    The list of movies that HAVEN'T made me cry would be shorter. I just have a lot of feelings.

    God yeah, I have a surplus of feelings too. :)

    I watched The Butler recently, was a mess at the end because
    of where he was in society at the beginning, a black butler serving all-white politicians while his son gave everything to the civil rights struggle, and his journey to the end, with the election of a black President.

    And the I Am Legend bit where
    he has to kill his dog :(

    And in Brokeback Mountain where
    he finds his lovers bloody shirt
    .

    And many more. :)

    Most recently, 12 years a slave. It just kept hitting me that it's a real story and thousands of people went through what he went through! Heartbreaking realisation.

    I am Sam. Oh holy god! If you ever need a good cry this is one to watch. Myself and my mam watched it on a long haul flight, and just bawled for hours!

    Don't think any have made me cry.

    But, I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and that had quite a disturbing effect on me, walked out of it before the end if I remember rightly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    Three words:
    Marley And Me.
    I read the book before I saw the film so I knew what to expect but the film came out after my own dog passed away and that ending really brought it all back. Blubbed for days.

    Not exactly a movie but this makes me ball everytime too



    For pity's sake!!! I only read the title and looked at the picture ..... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,046 ✭✭✭✭cena


    Marley and me. When they had to out the dog down.

    Just cause I have the same breed of dog

    This thread would be empty if the question was "Has any movie, other than Marley & Me, ever made you cry?"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,473 ✭✭✭Wacker The Attacker


    Inception didn't make me cry.

    It did make me want to jump off a bridge though


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,575 ✭✭✭AlanS181824


    Marley & Me... Oh my God... Getting teary eyed just thinking about that ending...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,325 ✭✭✭✭Dozen Wicked Words


    Big Fish made me cry, A.I. made me cry (can't watch that again just too emotional!) Up made me cry.

    Not manly in the slightest bit I cry watching films, often.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 938 ✭✭✭Ice Storm


    I cry at movies a lot. Happy, sad, any remotely emotional scene has me tearing up. I find it quite embarrassing so I do my best to hide it.

    I've found myself crying at films I've watched on planes a few times which can be a little awkward. If I start getting emotional I generally pause the movie until I can get it together. I remember crying on a plane watching Water for Elephants and Dead Poets Society. :o

    A.I. - Yes! Me too! I was 15 when I watched it. It really got to me. I wasn't expecting anyone to mention it here.

    Ok as mentioned on here already The Green Mile
    Start of Up!
    TDKR Alfred crying
    Others that really make me tear up:-
    The ending of tombstone scene between Doc and Wyatt!
    Man on fire
    Leon final scenes always get me
    Donnie Darko final scenes with his dad crying and the son mad world playing over them.
    But my favourite movie that I love but always cry watching is Somewhere in Time staring Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymor and based on the Richard Matheson story Bid time return, I'm always in tears at the end of it even more so now that Christopher Reeves is no longer with us.

    The ending of the film Warrior is one that gets me.

    The ending of the film Warrior is one that gets me.


    Not many films get me but when I seen that scene I shed some man tears. The national - about today was probably one of the best choices for a song they could have picked.

    The list of movies that HAVEN'T made me cry would be shorter. I just have a lot of feelings.

    It's not just movies/tv, books get me into a snivelling mess as well. My husband still slags me about the time when Harry Potter 6 came out. It was the day before we were due to fly home from Australia and I was sitting in our bed reading it, and got to the end and started HOWLING!

    He thought I was upset about going home and was trying to comfort me and I was trying to tell him it wasn't that only it came out "No.. sob! It's..sob! not..sob! that..sob!" and he kept asking me why I was so upset, so I eventually managed to compose myself enough to tell him only I got halfway through the sentence and hysterics started again -
    "Dumbledore DIIIIEEEEEDDDD!! Waaaahaaaahaaahaaa!
    " He just looked at me with this expression of utter disbelief/disgust.

    I cry at anything with Adam Sandler in...................out of frustration.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,977 ✭✭✭Backstreet Moyes


    The ending to A Time To Kill was very moving brought a little tear to my eye.

    Cry Freedom
    The Constant Gardner
    Gandhi
    Schindler's List
    Au Revoir les Enfants
    Steel Magnolias

    I am a soggy mess at the end of these and my husband is not bothered at all :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 142 ✭✭larrlin24


    Recently, The Fault In Our Stars. Saw it a few days ago and I still feel upset over it. So depressing.

    The end of The Big Blue (director's cut). Very powerful and sad.

    Saw a similar film recently called The Normal Heart - oh good Jesus I was no good. :-/
    The song played at the end is The Only Living Boy In New York by Simon & Garfunkel - too perfect, but too bloody heartbreaking! :(

    Ditto that Neil Young song at the end of Philadelphia.

    Transformers Dark of the moon.

    It was like giving an Ex girlfriend a second chance after she cheated on you and then she cheats again.

    Bambi and the lion king. I couldn't even get into the lion king because the start was so sad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,480 ✭✭✭Chancer3001


    The start of up.


    Manly floods of tears

    It's a gritty kids film!

    Like the Christopher Nolan of Disney!

    Marley and Me. Wouldn't wish it on me worst enemy.

    The opening scene of UP.

    It's the loveliest thing I've seen in a movie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 285 ✭✭Samuri Suicide


    Dear Zachary.

    Amazing documentary.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 937 ✭✭✭newbee22


    The green mile, Marley and me, the notebook , toy story 3 and most recently the fault in our stars....

    UP really put the lump in my throat.
    Couldn't cry coz there were other blokes in the room.

    Cried in the cinema for ET when I was 8 years old.
    Me Mammy thought I'd lost it.

    And Driving Miss Daisy


  • Registered Users Posts: 251 ✭✭shane7218


    No , but video games Final Fantasy X and Metal Gear Solid 3 on the PS2 did :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,412 ✭✭✭Shakespeare's Sister


    UP is such a beautifully made film. I don't think it's that "kid-ish" either.

    The Snowman is pretty fecking harrowing for kids too. And When The Wind Blows (animated by the same guy) is terribly sad but I don't think that's for kids.
    I always laugh when watching The Snowman too though as I'm reminded of the Viz strip.


  • Registered Users Posts: 197 ✭✭bodhi085


    Pay it forward (the scene where the mother looks out the window to see all the people with candles)
    E.T. (The scene where e.t. Says to Elliot "ill be right here") along with the score it always gets me.
    A.I. (Haley Joel osment character dying..my Irish granny had died that day back in the uk in 2002 and I thought a lighthearted film I hadn't seen would take my mind off things)
    Senna
    The bucket list
    Planes trains automobiles (end scenes where john candy tells Steve Martin that his wife is dead)
    The perfect storm (eulogy scene)
    Life is beautiful
    Marley and me
    I am sam
    City of angels
    Cast away (losing Wilson)

    Of course though being a man it's just a lump in the throat ever time.
