What movie makes you cry?

I sob like a baby whenever I watch 'Imitation of Life'.

Annie, the maid, dies without seeing her bratty self-absorbed daughter. The bratty self-absorbed daughter shows up during the funeral procession sobbing over her mother's casket. Yep, a really tear-jerker.

Daryl Hannah trades away her necklace of gems to buy Tom Hanks the mermaid statue for his bedroom. When he asks her why, she looks at him and says "Because I love you" with such disarming simplicity and vulnerability, I'm instantly teary.

The last movie I distinctly remember crying at was "Kissing Jessica Stein"--when Tovah Feldshuh as the mom wants to tell Jessica she knows about her relationship with a woman. There's a beautiful, beautiful moment where Feldshuh pauses, looks away, summons her courage, and says "Jessie....I think she's a very nice girl." Oh man, waterworks city.

If I see "Brokeback" again, I'll see if I cry--sometimes it doesn't hit till the 2nd time. ("E.T." and "Edward Scissorhands," for example.)

I can not watch that movie.

At all...

My Life Without Me?

I have that on DVD but I can't bring myself to watch it....

Khash.

one more movie I can't watch!

Another one I can't watch is Marvin's Room. It's a good movie and very funny but parts of it hit too close to home. And hearing Dianne Keaton's head hit the concrete when she collapses - too much.


Khash.

and I can not see Robocop, because the surgery scene when they are trying to save his life bring back horrible flash backs to my surgery.

Babe ("That'll do, pig." and when Hoggett dances for Babe)

Big (Final scene, the sound of the boy's shoes scraping on the pavement)

Excalibur (When Arthur bids farewell to Gwen, "I have this dream ...")

Fantasia 2000 (The flying whales, the Ark, the Firebird segment)

The Secret of Roan Inish

Terms of Endearment ("I was just inches from a clean getaway." "This is my moment.")

The Big Red One (That hard case sergeant carrying the dying boy)

Singin' in the Rain (What else, Kelly dancing in the rain. What joy!)

great, great film. I think Leni Halstrom directed it.

went into space -- that made me buckle.

It was a lovely, sad movie.

I want to see it again soon.

Funny and sad. Funny how sad movies are usually sweetly funny.

I also discovered Neruda, which was a revelation.

Wonderful film.

Spartacus

It's A Wonderful Life

Antwone Fisher

When Sally Fields loses it at the funeral. You tear up but don't have time to cry before Olympia Dukakis makes a joke about "Weezer."

It's a Wonderful Life always gets me too.

I sob like a baby....

Khash.

My sister died while talking to my mother on the phone. I got hysterical when I watched it.

I cry REALLY easily. I even got misty at Cheaper by the Dozen, Part 2! heheh.

When I was younger, I used to be ashamed of my tears, but over the years I have come to appreciate my ability to be in touch with my feelings. I guess you could say I wear my heart on my sleeves.

That's me. I'm a sensitive gal.
:hi:

The ending always brings a tear to my eye.

Welcome to DU!! :hi:

Yeah, A River Runs Through It was a beautiful movie, on a lot of different levels.

One of my all time favorite movies.

Redford did a great job with it.

I see you're in Alaska. Greetings, from California!
:hi:

from the warm, soggy south east part of Alaska! Hope it is sunny where you are at.

a perfectly SHINEy day. ;)

What part of California are you in? I used to live in San Francisco and miss it.

actually Scotts Valley, about 6 miles north of SC, off of Hwy 17.
:woohoo:
Yes, we are indeed blessed.

haven't thought about that one in a while x(

as Annie is such a good person.

when she buries her baby, waaaaaaaaa

It's one of those movies that I think everyone should see. More relevant than ever these days

but on every other level I recommend it enthusiastically.

Why, oh why did I pay to see that movie? It still upsets me. :cry:

Hell, even thinking about it makes me weepy. :cry:

but it comes from afar and carries with it all my good intentions.


I cried about 10 times in that movie.

PB

but i sob whenever i watch 'legends of the fall'. 'million dollar baby' also made me cry quite a bit, and like many have said, 'steel magnolias'.

I've cried both times I've seen it! Mahalia Jackson singing at the funeral is simply amazing and makes me want to cry just thinking about it.

From the time Annie is in bed until the end of the movie I'm crying. That's about 20 minutes worth of crying I think. It'll pull the tears right out of ya'.

When I told a friend about Mahalia years ago, I didn't know who she was at the time, he knew and gave me a tape of her music. I wore it out.

I lie not.

Saw that recently and just bawled.

Also Big Fish.

Phenomenon also made me cry. Beaches and Terms of Endearment too.

bust out crying. Didn't see it coming.

When the cast of the play is at Sylvia's house and Tinkerbell is dying and Peter Pan says "Clap if you believe so that Tink can live and we can dream" (or something much more lyrical than that!) and Sylvia's stern stiff mother is the first to clap.

Is so sentimental to me

When they bring back the President's wife. I hate that part.

when the horse reads his card..man...rough.

I WANT YOU TO GET HELP, GUMBY!

Sophie's Choice
Kramer versus Kramer
Bridges of Madison County

:cry:

it was in my college French class and I didn't want to cry in class!

It was awesome.

:cry:

The Christmas scene. I don't cry per se but get a bit moist-eyed and the old lump-in-the-throat bit. This scene maybe moves only Scandinavians.

I've never cried as much at anything.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086581/

"That'll do, pig. That'll do"

Great movie. A tear rolls down every time I hear that line. *sniff* Can't wait until Most Adorable Child Ever is old enough to appreciate it.

Mind you, I was only in like second grade, so.... :D :D

and it never fails to turn on my waterworks at the end :)

But "Brief Encounter" when she nearly kills herself. Given that the film's about British stiff-upper-lippedness actual crying would be most inappropriate, but it certainly does tug at the heart-strings.

Also the conclusion of "Gone With the Wind", much the same reaction - the tragedy that Scarlet finally realises that what she genuine wants is Rhett, just as he finally rejects her. :cry:

Where the oldest boy has to find homes for his siblings
on Christmas Eve (or Christmas Day-- I can't remember which).

Here's the link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050112/

I'm a big weeper:cry:

Glory
Brian's Song
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence
ET

:cry:

always gets the waterworks going for me.

The Notebook.

I am an over-emotional wimp - the last movie we took the kids to, I cried. How embarassing.
:blush:

Good grief! What doesn't? Here's an idea for a thread....What movie that others cry watching doesn't move you at all?

don't know why but it was one of the most awesomely emotional for me, tears of joy, don'tcha know.

A very sad, heartfelt movie.

I always cry when the beast dies in Belle's arms.

Steel Magnolias, Bryan's Song(I'm a guy, OK), Blazing Saddles(not exactly crying, but tears are shed:rofl:)

I only like to watch it when I'm melancholy

The young actress is just amazing

and felt like slashing my wrists at the end, it was so sad. The little girl's final fantasy(?) meeting with her dead mother where she learns to go on with her life is extremely touching, especially because of the charm and bewitchment of that little girl's amazing performance.

I'd love to know what she is doing now. I do hope she keeps acting.

Back in 3rd grade, for some reason, the teacher showed us "The Land Before Time" (the cartoon dinosaur movie), and for some reason, I ended up crying. I haven't seen the movie since, so I don't remember what the hub-bub was about. I also remember getting a little misty-eyed during "The Adventures of Milo and Otis" (movie about a dog and cat who get lost in the Japanese countryside and narrated by Dudley Moore). Other than that, I haven't cried during a movie in a while.

I wept uncontrollably on Hertel Avenue in Buffalo after seeing that at the North Park.

The same thing happened to me in D.C. when I went to see Life Is Beautiful.

Romero was also unbelievably intense. I cried all the way through that. Frankly, a good many films make me cry.

Pass the tissues, please.

"You cannot find peace by avoiding life."

Quite a movie.


Not sure if "Beaches" was mentioned.

"Remember the Titans" was a good one, as well.

Not only makes me cry but gives me suicidal thoughts. Sad, sad, sad movie. So sad.

:(

I still watch it about once a year, and always cry.

It's a two hour movie about the death of a father (among other things), and it gets my grief up over the death of my parents.

When Justine died, I cried for the first time in years.

When Deets dies and Gus reads what Woodrow wrote:
It says, "Josh Deets. Served with me 30 years. Fought In 21 engagements with the Comanche and the Kiowa. Cheerful in all weathers. Never shirked a task. Splendid behavior." That's what it says.

And then when Gus is dying this scene:
(whispers) Augustus.
"By God, Woodrow; it's been one hell of a party."

These 2 scenes have me in tears everytime I see this movie. BTW Lonesome Dove is one of my all time favorite movies,there are many memorable scenes/lines.

Terms of Endearment:
Right before Emma dies she waves goodbye to Aurora,I think this is one of the most touching scenes ever in a movie and no words are spoken at all.

Million Dollar Baby:
The end of this movie was heartwrenching and very well acted imo.

I know there's more but these are the ones that came to mind immediately.

-Matty

killed me, I said.

I said the same thing down below. Lonesome Dove is a very powerful, authentic movie. Gus, Call, Lorena, Deets, Pea, Jake.... what great characters. I never tire of it.

I was reading it during a meeting and a lady came over and asked me what part I was reading. She said she'd seen me get all misty and saw what I was reading. I thought the movie did honor to the book. You need 6+ hrs to tell that story right.

I expected to laugh and also to be very angry but I didn't expect to cry like a baby.

in F911! :cry:

friend? Can you see that you will always be my friend?"

That final scene in Dances With Wolves where the wild and fierce Lakota warrior Wind In His Hair cries down from the mountain always gets to me, no matter how many times I've seen it.

Whadda great movie.

gets to me. When Moore is telling the reporter at the end to write his story and tell how his men died, just get the water works going. It was after reading this book, my father finally broke loose and told my mother how he got injured during the war back in 1968. He has shrapnel still in his right lung to this day and had a piece removed 2 years ago from his leg, that worked it's way out of the muscle that caused a goose egg sized mass to grow around it. It was a rocket that exploded 50 yards from where he was in a ditch. He was the radio carrier and had his sargent right next to him. The sargent caught the brunt of it and died instantly. My father however stayed in the ditch for 8 hours, breathing with one lung with the medic beside him until the choppers came. It was friendly fire. He was briefed for 3 days on it to not let out what really happened. Just watching that movie, really lets one know how the war really was there. I know that it has an actor that people do not like, but a movie that depicts how the war was there in the beginning.

Gibson was brilliant as Col Moore in that movie. I don't care what anyone says about him.

It's got the mother-of-all tear-jerking happy endings, IMHO.

What an indictment of the human race. :-(

my favorite movie.

one of my favorite films. And I hear its a grea book. I mustcheck out Waking the Dead.

I'm not into romance books or movies, but the political and romantic themes in this one were interesting. I almost felt like it was a movie about me, and Jennifer Connelly's character in the film is my dream woman.

There is something about the dad (sam ?)That just makes me weep. My daughter and I watch it every year.

julianne moore, ralphe fiennes and steven rae

I guess of the movies I have on DVD when Jude Law's character says: 'you gave me your dream'

or when the Doctor does what he does.

Have a good cry every year....

Every time I see it, I spend the first part of it angry, angry, angry. Then, at the end, when Elton John starts singing, I cry so hard I have to go somewhere by myself.

The Color Purple - at the end, when Celie is reunited with her sister and her children.

Philadelphia - Several scenes.

I hope I NEVER see that movie again. My husband TOLD us not to watch it, but I said, "It's a CARTOON, how sad can it be?".

My two daughters and I (10 and 14) STILL tear up when we think about it.

Absolutely the SADDEST movie I've EVER seen.

watch it again. It shook me for months.

The scene where he goes to visit his mother when she's in the cage? I'm tearing up now just typing this.

Here are some sleepers:
"Almost Famous": in the beginning, where the boy's big sister runs off to become a stewardess and she leaves her favorite records for him. As a guy with two great older sisters that scene really got me.

"A League of Their Own": only one scene here. Where Marla, the ugly girl, is trying out without showing her face to Jon Lovitz; when he sees her and says no thanks, she just slumps in the direction of her father as if to say "I'm sorry." That wrecks me when I see it.

"Babette's Feast": not sad, but beautiful. At the end of the meal, the old folks walk outside and dance in a circle while holding hands...there is something so beautiful about that scene.

I have to leave the room when the kids watch that movie.

The part where Jenny dies. I mean He finally gets the girl of his dreams then she ends up with a terminal illness.

and Titanic

Hiss at me if you will.

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

After all, I directed the sequel...

I have it bookmarked so I can read it when I have the time. :thumbsup:

The funeral at the very end, when Molly joins her mother in the salute. I'm hopeless...

:cry:

Return to Snowy River.

When he shoots Kip, I can not breath. I tear up and get sick feeling.

"Sophie's Choice"
"Schindler's List"

There are more but I can't recall right now.

MiwSher

Life is Beautiful: obviously it's a sad movie but the scene that makes me SOB is toward the end where the dad goes GOOSE STEPPING with the guard, pretending it's a joke with the guard for the sake of his son...

Platoon: I ALWAYS cry during the scene in which Elias is left behind and Chris sees him get shot to death.

One True Thing: JEEEZUS, that whole movie is a cry-fest.

Steel Magnolias: Throughout, but mostly the cemetary scene.

Forrest Gump: All of it, really, but especially when Jenny says "Why are you so good to me?" and Forrest says "You're my girl." I LOVE Forrest. And I love that movie.

Disclaimer: I cry in nearly every movie. I even cry EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch "You've Got Mail"!!! When they meet in the park, I bawl...even though I know it's such a contrived, formulaic ending...I still cry.

and about a brazillion others. I cry very easily while watching movies.

:hide:

i get misty...

Just thinking about all the veterans that were left out in the cold after vietnam, and knowing the same thing is happening today. I just though of all the 20 year kids today who are now missing a limb thanks to a bullshit war.

That movie kills me... and ironically the 1st time I saw it I hated the Kevin Spacey character so much I wanted to kill him.

On second viewing --VERY sad movie and so relevant to this bushit admin IMO

Made me cry. Most recently, "Ray"

Wonderfully metaphorical stories about ourselves in relationship. Also, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn from the same guy who did On the Waterfront.

Schindler's List
Boys Don't Cry

When Anne Bronski commiserates with Sasha, who has to wear a pink triangle because he is gay. There's just something about these people finding humor under such tragic circumstances that makes it really powerful to me.

I sob like a baby every time I see it.

"No following..."

"I...am....Superman..."

about pancake mix.

Maybe I am mixing this with another old movie.

What a sad, beautiful movie.

OK it's a miniseries but one of the best films ever. I defy anyone watch Gus die and not tear up.
