What movies made you cry?

[Whispersecret]

I was watching "My Fair Lady" a couple of nights ago and Freddy Einsford-Hill was singing about how wonderful it was just to be on the street where Eliza lived. I got tears in my eyes thinking about a man so in love with me that he would be happy just hanging around my street.

Then there's those Disney movies. Every single time there's a song about the main character yearning for more, to fit in, to make her family proud, etc. I get weepy.

I cried at the end of "The Iron Giant," when he says he wants to be Superman just before he sacrifices himself. I'm probably the only sap who cries in cartoon movies.

In "Independence Day", that scene where the First Lady talks to her little daughter right before she dies...that KILLS me.

Cried like a baby in "Somewhere In Time" (Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

There have been loads more, but I can't remember them all right now. What about you? Especially you guys! Do you cry in movies? (Don't mention Brian's Song. That's a given for guys, I take it. Never saw it myself.)

 

[Silverlily]

You're not a sap. I cry during Dumbo and Bambi every time.

 

[ShyGuy68]

The only movie I can remember right now that really got to me is "Schindlers List". There might have been others, but I can't remember it.

 

[Endlessly]

My list:

-It's a wonderful life, when Jimmy Stewart is on the bridge.

-The credits of the Princess Bride.

-Shining through, when Michael Douglas is carrying his love to safety across the Swiss border and the nazis blow off his legs, and he keeps crawling until he makes it. I sob.

 

[Skibum]

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. I lost it when they blew up the Enterprize.

 

[Slut_boy]

God, I cry so often in movies - it's embarassing. ShyGuy, me too (Schindler's List). But the one movie that really moved me was 'The Theory of Flight' with Kenneth Branner and Helen ...... (forgot her surname for the moment). Did anybody else see that? Were you also moved?

 

[April]

Helena Bonham Carter.

 

[Savage Kitten]

City of Angels

I so wanted it to be a happy ending... it tore my heart out all the way through the dang thing!

 

[Laurel]

Helen Bonham Carter. Haven't seen that movie, though I'd like to.

I cry at "Harold & Maude" - when he gives her the trinket from the fair & she throws it in the water, and again when she's dying.

I cry at "Breaking the Waves", "Heavenly Creatures", oh, tons of movies that I can't think of now. I get weepy easily, and I laugh easily. I'm just easy.

The Green Mile. Great movie!!!

 

[Danger Box]

going to have to disagree

The Green Mile. Great movie!!!

I liked the movie. I'd say good, not great. The book though, made me cry a river.

 

[Xander]

1. Shadowlands with Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger.

2. Schindlers List. (First tears, then complete and utter rage, because there was an asshole who sat behind us, laughing through the crystal night scene)

3. City of Angels. (Didn't cry, but got a big lump in my throat when Meg Ryan dies.)

That's about it.

 

[Flagg]

Up until two days ago not one single film had made me cry (in fact I never really cry - does that mean my emotions are as strong as steel or that I have faulty tear ducts?) But then I watched the Green Mile and incredibly two small tears rolled down my cheek. It was completely bizarre - I could feel my chest grow heavy, my face become puffy and this water coming out of my fucking eyes!! I guess to you lot that's just pretty normal.

To me it was plain weird.

 

[MADDOG]

I am a pussy when it comes to movies. I can get teary eyed at anything. That part in Teminator 2 when Arnie is lowered into the metal makes me ball. I cry when Goose dies in Top Gun. Hell, I cry at everything.

But 3 movies stand out.

"The Shawshank Redemption" - When Andy escapes I weep every time. Good tears though...

"Forrest Gump" - When Gump is under the tree talking to Jennies Grave I cry my eyes out.

And for some reason, "A League Of Their Own" makes me emotional! That last bit when all the old women are playing baseball really affects me for some reason. I'm such a tool.

[Magic Merlin]

Brian's Song - always


Schindler's List - Why I've only been able to watch it one time

[Adoratrice]

My husband cries at movies more than I do ..true loves dying usually get to me, My greatest fear I guess.
The movie that really upset me most recently was "The Straight Story"...it is about a 73 yr old man who hasn't seen his brother in 10 years , well his brother lives 400 miles away and he has a stroke, Mr. Straight can't drive due to bad eyes etc. so he drives his LAWNMOWER to see his brother...it takes him like 6 weeks to get there. It is a true story which makes it more touching. I guess things that hit close to home are the hardest for me.....My husband is 29 and in perfect health , he had a stroke in July of '99, My mother was very abusive to me as a child & it has been 10 years since I've seen her,she is in bad health so I have been dealing with how to handle that whole mess. Anyway...that is what makes me cry....I just lost it with this movie....

*That's me ...your typical basketcase*

 

[teresafannin]

I cry at just about everything, biggest sap in the world.

I still haven't made it through Schindler's List, it is such an emotional story.

Michael-love John Travolta & the movie reminds me of my son

An Affair to Remember-when Cary Grant realizes Deborah Kerr is the girl in the wheelchair who wanted his painting, I lose it every time.
Casablanca-At the end, when Rick sends Ilsa off to be with her husband, what woman wouldn't love a man like that.

A League of Their Own-I thought I was the only one who cried at the end of that movie. I think it is because it shows how really strong women were during the war years.

There are a ton more, love old, weepy tearjerker movies, but these are a few of my favorites.

I am usualy kind of a hard ass but there are a few movies that made me cry.

-Old Yeller

-Where the Red Fern Grows

-Forest Gump (Waterworks)

-Saving Private Ryan

I'm such a weenie sometimes.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Maybe I can't -

Maybe I just can't get in touch with my emotional/feminine side - but I can't understand why anyone would subject themselves to materiel that would make them sad.

I get enough of that on the front page of the newspaper.

To each their own but -

My entertainment dollar always goes for something that will make me smile.

 

[Adoratrice]

Lusicous...thank you , I will take that as a compliment. Despite having a bad childhood *who didn't* I now have a wonderful life & am usually happy as long as I can fight off the demons of my past. I want to thank you ..you are very sweet and are pretty good about spreading happiness yourself.

 

[teresafannin]

Hi Sparky, I like movies that make me laugh as well. Just every now & then, have to sit down and have a good cry. One of my favorite movies is "My Best Friend's Wedding", I think Julia Roberts & Rupert Everett are too funny, although Cameron Diaz is just kind of there. Just depends on the mood I am in, everything in moderation, you know. Wellllll, maybe not everything-hehehe.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Too much fun???

I don't think so. Let me try it out - I'll get back to ya.

I will cry during any emotional scene in any movie .. it's very important for me to wear waterproof mascara when I watch a film that isn't a comedy ... lol .. no seriously ..
______________
Though I was sittin’ there they didn’t see
And so they sat right down in front of me
When he kissed her lips I almost died
And in the middle of the color cartoon I started to cry.
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry
