark. The end of Saving Private Ryan (obviously), JFK gets me when Costner is giving his closing argument.
And I always cry at the end of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but it's this sort of happy cry, as the film always fills me with hope.
NATE!
06-22-2008, 02:36 PM
No movie has ever made me cry.
Some might say that it's because I'm dead inside, which is really not to be ignored, but I personally think it's because I'M NOT A WEEPY BITCH. :D

Grave of the Fireflies. I cried both times, but the second time I was on the floor. That and United 93 are the movies that have affected me the most deeply.

Basically, two things make me cry: tragedy/loss and/or triumph/relief.
Backdraft wipes me out every time. From the moment that Kurt Russell and William Baldwin ride in the ambulance together through Rebecca DeMorney receiving the flag and breaking down, I'm a basket case. Then I tear up again a few minutes later in the final moments as William Baldwin finally finds his place in the world.
Also, every Buffy season finale, except perhaps seasons 1 and 4, makes me cry. The Season 2 and Season 5 finales leave me inconsolable.
I also get a little misty-eyed in the final moment of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when all the little children rush up to Indy. It's very manipulative, but it's hard won.

I'm an easy mark.
Any of a number of scenes at the end of Return of the King, but notably "My friends, you bow to no one..." and the farewell on the docks
The ending of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
The Iron Giant - you know the scene
Near the end of Watership down - Hazel's pact with the Black Rabbit
Spock's death in Wrath of Khan
It's almost always death that gets to me in movies, whether its tragic, heroic or whatever, but on a few rare occasions it can actually be a sense of awe. The launch and space travel sequence in Contact comes to mind.
And that's just for starters... :sad:

Return of the King- When Frodo, Bilbo and Gandalf leave for the Undying Lands. That part always got me in the book, and I remember crying in the movie theater
Almost Famous- The ending. It was a mixture of happy and sad tears, probably because I love music so much, and it bums me out that I missed out on that era
Rushmore- The montage with the Stones' "I Am Waiting" and Max visiting his mothers grave usually gets me

The Life Aquatic- The funeral scene with The Zombies' "The Way I Feel Inside" that song is haunting.
Darjeeling Limited- The funeral scene in the village, The Kinks' "Strangers" always gets me
Imagine:John Lennon- Towards the end when the footage of the Dakota and the fans crying is shown. The credits with "In My Life" playing is like a dagger in my heart, as that song almost always makes me cry.

Return of the King- When Frodo, Bilbo and Gandalf leave for the Undying Lands. That part always got me in the book, and I remember crying in the movie theater
Almost Famous- The ending. It was a mixture of happy and sad tears, probably because I love music so much, and it bums me out that I missed out on that era
Rushmore- The montage with the Stones' "I Am Waiting" and Max visiting his mothers grave usually gets me
The Royal Tenenbaums- The ending, with Van Morrison playing

These days movies don't make me cry much. The last time I remember getting misty was when I watched the last half of the sixth season of "Six Feet Under" in one afternoon. That was too much for me. Also, I may have shed a tear when I saw "Finding Neverland" in the theater.
When I was 10, "My Girl" had me blubbering. That one really sticks out.
The last weep I had was not from a movie, but from a blog.

You know, I was once told that I had no soul because I didn't cry at Free Willy. :x
I'm not even a daddy's girl! My dad and I don't get along. She just had to choose either her family or Eric, and she went with the unknown that happened to be her dream.
I cry at Free Willy, but mainly because the real Willy, a whale named Keiko, was housed very close to my little tiny burg of a town, and we got to see him a lot. He loved watching television, cartoons especially.
Then some animal rights people, probably well-intentioned but utterly clueless and dangerous, petitioned to return him to the open water. I stress that he had never BEEN in the open water. More than that, Keiko was, I'm not kidding here, AFRAID OF FISH.
They killed him just as sure as Moby Dick killed Ahab.

I'd like to tell you about a guy I know, a friend of mine. His name is Brian Piccolo. And he has the heart of a giant, and that rare form of courage that allows him to kid himself and his opponent, cancer. He has a mental attitude that makes me proud to have a friend who spells out the world 'courage,' 24 hours a day, every day of his life. Now you honor me by giving me this award. But I say to you here now Brian Piccolo is the man who deserves the George S. Halas award. It is mine tonight... and Brian Piccolo's tomorrow. I love Brian Piccolo. And I'd like all of you to love him too. And so tonight, when you hit your knees, please ask God to love him. :cry:

Wow. Forgot about that one. Yeah.
Iron Giant. A little bit every time.
And I gotta throw some support toward Armageddon. Not fully teared up, but certainly choked up.
But the big winners are:
In America....This one had me bawling through the whole thing. Little Irish girls dealing with pain and tragedy...being strong with their little childish hope and showing their dad how to get through pain...my god..i cried so much was dehydrated when I left. And I was with a really cute girl and that was our first meet-up/date thing!
and
Big Fish. Saw it in TV last week. Didn't even really watch it. Just flipped back and forth. But I saw the funeral part. When Devito gets out of the car with the giant guy....I blurted out "They're friends!" and teared up. That whole last scene has me bawling.
and
Almost Famous. Might have been the circumstances involved. I saw it when it was in theaters with no real crying. But then I bought a copy when I was living in London and it really made me miss my mom.
Honorable mention:
I cried during the episode of Teen Titans where we see the future and the Titans are not friends anymore. When Beast Boy explains why he is in a cage. Tears!
He loves you,

It almost made me sign with DC it did.
Here's a weird one though, I can't talk about the end to the episode of King of the Hill where the Tibetan Monks think Bobby is the reincarantion of a Lama of some kind without choking up. If you know what I'm talking about, it's the part with the mirror.

I always get misty eyed at the opening monologue of Love Actually. Seeing friends and family reunite at the airport is one of my favorite things.
“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion is starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed. I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the twin towers none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge. They were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love, actually is, all around.”

Absolutely. I took an Asian History class a few semesters ago, and as one of the assignments, my Professor had us do a review on an Asian movie. I picked Fireflies because I had heard about it prior; after seeing that movie, I was fucked up...one of the most beautifully tragic anti-war statements I've seen...and it was a cartoon.

I'm thinking the last thing I watched that made me all teary-eyed was the scene in the last episode of season four of The Wire where Carver has to take the kid to the group house after he'd made the promise. Hell, that season had several moments that got to me.
Somebody mentioned The Body. Yeah.
Babe: Pig in the City has a scene that gets me EVERY TIME I watch it.

Toy Story 2, during Jessie The Yodelin' Cowgirl's song, "When She Loved Me". Every time.
HA! I watched that Pixar doc a few months back and they talk about that scene and show some of it and even then out of context of the movie it made me misty eyed.

yup, that one too. hell, watching the pixar story, i teared up a little from just a small clip of that song.

i have not seen this, yet i hear it is quite the tear jerker.
god i love that movie. even when he tells you at the very beginning that he's dead. you still hold out hope that he and his sister won't die
i'm sentimental as hell, so there's a lot of movies that make me cry.
sixth sense

steel magnolias
fried green tomatoes
the green mile
gladiator
what dreams may come

life as a house

Well the first film that really affected me a great deal was after watching the ending of Edward Scissorhands, each time I see it I cry because of how hard it was for society to like Edward.
The scenes with Vincent Price are also noteworthy to me when I see the movie on multiple viewings because I really see a real emotional connection between the Inventor and Edward.
Life is Beautiful also saddens me just for the sake of how well Benignini brought humor and drama into that movie.

Glad to see this making the list. Music is a huge part of what pushes my buttons watching movies, and when it comes to wringing emotion it can fail miserably if it's too over-the-top...or work like magic when the composer just nails it. Danny Elfman so nailed it with Edward Scissorhands. It's a cliche, but the only way to describe it is "hauntingly beautiful."
That final scene with Winona in the snow is amazing, and I credit at least half its greatness to Elfman.

The amount of clichés in that movie is what was horrifying. Talk about heavy handed, I can't remember who said it - but an internet critic somewhere said (and I paraphrase to the best of my memory) "Just add a Spear carrying Eskimo, and then the racial clichés circle of life wold be complete."
and that is pretty dead on. Crash is a shallow, manipulative, after school special of a movie.

Field Of Dreams -- how original of me
There's a scene in Once when the guy plays his demo for his father and you think the dad isn't gonan like it and the dad goes 'Fookin' brilliant!' I lost it at that scene -- yeah...I have daddy issues.
There's a movie called My Dog Skip that I watched with my wife. I was holding it in up til teh end of the movie, then went in to the bathroom and broke down like I was a vet having a flashback. Man that movie was brutal.

I'm secure enough in my masculenity to abmit to owning a huge list:
Almost Famous-Tiny Dancer scene on the bus.
Chasing Amy-Holden's confession in the rain, and the fight outside of the hockey rink. Both are way to similar to my college years.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind-From the moment Joel decides he wants to stop the proceedure.
Good Will Hunting-So many scenes. Will fighting with Skylar, Will crying to Sean, Chuckie talking to Will about his future.
High Fidelity-Too many to mention
The Lake House-The end, when we realize what happened to Alex
Last Samurai- The final battle
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King- Elrond gives Arwen away, and all men kneel to the hobbits
My Girl- Thomas J's funeral
Rocky-The end. Anyone who has seen the movie and not teared up a little at the end is dead inside.
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope- Han came back
Vanilla Sky-His greatest dream ever was to live forever with her.
And probably a whole lot more that I can't think of right now.

Frequency made me cry...but that's only because of the fact that the movie reminded me a lot of my father (who died when I was 9 years old). The movie on a lot of levels hit too close to home and really hit me in way I didn't expect.
Can't think of any other movies. Usually I don't cry when watching movies.

My girlfriend cries at movies pretty easily, but the funniest case is Homeward Bound.
The scene at the end where the animals all come home except for one....then he eventually comes over the hill and sees the kid.
I can actually just start talking about that, and she'll start sobbing.

I want to know the movies that have actually made you cry.
I know most of the posts to follow might be of the, "Oh, man, I saw the LOVE GURU and I'm STILL weeping!" so I presumptively declare those posters to be GELDINGS.

ONE TRUE THING, while not a great movie, hit close to home for me and had me tearing as did THE FAMILY STONE and LIFE AS A HOUSE. And I think I shed a tear at the end of the end of GOOD WILL HUNTING, but it was more of a happy sad than a weepy sad.
And ARMAGEDDON of course.
Family Stone got to me too.

My sister (she's 5 years older) used to cry terrible at movies, and my mom used to tease her...then so did I. So, when I'd watch a movie, I'd fight the tears at all costs. That is, until that fateful day I watched the aforementioned *batteries not included...alone...right after starting the pill. I've had trouble ever since controlling myself when watching movies - I still fight it (my husband prefers I don't because he loves to see me cry at movies), but always lose the battle if I'm alone.

Besides one time when I was a kid and cried at an episode of Fraggle Rock, I tend not to cry at sad stuff.
I'm an overjoyed, happy ending misty-eyed type of person. The two that come to mind.
August Rush's ending had me happily tearing up.
Miracle (the U.S. Olympic Hockey movie) had me going even though I knew they win the stupid game
An Imitation of Life and Mississippi. It's an angry crying though. I no longer watch either of those movies because they piss me off so much.

Fellowship of the Ring: when Gandalf goes down with the Balrog and the rest of the fellowship escapes out of Moria, if I were a Goddamned Sissy, I'd cry then. But, since I'm not, I only well up and get a lump in my throat. But it's a damned powerful scene for me.
