Name some movies that make you cry.

[SarahB]

I watched the movie "50 First Dates" again tonight. It made me cry the first time. I didn't think it could do it again. It did. It isn't even that great of a movie and it still did. :cry: Lots of movies make me cry. Too many.

[maxpower]

1. Raising Arizona

The ending hit me hard after we had my daughter. Not in a bad way though.

[mark11727]

41. I love Hi's last dream in that movie...

...and the enormous family he imagines.

[maxpower]

79. That's what made me cry

That dream was the kicker after my daughter was born.

[Snoggera]

2. Midnight Cowboy

was the first, and there have been many since.

[MrScorpio]

3. the last five minutes of It's a Wonderful Life

The last five minutes of Spartacus
and the last five minutes of Antoine Fisher

They all have me bawling like a baby

[pagerbear]

12. God yes!

[MrScorpio]

15. Any one or all three?

nt

[Wapsie B]

4. Farenheit 9/11.

I must've been the last one here to see it. Went this afternoon. Parts of it really got to me.

[CO Liberal]

50. Me, Too

If I go see it again, I'm bringing some Kleenex.

[freetobegay]

5. Torch Song Trilogy

[TeacherCreature]

53. Me too

I love that movie. How can anyone be so evil as to beat up Mathew Broderick?

[fortyfeetunder]

6. Final Impact

For a space nut like myself...I get emotional in the scene where the astronauts say goodbye to their families before they go kamikaze and nuke the asteroid.

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. Deep Impact - Yes, great film

I thought it was a much better movie than Armageddon, although they had their similarities and came out the same year. I don't think I cried when the astronaugts were saying goodbye to their families, but when the girl (Leelee Sobeiski) was taking her baby brother/sister and saying goodbye to her parents, oh may, I sobbed.

The most recent movie I cried at was Fahrenheit 9/11.

[Ilsa]

67. ITA! I thought Deep Impact was much better than Armageddon.

When Tia Leone's character gives up her spot on the helocopter to her coworker and her daughter, I freaked. Those other scenes had me wailing also.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

7. Chaplin's The Kid (nt)

[charlyvi]

8. Wuthering Heights

the Merle Oberon/Laurence Olivier version.

Sophie's Choice; Out of Africa

[sundog]

9. Some Kind of Wonderful

from 1987 -- watched it a few months ago, choked me up again...

[SarahB]

87. It's on right now on AMC!

One of the better 80's teen sort of movies.
(And the another question: Where was Eric Stolz's character when I was that age around that time?)

[sundog]

90. That movie had the biggest impact on my youth-

I was 16 when it came out & it spoke to me --it's all about being true to yourself & your dreams... When I watched it again recently, I realized that I remained true to my ideals, that I hadn't sold myself...

The best line in the whole thing is "It's better to be alone for the right reasons than with someone for the wrong ones."

[SarahB]

91. Damn strait!

Good line. :thumbsup:
I like that movie a lot too (and I think I spent a lot of time NOT staying true to myself though- lived the dreams of other people I think to not have to be alone, but I've got a few years left at least in life to try to change that). I don't own it, but I do have an old cassette of the soundtrack. I like that a lot too. :D

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. Also: Madame X. (nt)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

11. Also: Platoon. (when Willem Dafoe is left behind) (nt)

[belladonna]

13. My Life

Hamburger Hill
Rush (?) Had Jason Patric in it, I think that's the name of it anyway :))
Forrest Gump
City of Angels (Make fun of me for that one, I deserve it)

[sundog]

17. bella! you've let yourself out of the dungeon again! :)

:hi:

[belladonna]

19. Hi sweetie!!!

I've just been really busy, but hopefully I'll be posting more in the days ahead. Did ya miss me? Cause I've missed you!! :hug:

[sundog]

22. yes, I've been off too...

THE week from hell, only the Convention kept me sane :)

[belladonna]

27. Wasn't it great???

Obama, Sharpton, Kerry, Edwards, the Big Dawg.... loved all of the speeches this year, with very few exceptions. So is it time for the DULL group to be reunited or what? Perhaps we'll find out tomorrow night :D

[SarahB]

62. City of Angels is a good one!

Hell, I just cry at the Goo Goo Dolls theme song.

Iris

And I’d give up forever to touch you
’cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that i’ll
Ever be
And I don’t want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
’cause sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t want to miss you tonight

And I don’t want the world to see me
’cause I don’t think that they’d
Understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t
Coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you’re alive

And I don’t want the world to see me
’cause I don’t think that they’d
Understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don’t want the world to see me
’cause I don’t think that they’d
Understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don’t want the world to see me
’cause I don’t think that they’d
Understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

You've got an excellent cryfest list there. :thumbsup:

[Sensei]

16. big time tearjerker alert

Imitation of Life

oldie but goodie

[TeacherCreature]

54. Mama Mama

I'm sorry Mama, I didn't mean it!

[classof56]

18. Casablanca

Okay, call me a sentimental fool. I know that movie by heart, and it never fails to get to me. Several others that make me cry, but right now I'm just a tired old granny who spent the day at the county fair with her 16-10-and 7-year-old grandkids. Saw a couple of Bush-Cheney bumper stickers, and got so depressed I almost cried on the midway at the thought of my grandchildren going off to die in one of this mis-administration's stupid wars. I'm convinced they will come if for some awful reason these two assholes are elected. Time to watch Casablanca again, so no one will question why I'm bawling my eyes out.

More than anyone wanted to hear, I'm sure. Sleep well, everyone. And

Bush Must Go!!!

[Mara Steele]

20. "50 First Dates"...Oh my... GOD!! Ugh...

...Maybe it was just all the ultra-cutesy hetero guy/hetero girl stuff in it, but I couldn't STAND that flick... :puke:

...Sorry, no offense, SarahBelle.. :hi:

Well, the last movie that made me cry... was... unbelievably... THE HOT CHICK!! :D Yes, the one with Rob Schneider...

Felt like it had some great moral messages in it -- including a very subversive, queer-friendly, gender-fuck plot with an absolute ANGEL of a sensitive, cross-dressing little boy.

I laughed my ass off, and got quite teary a few times... :-)

I think I cried at "Mona Lisa Smile"...

Oh, and "Luther"... Ya know, about Martin Luther, THE Protestant reformer??
Oh, my GOD... I had tears streaming down my cheeks for the whole first HOUR of that film. It did such an excellent job in portraying his passion, and the injustice of the era that he fought against...

An incredible film, please do see it...

[SarahB]

58. You know what it was?

It was that this man was drawn to this woman, cared for her, and even though there were huge hurdles to get through, he tried. Every day he tried and was there for her. He didn't just write her off as some useless person. That's what gets me because in reality (at least in my life experiences) people just aren't capable of that kind of stuff.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

65. I agree...this was one of Adam Sandler's better movies

It didn't have the same impact on me as it seems to have on you but I can definitely see where you are coming from and I agree with you totally

I'm not generally an Adam Sandler fan -and the fact that it's been reported that he's a * supporter doesn't enhance his popularity me-but he came across very well in this movie and the script for his character was very well-written and well-portrayed.

[Mara Steele]

69. I think that's very sweet, SarahBelle --

:hi:
I guess it was just too much cutesy "hetero" stuff for me in some way, I couldn't identify w/either character....

Plus I felt the native Hawaian character was fairly stereotypical & racist, and that drove me nuts...

But I see what you're saying, and that's very sweet.

[Zomby Woof]

21. Just watched 'October Sky'

That did it. Lots of movies do. I am a softy, I kid you not.

[Wapsie B]

23. A good feel-good movie.

n/t

[nuxvomica]

24. Remember the Titans, Frequency, Dragonfly,...

It's a Wonderful Life, Fahrenheit 911, Field of Dreams, The Four Feathers, The Lord of The Rings: Return of the King, To Kill a Mockingbird, 8 Men Out, etc....

[SarahB]

63. Dragonfly got me too.

Oh man, the ending. Holy Hell. It was like a waterfall. :cry:

[givemebackmycountry]

25. This is easy

Go to Blockbuster or Best Buy or Amazon.com and get this movie.

"Ponette"

The most amazing performance by a 4 year old ever.

Get it.

It's one of the all time great tear jerkers.

[Mara Steele]

28. Yah, great film! n/t

[sundog]

26. Moulin Rouge

sorry to the haters, I think it's a beautiful movie

[SiouxJ]

80. That gets me too

and I agree with you. Everything about it was over the top, yes, but that was the point. It makes me laugh and cry every time. It's beautiful, funny, super-silly and sad. It has it all.

[TexasBushwhacker]

29. Okay here we go

Terms of Endearment

American Beauty (I have a hard time with the scene where the father starts beating Ricky, right out of nowhere)

Schindler's List

Forrest Gump (when he asks Jenny if his son is smart)

ET (when they thought he was dead)

[Nevernose]

30. The Color Purple

When WHooopi finally finds her long-lost sister, I cry every time. Of course, that's only if no one else's around.

[sundog]

32. ohhh that's a doozy too -- I forgot all about that -- even the music makes

me :cry:

[pbg]

31. I cry at geese

Fly Away Home

Robin and Marian (THE Best: Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn, Nicol Williamson, Richard Harris, Robert Shaw--script by James Goldman (Lion in Winter, They Might Be Giants), directed by Richard Lester, score by John Barry...find it and watch it!)

What Dreams May Come

Philadelphia

Franco Zeffirelli's La Traviata

Mr. Holland's Opus

Shoah

[playahata1]

33. "Dead Presidents" has brought me CLOSE to tears every time I see it.

A Vietnam veteran's coming home to nothing and going to prison trying to get something really upsets me.

[Reciprocity]

34. Ole Yeller , Bambi, Finding Nemo.

But the I don't have enough tissues left in the box movies are Somewhere in Time, and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

[CandyCrim21]

35. Mystic River but the most recent.......

was the Notebook. HE, wasnt too happy about seeing that one. LOL;)

[Red State Rebel]

Terms of Endearment, Steel Magnolias, Pennies From Heaven

[Red State Rebel]

36. Terms of Endearment, Steel Magnolias, Pennies From Heaven

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

37. Breakfast Club - it did it tonight

granted, its my 29th birthday!

[Mara Steele]

40. Aww!!

Here's a :hug:, wish I could have been there to celebrate...

:toast: :pals: :yourock:

[sir_captain]

38. The ending of City Lights

gets me every time.

[Taverner]

39. Field of Dreams

OK...throw things at me...go ahead....the catch scene in the end does it for me (I gots me some daddy issues)

[mark11727]

43. I lost my dad eight years ago...

... even though we did lots of things together in my younger days, I don't recall us ever having a catch (I could be wrong).

When my own 13-year-old son casually asked for a catch earlier this summer, I remembered the movie, switched off the computer, got our gloves and a bag-o-baseballs, and had the time of my 50-year-old life.

Better late than never, I guess.

[Taverner]

44. Sigh....I will play catch with Nate

When he comes of age (he's 1 now)

[BrotherBuzz]

42. 'A Thousand Clowns'...

and 'Morgan - A Suitable Case for Treatment'.

[TXlib]

45. My list

Au Revoir, les Enfants
La Vita e Bella
Schindler's List (Anybody see a pattern here?)
Band of Brothers
Saving Private Ryan
Tears of the Sun

Generally, feel-good, heartwarming movies don't make me cry. Movies depicting real horrors do.

[RandomKoolzip]

46. Rushmore.

The last scene, when the DJ at the dance cues up "Ooh La La" by the Faces, alwys reduces me to a blubbering, teary mess.

That and the last fifteen minutes of Harold and Maude: 'Trouble" by Cat Stevens......oy.

And...Over the Edge: the last scene, where the kids are being led away on a bus headed for the correctional facility, and the music is "Ooooh, child, things are gonna get easier...." Seriously. This is one of my favorite flicks, and that ending always made me weep.


AlsO:

It's a Wonderful Life
World According to Garp
Fahrenheit 9/11
Born on the Fourth of July
Raising Arizona

[Skittles]

47. I defy you not to blubber at the end of Hilary and Jackie

nt

[flamingyouth]

82. Oh, me too

I saw that on a chilly winter's night by myself in Santa Monica and wept all the way back to my hotel. It was just absolutely heart-wrenching. I loved that movie.

[AlFrankenFan]

48. Glory, for one

The part where Robert Gould Shaw is about to lead his men to attack Fort Wagner makes me bawl because I know of their grim fate :cry:

The ending of Hannibal for one reason or another made me cry as well. The War Room makes me cry in happiness when they show the Clinton victory too...heheheheh...nostalgia.

[CanuckAmok]

49. "The Cradle Will Rock"...you can't be a Liberal and not cry at that one!

Also: Wings of Desire, Slingblade, Blade Runner.

[LostInAnomie]

51. The Green Mile

For some reason it makes me tear up like nothing else.

[dancing kali]

52. Truly, Madly, Deeply

A three box of kleenex movie...

[philosophie_en_rose]

74. The ending was so sad.

:(

Alan Rickman and Juliet Stevenson were amazing. Ghost can't even compare to this movie.

[flamingyouth]

84. I love that movie

One of my all-time favorites.

[scottcsmith]

55. Big he-man no cry!

Okay, there have been a few movies that affected me emotionally.

Most recently, Fahrenheit 9/11. Yes, this heartless pinko commie liberal cried, two times, one for the footage (well, sound) of the 9/11 attack itself, and then for that mother who lost her son in Iraq.

Cried a bit during Saving Private Ryan.

Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind was sad.

The Crow always gets to me. I'm not sure why, but it connects with me emotionally big-time.

[nightperson]

56. "Waking the Dead" (the movie, not the TV show)

is very powerful. I've never seen anything like it. Hope this review
encourages people to seek it out at the video store or wherever.

[tedoll78]

57. Breakfast at Tiffanys

Right at the end. It's raining, George is gone, Cat is gone, and Holly is alone in the alley..

And then.. 'Moon River' begins to play..

*sniff*

[LeftishBrit]

60. I don't often cry at films but....

Zefirelli's "La Traviata" - I've seen that three times, and sobbed each time.

[SayitAintSo]

59. The Yearling ....

A real 3 hankie .... make you really boo hoo ;(

[Deja Q]

61. Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan

Gotta be one.

[bleedingheart]

64. Lorenzo's Oil

I cried a river over that movie as well as others...but that one still just makes me cry no matter how many times I see it.

[Ilsa]

66. "Love Actually" and "Return of the King"

I felt so badly for Sam and Frodo.

I think all of the love stories made me teary, but the writer and housekeeper story was extremely romantic. Emma Thompson's storyline had my crying out of sadness, and the rest were wonderful as well. I love that movie.

[greatauntoftriplets]

68. "Empire of the Sun".

That last scene where Jim is walking through the stadium filled with beautiful furniture and then sees his parents. They look so damned healthy and Jim so thin and shell-shocked.... I can only guess the thoughts going through the parents' minds and the guilt they feel for what their son has suffered through while they were safe. There also is palpable relief on all three, because -- no matter what has happened -- they are all still alive and have found each other.

[Paladin]

88. I'll Tell You The Part That Gets To Me

When Jim is looking at the fighter plane and the three Japanese pilots snap to attention and return his salute. A perfectly executed, beautifully staged and filmed scene. Wipes me out every time......

[RebelOne]

70. Any film where an animal gets killed.

To name a few: The Yearling, Old Yeller, Turner and Hootch.

[DemWitch]

71. hmmmm...

Titanic.... There's a boat, Jack
Steel Magnolias... I wanna know whyyyyyy
Braveheart... Freeeeee-dommmmm
The Incredible Journey.... when the old dog finally shows up limping along

[Zorro]

72. Tears of the Sun

Very powerful. "God has left Africa".

[timtom]

73. Imitation of Life

With Lana Turner. I saw it when I was 16 and couldn't believe that a movie could make me cry. This one did, and has never failed to make me cry since then. Also "Dubmo". And the original "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" and "On Borrowed Time."

[Kadie]

75. Something for Joey

This movie always makes me cry.



A national football star tries to win one for his little brother who is dying of leukemia.

[ploppy]

76. Babe

I don't know why but I sobbed uncontrollably. People must have thought I was nuts.

[chemteacher]

77. The Mission

Granted....it came out when I was a student at a Jesuit college so I have some personal attachment there...but DeNiro, Liam Neeson, and Jeremy Irons are BRILLIANT in it. The end of the movie rips me up pretty well.

[PassingFair]

78. The one that ALWAYS gets me...

is Empire of the Sun. In the end, when Jim's parents don't recognize him. I ALWAYS cry. Can't help it.
and yeah, Mystic River got to me, too.

On edit: Just noticed that you feel the same way, greataunt!

[Culture Mind]

81. Billy Elliot

I get a little choked up just thinking about it.
Great movie.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

83. City of Angels, ET, Charlotte's Web

EVERY TIME

[flamingyouth]

89. Charlotte's Web!

Oh gods, I cried for two days after seeing that as a little girl. I love that story so much. :sniff: Oh, "some pig" indeed. :)

[grannylib]

85. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" gets me every time - Tracy's final

scene where Hepburn is brimming over in the background just gets to me.
I also love the scene where the Monsignor tells Joanna and John that the two of them make him "quite extraordinarily happy."
Love it, love it, love it.

[flamingyouth]

86. I can cry at the drop of a hat

But I always cry in "Breakfast at Tiffany's," when Holly lets Cat out of the taxi, and then she and George Peppard reunite and kiss in the rain.

Yes, I am a sappy romantic. :)

[UrbScotty]

92. My Dog Skip (nt)
