What films have made you cry?

[Bandit72]

They were discussing this on the radio this morning. I can only think of three that have had this affect on me. The Elephant Man, Watership Down (damn you Art Garfunkel) and Schindler's List.

It's weird as the audio has a lot to do with it for most people I would imagine, but audio along with visual. Audio on its own I would guess would have very little effect. I could be wrong?

They mentioned, amongst others, The Champ and the Pixar animation 'Up'. I've never seen either of these two.

[Matz]

Legends of the Fall, I hate to admit. Well, not actual crying but definitely tearing up.

[creep]

sad movies really don't make me cry.

i can't think of specific examples but i can get teary eyed with happy ending type things. (please resist and do not make a dumb "happy endings" joke)

[Larry B.]

Almost every movie makes me cry at the end. I don't know what the fuck is up with that... like, when this "ending music" begins, I get kinda teary.

But movies that have seriously made me cry:

- Dumbo (the scene where the mom reaches Dumbo from a cell)
- The Passion (specially when Mary watches his son being hit with rocks)
- Terminator 2 (when it dies)
- Up (opening scene)
- The Wall (Goodbye Blue Sky)
- Earth (ending)
- This is it (this was terrible and beautiful... I started crying with Man in the Mirror and I couldn't stop... I was sad like at a funeral, and after the credits were gone I was still crying :crying: )

Oh and i think i cried during one of the XMen movies, but i was going through a weird phase.

[Pandemonium]

No movie has ever really made me cry, but there's been a few that have at least provoked a deep emotional response:

A.I.
Schindler's List
Ponyo
Elephant Man
Pan's Labyrinth
Edward Scissorhands

When I saw A.I. in the theater, there were scores of both guys and girls streaming out after it was over bawling uncontrollably.

[Larry B.]

oh, yeah, A.I. was a tearfest for me.

[Bandit72]

oh, yeah, A.I. was a tearfest for me.

Another one I've not seen! Must give it a watch.

[Larry B.]

If you were kinda neglected as a child, it'll definitely touch you.

[Bandit72]

This still gets me now. Lovely film if you've not seen it.

One of the comments

I remember watching this when I was 5 and I pissed my eyes out. I'm 24 now and a hardened Metal head.I just pissed my eyes out again.

The first time I saw The Notebook. But know I know the plot so no tears. Same with Steel Magnolias, Terms of endearment and Forrest Gump (when Jenny died)

But "The five people you'll meet in heaven" is immediate waterworks everytime I watch it. It isn't really a "movie" but a made for TV movie based on the book (which also made me cry when I read it)
Also I always tear up at the end of Breakfast at Tiffany's when she realized she did love "Fred" Paul Varjak.

AND INSTANT WATERWORKS and depression for the rest of the day is "The boy in the striped pajamas" :crying:

[sinep]

oh, yeah, A.I. was a tearfest for me.

i only cried during A.I. because i wish it was spielberg that died instead of kubrick.

fun fact- two of my best friends are running around the pool in the scene where haley joel osment takes the other kid in the pool with him.

+1 Cried my eyes out, watched it with my folks, both sobbed, reminded them a lot of their deceased dads.
No one has mentioned it, but I cry every time I watch the Sound of Music. I must have watched it over 20 times. Cried every single time.
Terms of Endearment
Steel Magnolias
Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Didn't watch The Passion of Christ, but Ben-Hur and Jesus Christ Superstar made me cry.
Stand by me (always gets me)
Oh yeah Finding Nemo and Ratatouile,especially in the end, when the food critic asks him to suprise him.
Another two with Jean Reno: Deep Blue and Leo aka The Professional. Clint Eastwood's The Unforgiven, Gran Torino and Changeling
I want to see one with Ellen Page and Catherine Keener, have heard it's really sad.
