Love actually. It kills me every time. Watched it a few nights ago and was fine until the bit with Simon from Teachers standing outside Kiera Knightlys house with the boards. I wept like a fucking baby.

Oh and the opening scene for The Lion King for it's sheer beauty.

Very few films, TBH. I hardly cry now, seem to have supressed it. I jsut feel sad. Books, on the other hand... Hammer of Eden man, deep. Thats a real sad story. :crying:

One of my Mum's favourite stories is how I burst into tears at the end of Watership Down when the black rabiit comes down to take the rabbit to bunny heaven.

I also have a lump in my throat during 'A Night to Remember' (which is simply the best Titanic film out there), especially when the gambler gives someone a letter to his sister and then swims out to die rather than risk tipping the others out of the boat...

As Kaffrin pointed out; if you've never cried during a film, you've never seen Grave of the Fireflies

Trainspotting -

when Mark Renton OD's...and they start playing Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day'...its quite unique in that the main character is dying but everyone else is just carrying on...really shows more than anything else how junkie are treated as just the lowest form of human scum...its dehumanising and truely horrific...

I felt sad at the end of Vanashing Point... didn't cry, but that ending is such a slap to the face... Brilliant film really.

I have wept at so many!!! The one I cried most in was pearl harbour...... had a bf who was in the army when the film came out and so it got to me a bit...... :crying: The last time I cried at a film was when me and my bf were watching robin hood...... he cried cause the song always reminded him of me in the years we split.... ahhhh bless his cotton socks...... :heart:

For all those that have mentioned Watership Down - please tell me that I was not the only child traumatised by the Black Rabbit. Good rabbits just aren't meant to appear as a scary black floating face in the sky with pointy glowing red eyes.

18-03-2005, 10:36 AM
Sleepers and Green Mile, every single time :(

Also, there was a programme on a couple of weeks or so ago called "Dad" or something. When the old man is trying to help his wife, that made me cry so much, I had to stop watching it. My housemates thought I had gone mad.

It doensn't take much for a film to make me cry, but the ones I can remember just now are ...

Green Mile
The Lion King
Dumbo
E.T.
A Walk to Remember
Titanic

I also cried my eyes out at Big Foot and the Hendersons when I was wee. It's so sad when they are being mean to him and trying to get him to go back into the forest!! :crying:

YES!! i agree!! that rabbit is scary! i havent watched that film in ages.. ill have to go rent it :D i also think 'general wormwort' (or whatever the hell his name is!!) is very scary too!! especially when he goes in the good rabbits' burrow and kills some of them :( an awful lot of blood in that film for a childrens film..


and yeah, green mile!!! i completely forgot about that one! i cried my eyes out when i saw that.. the bit when... umm.. the man with the pet mouse gets electrocuted and it goes wrong, and at the end when.. the big guy gets electrocuted and all the guards are crying :crying:

I don't tend to get soppy over the lovey-dovey films, although I'm all in for a bit of romance.

A tear jerking moment for me normally involves a very unsual film twist. The one that did it for me was the ending for the "Cube". I will not reveal that happens in here.

BTW, for those who mentioned the Disney films: Bambi and the Lion King, try watching Mulan. Mulan was sort of more obscure. It apparently didn't get as many box office sales and then vanished without trace. For me, I only discovered it recently and I think it's fantastic. It didn't make me cry, but I just want to say to the Bambi/Lion King fans to give Mulan a try. There are some sad parts in there.

I was deeply traumatised by a few scenes when i was a child.. The part where the burrows are being filled in, the rhym about death "take me with you river far far away..." and the part where the rabit is relaying his tale. "The fields they filled with blood" OMG that part scared me so much! That film is so not suitable for young children!! :no:

Hmm. Films that make me cry.

I'd say ... Dead Poet's Society at the end, cheesy set piece though it is.

My Life Without Me - though I'd challenge most humans not to cry at that film.

And The Notebook was quite a tear-jerker too.

Some have already mentioned it before, but yeah, Grave of the Fireflies is definitely on the top of my list.
For some reason I was near tears at some point when I watched Princess Mononoke. I don't really remember when or why though. ;)

I don't actually cry, but I'm slowly becoming more and more emotional when watching various films. Maybe I'll break that barrier the next time I watch Grave of the Fireflies. ;)

Lion King and City of Angels. Many others too but I can't remember them all.

*spoiler below*

















He becomes human, after being an angel, so he can spend his life with the woman he has fallen in love with and then she is cruely taken away from him. How can that not make you cry?

Oh well, I don't need to watch City of Angels anymore :|

There are lots of films that make me cry. Bambi and the Lion King, The Notebook ... these are the ones that come to mind just now. I'm sure there are loads though. I can be quite teary at films.

Don't try to be patronising just because you're in the wrong. You can't just write

*Spoiler*

and then expect someone not to look at the line immediately below it. Most people will scan read a post probably looking at more than one line at a time, unless you're some kind of retard that reads one word at once.

I wasn't trying to be patronising, although yes I suppose I wrote it like that. If I saw *spoiler* I wouldn't look below it, knowing that if I hadn't seen that film then it would give it away.

I apologise though. *edits post*

I forgot about Homeward Bound - that film is sooooo sad!! :crying:

Also, City of Angels was crap so you won't be missing much mist. I cry at practically everything but that film was just so dull I didn't even get slightly teary eyed.

My Girl.

Oh, and Steel Magnolias. That one was embarrassing, watched it with new housemates (about 18 months ago), two of which I didn't know very well, and it was the most embarrassing type of crying possible. You know the type, lots of snot running and unattractive snorting noises. Never lived that one down :blush:

I only cry when animals get hurt... Unless they get comically hurt.

When humans die I normally laugh or don't care.

The RSPCA and animal shelters make me wanna cry because it has kittens looking out of cages and sad dogs that shake when you go to touch them with bulgy eyes. :crying:

Dude... I can dig that, im much the same. Animals in comic situations where you know its all OK (Comedy films, etc) are ok. But otherwise its sad as anything.

I lauged at human chappies dieing though, unless its humand in Iraq or somewhere. Although there have been comic deaths in war.
