Okay Admit it! Movies that makes you cry.

[motely36]

At the risk of embarrassing myself. I cry everytime I see The Lion King. And not when you would expect. I cry at the very beginning of the movie when they hold Simba up and al the animals bow before him. Not really sure why, but I do everytime I see the movie.

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. Empire of the Sun.

At the end, when Jim finds his parents in the stadium. They look so well and healthy and he is so ravaged physically and mentally by his experiences. And he is still a boy, but has lived through so much.

[loudestchick]

140. Definitely! The part that gets me is when he's riding the bike,

and the soldiers arrive...he's been alone so long, he doesn't believe they're real, at first.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

Chaplin's "The Kid"

When the kid is taken away.

[GAspnes]

2. Moonstruck

When Cher cries at "La Boheme". Of course, I cry during La Boheme, too. Does that count?

[AlCzervik]

3. Gone with the wind-Ms. Mellie dies, Bonnie Blue dies

and i cry everytime even though i've seen it at least 20 times.
Steel Magnolias
Lilo and Stitch
Dark Victry

There are others but these ones come to mind first.

[motely36]

9. Steel Magnolias

Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion!

[AlCzervik]

12. On the cemtery scene right after Sally Fields breaks down

Olympia Dukakis is hilarious...."Here! Punch Weezer!!"

[LizW]

46. I love that one

I went to see it at a community dinner theater, and they brought around boxes of tissues and placed them on the tables after they cleared the dinner dishes away!

[motely36]

53. What a great idea!

[teach1st]

4. Bambi

Lassie Come Home, Ghost, Two Hundred Motels..

I'm just a sentimentalist.

[motely36]

5. Oh yeah

Never been kissed. At the end of the movie when Drew is in the stadium and the guy finally shows up. Tears!

[ronnykmarshall]

117. Oh my gawd!

Me too! I've never really seen that whole film, but it was on the TEE VEE a while back and I caught the last hour of it.

Yup! It's a waterworks one fer sure.

[CornField]

6. My Life

[azoth]

78. Oh...oh my. Pass the BOX of kleenex. Yep yep.

[democracyindanger]

7. Dr. Zhivago

So close to happiness...so subjected to totalitarianism...

[gollygee]

107. Me too

So sad at the end when they're almost reunited.

[JimmyJazz]

8. I hate you for making my confess: Ice Castles, Bang the Drum Slowly

and Brian's Song. :cry:

Oh and Ishtar, but for a whole different reason :7

[motely36]

11. Never seen Ice Castles

But I bet you have some real hot skating pictures. Right?

[JimmyJazz]

15. You really are going to stalk me, aren't you? here ya go:

[motely36]

19. Hey, you're the one who chose to post on my thread

and thanks :P

[JimmyJazz]

24. You're welcome!

Here's an exceptional skating hottie - ignore that thing in the background, - I always do:

[fluffernutter]

10. The Way We Were, Love Story, Ryan's Song.

[CornField]

29. Yeah -- Love Story. Every time I've seen it.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

128. "I don't want to go to Paris, I just want to die!"

[Cobalt Violet]

13. Snow Dogs. n/t

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

14. Charly. The original book "Flowers for Algernon" is brutally tear-jerking

too.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Oh yes!

That is the saddest story.

[fluffernutter]

31. i forgot about that one, you're so right.

[GAspnes]

34. agreed

Robertson's finest role, and a great story.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

126. Apparently, Robertson had done some other good TV productions

and seen other people have great roles in film that he'd played on TV (Jack Lemmon "Days of Wine and Roses") so he made sure to get the rights to this after he'd done it on TV. A rare instance of people getting it right in Hollywood.

[Abelman]

98. Oh yeah

Just reading the play had me in tears.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

124. I think the hardest part is when he sees Algernon's decline, and realizes

what's in store for him. Reading his final journal entries in the book is really sad too.

[Nikepallas]

16. Sooo many -- Gyspy, Amadeus, (can't think of the others now-- tired)

[nytemare]

93. Amadeus didn't make me cry, but I enjoyed it

I love how they used "Requiem" in it.

[mondo joe]

112. Gypsy? Gypsy makes you cry?

What part?

[Nikepallas]

143. The ending when Roz Russell/Mama Rose is on stage and she is

"workin' it" I think you see the pain and fustration Mama had felt all her life. You realized for the first time just how badly SHE wanted to be the famous one. Then Gypsy making the realization that yeah she would not be all she was if it wasn't for Mama and the fact that their relationship is in a sense comes full circle.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Old Yeller

gets me every time. Something about a dog dying from hydra-phobie I guess.

[TheMightyFavog]

18. Saving Private Ryan.

The end gets me every time.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

38. Me too! *blubber* *sniffle*

[Fleurs du Mal]

69. Me too, but the beginning

[sundog]

21. Moulin Rouge

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. My favorite movie, seen it 90 billion times, still get misty!

:(

[progressoid]

22. The Dirty Dozen

Sam Baldwin: Although I cried at the end of "the Dirty Dozen."

Greg: Who didn't?

Sam Baldwin: Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin


Sam Baldwin: were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis...

Greg: Stop, stop!

Sam Baldwin: And Trini Lopez ...

Greg: Yes, Trini Lopez!

Sam Baldwin: He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines...

Greg: Stop.

Sam Baldwin: And Richard Jaeckel - at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...

Greg: Please no more. Oh God! I loved that movie.

[RevolutionaryActs]

23. Ever After,

at the beginning when her father falls off his horse while grabbing his chest.. I was at my friends house last fall, we were watching that (I hadn't seen it in forever) I started bawling! It just reminds me of when my dad died... :cry:

[Kitka]

25. For some reason the movie "Saved" just made me cry.

I'm a bit emotional tonight.

[motely36]

30. Was it tears from laughter?

I thought that movie was hysterical. Did you like it?

[Kitka]

32. I actually really did, and I laughed too. But.....

having gone through a young pregnancy, parts of it got me emotional. I loved Macaulay Culkin (sp?)

[salib]

27. Walkabout

The greatest movie ever filmed.

[CanuckAmok]

28. Slingblade, Cradle Will Rock, Wings of Desire, The Great Waldo Pepper.

A Very British Coup.

The Thin Red Line.

That's all.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

39. Wings of Desire-I forgot about that one

such a beautiful movie! A real period piece-it should be put in a time capsule!

[CanuckAmok]

48. That and "Dirty Debutantes #34". Lost classics, I tells ya.

n/t

[Kathy in Cambridge]

50. I think I saw that one. It played at the drive-in w/"Dynastud"

[CanuckAmok]

56. wow...that was you?

It was so dark...

[Z_I_Peevey]

33. Cool Hand Luke n/t

[ebdarcy]

35. Legends of the Fall

Steel Magnolias
Fried Green Tomatoes
Man in the Iron Mask
Gone With the Wind

I cry every single time I see these movies.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

36. Breakfast at Tiffany's. Au Revoir Les Enfants.

Breakfast at Tiffany's when she finds Cat again.

Au Revoir Les Enfants because it's a true story of Louis Malle's childhood during WWII. The scene where the priests and the young Jewish boys hiding out in the school are taken away by the Gestapo is sooo sad. :cry:

On edit: My Dog Skip makes me cry too!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

41. I haven't seen "Au Revoir Les Enfants" in years.

What a well done tearjearker.

Thanks for the memory.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

44. When the schoolboys say "Au Revoir Mon Pere",

:cry:

I'm getting teary thinking about it!

[212demop]

85. I own that video- it's masochism watching that scene

Au revoir mon pere- and you can't even console your self with the usual, "it's made up," because it isn't. It's Louis Malle's story. I think it's the most beautiful movie I've ever seen.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

122. That scene kills me everytime

the movie is such a sweet slice of early adolescence and it's obliterated by WWII. I agree-it's that much more powerful because it's not made up.

[peekaloo]

37. Awakenings.

[mark11727]

40. Hannah and Her Sisters...(last line)

[barb162]

45. wha was the last line; I saw it years ago

[mark11727]

55. (SPOILER)

"How do you top a story like that...?"

"I'm pregnant."

[SacredCow]

42. Kind of old and obscure but...

All Dogs go to Heaven invariably has me blubbering like an idiot at the end...

[fluffernutter]

43. totally.

[LizW]

47. ET

Oh my, that little Drew Barrymore at the end? "Mama, is he going away now?" :cry:

I've heard Spielberg say that when Henry Thomas did his audition for the part of Elliott that there wasn't a dry eye in the room.

[Justin54B20L]

49. Field of Dreams, Waterworld, and the Postman. . .

Field of Dreams for its great story and emotional feeling at the end, and Waterworld and the Postman for seeing how Costner could go from making Field of Dreams to those two piles of crap.

[motely36]

52. When bad movies happen to bad people.

Ever since Dancing with Wolves his choices have gone from bad to worse.

[Justin54B20L]

54. Yeah, great actor, poor acting selections

[motely36]

57. By the way

Welcome to DU!!!

:toast:

[Justin54B20L]

63. Danke

[Spider Jerusalem]

97. lol...

Costner, a "great actor"? Compared to whom? Keanu Reeves?

Sorry. Just thought that was funny.

[Nevernose]

80. There were good parts to Waterworld and The Postman

Okay. There weren't many, but still, neither was quite as bad as made out to be. And in Waterworld, you can actually tell which parts were directed by which directors (the good and the bad).

[WCGreen]

82. ROTFLMAO

[gonefishing]

51. Until I was 40 I was proud to say...

Brian Song was the only movie I ever cried. After 40 I cry at almost everything (i.e., when Micheal kisses Freddy). I hate getting old.

[brentspeak]

61. Yup, that was a sad film

I remember being moved by it as a little kid.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

64. Sometimes I cry for no apparent reason...

Tear ducts must need more frequent flushing when we get older.

[Left Is Write]

132. Some of the movies mentioned here, plus Fried Green Tomatoes.

[salin]

58. Terms of Endearment.

was brutally obvious in trying to MAKE you cry... and yet I fall for it, even knowing it is contrived.... just couldn't help it...

[tcfrogs]

59. Sunshine of the Eternal Spotless Mind

Can't believe I did, but I did. Great movie. Also, cried at the end of Field of Dreams one time, like the 10th time I saw it.

[brentspeak]

60. "The Navigator: A Medieval Oddessey"

Not exactly a well-known film, and, no, I didn't cry. But a very sad and moving ending.

[CanuckAmok]

62. That was a good one, but...

That kid's voice was so shrill, and he yelled every line. His voice drove me insane.

Still, neat movie.

[WCGreen]

83. That was a real cool movie....

I loved the color tones they used, the bleak almost but not quite balck and white.......

[NashVegas]

110. Is That from the Guy Who Made "Map of the Human Heart"?

I've been wanting to see Navigator, but have never seen it offered anywhere.

I loved MotHH, couldn't stand 'What Dreams May Come.'

[youthere]

65. I cry at everything..

I'm a big sissy..:cry:

[oxymoron]

66. "My Trip to Bountiful"

with the amazing Geraldine Paige. Also "Sounder" gets me every time.

[SmokingJacket]

114. Geraldine Paige was beautiful and amazing. Love that movie. n/t

[LDS Jock]

67. An Affair To Remember, Ice Castles, Beaches

those are my top three

[fishnfla]

68. The Blues Brothers

That scene where Belushi and Akroyd are singing "Everybody needs somebody" and John puts his hand on Dan's shoulder, and i think of him and them and what might of been....yeah i get choked up

[Doctor_J]

70. hard times

at the end, when speed and poe are in the car, and cheney goes walking off to hop the train and head "north", and poe says, "lets go get the cat". i cry like a baby every time.




:evilgrin:

[gulfcoastliberal]

71. Dead Poets Society

You know, when they all stand on the desks.

[Queen Jane]

74. oh yeah, me too

i pretty much cry continuously for the last third of that movie.

[Flaxbee]

72. the last one was Seabiscuit..

not for the horsey scenes (though I cry during those, too -- and I cry in "The Man from Snowy River" (when they ride down the mountain) and "The Black Stallion" (obvious) and "The Electric Horseman" (when Redford sets the horse free at the end and Willie Nelson's crooning in the background as the horse runs in slo-mo to the herd... I'm a blubbering mess) but for Seabiscuit's whole underdog theme, the kindness of Jeff Bridges' Howard, the devastation of the Depression and just watching that movie and knowing how hard Bush is trying to push the average guy back down again.

[Seabiscuit]

137. Hey! I LOVED the "horsey scenes" - they make me happy

I only cried when "Red" broke his leg.

[xpunkisneatx]

73. I'm emotional, so I got a list...

Titanic (oh lord, i cry like an idiot when i hear the music start up...)
The Notebook
William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (can you tell I like Leo?)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
A Walk to Remember

I am sure there are more, but its 1 am and I cant think...

[WCGreen]

75. In Country with Bruce Willis and Emily Lloyd......

when he takes the mother and daughter of his friend who died while they were serving together in Vietnam to the wall and the mother climbs up the step ladder, mind you she is a twinkie shy of a ton, and reaches out to touch his name.......

Excuse me,

Okay, I'm back....

Perhaps the most powerful moment in all of the Vietnam movies.....

[hickman1937]

76. Most of mine were mentioned

except two made for tv movies,
A Place For Annie- Mary Louise Parker(dying of aids) dancing in the kitchen with her baby daughter,
and Grand Avenue when Justine is killed.
Hope these aren't too obscure.

[azoth]

77. Nope - if you're ashamed, I am too.

I also can't keep it together when Mulan's father tells her the greatest honor is having her for a daughter. Or when King Triton beams at the lovely Ariel, now married to a human. I could go on. Really I could.

Can you tell I have young children? Pathetic - friggin Disney.

[Nevernose]

79. The Color Purple

Every time Whoopi meets her long lost sister, I totally lose it.

But don't tell anyone, okay?

[ronnykmarshall]

119. Same here

I post that too.

Another part is when Shug and her father re-unite. That's a great part. I love "Maybe God's Trying to Tell You Something". Makes me wanna go to church.

[motely36]

133. Good choice, forgot about that one!

[Susang]

81. Joy Luck Club

Brutal, gutwrenching, corny, everything a tearjerker should be.

Wings of Desire also makes me pretty weepy. ;-)

[nytemare]

92. That is one of my all time favorites!

I LOVE Joy Luck Club. Amy Tan's books are pretty good reading too.

[mondo joe]

113. You'd have to be a ROBOT to not cry for Joy Luck Club!

[tjdee]

116. Best Quality Heart!!!

:cry:

[WindRavenX]

84. Garden State

Oh. My. I didn't know I had that many tears in me.

[212demop]

86. Pure torture- Cinema Paradiso

when he is watching all the kissing scenes spliced together that had been edited out years before- and that music!

[CBHagman]

148. I wept uncontrollably at that ending, 212demop.

I remember standing on Hertel Avenue in Buffalo after Cinema Paradiso, with my friend standing helpless and embarrassed as I cried.

Life Is Beautiful had virtually the same effect on me. What is it with Italians?

I cried ALL the way through Romero, and during the end of the Prague Spring in The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

As for classics I've seen again and again, Casablanca (the Marseillaise scene), Sense and Sensibility (much of the second half), and It's a Wonderful Life (the drugstore scene) get me every time.

[FuzzySlippers]

87. The Elephant Man

[nytemare]

94. Oh I cried SO HARD for that!

Barber's Adagio in that just wrenched the tears outta my eyeballs!

[Borgnine]

88. Fahrenheit 9/11

Whenever I see the bloodshed in Iraq, and the scene at the end where Lila Lipscomb breaks down in front of the White House.

[realisticphish]

89. Glory

at the end, when they throw all bodies of the main characters into the grave, black and white entangled, it always gets me

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Spirochete]

90. Jaws

it was so sad when the fishy died at the end

[KitchenWitch]

91. Thelma and Louise

When they drive over the cliff.

I cry at the mere change in atmospheric pressure these days...must be the "change" LOL

[nytemare]

95. "Meet Joe Black", "Beaches", "Swing Kids"

Swing Kids just kills me at the end, with the little brother chasing after the truck yelling "Swing Heil, Swing Heil!!"

[nytemare]

96. Forgot "Three Kings"

I was in Iraq in '91 from April to July, in the northern part with the Kurds. When I see the end of that movie where the Iraqis who were rebels against Saddam went through the border, I cried till my eyes looked like Christmas balls, red and green.

Really struck home to me.

[sbj405]

99. The first movie I cried at was Born on the 4th of July n/t

[ReadTomPaine]

100. C'mon folks - Dumbo!

I dare you to sit thru "Baby of Mine" and not tear up. Disney's best film.

For those who haven't seen it - Dumbo's mother has been condemned as a "mad elephant" and locked in a cage for defending him from taunting, abusive crowds. With her son alone, afraid and facing the world ahead without her, she extends her trunk thru the bars to cradle and sing him to sleep one last time. The scene is so gut wrenching, many feel it too strong for its intended child audience.

Lyrics-

Baby Mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart, never to part
Baby of Mine
If they knew sweet, little you
They'd end up loving you, too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give, just for the right to hold you
From your head down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be, Baby of mine

Here's the best image I could find on the net, from a porcelain collectable:




RTP

[Phentex]

102. sniff!

poor liddle guy...

[tjdee]

118. I can't sit through that movie because it is so miserable!

I saw it once, I think it scarred me in some way....lord, her singing that song....and that was before I had a kid.

[Samurai_Writer]

101. Lots...

The ending of Pay It Forward.

Boys Don't Cry

Some of the scenes between Sam and Frodo in LOTR III, and the end when Frodo leaves with the elves.

Saving Private Ryan.

My Life.

Probably lots more I have forgotten. I tear up at all sad scenes in movies, basically. Which is wierd, because I'm such a 'don't let anyone see me cry' type of person.

[BlondieK143]

103. I Am Sam

And several, several more. But this one made me literally BAWL my eyes out! John Q was another teary one!

[DontBlameMe]

149. Oh, god! John Q!

Now that I'm a dad, I have a totally different perspective. When he shouts, "I'm not going to bury my son, my son's going to bury me!" That's it. I'm gone.

[MissMillie]

104. Amazing Grace and Chuck

I hope I can find this movie on DVD

[brainshrub]

105. Forrest Gump

The first time I saw it was at an Brew-and-View cinema. THANK GOD I was by myself because I cried like a little girl. I'm still embarrassed about it.

[American Tragedy]

106. Paths of Glory, Jacob's Ladder, Deer Hunter, & Passage to India

No film has ever really driven me to cry, but those got me very close. I was definitely blinking back tears.


On edit: Oh yeah, almost forgot Born on The Fourth of July.

[NashVegas]

108. The Sound of Music, It's A Wonderful Life, My Life As a Dog

I now avoid Lasse Halstrom movies like the plague, lest the waterworks get running.

[gollygee]

109. Immortal Beloved

It's so sad how close they came to living happily ever after.

[mondo joe]

111. The Christmas edition: Elf; It's a Wonderful Life; Frosty

My tears are freezing....

[ronnykmarshall]

115. The Color Purple

Several parts of it, but the end of the movie I just lose it everytime.

[Clinton Crusader]

120. Titanic (sue me!), Meet Joe Black, Brian's Song, Steel Magnolias...

these are the top ones, Im SURE they're scads of others, but these cripple me. :cry:

[LeighAnn]

121. It's a Wonderful Life

Ordinary People

[Nikia]

130. I always cry at the end of It's a Wonderful Life

I cry in real life too when things like that happen. Alright I haven't had an angel personally come down and show me my life and how it would have been without me. I mean being so depressed because of a seemingly hopeless situation and being saved from it and realizing that maybe life doesn't suck so much.

[Danmel]

123. I'm pretty sensitive so lots of movies make me cry

Schindler's List had me crying virtually uncontrollably.

On completely different notes, Brians Song & Pride of the Yankees make me bawl like a baby. When Lou Gehrig comes onto the field from the tunnel and moves from the darkness into the light and delivers the famous "luckiest man on the face of the earth" speech, I am like a waterfall- I'm misting up typing this post.

I also cry every time I see Field of Dreams.

For some reason, I cried like a baby at the end of the "Iron Giant" when the robot starts to reassemble. I was blubbering away and everyone was looking at me in the theatre, especially my kids who thought their mommy had lost her mind. That movie was just so sweet it makes me cry.

[Nikia]

129. I cried for a couple hours when I saw Schindler's list

Our local theater didn't have the movie right away so my then boyfriend and I drove about 50 minutes away to see it. I was crying from the time he said that he could have saved more (or was it earlier when it was snowing ash) until well after I got home.

[FuzzySlippers]

138. What really gets me in Schindler's List is where

all the survivors,accompanied by the actors who portrayed them, and their descendents file past Schindler's grave. I'm blubbering now just thinking about it.

[CanuckAmok]

144. That's what did it for me, too.

Br-r-r-r.

[TransitJohn]

125. Rudy.

As silly as that is. I cry at the end when he gets the tackle every time.

[DontBlameMe]

150. Ok, how did we make it to 125 posts before someone said Rudy?

That's just not right.

[The Great Escape]

127. Paulie...a Silly Little Movie About a Talking Parrot...

that lives through more heartache than any little bird has a right to. Only to find happiness in the end. I usually love silly movies.






http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125454/

[Aiptasia]

131. The Green Mile.. Fisher King.. Old Yeller.. To Kill a Mockingbird

[Seabiscuit]

134. West Side Story (with Natalie Wood)

[Flammable Materials]

135. Lilya 4-Ever.

[ikojo]

136. I cry at the end of Fiddler on the Roof when Tevye

and everyone in the little village of Anatevke is being forcibly evicted by the representatives of the czar. I think about how hard it must have been to leave all that was familiar and come to the US where everything was foreign.

I also thank my great grandparents for coming over when they did. Although I never met any of them I still say thanks!

[skygazer]

139. Confession time - Beauty and the Beast

I start bawling as soon as the titles roll and don't stop till the end. I have no idea why.

I'm so weird anyway - I don't cry at ANYTHING in real life but I cry like a baby at movies.

Gladiator makes me cry.
I watched Spiderman II last night and cried all the way through it.
Hell, there are commercials that make me cry - the Master Card commercials with the little Boston Terrier, Badger? Those reduce me to a pile of quivering jelly.

What a sap I am! :cry:

[loudestchick]

141. Finding Neverland. The end...with the kid...and Johnny...wah!

[Ekirh]

151. I just saw that tonight...

I didn't cry... but just about every couple around me did. Good movie

[terrya]

142. "Torch Song Trilogy"

The ending gets me crying every time.

[Nikia]

145. The Neverending Story

When the Rockeater laments that he could not save his friends and thatthe Nothing was going to get him too. The confrontation with the nothing. "People without dreams are easy to control..." When Atraeyu (sp?) gets to the palace as everything is falling around him and she tells him that he did bring the human child with him. Everything continues to fall because he can't believe that one little boy could be so important.
The sequels sort of sucked but the original movie was good and rather moving.

[Lizzie Borden]

146. Wizard of Oz

When Judy sings Over the Rainbow. Saving Private Ryan,Thelma and Louise.

[GrapesOfWrath]

147. The Road Home

by Zhang Yimou. God, that movie gets me.
