Watership Down. It guts me every time!

And maybe Beaches.

Aimeebabyx · #2 25th January 2009, 23:23

Snow white.

Dunno why.

The only film to ever make me cry was The Mission

" the fall " made me cry when the little girl was crying

and " life is beautiful " when hes being marched off by those guards...

only two films I think to ever bring a tear to my eye.

the sad bit with the dog in I am Legend

tbh any film with a animal dying/suffering has me in tears!

RattyLady · #9 25th January 2009, 23:36

I forgot Schindler's List as well.

MooseOfDoom · #10 25th January 2009, 23:45

City of Angels - Nicholas Cage film, not the Crow sequel..

RattyLady · #11 26th January 2009, 00:07

Have you seen Leaving Las Vegas with Nic Cage? So harrowing and heart-breaking, a real ****ed-up love story

Stepford · #12 26th January 2009, 02:47

One flew over the cuckoo's nest. The ending feels like a sucker punch every damn time. I'll be ready for it next time I tell ya...

Rosabel · #13 26th January 2009, 07:52

Beaches,and Titanic always makes me cry.

W!llow · #14 26th January 2009, 08:10

Schindlers List, The Pianist -definitely did, a bit more than a tear. Anything similar probably would move me in the same way watching films about war often makes me feel incredibly angry too.

Shanibandangle · #15 26th January 2009, 08:59

Artificial Intelligence.

I honestly do cry at absolutely anything though- except most films which seems to be odd.

I cry when X Factor contestants cry, I cried when an anorexic girl on telly's dad cried.

Well being a man i don't cry watching movies (

), but those two are real tear jerkers.

The scene in "I Am Legend" when Smiths character has lost the dog and is pleading with this mannequin to talk to him was pretty rotten.

Mind you i've never actually "cried" watching movies, some do bring tears to my eyes if the scene's pretty poignant or relevant to me.

Me too. I can't even listen to 'Bright Eyes' without getting a bit misty-eyed.

Charlotte's Web is another that gets to me.

Requiem for a Dream never fails.

RattyLady · #19 26th January 2009, 10:19

[Pedant] re Watership Down, Bright Eyes actually plays during a sequence in the middle of the film, when the rabbit Fiver who is a sort of 'seer' had a vision of the Black Rabbit of Inle. Hazel dies at the end of the film, when he is a happy tired old bunny, and the Black Rabbit comes to him and says :-

"You've been feeling tired," said the stranger, "but I can do something about that. I've come to ask whether you'd care to join my Owsla. We shall be glad to have you and you'd enjoy it. If you're ready, we might go along now."

And off he hops

[/pedant]

dumbo - when his mums locked up for trying to protect him and he goes to her and gets rocked in her truck.

The last film I wailed at was PS I Love You. I cry at most films these days

Another great film, not for the faint-hearted though, eesh

'Contact' when the aliens communicate with Jody Foster's character by representing themselves as her long-lost dad. Then at the end of the film the first credit just reads 'for Carl' because Carl Sagan died before it was finished...

Stand By Me, also

hellotiger · #25 26th January 2009, 13:34

Loads of films make me cry so I'll just name a few that no-one has mentioned.

Bicentennial Man
When Harry Met Sally (happy cry)
Bridge To Terabithia (unnecessarily sad film, never going to watch it ever again)
Pursuit Of Happyness (cried all the way though and is the reason I'm never going to watch Seven Pounds)

Oh God. I wailed like a newborn watching that.

"Sophie's Choice" starring a young Meryl Streep.

The "choice" scene has to be one of the most disturbing moments in mainstream cinema.

Holz · #28 26th January 2009, 19:02

If you can get past all the graphic lesbian sex, Gia is actually a really sad, powerful film.
Someone mentioned Of Mice and Men, which I had to hold back the tears to when we watched it in English in year 10. Very sad.

TheBritishDisease · #29 26th January 2009, 19:07

on the edge

faith · #30 26th January 2009, 19:48

Eveeerything makes me cry it doesnt take much at all.
Anything on telly or a film which is slightly sad pushes me over the edge!

Titanic had me in floods of tears at the cinema
Recently sex and the city the movie had me a mess crying at the cinema!

Other films gorillas in the mist, the corpse bride makes me cry at the end, ET, Neverending story when the horse sinks in quicksand!!
