Films That Made You Cry...

Peyton Manning

....or came damn close! So, whats on your list?

For the record, only these 3 made me cry - Yes, Im a softy, but it takes a rugged man to admit he's cried!

The Green Mile
Pearl Harbour (shut up!)
Man on the Moon

But these came damn close...

Gladiator
Donnie Darko
Tupac: Resurrection
The Notebook (how could you not be sad?)
Butterfly Effect (Ok, not as strong as the others, but still..)

LundiMardi

when i was a kid braveheart always brought a lump to the throad and tear to the eye...

DublinWriter

I challenge anyone not to cry at least once during ET!

monkeyfudge

The Iron Giant.

"Su-per-man!"

Declan A Walsh

Shadowlands would come damn close for me - its such a moving love story.

TerrorFirmer

Downfall.

That is all really. It didn't actually make me cry but if any movie could possibly do it, Downfall would be it.

RobertFoster

Grave of the Fireflies nearly made me cry.

IvaBigWun

Scary Movie 2

spacecoyote

The Wind That Shakes The Barley

Didn't cry at these but it was only with a supreme effort of manliness

E.T.
Big Fish

Rabies

Boys Don't Cry

Neither do men. Never shed a tear during a movie. Nothing has moved me enough. At times I even wonder if I have a heart.

Magic Pips

i am a man, i never cry. IF i did, it'd be blackhawk down, where the two snipers give their life to save yer man

colsku

I am very embarrassed to say I cried during one of the Gremlins movies when I was younger.

That part where Gizmo is in the small car and goes to jump something... A poor description on my part I know, but I've tried to supress that moment of my life.

Thank jaysus the internet is anonymous

is_that_so

The Elephant Man - still brings a lump to my throat now.

I have a terrible tendency to cry during films all the time. The last one was Angel-A.
Serenity, The Iron Giant, The Lord of the Rings, all bring a tear to my eye.

Not many, but Requiem for a Dream, every time.

When I was a child E.T.

Films?only 3-Donnie Darko, Serenity and Stranger than Fiction

TV-only 2- firefly[the ep with the old war buddie] and angel[the last ep-illyriya reacting to wes's death]

Charlie

Field of Dreams, the very end where Ray (Costner) asks his dad does he want to throw a ball around. Something pulls at me everytime I see this scene, I think it reminds me so much of my own dad and that bond you have.

Smokin Aces - For all the wrong reasons.

Vikings

The Green Mile hit a soft spot in me I must say, eyes were watered up for that one..

And Field of Drams... yeah that brings back memories, some sad moments but no tears!

30txsbzmcu2k9w

anyone see The Saint of Fort Washington with danny glover and matt dilon?their both homeless and Dillon is a schizophrenic. I saw it one night at about 2 in the morning and cried like a baby. havnt seen it on tv since,nor have i seen it on dvd

bringitdown

Dancer in the Dark ... destroys me ...
Pans Labyrinth

lots of others but those first come to mind

The Bollox

Armageddon brought a tear to my eye, as did The Green Mile

Jello

The Green Mile, Gladiator and the end of the Return of the King are all I can think of... but I'm sure there's a few more.

djkeogh

Terminator 2 when Arnies is terminating himself got me back in the day. The inevitability of Moulin Rouge was tugging at me as well.

The Champ : I was about 4/5 when I saw it at my neighbours house - did well until they got near the end then had to go home because I was so upset!

Can't think of anything else, but I once knew a girl who cried at home & away:o

Vokes

Empire of the Sun - no contest (for me anyway )

That did it for me as did Watership Down (although I was only about 6 or so when I saw that one )

Thats the one its the champ in more ways than one. Saw it in the 80s and I still cant watch it to this day, its a true tearjerker. Oh and nearly forgot ET

TerrorFirmer

Watched Schlinders List again yesterday afternoon. That, alongside Downfall, whilst not actually producing tears are the only films that have invoked a real emotional response from me.

And on that note I can't believe the number of lady-boys on this thread. Someone even said they cried at Armageddon!? Pearl Harbour? Serenity? I mean really, come on lads...:p

corblimey

I'm a little embarrassed to say that I teared up at the end of Monsters Inc last Christmas. Monsters Inc! ffs.

Sad Professor

I don't cry at movies... deeply moved maybe but no tears as such

And how does one possibly cry at Armageddon or Gladiator? I love Ridley Scott but I've always found his films ice cold, the guy's a cynical bastard and it comes through in every frame.

I do find Schindler's List very moving in places however and Dances With Wolves.

Stop watching it if it upsets you so much. God..:p
Back to the topic at hand, do tears of laughter count? In that case my one choice would be the remake of The Wicker Man. It gave me a new respect for comedy

actually now that you mention it I was a bit too

I cried at the end of Stargate Atlantis last Tuesday and again yesterday evening.

Snake Plisken

Somewhere in Time has always hit the tears button for Snake, and even more so since the passing of Mr Reeves, also The Return of the King, Donnie Darko and The Green Mile

Ah yes the champ is a quality one for the tears. Turned it on pretty close to the end recently when the girlfriend was with me. She'd never heard of it, knew nothing about it. So i told her to watch it, that she'd like it. Cue the little kid and cue my girlfriend crying her eyes out and calling me a b*stard for not warning her that it was gonna be so sad

supernic

I often have a bit of a cry in films, or at least get pretty teary (Pan's Labyrinth and The Fountain being recent ones), so i won't put in a stupidly long list, i'll just add the one that i'm most embarassed about.

Has anyone seen 'The Doctor', with William Hurt? It's about a cold doctor who ends up getting really sick and realising how bad it is when docs treat you cold. Anyway, i've caught this one on tv a few times, and i absolutely bawl, even though i think it's a pretty bad film and unashamed heart-string puller. Not only that, i watch it because i enjoy the good bawl, not in spite of it!

sad...

dr.bollocko

Haha
To admit crying at movies is pretty bad, but to admit crying because of sci-fi halfwit Joss Whedon's gallows humour is just hilariously inappropriately pathetic.
I never ever cry. Not even when gutshot.
I'm a real man dammit!
So yes, we have established my gender and also that I have no soul, so as such I cant relate to you crybabies and have just come up with a list of incredibly depressing movies. At least I think they are depressing, I have trouble seeing TV screens as my balls are just so big. PS you suck at making lists:
Leaving Las Vegas.
Dead Man Walking
American History X
Requiem for a dream
Casualties of war
Maria Full of grace
Pi
Boys don't cry
Hotel Rwanda
In the bedroom
A clockwork Orange
Midnight Cowboy
Blow

I laughed when Bambi's mom died. Just so you know. That's how I roll.

starn

The only time I ever came close to crying at a flick. Had to be the closing scenes of Manderlay as Bowies Young Americans plays out.

Sereity You are Sh1tting me what sort of sad pathetic fan boy loser are you. Is that Harry Knowles by any chance

TerrorFirmer

Another good one, not actually producing tears but a pretty damn stirring opening - the opening to cross of Iron

Such a great movie.

What's with all the Serenity bashing? It is without a doubt one of the finest films ever made, and my personal favourite. I think that those of us who felt emotionally overcome during certain parts were all fans of Firefly and as such were far more connected with the characters. Which is why we may have cried.

It says a lot about people when they feel the need to belittle other people simply for giving in to their emotions. It may not appear manly to admit to crying, but who really cares of others opinions.

You arent actually serious though? One of the finest films ever made? Or a bit of poo left on the floor of Joss Whedon's toilet from the party they had after Firefly got cancelled?
U really cannot get away with saying it is "without a doubt" one of the finest films ever made. That's just as illogical as me saying that It is "without a doubt" crap.
Now while I know you're not right, and you know I'm not right, the truth of the matter lies somewhere in the middle and far closer to my assumption than yours.
I mean each to his own opinion and all that, but thats just a bit retarded.

Clank

Just my Luck with Lindsay Lohan a painful experience.
Seriously though My Girl, when it was in the cinema.

Serenity is not one of the finest films ever made, not in the slightest.

sinjin_smythe

have to admit, was watching "A Beautiful Mind" last night and although not stirring up tears it did hit me a little

Carcharodon

My girlfriend said i cried at the notebook, bad enough having to watch it but crying, i will never admit to that reallly dont think i did though

Iam not belittleling people for giving into there emotions. Iam belittleing you and other half witted mongoloed numskulls friends. Serenity was complete Wan1k.
But fair enough if yu want to cmpare like with like look at Arnie asking to be terminated in T2,Spock saying goodby to Kirk in St:Twk, and Yoda's death in Jedi at least these deaths ment something even to a casual viewer.
I never thought much of Joss Whedon as a writer. Compare him to someone like Aron Sorkin. Whedn isnt fit to lick Sorkins turds. Look at the resonance of the death of the minor charecter Ms. Laningham in the West Wing and Buffy's Mom poppin her clogs in Buffy.

Crucifix

I'm not a cryer, but Pan's labyrinth recently put a manly lump in my throat.
