Question:
What films make you shed a tear or turn into
a blubbering wreck.
One flew over the cuckoo's nest - when the Chief
puts McMurphy out of his misery.
Gladiator - when Spaniard joins his family.
Fly II - were you see the deformed dog (never cried but it did get to me)
the other one Im ashamed to say... it had a boat in it though :D
The bit in Titanic when the Captain puts him arm around his wife and water splashes through the window.
Lord of the Rings when Gandalf 'dies'.
The last electricution scene in The Green Mile.
Its a Wonderful Life (most of it - except the end)
...Dancer In The Dark..
(The tears are welling up just thinkin' 'bout it..) :( :)
I agree with The Fly 2, that poor dog.
Also the Korean film - Friend, when the one of the friends is killed, and the end when 2 friends talk like nothing has happened, even though one is in prison.
It also upsets me wacthing Bruce Campbell films, because he is the best actor ever, and gets little recognition for his 'Godliness'.:notworthy
Korean film Il Mare. :(
the other one Im ashamed to say... it had a boat in it though
Speed 2? ;)
I agree with The Fly 2 - i couldn't watch Lassie or Littlest Hobo on TV either http://www.hex.34sp.com/sml/frown3.gif
Grave of the Fireflies - superb movie But it also makes me Cry (cough cough actually i just had something in my eye ;) )
Ghost. Well almost, probably a bit of grit in my eye
Has to be Grave of the Fireflies. If it doesn't make you cry, nothing will.
The End of Evangelion makes tears come to my eyes everytime I watch it.
Always find the end of Donnie Darko to be sad.
I usually cry more at uplifting endings rather than sad ones. The Shawshank Redemption & The Truman Show spring to mind, both have me blubbing like a baby :lol:
Cinema Paradiso for me.
Just watched A Beautiful Mind again, still gets a lump in my throat.:(
I have always found the ending of E.T. quite sad, as well as Armageddon when Harry talks to his daughter just before he blows up the asteroid
I'm still a kid:
Watershipdown (buckets)
The Fox and the Hound when the old lady dies
the champ defo the champ havent seen it for a few years like an im glad lol also man on the moon with jim carrey oh an rocky 3 where mick dies.
The film that made me blubber the most would have to be Failan. Cecilia Cheung's performance is superb and so is Choi Min-Shik. I cried for the last 20mins errrrrr..............I cried because sumting got in my eye while I was watching Failan errrrrrrr.........yeah.
Hunter. :)

Yeah, I think every copy of 'Failan' comes with a free piece of grit or something... It went into my eye too...

I cry like a baby EVERY time during that scene, ever since I was little, it had an impact on me that stays there.

That wasn't the captain.
I didn't cry when that guy finally drowned, but I did cry twice, when the band stayed to play on, and the other when the Captain went to the bridge to die.
It's The Rage aka All the Rage, during the final breakdown montage.
Mad City, builds throughout.
Magnolia, couple of places, especially the Tom Cruise with his dying father.
Also, Regarding Henry with Harrison Ford, makes me cry 3 or so times every time.
Good Will Hunting, the "It's not your fault, it's not your fault" scene... damn.
The Ice Storm, when they're all in the car near the end.
Red Corner with Richard Gere in China, made me mad and made me cry all at the same time.
Mr. Jones also with Richard Gere, though that was a while ago.
At First Sight, I'll admit, made me cry as well.
The Boxer with Daniel Day Lewis, he just gets so engrossed in every role, that's why he's acting rarely.
Most recent one was Equilibrium, also a bit with a dog and another couple of moments.
An Affair To Remember
Watership Down (the real one)
Brief Encounter
Gone With The Wind
It's A Wonderful Life
A Night To Remember
Modern tearjerkers? Pah, give you a farthing for'em.
E.T. - "I love you ET" and "I'll be right here"
Field of Dreams - kev playing catch with his dad.
The Natural - the climax of the final game.
and pretty much anything else when I'm hung over :D
Shadowlands
The Man Without a Face
Goodbye Mr. Chips (the original)
The Browning Version (the original)
Shawshank Redemption
ET
God, I'm a pathetic wimp, arent I? :confused: :lol:
Use spoiler tags please. I was planning to watch One flew over the cuckoo's nest this week :brickwall
I started crying when Titantic started last Christmas on T.V. and i couldn't get out of the room.

Your own fault for not watching it before:p
Watership Down :(
The Colour Purple
When she's finally reunited with the son that was taken from her 20 years ago.
Damn it, I'm tearing up just thinking about that, also Good Will Hunting, as mentioned above.
Billy Liar, Dumbo and E.T. all get the upstairs waterworks going for me.
Sixth Sense
Anyone who's seen Celia will know the scene I mean...:(
Man on the moon
The ending of Shawshank Redemption
.....sad, fantastic, pure cinematic joy.

This is very true because the book finishes with him riding the bus to see if he can find Andy.
duplicate thread methinks:
http://Here.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=50951
I concur with quite a few of those already mentioned and I'd like to add:
The Killing Fields - The final scene with the beautiful changeover of John Lennon's 'Imagine' from the radio to the soundtrack.
The Glen Miller Story - When his wife listens to the Xmas radio show he was supposed to be playing on before his plane was lost and hears his new arrangement of 'Little Brown Jug' - her favourite tune that he swore he's never play.
City Slickers - When the three friends return the herd safely back to the ranch. The sweeping music score leading to their rendition of the theme from 'Bonanza' just stirs something in me.
Sad git, I know.
Jeanne De Florette, Ghost, It's a Wonderful Life, Hi-Fidelity and many more.....guess i'm a big blub-merchant really!
Leaving Las Vegas
:(

Very sad film :(
Others that made me reach for the tissues.
Armegedon -
Harry talking to his daughter -has been mentioned before glad to see I'm not alone :thumbs:
Titanic-the bit where Rose is on the boat and she decide's to jump out and go back to Jack.I like the music in that scene
LEON When he is walking down the corridor and Stansfield shoots him.So near yet so far again I like the score in this scene
ROTJ The duel between Vader and Luke when Luke loses in and the music kicks in and he just starts hitting vader with everything he's got.Then the redemtion of Anakin as he save's his son by killing the emperor.Anakins let me see you with my own eye's speech.
LOTR-FOTR When Boromir dies
The Iron Giant When the giant go's to stop the missle
Moulin RougeWhen Satine dies :(
That's all I can think of for now but I'm sure there are loads of other's
Shine - the bit at the end where he's crying after doing his first concert in 40 years
Mr Hollands Opus same as above
Patch Adams GOOD GOD the bit where she dies is horrific
Pay it Forward christ was there any need to kill the kid????
Gladiator the end bit - all of the end bit
Brassed Off...When the band plays outside Pete Postlethwaites room and his speech at the end...
Patch Adams GOOD GOD the bit where she dies is horrific
Got to agree there ... great film all round IMO [ I even had the whole Pabla Neruda poem at my wedding :) ]
Pay it Forward christ was there any need to kill the kid????
Again ... totally agree. In fact everything from the kid being stabbed to the end is nearly a tear-jerker for me and a definate tear jerker for the other half.
Also, the scene that gets me everytime (and is the only film that I have ever cried at) is the whole 'death and funeral' scenes in Four Weddings And A Funeral ... especially John Hannah's speech at the funeral itself :(
Watched The Others again last night and it's very sad, I think.
It's A Wonderful Life, can't wait for Christmas day.
E.T. nuff said
i hate to say this but the whole of City of angels makes me cry(not the crow 2) it is full of scenes that just have me welling up
i.e. when seth is at the top of the building ready to throw himself off
or
when meg ryans character dies
and most notably the ending.
also magnolia tom cruises performance was excellant and just shows his wide range of acting skills
and armageddon has made that lump appear in my thoat too
in fact im sure im just a big bubbering woman
:( no offense to the girls
The Private Life of Sylvia Saint.
Makes me blubber at the fact that those blokes get paid for doing that. (her).
Most of the ones that affect me have been mentioned ... Ghost, Pay It Forward, Leaving Las Vegas (the whole film is upsetting but compelling and always leaves me feeling drained), the funeral speech in Four Weddings.
A couple of others are the ending of Steel Magnolias ("Life goes on") and Phenomenon. I was so upset at the end of that film.
The alternate ending for Free Willy........
I'll get me coat!:D :nono: :D
[when meg ryans character dies
That whole scene is utter pap (in my opinion), my wife and I were in fits of laughter!!!!!!!! Totally ruined what is a rather good movie (in a girly kind of way!).
The last 2 minutes of Rt Proof Fence
My Sassy Girl is probably the first movie to bring a tear to the eye.
the bit with the rose while playing Pachebel's Canon - so romantic.
oh, i am male btw :nuts:

Grave of the Fireflies is my 'to buy next' .

I've watched that since my first antipodean rabbit themed posting in this thread. and I have to agree - a genuine lump-in-throat moment...
E.T. makes me blub.
Lots of films, which is very odd since I very rarely cry in real life (not because I'm super tuff, I hasten to add, probably just because I'm odd :D). Immediately springing to mind are -
ET
Unbreakable
Shawshank Redemption
The Thin Red Line (at least, it did the one time I've seen it so far)
Edward Scissorhands
Schindler's List
I've got Grave of the Fireflies sitting on the shelf, but haven't watched it yet...
(Newbie question - how do you do the spoiler formatting with the black background?)

The Champ, Kramer vs Kramer and Watership Down all have sad childhood memories of me blubbering
My wife cries at anything with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in.
I wipe my eye ( but I dont cry right!!) when the little boy speaks right at the end of Scrooged.

My copy didn't mention a free piece of grit... maybe we can sue for compensation? I blubbed for ages and that's completely out of character ;)
Other possibly contaminated discs include; Rt-Proof Fence, Life is Beautiful, The English Patient, Jean de Florette, Asoka and Nang Nak :(
Philadelphia and The Green Mile.
Another vote for the Green Mile....don't know why actually. I hardly ever cry at films (honest ;) ) but there was something about this one which is strange considering that when you analyse it, the film had no real moral or message just that 'if you're a freak, life's a bitch' or something :confused: .
Probably just had tears in my eyes at the end because it's all so unfair. Sniff :(
Oh yeah forgot to mention:
Au revoir les enfants is really sad too. Anyone else like this film btw - just never hear it mentioned anywhere really so interested in others opinions (going slightly OT I know). Also so quite a good stage production of it not so long ago.
Green Mile
And surprisingly A Beautiful Mind snuck up on me when I least expected it
Cough. The gf of course not me. Ahem.
Shawshank Redemption. I agree 150 %
The final scenes of My Life and The People Vs Larry Flynt.
My Life in particular. The final moments of Michael Keaton on video - not doing any more of his comedy capers, but simply reading from Dr Seuss 'straight' just gets me.

:oh-hum: I really don't know whats wrong with me! It must be turning 30 or having our second baby, but almost everything chokes me up :(

Field of Dreams , the bit where Bert Lancaster saves the lad and walks into the corn.

Just put spoiler and /spoiler (each bracketed with square brackets) at each end of what you want to black out. People can then read it if they choose to by highlighting the black area.
:smokin:
Schindler's List. At the very end where you just see Liam Neeson's shadow across the gravestone and the flower being placed down. A very powerful, yet understated image in my opinion.
Only film that's ever made me cry ... don't know if that's good or bad really? :|
the iron giant cartoon.. i cant watch it with the kids anymore 'cos i upset them too much..
Echoing the old thread, it has to be Cruel Intentions - the whole Bitter Sweet Symphony bit gets me every time.
what was that one ? stepmom/stepmother julia roberts, anyway cried like a baby, its a good job i was on my own.
another one was independence day - that film was soooooo bad.
Miracle on 34th Street (the remake) - when Dicky Attenborough gets the deaf kid sat on his knee - the Mum says something along the lines of "Just smile she's deaf" and Santa(?) goes ahead and uses sign language. Santa can sign.... he's just so nice.....sniff..
Got to be the end of The Green Mile. IMO nothing sadder has ever been commited to celluloid!
Dumbo, even though im a 31 yr old cynic i darent watch this film ever again...well at least not in company anyways :)
Rain Man ... I feel sorry for the poor guy:(
(I don't cry though, you understand, cos I'm a bloke:D )
The Green Mile
The Champ
Dancer In The Dark
Can't think of any others........
Originally posted by chris otoole

Gee that made me laugh, I can just imagine a grown man bursting into tears in front of his kids when they blow the giant up
"Fly II - were you see the deformed dog"
lololol
Armegedon's pretty sad, although im not much of a blubber myself....
My favourite film of all time, Mister Roberts, always makes me cry at the end.
This is so embarrassing...
Forrest Gump
When he's at the bottom of the stairs and says "I may not be a smart man Jenny..."
Niagara Falls every time!
Anything Disney, cry at least once when watching any Disney film (And yes I am female.lol)
Armageddon (reason stated before)
Titanic
People are floating in the water, the dead baby in it's mothers arms:(
The Abyss
When you think Lindsey is dead
The Replacements
When Falco comes back to play the last game
To be honest I cry during most films. My list would be endless. Over emotional I guess.lol :)
ET
Dancer in the Dark
Stand By Me (don't why, the end just gets me)
Dancer In The Dark
Edward Scissorhands
Grave of The Fireflies (Well, Close)
Donnie Darko had me in a real mess at the end, cried for over 10mins.
Daliah.
Doesn't actually make me blubber as such (I'm a man and as such cannot admit to such things), but the end of Gladiator witht he incredible piece of music by Hans Zimmer does have a tendancy to tug on the old heartstrings.
Right at the end of The Straight Story, where after travelling over 300 miles on a lawnmover, the moment where Alvin finds out if his brother is home or not.
Tend to get choked at the uplifting moments rather than sad, Mr Holland's Opus was one I remember, haven't been so many in recent years. (Not a film but always remember the last Blakes Seven traumatising me as a child though)

Just watched this last night, fantastic film. The scene in the bar where they recount the war stories got me tearful straight away.
Strangely, Moulin Rouge is probably my weepiest, despite not liking it as much as other weepies (Shawshank for example). I guess I was just feeling particuarly vulnerable at the time, but I was practically bawling by the end.

Answers:
Philadelphia and The Green Mile.
Answers:
Another vote for the Green Mile....don't know why actually. I hardly ever cry at films (honest ;) ) but there was something about this one which is strange considering that when you analyse it, the film had no real moral or message just that 'if you're a freak, life's a bitch' or something :confused: .
Probably just had tears in my eyes at the end because it's all so unfair. Sniff :(
Answers:
Oh yeah forgot to mention:
Au revoir les enfants is really sad too. Anyone else like this film btw - just never hear it mentioned anywhere really so interested in others opinions (going slightly OT I know). Also so quite a good stage production of it not so long ago.

Answers:

Answers:

My Life in particular. The final moments of Michael Keaton on video - not doing any more of his comedy capers, but simply reading from Dr Seuss 'straight' just gets me.

Can't believe nobody else has assisted this fellow DVD addict yet... :)
Just put spoiler and /spoiler (each bracketed with square brackets) at each end of what you want to black out. People can then read it if they choose to by highlighting the black area.

Answers:
Schindler's List. At the very end where you just see Liam Neeson's shadow across the gravestone and the flower being placed down. A very powerful, yet understated image in my opinion.

Just watched this last night, fantastic film. The scene in the bar where they recount the war stories got me tearful straight away.
Strangely, Moulin Rouge is probably my weepiest, despite not liking it as much as other weepies (Shawshank for example). I guess I was just feeling particuarly vulnerable at the time, but I was practically bawling by the end.
