What movie makes you cry?

[Sannum]

For me it is "Charlottes Web". I can't believe something that dark and depressing was made for children..(yes, I know it was a book first)

When the spider dies, I just start bawling:cry:

[johnnie]

1. OK

I'll admit this. "West Side Story"

[NoQuarter]

2. The Color Purple

When Celie's sister and children return at the end of the movie, it's all over for me. Every time.

Just saw it last Saturday, and after 20 years, it still gets me.

[Floogeldy]

3. Most of the silly ones.

I'm a total movie-crying wuss.

I bawl at the end of "Working Girl."

:cry:

[claudiajean]

41. The last five minutes of Working Girl are the best!

[Quixote1818]

4. 'Shadowlands' made me cry. So did 'Where the Red Fern's Grow'

when I was little. 'About Schmidt' made me cry at the end.

[mntleo2]

5. The Color Purple

When they sing "God Is Tryin' To Tell You Something" (getting out the kleenex just thinking about it)

Cat In Seattle

[CanuckAmok]

6. "The Cradle Will Rock"

,,,

[sleipnir]

35. Good movie...

I get pretty close to weepy with that one. I really don't cry at movies, but I do get close with some.

[Heidi]

7. All of the Star Trek, Star Wars and LOTR movies . . .

I realize that's probably sacrilege here, but they make me cry out for respite. :cry:

[Floogeldy]

8. Star Trek IV is my fave!

:)

[Heidi]

10. How shall I phrase this so as not to offend?

:boring: and :puke:

[Floogeldy]

23. I was thinking more along the lines of . . .

. . . "Don't mind him, he took too much LDS . . ."

And . . . "I thought I told you never to call me here."

:)

[Heidi]

24. What's LDS?

Latter-Day Saints? :shrug:

[Floogeldy]

31. Gracie is pregnant.

;)

[Heidi]

32. Rumormonger.

:P

[Speck Tater]

9. The first time I saw Saving Private Ryan.

All ALL the Shirley Temple movies when I was a little kid.

[Old_Fart]

11. "Stella"

:cry:

[Bat Boy]

12. Dracula: Dead and Loving It

What the fuck was Mel Brooks thinking?

[etch a sketch prez]

17. I must disagree.

I thought Dracula: Dead and Loving It was great. Robin Hood: Men in Tights, on the other hand, feh.

[Old_Fart]

20. You have to have a sense of humor when it comes to Mel Brooks

Dracula and Life Stinks were both brilliant. Robin Hood left much to be desired.

[Bat Boy]

47. Did you just say "You have to have a sense of humor...

...when it comes to Mel Brooks"?

Oh, now that's freakin' hysterical.

[Bat Boy]

21. I must disagree with your disagreement

In my view, anything after Spaceballs is toxic.

[Wetzelbill]

13. Journey of Hope (it's foreign)

Madadayo, which was Kurosawa's last film I believe did too.

I can really get sucked into some stuff though. It just depends.

"The Agronomist" which is a documentary by Jonathan Demme, about Haitian radio journalist Jean Dominique had me in tears too. It was beautiful the way that man fought for free speech.

[Kenneth ken]

14. mostly

those in black and white

or those in color.

I cry a lot during movies. :)

when the guy gets the girl
when the guy doesn't get the girl

when the dog makes it home safe
when the dog dies

when the hero dies
when the hero lives

when the heroine dies
when the heroine lives

if the bad guy is an interesting enough character, when the bad guy dies.

Truly, I think it's the music that does it. I don't cry often in real life, even in situations that ought to bring tears. I think it's because there's rarely a soundtrack to real life.

[Bossy Monkey]

15. Every. single. frickin'. one of them

Hell, I cried seeing Big Daddy on TV. I am the softest touch on Earth as far as manipulative movies go. Practically never cry the rest of the time.

[Wetzelbill]

27. lol

that's pretty cool though. Nice to get the emotions out every once in a while.

[hickman1937]

16. An HBO series called Grand Avenue.

Probably no one has seen it, but it was about a Native American mom who brought her kids to a neighborhood where she had family. It was kind of a last stop in her fucked up world, but the kids started to thrive and grow. But life caught up with them again.

[hickman1937]

19. Or maybe it was Showtime.

[WildClarySage]

18. Graveyard of Fireflies.

[jobycom]

36. A Grave for Fireflies is...

:cry: just too sad.

[DerekG]

37. "Grave of the Fireflies" has haunted me for years

There was one scene, in which the spirit can not even look at his (live) sister without weeping.

Sometimes I wonder what level of Hell we Americans are going to find ourselves in.

[Ladyhawk]

22. Schindler's List, Old Yeller, Return of the King, and believe it or not

Star Wars: Ep. III. Don't hurt me. :( Oh yeah, Artificial Intelligence made me cry, too.

[xmas74]

34. Doesn't everyone cry during Old Yeller?

[Dogmudgeon]

25. They're doing a remake of Charlotte's Web

Read more about it here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0413895/

The book absolutely knocked me over. I read it in 3rd grade and immediately started wearing black.

I read it again about a month ago, and, no, 38 years didn't make a bit of difference -- except this time it's too hot to dress like a beatnik. :)

--p!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

26. Tender Mercies.

[tedoll78]

28. Spirited Away.

I bawl like a frickin' baby at the end every time I see it.
If you haven't seen it, treat yourself. My fvorite animated movie of all time. Probably one of my favorite movies.. period.

[etch a sketch prez]

29. Don't judge me, but

I seem to remember crying or coming close to it when I saw A League of Their Own when I was in 5th grade. My emotions have hardened considerably since then. For instance, Batman Returns just gave me a headache. Maybe Danny Devito should have stopped after Louis DiPalma.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

30. See Tin Men.

It wont make you cry, unless yer laughing so hard...

[Jade Fox]

51. I own a copy of "League....

It's a tear-inducer--the kind of crying out of pride that happens. I was
really proud of what those women did.

[AtomicKitten]

33. Movies with animals treated badly ...

Instinct, Black Beauty, etc. Cannot handle animal cruelty. Blow the shit out of people. No problem. But lay off the critters.

[friesianrider]

46. Geez, me too...

Makes me sad and angry, too.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

38. Kindergarten Cop.

[claudiajean]

39. Schindler's List. n/t

[Allenberg]

45. Same here.

It never fails.

[MrScorpio]

40. It's A Wonderful Life

and Spartacus

[khashka]

42. Urbania

The white room scene when Dan Futterman tells his dead lover that he killed the man who killed him. And his dead lover is shocked, but of course he didn't really do it....


Charlotte's Web. But not so much Charlotte's death. That just causes a few tears to leak out. I can control myself. It's when Wilbur says "Salutations!" to her kids that I totally lose it.

And almost every Christmas kids show. Frosty, Little Drummer Boy. Frosty dies, the drummer boy's lamb gets run over, even in the Muppet one Mew the catnip mouse dies. What the fuck? Sure they all get resurrected, but that's too little too late! Talk about childhood trauma! Even the Grinch! He beats that little dog and steals Cyndi Lou Who's Christmas. Sure he gets nice and the dog is OK and the Whos have a great celebration. And nobody dies. But what is wrong with these people? Even Christmas has to be traumatic????? I can't make it through Christmas without bawling like a baby.


Khash.

[Gothic Sponge]

43. Police Academy 4

It hurts my eyes! :cry:

[ps1074]

44. The Green Mile

:cry:

[Splatter Phoenix]

48. Hmm...

The Bicentennial Man or whatever they renamed the Positronic Man remake of Asimov's, Edward Scissorhands (Every time) and sometimes Nightmare Before Christmas, even though it has a happy ending. Session 9 makes me tear up but not actually cry because the ending is sad... :cry:

[caty]

49. "The Fox and the Hound"

"Terms of Endearment"-----"Steel Magnolias"---but the one I just can't watch because it upsets me too much is "Alex, Portrait of a Child". I just fall to pieces at the end of that movie.:cry:

[auntAgonist]

50. Angels in America.

very moving.

[El Fuego]

52. "The Notebook"

:cry::cry::cry:

Major tear-fest.
