Movies that made you cry?

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

Any movie or moment in a movie that makes you cry every time you see it? Could be welling up with a few tears or balling your eyes out.
I've got a few (my dad would call me a wuss, but he cried at Billy Elliot and at Titanic).

***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***

* The very end of Schindler's List - That violin reaching a crescendo as the tribute to the 6 million murdered comes on the screen, I go every time :(

* The Iron Giant - 'Superman'...you know the part I mean, if you've seen it, I well up before it even happens!

* The end of ET - ..of course

And many more, but over to you now :)

well I have b-been known to cry uncommon loud at the drop o-of a hat.. s-so to speak...
The last Samurai... gets me every time.
Titanic... the same...
Doctor who... the episode about being left behind.... I was in bits... but that aint a film.

[Mass Grave Aesthetics]

37°2 le matin (1986) also known as Betty Blue, is not only one of the greatest films I´ve ever seen, but it also causes my tears to flow like a stream of river every time I watch it.
Claire Dolan (1998) is another masterpiece I have a hard time holding back the tears while watching.

[Leonid Brozhnev]

I watched Titanic for the first time a few days ago (hey, what can I say, i'm not a movie person) and I did find myself welling up a bit at the end when you're taken through the wreck and all the dead people come back to life. Can't really think of any others, I know there's a few but I can't remember which ones.

[Quail]

I don't really cry at films :( Sometimes I do well up, but I don't think I've ever actually cried at a film.

[Jesus Saves Gretzky Scores]

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. I was really young and I don't remember what it was exactly, but that was the only time I've cried. I almost did at the new Winnie the Pooh movie.:crying:

[Prometeo liberado]

Alright wuss, how about Manuel Puig's Kiss of the Spider Woman? The violin solo at the end of the movie while our hero's body is tossed into a dirt lot got my water works going.

Oh, almost forgot Serendipity! I couldn't stop crying over the fact that this was a cross country flight and this peice of shit film was our featured movie. John Cusak as the romantic lead? May as well have been Joan Cusak because all I did when seeing this crap come on was bawl my head off!!

The barn-building scene. This is really moving. An Amish family had lost their barn to a fire. But the community pulled together in a collective endeavour, and built them a new one.

Later in the film, a crooked copper who has come to kill a colleague ('John', played by Harrison Ford) who is seeking refuge with the Amish, has his deadly plan thwarted, cos a young Amish boy rings a bell outside his homestead. This indicates that peeps are in distress. All the Amish men working in the fields stop what they are doing, drop their tools, and come running to answer the distress call. There copper is unable to shoot John and the Amish family he was hiding with, cos the sheer volume of peeps who came to his assistance rendered the copper powerless.

Here is a link to the music as well, which is very touching too:

I did too.


Dancer in the Dark, Grave of the Fireflies, & Magnolia (same with many other parts) are the only other ones that come to mind right now. I'm sure there's more, I'm a cry-baby.

[Arlekino]

To be honest I am very sensitive lady and I often cried on films. I used remember cried when I watched Soviet films if was good story about love. Few weeks ago I watched play "Warshavskyje melody" good love story set in war time and I broke into tears.

[Trap Queen Voxxy]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who cried during Titatnic, the last time I saw it when it came out in 3-D, I couldn't help myself when Rose is starting to realize Jack is dead and keeps begging for him to come back. The sheer shock, horror and hopelessness of the scene gets me every time.

I also cried at the end of Bent when the Nazi guards shoot Horst and Max is ordered to dispose of the body and he continues to hold him even when the usual bells to stand attention go off, he refuses to let him go and then finally tells him he loves him. Then he takes off his jacket and puts it on, wearing the pink triangle he always rejected, goes over to the cap on the fence and kills himself via electrocution; every fucking time. Even though it's a happy ending I do kind of well up at the end of Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain. I don't know why, it's just so romantic and free.

"V for Vendetta", when she finds the love letter in the cell.

[GallowsBird]

'All Quiet On The Western Front' (both versions but especially the later one), 'Sacco and Vanzetti', 'Once Upon A Time... The Revolution' (the "I figli morti" part), 'Keoma' (near the end) and 'Oh What A Lovely War' (the ending scene is one of the most devastating scenes on film) and (WWI again) 'Johnny Got Your Gun'.

[Permanent Revolutionary]

Grave of the Fireflies was heartwrenching to watch the first time. I cried and couldn't sleep. Really a masterpiece of animation.

[Robespierres Neck]

Even though it's a happy ending I do kind of well up at the end of Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain. I don't know why, it's just so romantic and free.

Oh yes, I feel the same exact way. It happens every time. I forgot about that one.

[CommieTroll]

I never really cry at films, dunno why. I guess no film has ever provoked that amount of emotion in me. I'd say the closest I've ever came to crying at at film is the end of The Assassination of Jesse James.

[x359594]

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) and Sansho Dayu (1954) are the only ones that really brought tears to my eyes. My compañera is rather more easily brought to tears than I; she wept at the end of For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) when we watched it recently (and she'd seen it before!)

[wunks]

the scene in the exorcist where she spider walks down the stairs always draws a few tears from me, it's more tears of joy though tbh

[eyeheartlenin]

I cried at the end of Longtime Companion, which actually had an impressive, very original ending, I thought, something I never expected. That film made a tremendous impression on me, and I can still remember the details of the theatre I saw it in, decades ago. The film was kind of like the epitaph of a generation; it was something like Dancer from the Dance on celluloid, a witness to the passing of a way of life.

[wsg1991]

Grave of the fireflies ,
probably the only movie it made cry so far , i did watch it twice , the first time when i was 7 years old , It was shocking , and then again at 19 years old , a master piece ,

[HolyFoolRussianArchetype]

I have a long history of crying at films, as does my mother. Dumbo is the first film I can remember crying while watching, when I was very young. Dogville is a more recent film which made me cry in certain scenes, as well as being one of my favorite films.

I guess I must have been about 17 years old when my parents rented I Am Sam. I found the DVD on a Saturday morning and started watching it, having never seen the trailer or reading anything about it. I started crying about five minutes into the film and never really stopped until the end. Certain scenes had me sobbing uncontrollably. Subsequent viewings did not have as much of an emotional impact obviously, but I Am Sam is still the film which made me cry the most.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I can't stand Michael Moore, but I admit to welling up a bit during "Bowling for Columbine", during the scene in which they play the 911 tapes from the Columbine shooting, with the camera panning across the empty halls of the school. That was a really powerful moment in the film, I thought. Also when that one teacher recounts the time a six year old girl was shot and killed in her classroom, and her desperate attempts to save her as the girl went white when the blood drained out of her.

[Dunk]

Grave of the Fireflies.

[Pretty Flaco]

ive never had a film make me straight up cry but my eyesll water up.
pursuit of happiness made me tear up when will smith is the bathroom with his son at the subway.
boyz n the hood almost got me with the ending when ice cube disappears walking away and its revealed he got killed by bloods after his brothers funeral.

[Lucretia]

Wall-E. Ending scenes. Does it every time.

[Firebrand]

Not strictly speaking a film but the end of the last episode of blackadder gets me every time, that sudden deliberate change in tone where the jokes are over and the reality of the situation sinks in.

[Crux]

The Room.

[rednordman]

Grave of the fireflies ,
probably the only movie it made cry so far , i did watch it twice , the first time when i was 7 years old , It was shocking , and then again at 19 years old , a master piece ,I think that movie made me cry within the first 3minutes of it. powerful stuff.

[Zugunruhe]

I have a lot of things I've cried at, but I think it's because I seek particularly moving things and not that I'm likely to burst into tears at the drop of a hat:
Novembermond: Nazis and lesbians. I cry.
La vita è bella / Life is beautiful: every time I re-watch it, I start sobbing when he first says "buongiorno principessa."
Boys Don't Cry: YOU GET 'EM HILLARY SWANK.
Million Dollar Baby: This was the first film to ever make me cry, which I'm not proud of. It's not a particularly good film, but I was young and naive.
I Love You Phillip Morris: 'Nuff said. It was an emotional roller coaster ride.
The Killing Fields: I watched this movie with my Khmer best friend whose parents went through the Khmer Rouge. We held each other and sobbed on her couch for nearly the entire length of the movie.
Sophie's Choice: Who didn't cry?!
Sophie Scholl: Die letzten Tage: I nearly made it through the whole film, but in the last moments I completely lost it.
Forgiving Dr. Megele: About a Holocaust survivor whose whole family was killed and who was experimented upon with her twin sister. She forgives Dr. Mengele and I cry my little eyes out.

Also some shows I've seen that made me cry:
Hedwig and the Angry Inch: I just cry from beginning to end because I identify with Hedwig so so so much.
Into the Woods: Right around here: "You're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice. I'm not good, I'm not bad, I'm the Witch! I'm the Witch, you're the world."
Our Lady of 121st Street: Literally one of the greatest plays ever written. It's about a nun who dies and her body is stolen. All the people whose lives she touched in the process interact with each other and there's a lot of sadness and cursing and alcoholism and it reminds me of my childhood.
For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Was Enuf: I saw it live at the Vortex Theater here in Austin and it was just so perfectly choreographed and the lighting and all the actresses where literal perfection.
The Marriage of Bette and Boo: I want to cry already just thinking about it. It's so horribly perfect.

Now I'm making myself sad. I'm cutting myself off before I do any more emotional damage to myself.

[Princess Luna]

I just watched Do the Right Thing, I had seen it on a list of saddest movies so I knew something was going to happen, but I was still shocked when it did. I didn't fully cry, but my eyes definitely got watery.

[Red Rabbit]

The end of SLC Punk. Every. Single. Time. :crying:

[Zav]

I cry every time I watch Hedwig and the Angry Inch, at the end of Libertarias, at documentaries about the degradation of the environment, especially deforestation (I'm an arborsexual. Sue me.), and at old Disney movies, especially Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

[roy]

i watched 'the grey' starring liam neeson recently and that was surprisingly emotional stuff. such a thoroughly somber film.
