Movies that make grown men cry...

The Lion King, I'm usually watching it in a dusty room though with a few onions beside me so it's not me being a pansy or anything.. >_>

The Green Mile was heartbreaking too on more than one occasion.

Its a Wonderful Life.

Just seen Warrior in the cinema, have to admit it was emotional!!

TheMilkyPirate

I know it's not a film, But these two scenes from The royal family are the saddest moments of television, Film or series, I have ever watched.

Shed a tear or three watching 'Senna'

Atonement is pretty emotional too.

Particularly when you think Robbie

actually survives dunkirk and is re-united with Cecelia. The killer bit is finding out the apology scene is imagined by Briony as an author. That the brief meeting earlier between Robbie and Cecelia in the cafe is the last time they see each other in hindsight. Doomed romance at it's best

I'm a bit of a soft touch at these but anyway, here's the films I've definitely cried in:
Life is Beautiful, it's just so damn LOVELY! I cried at the end of Wall-E when he

wakes back up and doesn't seem to recognise eva so she gives him a little kiss

But the worst / most embarassing / funniest was once my and the gf were hungover in bed on a sunday morning, both still pretty drunk but with that horrible emotional hangover fear feeling. Anyway, for ****s and giggles I was reading her some Hans Christian Anderson stories from my phone (I downloaded a "collection of children's stories", or something like that). Anyway, we got through things like "the emperor's new clothes, the princess and the pea, and were having a great laugh. I moved onto "the ugly duckling" expecting more of the previous light-hearted tales. What I found was the most depressing and distressing story I've ever come across, and since I was reading it out loud, I there was no way to hide it in front of herself. Cried like a baby. I still can't even describe the story to people without getting a lump in my throat.

Here's a link if you don't believe me how sad the story actually is: http://hca.gilead.org.il/ugly_duc.html

if you can get through the bit where he wants the swans to kill him then you are a more stoic man than I

Peetrik

Im usually unaffected by 'namby pamby drivel' but Ill admit I broke down during 'Elf'... it really caught me off guard

I had just come out of a 5yr relationship and may have been somewhat emotional.

Got me in the cinema, got me at home, and got me yesterday for the third time. The guy was a great driver, and the excitement and passion he brought to F1 was unrivalled back then.

Tesco Massacre

I nearly lost it completely when I saw 'Grave of the Fireflies' about a month ago.

But I just about managed to keep it together. Just.

ballsacky

The Return of the King.

A Time To Kill

syklops

Never cried at a film, but, Love Actually at the end, moistens my eyes a bit.

Also for some reason, Spiderman 2, the bit where he saves the people by catching the cab in his web and a black girl shouts out "Go spidey"", I don't know why, but my cheek trembles a bit at that.

whatislife

A documentary called "Dear Zachery: A letter to son about his father"

si_vis_pacem

@Tesco: Grave of the Fireflies is pretty tragic alright.

Honestly? The Lion King for me.
