Movies that make you CRY.

Here's my typical list, and I am hoping to add more soon!

Schindler's List: lots of scenes but especially the one with the children being taken away. also think this movie has one of the saddest film scores ever.
Lion King: i cried when mufasa died, i know i'm not the only one. lol.
I Am Sam: the court scene. if you've seen this, you'll know which bit i'm talking about.
The Green Mile: the innocent 'black' guy gets executed.
Artificial Intelligence: as the mother abandons haley joel osment he runs after her and begs her not to leave him, but she takes off anyway. sooo mean of her!
Gladiator: the ending scene when maximus dies; i think it's the music in this scene for the most part that really made me cry.

Gladiatior, is a movie that makes me cry too, even though it is one of my favorite movies of all time. I cried at The Lion King too, as well as nearly every other Disney animated classic. I just cried when I watched Cars the other day, lol.

Everytime I watch E.T., I cry from the time that they find him in the river to the time he leaves for home. It was the first movie I saw in a theater, I was about 4, and when they showed him laying in the river all white and sickly, I just lost it.

Other cry movies are: Steel Magnolias, Brokeback Mountain, My Girl, and Pay It Forward(horrible!). The movies Heidi and The Little Princess with Shirley Temple are good tearjerkers too.

But the top movie to make me cry and I hate it because it does, is Old Yeller, damn Disney.

The 25th Hour – The intro...

...and also the ending. This movie is a must-see!

The Village – The Porch Scene...

Charming and gorgeous Bryce Dallas Howard and a shy Joaquin Phoenix in a heart-warming 'magic moment' in one of my favorite movies.


The Thin Red Line – When the US-Soldiers attacking the japanese outpost.

(Not the actual scene from the film – but a taste how sad this movie is)
The music ("Journey To The Line" by Hans Zimmer) in particular makes me cry...



And several moments in the mini-series Band of Brothers...

i want to see a guy cry watching a movie but i've never witnessed it!

I have seen boy cry at a movie. "They made us watch "Where the Red Fern Grows" in 5th grade after we read the book. I vividly remember a boy named Joel just sob and sob at the end.

I know that's not like a man crying, but I'm sure that Joel cries every time he watches a sad movie 'til this day, bless his little heart. I'm not sure if it counts when you're 11 years old though.

"Into the wild" did it for me. Only movie I ever cried at. It's so sad at the end. He was in such a bad state that even the bear didn't want to eat him.

Not that i cried but there are some movies that really touched me, made me sad, broke my heart:

Finding Neverland for example.

Artificial Intelligence – specially that scene in the water with David (H. J. Osment) and Blue Fairy.

A Perfect World, the scene in the end where Butch (Costner) and Buzz (TJ Lowther) have to say goodbye – ok, i admit, i don’t know what it but this is the movie that made my eyes wet, lol. After the first time i thought it had to be a mistake but then i saw the movie again and ... i have no idea what’s this all about.

And then what’s the most pathetic – Star Wars: Episode III – when Anakin becomes Darth Vader.

... if i name some i can think of at the moment.

cool forum signature, silhouette. and i agree with mayjud. artificial intelligience, yes even star wars had some heartbreaking scenes. i didn't cry in that one though.

The last I remember was John Q. That movie was very emotional and I watched that with my uncle at the age of eight-nine-ten-eleven-ish!
And I recommended John Q to my cousin and she ended up weeping and pouring throughout the film; John Q is a really good, powerful film, but only watch once though.

That got me thinking of Sleepless in Seattle where Tom Hanks and another man cry over The Dirty Dozen :D

Don't get me started on this topic. I just cry when somebody else is crying, when it's just a bit sad, so, pretty quick...
But of course the classics as Titanic, The Notebook, Bambi (and every other Disny Classic), I could go on forever.
There is one Dutch movie, that makes everbody cry, guaranteed! "Simon" by Eddy Terstall, a really good movie, heavy and I'm not sure if sad is the right word, but trust me, you need your Kleenex!

P.S. I couldn't find that fast a better link than Wikipedia, for a short synopis.
