Movies that make grown men cry...

The scene of the youngest son crying in Debra Winger's hospital room in Terms of Endearment is difficult to stay dry-eyed through.

The scene in Citizen X where Donald Sutherland tells Stephan Rea about how the FBI instructor praised him so highly usually chokes me up as well.

Oh and the final scenes of the Wind That Shakes The Barley.

We've had to ban "PS I Love You" over here in the IE offices, it reduces most of the staff to tears if we dim the lights

IMDB link!

Some movies like Greenstreet and Wind That Shakes the Barley have left me fairly angry at the end. The only film to ever make me cry was I Am Sam. Cracking stuff from Sean Penn, really deserved an Oscar for it. If anyone hasn't seen it they really must. Can't recommend it highly enough. The Beatles soundtrack is incredible in it too.

Watership Down. The animated film with the rabbits based on the book. I bawled at 11 seeing it for the first time and again a few weeks ago at 36 years of age. It has lost none of its emotional impact.

Born on The Fourth of July. Easily Tom Cruise's most moving and perhaps finest performance. It was upsetting to see an all-American hero return to a country that wanted to forget about him and despised the war he fought in. His emotional breakdown was very moving.

Forrest Gump. The part at the end when Jenny, the love of Forrest's life, dies. This always has me in tears.

Terms of Endearment. Debra Winger's young death from cancer is very upsetting.

Completely forgot "March of the Penguins" left me absolutely f**king devastated! Watch at the expense of your own tears

grohlisagod · 22-07-2011 8:12pm

The Elephant Man. One of the most powerful films I've ever seen where John Hurt gives a truly incredible performance. Some of the scenes towards the end had tears streaming down my face.

The ending of El Cid.

Too bloody many

Is there a ladies forum where they discus films that made them want drive a tank?

Just watched Michael Collins again. Funeral coda+history. If that doesnt a grown man cry, I dont know what will.

Hachi: A Dogs Story
WARNING!!! This is without a doubt the saddest movie ever made.
I'm a grown man an I was inconsolable after watchig this and now as I type these words the tears are running down mu face....
Yeah Richard Gere is in it but he's believable and the fact that it's based on a true story make it even more heart wrenching
Anyone with a dog should watch this movie, I guarantee at the end of it you will be in floods of tears hugging your best canine friend with every fibre of your being.
as I said to my GF just after we watched it......there was no need for anyone to make a film like that...........
Just look at the reviews http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1028532/reviews
HB
*sob*

I actually watched Micheal Collins the other week on a long haul flight.

I cried at...

Tell him Mick Collins wants to stop this bloody mayhem. Tell him I'm sorry I didn't bring back the Republic. But nobody could have! He was my chief, always. I'd have followed him to hell if he'd asked me. And maybe I did. But it's not worth fighting for anymore. We've got to build with what we have! You tell him that.
