    For me, there are a LOT:

    The Whale Rider, when Paikea's saying the poem for her grandad

    (Back story - she is desperate for his approval, and he doesn't show up)

    The ending of Falling Down, when they are reunited on the bridge.

    Everytime I see the words 'Starring Nicholas Cage'

    Pan's Labyrinth

    Might be reverred in Spain but to me over boiled using a fairytale to justify the sadism.

    To a soppy movie no but I'm always a bit on the emotional side when a TV show I watched for years comes to an end. Sopranos broke me heart. :(

    I saw Up but what happens in the first fifteen minutes that's so bad? Was it his wife dying?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,857 ✭✭✭Bogger77


    Champ has the ability to make me tear up, just even thinking about the ending

    My Girl.

    Those damn bees man :(

    " Where are his glasses, he can't see without his glasses". Oh god, here we go again...

    Not the bees!

    When a character is really well developed, I get a scratch in my eye. When a family pet dies, there always seems to be someone chopping onions.

    Into the wild upset me a bit, Christopher McCandles seemed like such a likeable character, was a sad way for anyone to go.

    Ah here..that was an emotional scene to be fair..

    My own would be Marley and Me and Pusuit of Happiness.. The whole Chris Gardiner story is something I can relate to I guess.

    Black Beauty. *tear*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 621 ✭✭✭dave3004


    Cars. When Lightning McQueen finds out about Doc. Also when Doc turns up at the track.

    Lovely montage in Cars too with a James Taylor song in the background

    50/50. Opened up a few mental scars that were still a bit too fresh.

    Afraid so, when I went to see Senna in the cinema in 2011. I saw the crash live in 1994 which made the end much harder in the film.

    Eh, what? Are you in the right thread? Did you cry at it?

    I've cried at many a movie.

    Remember the Titans - The last scene with Gary Burtier
    Braveheart - Freeeeeeedom
    Armageddon - The Brucie / Affleck switch. Tthat film is my very guilty pleasure)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,972 ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    Yep. Forrest Gump - near the end when Jenny dies.
    Born On The Fourth of July - when Tom Cruise has an emotional breakdown.
    I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise but that film IMO is his finest performance.
    Leaving Las Vegas.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,296 ✭✭✭✭Jawgap


    Lemony Snickett......
    .......at the end when the house they are in dissolves and they are in the burnt ruin before being taken off in the car

    My kids didn't cry......the heartless tw@ts!

    He is a great actor, but is living up to his name and has been on a cruise and collect mission for the last twenty years

    Girl in the red coat in Schindler's list causes me to well up

    The only movies that make me shed a tear are the world war 2 war movies.

    I have to admit, that a scene in John Wick got me too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 904 ✭✭✭Drakares


    Schindlers list at the end when Oskar Schindler was leaving his Jews. He broke down when realizing he could have saved a lot more people.

    Wow OP original topic, wasn't the Saddest Movie thread last week or something like that.

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    I've only seen the trailer but I know what scene you're talking about. Reminded me of I Am Legend.
