Affecting movies.

[~melia~]

I know it's old but......

The Man in the Moon. One of Reese Witherspoon's first movies. I just bawl at the end every time I watch it.

 

[cymbidia]

Glory with Denzel Washington. The end scene when the regiment leads the march gets me every time.

Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. I cry all the way through this movie.

Forest Gump with Tom Hanks; when Jenny dies and he's standing at her grave talking to her.

New on the list is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon when, well, you know when.

Believe it or not, The Terminator's one single love scene makes me cry every time cuz of the utter hopelessness of thier situation and thier complete bravery in ignoring it.

Finally, one of my all-time favorite movies, Shadowlands with Sir Anthony Hopkins as C.S. Lewis, the author of well-known kids books. This is a little-known but really fabulous movie. A biography, it's also a consummate tear-jerker.

There's others, of course, these just leap to mind at the moment.

StepMom. although I have never been in the position of being a stepmom, I was a stepgrandma for awhile and experienced some of the same emotions Julia Roberts' did in the movie.

 

[RudeNastyAssBitch]

The scenes of destruction and death in the future flashes, also dig right into my soul!

I ALWAYS Cry during,
The Fox & The Hound
Lady & The Tramp

 

[Renegade]

Some of the movies that comes to my mind are "Schindler List" and "The Green Mile"

Oh that's right! Green Mile came out after Sixth Sense did. In that case, Green Mile was the last movie to affect me like that, but Sixth Sense is still a great movie.

 

[Blackbich]

The Green Mile, definitely. Before that would have to be Scary Movie (hey, nobody specified it had to be a sad cry. Or did they??). I'm confused again.

 

[Problem Child]

Evil Dead 2

I love part where he whacks the old monster lady and her eyeball goes flying acroos the room...very touching...

~sniff~

 

[Derya]

I cry at everything:::sad, patriotism, success, true love, death etc etc

Some major tearjerkers that come to mind
Stepmom
Remember the Titans
Field of Dreams
For the Love of the Game
Shakespeare in Love
The Green Mile
E.T.
Armageddon (when Bruce Willis tells Liv Tyler goodbye)
Titanic (when Leonardo DiCaprio dies)
Homeward Bound

I know I'll think of more

the moment in "Usual Suspects" when the cop realizes that Kevin Spacey has been crafting his Kaiser story out of the odds and ends of his office;

I get to correct DCL!

Keyser Soze

My movies

Raven goddamn it Chasing Amy

Shawshank...

Dead poets...

etc

 

[cherrypop]

ShyGuy, DCL, and Renegade are right on...

Before I ever opened the thread...I thought "Schindler's List." That movie forever affected me.

 

[Mischka]

Two scenes:

1. In The Last of the Mohicans - when Madeleine Stowe's sister looks at Magua before she jumps off the cliff.

2. In Braveheart - when William Wallace's new bride has her throat slit.

The utter loss of true love apparently does me in. I was eating Twizzlers during Braveheart when that scene came on, and I was so racked with sobs that I dropped the entire bag on the floor without noticing. I haven't been able to eat Twizzlers since.

 

[cherrypop]

In Braveheart - when William Wallace's new bride has her throat slit.

Oh nooooo...you're trying to choke me up, aren't you??? <sniffff> That one realllly got me, too.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I get to correct DCL!Keyser Soze[/B]

Right. Sorry. I was thinking of my Insurance Company Kaiser Permanente.

 

[Weevil]

Forest Gump with Tom Hanks; when Jenny dies and he's standing at her grave talking to her.

There's others, of course, these just leap to mind at the moment.

I'll admit that I cried a lot during Forrest Gump. Jenny's death was number 3 behind his Mama and Bubba though.

 

[Xander]

I rarely get tears in my eyes during a movie. But three movies does come to mind.

Schindlers List.
Last of the Mohicans

But above all

Shadowlands

 

[nytbrat]

Shadowlands and Braveheart for me...

 

[alexander tzara]

There were moments in the David Lynch film, 'Straight Story'.

 

[Whispersecret]

For you parents out there, did you cry during The Iron Giant? When he gives himself up to save the town, and just before he gets blown up by the nuclear warhead thinks that he wants to be Superman... God, I cry every time that scene comes on. And with two kids who like that video, that happens often.

I cried like a baby in Independence Day where the First Lady meets the eyes of the President over the head of their daughter. Their unspoken communication and the fact that she knows she's going to die and has leave them both is heart-breaking.

Basically every scene where a kid loses his mom or dad just kills me.

Stepmom bugged me. It seemed to me like they tried too hard to yank my heartstrings.

 

[Pyper]

I would never EVER cry in a theater, nor would I ever cry in front of somebody else. But when I'm alone...

Okay, this is weird. The only movie that makes me cry every single time is Edward Scissorhands. Not even Schindler's List makes me cry as much as Edward Scissorhands. I know, I'm strange.

 

[Angel]

Only two movies moved me to tears. Armageddon for some reason made my eyes water.

What Dreams May Come was the ONLY movie I ever bawled like a baby watching though.

 

[Charly]

Re: Laurel...

Y The last film I saw was Shakespear in Love. I cried for the last 30 minutes of it, and by the end I was sobbing. I had to go sit in the theatre manager's office. I was scaring the other patrons.

Yes, Shakespeare in Love was perfect. Elegant, beautiful, briliant and true about love.





And on the far, far, other side of the universe, Schindler's List.
