Last movie you saw that made you teary-eyed, at best?

[Archae]

I just watched a DVD a friend lent to me.

"Ghost."

The ending had me wiping my eyes.

(BTW, loved what happened to the bad guys!)

[mark414]

1. spike lee's katrina documentary

and it was more than just a little teary eyed :cry:

it made me angry as hell though too

[benny05]

18. I don't have HBO

But when it comes out on DVD, I will rent it.

It's so easy to be sad and angry these days, isn't it? The inhumanity of our govt.

[NewWaveChick1981]

24. I had the same reaction you did.

:cry: For me, one of the saddest stories the documentary told (and they were all very sad) was the young man---a college student---that believed his mother may have gotten out in time, and supposedly rescue workers had checked the house and found no one. He came home as soon as possible to check on her, and with the help of police, found her body under the refrigerator. The travesty was that he had to wait for an autopsy, and because the coroner's office was backed up, he had to wait two more months (until mid-January) to bury her. :cry:

The anger I felt at FEMA and the fuckwads throughout the Federal government---all the way to W---was just rekindled by watching "When the Levees Broke". :grr: :mad: In a situation like that, rescue and recovery SHOULD have been their top priority---rules, regulations, and budgets be damned. :(

[Blue_In_AK]

28. Oh, me, too.

I was okay through the first night, but lost it last night. I was bawling my eyes out by the end.

[MsKandice01]

39. I watched the first night and was able to hold back the tears...

But couldn't sleep at all that night. Neither could my husband. I just couldn't bring myself to watch the second part, even though I really wanted to. I couldn't deal with two sleepless nights in a row. I'll have to catch it when they replay it.

[Shine]

2. "Because of Winn-Dixie"

What can I say? I'm a complete sap, I know... :D

[Seabiscuit]

3. Spike Lee's new documentary on HBO about Katrina.

I don't know if you can call it a movie. It brought tears to my eyes, and made me physically ill.

As for just being teary, the last one that did that for me was Titanic - the first time I saw it.

I've had a thing for Kate Winslett ever since. But it was the old lady that played her as a centenarian that really got to me.

[Iniquitous Bunny]

4. I'm a sap.

I teared up watching an episode of Cold Case Sunday night.

[Haole Girl]

5. Crash

:cry:

[Richard Steele]

6. I got something in my eye at the end of "Kung Fu Hustle".

Hate it when that happens! :cry:

[Broken_Hero]

7. Don't laugh...wait,....

Matrix Revolutions....yeah, yeah...go ahead, laugh it up...:silly:

[begin_within]

8. March of the Penguins - Au Hasard Balthazar - Brokeback Mountain

[RebelOne]

67. I just got March of the Penquins from Blockbuster.

I haven't watched it yet. Please don't tell me there is something in that film that will make me cry. I don't like sad animal movies.

[FedUpWithIt All]

9. Everything is Illuminated....

Incredible film.

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Good call.

And welcome to DU! :hi:

[FedUpWithIt All]

12. Thanks....

:hi:

It is one of my favorites. I also really like Amelie.

[Nicole]

10. Beaches

I watched it last night & cried like a baby at the end.

I've seen that movie before but last night was the first time since my friend passed away.

[MiniMandaRuth]

13. Spirited Away....

Or Brokeback Mountain. That made me cry buckets.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

50. SPIRITED AWAY scared me shitless.

:scared:

:D

[MiniMandaRuth]

54. How the hell can you be scared of a movie

with magical soot balls?

I want one as a pet now.

[Ariana Celeste]

14. Syriana and Munich

Watched them both at the same period of time so I don't remember which of the two was my last. But they both made me cry a bunch.

[ps1074]

15. Finding Neveland

Watched it 2 weeks ago...

[dback]

63. When those orphans came up the street, it was all over for me

I leaned over to my partner and murmured, "I'm going to start crying now." And I did.

[Guava Jelly]

16. V for Vendetta

Amazing flick

[elocs]

29. V for Vendetta--absolutely

The ending had me completely in tears. I wept for what the people did in the realization of where this country has the potential to head.

[Mad_Dem_X]

33. Yes, me too

All the people wearing the masks, moving as one...incredible.

[LeftyMom]

38. Me too, just watched it monday night.

Amazingly good movie.

[NMMNG]

17. Brokeback Mountain

:cry:

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Walk the Line...

:cry:

[ashling]

20. Barnyard

Hey, I cry at movies ... it's what I'm good at.

[querelle]

21. Cinema Paradiso

Was the last movie that made me cry. A long time ago.

Q

[Eurobabe]

66. That is my mom's all time favorite movie

everytime she watches it, she needs a box of tissues.

[Puglover]

22. I get teary eyed at Beauty and the Beast

but I'm a big wuss.

[datasuspect]

23. the last starfighter

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

25. Take Care of My Cat

A wonderful little Korean drama that touched a couple of nerves.

Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exjx_XlwXwQ

& the US website: http://www.kino.com/takecareofmycat/

[bigwillq]

26. The Constant Gardener (nt)

[dback]

27. "My Life Without Me"

Sara Polley as a young woman who finds out she is terminally ill, and matter-of-factly makes a list of things to do before she dies in the next few months: find a new mother for her children and wife for her husband, sleep with someone other than her husband, etc.

I saw this the same day I found out a friend had died of AIDS, and just sat there in the theater weeping almost continuously.

[VelmaD]

30. I'm a sap

I cried yesterday at the ending of Return of the King when Frodo leaves for the Grey Havens. But, in my defense, I'm about to have someone I care about move very far away so I'm pretty easy to tear up right now. :(

[fizzgig]

56. i cried through most of that movie

i saw it with a boyfriend the night before he left for the other side of the world and the scene at the havens killed me

[hippiechick]

31. City of Angels ...

OMG, I was wailing like a baby. :cry:

[martymar64]

32. Ikiru

I ended up sobbing like a little girl!

[KFC]

34. Babe

One hell of a pig.

[crim son]

35. Lately I can watch "Everybody Loves Raymond" and it gets

me going. I am on a strict diet of no sad movies or love movies or music associated with love or loss!

[Joe Fields]

36. Blazing Saddles. I laughed so hard I cried. Also the Exorcist.

My brother and I were on acid at the time and thought it was the funniest damned thing, especially when Regan's head twisted all the way around. We laughed ourselves to tears.

But tearjerker movies don't make me cry. Not even old yeller.

[petronius]

37. Twilight Samurai (nt)

[last_texas_dem]

40. "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"

Hey, I'm just being honest here... :-)

[Monk06]

41. Ponnette

[LaraMN]

42. I'm not much of a movie crier, but F/911 pissed me off so bad, that I

cried out of sheer anger and frustration.

[bertha katzenengel]

43. Crash (POTENTIAL SPOILER - do not read if you haven't seen it)

i detested what happened to the rookie, that's what made me cry

[huskerlaw]

44. United 93

not so much because of the movie itself, but because it reminded me of what has happened to us all since then.

[DemFromMem]

45. In America

Not the last movie I saw, but heard some of the score on Cinemagic today on XM and it made me remember what a tearjerker that great movie was. Not a lot of people saw it, but it was about an undocumented Irish immigrant family in today's New York struggling to survive. A wonderful movie worth renting.

[Kerrytravelers]

46. Brokeback Mountain. It destroys me. It rips my guts out, my heart in two.

I can't imagine losing Mr. kt. I alwaus put myself in the place of Innis and Jack. What if my love for Mr. kt was treated as such. I would be destroyed.

[blue neen]

47. Cold Mountain.

I had read the book and knew what was coming, but I cried my eyes out anyhow. Sobbed, as a matter of fact.

[lost-in-nj]

48. Not a movie

but last night and tonight I watched Little House on the Prairie
It was a 2 parter
Mary and Adams son along with Mrs. Garvey died in a fire at the blind school, and Albert started it!!!!!111


:cry: :cry:



lost

[koneko]

49. I hate to admit it, but Titanic

I was living in Japan when it was released, and was in the midst of a gut-wrenching relationship with one of the natives there at the time. He would coax me to sing the theme song at karaoke, and luckily, because of the lack of overexposure to the song, I loved it.

Well, I made the hardest decision of my life - to leave Japan, and leave him. He passed away unexpectedly a couple of years ago, and I have always related that song, and that movie, to him.

So as Kate Winslet cut Leonaardo loose, and said, "I'll never let go," I just LOST IT. :cry:

[jobycom]

51. I get teary eyed during the "Invincible" trailers... I'm not a Type A sort

apparently.

[NNadir]

52. I always cry at several points in "To Kill A Mockingbird."

I must have seen that movie 20 times, and I wept everytime I saw it.

[CristobalColon]

57. Atticus sitting alone on the porch...

...listening to the kids already in their beds talking about their mother, Atticus's dead wife.

Wit is very difficult to watch - especially the last 10 or 15 minutes.

[NNadir]

61. Another part is when the Reverend tells "Jean Louise" to stand...

...her father is passing.

What father doesn't dream of having that much respect before his child?

It gets me every time.

[dback]

62. "Hey, Boo."

Saw the last 1/2 hour the other day on cable, and that scene where Robert Duvall comes blinking and terrified into the light...and Scout looks at him for a long moment, recognition slowly flooding her face...

Man, I'm tearing up just writing about it.

[insane_cratic_gal]

53. The Family Stone

I don't know why.. but I cried off and on through the whole damn movie!

[terrya]

64. I got sort of teary at the last scene.

When the family meets for one more time...without Diane Keaton's character.

"The Family Stone" is a nice movie.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

55. V for Vendetta

And Braveheart = always. :blush: It's the Scottish pride in me...

[Vidar]

58. "For the Love of the Game"

Sucker for baseball movies, though I haven't followed the sport for 30 years.

[jus_the_facts]

59. Radio...with Ed Harris and Cuba Gooding, Jr.

*SQUALL* :cry:

[Midlodemocrat]

60. Pay it Forward.

Watched it again the other day. Love that movie.

[Eurobabe]

65. Eight Below, about the dogs left at Antartica

Damn, I was crying my eyes out!! Fucking Disney!!

[idgiehkt]

68. what?

oh no...this sounds really sad.

sigh...it's sad. I googled it. They said in reality it was based on a dogs abandoned by a Japanese team and 7 of the 9 dogs died.
:cry:
