I just watched the lion king... And I cried like a little girl! :crying: Which is weird because I am a big and relatively muscular boy.

So, this is the place to put your anonymous confessions comrades! I want to see if there are any movies I am not aware of. ;)

I remember I went to see Saving Private Ryan in theatres when it was first released with my grandfather (he was an old tough coal miner from Nova Scotia). At the end of the film we were both crying like little kids:crying:

Well Lenin damn it! Another one!
Fox & the hound by Disney
Disney seems to rock at this.

Also: Rise as one is soooooo right! I agree! I need to 'ahem' get my hands on that one again. I've had this project recently to find as many movies as I can that make me cry. They always seem to be the best movies with the greatest and themost powerful plot turns. Oh yes, and with me being goth and all it all seems so beautiful.

Probably Danish film flame and citreon, at the end when they are both betrayed by flames capitalist lover, into getting caught by the nazis and killed. I think it was the touch of reality that did it for me, and I never cry either.

Also at a the near end of another skandinavian film called Komrade Pedersen (This is actually called Teacher Pedersen in Norwiegen, but cannot spell 'gymlaeser'!?:blushing:). When the movies main characters lover has killed herself there is a quasi-symbolic scene, which shows him in a winter forest over looking his dead lovers body, which is lying on a bed. He is cleary mortified, but then out of no-where her corps starts reciting a quote from Mao Ze Tung (I think, not sure though), which goes something along the lines of "you know nothing, you are everything". Basically the message was that she killed herself because she was a communist and communism is BAD!!-The route cause of all the worlds evils,etc.

I know that the film is pathetically anti-communist, and the director and producers should get sent back in time to the chinese revolution just so they can get laughed at, but the scene just touched me. Why are we so in the wrong? Why cannot the world see that we have our views and beliefs for good reason? Why should we simply conform to what is popular and wait in an ever increasing long cue just to get 'accepted'.? ...Fuck Them!

Atonement made me cry as well. I spent good money to see that drivel!

I can't really think of films that make me cry to be honest . . . But I was a bit disappointed as a kid that the hated Jar Jar Binks didn't get a bigger part in the films after the Phantom Menace. I don't know what that says about me . . . :o

Samsara, a tibetan film from 2001 about a monk that is torn between cloister and family life.

It is about his struggle with himself, his sexuality, his engagement with reality, his quest for maturity, proper ideals and means to get there. He first rejects cloister life as empty after an unsuccessful year of meditative isolation retreat, falls in love with a woman, bears her a child, settles down, but in the end intends to leave her for a resumed cloister life. He gets visions of his beloved on his way to the cloister and brakes down. So sad, brought me to tears many times.

The film was more meaningful when I was caught up in the 'spirit=pure'/'material=turbid and gross' dichotomy.

I don't think I ever cried - I'm usually a "cold" or "cool" person - but when I watched Stalingrad recently (by Joseph Vilsmaier (German), 1993) I was sad :(. It's about German stormtroopers who're dispatched from North Africa to fight in Stalingrad. They suffer heavy losses and then the 6th Army is surrounded by the Russians. The film ends the way it should be: unromanticized. It's not the best anti-war film. Story and quality are sometimes very mediocre, but I didn't care.

Land and Freedom makes me cry, especially when the footage of the revolution comes into the music.

As far as Loach's films are concerned, The Wind That Shakes The Barley is way sadder. The end is amazing.

I cried to the East German movie called: Ich war Neunzehn( I was Nineteen)
when the maincharacters best friend get shot by the SS, after a shootout in the end of the movie, and the maincharacter flips out, because the enemy had just fleed.
Also the Scene where the Spanish-civil-war communists return to his home, and they play a very famous song.

I also cried to the old movie: All quite on the western-front.

This! I consider it a prerequisite of a mentally healthy man to be able to cry. Whether one dislikes doing it publically is entirely another matter, and in my oppinion not an important one. Though I just might make my point in a more constructive manner.

Arna's Children and Waltz with Bashir. Coincidentally, both about Palestine. I didn't cry, but Kannathil Muthamittal might get you (excellent film).

Into the Wild definitely brings a lump to the throat.Thats actually a really good call. It didnt make me cry, but it was emotionally intense to say the least. Infact I dont think they could have portrayed that young lad any better. His morals really where to good for the USA of then (and probably now also). Im thinking about getting the book. Excellently shot film also.

I thought the movie actually was very respectful of the book and did it justice. It was really effective, I thought, at humanizing the story even more - especially the use of the landscape in that film, and the rawness of the wilderness.

Indeed. Setting aside the thoroughly enjoyable story, the film itself is just visually beautiful.

I thought the soundtrack was great as well. It was basic and simple, and very appropriate for the film in my opinion.

Its like the scene where he is down and out walking through town, and he see as vision of himself in a very classy night space. You see the 'successfull' version look at him and very falsley wink at him. It might have been just me, but that scene really signified his comtempt for modern bourgois society, but regret at the realisation that he was in a bad situation with absolutly no-one to help him. But that scene aside, visuably stunning stuff.

Oh, jeez. The list goes on and on, I let myself be affected by films far more than I should. Here's just a few though: The final few minutes of the Finale of Six Feet Under (not a film, I know); various scenes in The Burmese Harp, Wild Strawberries; as well as Clean, Shaven. Just going over the scenes in my head makes me feel quite melancholic.

For it's anti-imperialist, anti-establishment undertones and dramatic portrayal of the struggle of poor traveling pansoori singers. It posits determined cultural integrity and artistic passion vis-a-vis life in an harsh imperially penetrated capitalist s-Korea.
