What films make you cry?

[Suzanne123]

I must have watched The Railway Children (both the original version, and the more recent Attenborough version) about 125,327 times and I still cry every single time Bobby says...

 

"Daddy! My Daddy!"

 

Same!

[Ernie]

Actually quite a few!

The Elephant Man

The Last snows of Spring

Philidalphia

 

I have not seen this peronaly but have read a few reviews and appartantly The Last snows of Spring is the saddest movie ever, people crying in the cinema stuff, much grit in eyes, and seems to have stayed with people for decades. I don't believe it has ever been on tv, and when videos appear on ebay they go for about

[Weave]

I cried at the end of 'Stephen King's The Mist'

[frankie]

Dancer in the Dark should win some kind of a trophy in this category, never have I cried so much during a movie. The tears came sometime before the middle of the movie and never stopped after that. There was snot involved too, it was that bad.

[kikee]

I have never cried during a move but I came really close at the end of Eight Below, when he found his dogs.

OMG! I love that movie! I had to watch it for one of my feminism classes in college and bought the movie the next day. It is so powerful and unique in its ability to make you feel such a storng connection with the characters. I cry like a baby every time I see it. Bjork is brilliant as an actress.

 

I know its a bit of an oldie, and a kiddy movie... but I always cry during The Land Before Time. The end just gets to me when they start playing that song... *sniff*

I cried at the end of Titanic after i realised i would never get those 3 hours of my life back again.

I cried at the end of Titanic after i realised i would never get those 3 hours of my life back again.

That's a common feeling. I tend to skip the first hour or so of that movie.

 

I tend to cry whenever a main character dies. I get very wrapped up in the story and whenever there's a sweet part or a death I get teary. It's a joke amongst my family actually.

[Univerze]

What Dreams May Come, Moulin Rouge, the Dead Poet Society. There's plenty more, since I cry easily when watching films.. pff, I cry easily anyway, so why not when watching films? I'll come up with some more later.

It is sad, what a twist!

I love that film and it definitely made me cry my eyes out Breaking the Waves (by the same director) also has me in tears.

I've not seen this film in ages but I remember it making me cry when I was little!

 

Iris made me cry buckets. But anything to do with dementia usually does

[chesilbeach]

Absolutely guaranteed to make me cry every time are:

The Way We Were

Moulin Rouge!

Four Weddings and a Funeral

[Chrissy]

I agree about 'Four Weddings & A Funeral' Chesilbeach!

I'll throw in 'Serenity' too for making me cry, and 'Steel Magnolias'.

[Book Fiend]

It would be quicker to list the films that don't make me cry! Really it doesn't take much! However the only film I absolutely cannot watch because it upsets me too much is Dumbo!

[frankie]

I just thought of Boys Don't Cry. That movie makes me cry everytime, and and I get really upset by it and I cannot stop thinking about it for a couple of weeks. I cannot watch the movie anymore, it's so awful

[joe]

Truly Madly Deeply everytime

[Dimitra]

Weep or really cry? Cause I've only really cried in Atonement.

[Peacefield]

I'm in Book Fiend's boat as well - I cry very easily! There are a few that made me actually feel ill from crying so much though:

 

Terms of Endearment

Steel Magnolias

Born on the Fourth of July

Charlotte's Web

[Laura-Jade]

Beaches never, ever fails to make me cry like a baby. I can't watch it with my Nanna because we both just end up blubbering embarrassingly .

 

A Walk To Remember also gets me going. The film is bad enough but when I read the book, I had to put it down and leave the room for a while to get myself together .

 

I also cry at most Disney films, especially Beauty and the Beast. And there was a rather embarrassing time at Disney Princesses on Ice a couple of years ago, but that's a story for another time

[Cookie]

When I was a kid Short Circuit 2 made me cry.

 

I watched The Forgotton Toys with my niece a couple of years ago and I welled up from that, also The Fox and The Hound made me teary too.

 

Apparently I only cry at non-human sad stuff!

[poppyshake]

Tom Hanks in 'Philadelphia' and Anthony Hopkins in 'Shadowlands'.

I usually have a sniffle at 'Little Women' too and 'Finding Neverland'.

Oh and 'Love Story'.

[Nollaig]

Dead Poets Society.

 

Absolute masterpiece.

[Melisa]

For me it's Philadelphia......you know the bit where he walks out of Denzel's office all pale and gaunt and you can just hear in the background Bruce Springsteen singing. Get a massive lump in my throat!

 

Also, Tears of the Sun and Pay it Forward. They're another two that render me a blubbing mess!

[Jessi]

Steel Magnolias - everytime!

[Nicola]

I watched Beaches again and always cry at that film. I hate when they're sitting on the porch, and Bette Midler starts singing Wind Beneath My Wings

 

I'm exactly the same! Oooh I've got goosebumps just thinking about it.

 

Other movies that get me everytime are Braveheart (the bit at the end

when he see's his wife walking through the crowd as he's being tortured

), The Color Purple always has me in tears when

Netty gets reunited with her children

but the worst movie has to be The Notebook. I watched it with my Mam and we both cried for about an hour after it had finished . Then I loaned it to my Sister who didn't even think it was sad....she clearly has a heart of stone!
