For me, it's always the same thing. Near the end of Titanic, when the string quartet figures they're about done and will go their separate ways, then the one guy starts playing "Nearer, My God, to Thee", and the others come back and join him. No amount of trying can hold back the tears on that one.
-
The end scene in Gladiator when he's reunited with his wife and son kind of chokes me up.
-
ET's death scene. I cried like a little baby. It still get's me.
-
There's not really one particular scene that gets me every time. I really have to be in a mood. But the last one that got me was the boardwalk scene, in The Wrestler. Even though it was in the trailer, when I saw it theatrically, I just lost it.

The end of Star Wars episode III (delivering Luke and Leia to their new homes) made me tear up a little bit the first time I saw it, just because Star Wars was such a huge part of my childhood and that pretty much summed up everything and tied all the movies together.
The scene in the Lion King when Mufasa dies
The ending to American History X. Such a powerful movie, it always gets to me. That is the only one that I actually cry whenever I watch it.
-
Tommy Wiseeau's fight scene in "The Room."
YOU ARE TEARING ME APART LISA :'(
-
The scene in the Lion King when Mufasa dies
This
-
A recent one: the destruction of the USS Kelvin at the start of the new star trek.
-
Limitless because it's so God damn boring.
-
Armageddon - After they return home and the little kid hugs his dad for the first time.
My Dog Skip - When the kid finds his dog half dead on the ground.
The Perfect Storm - When the boat is sinking
There are plenty more but my school work has me so angry right now I can't think of anything sad.
-
I can't watch My Dog Skip, the end kills me.
-
None. I'm a man.
;D
-
The end of Marley and Me. Tears me up every time.
-
Pixar movies. It's because of a mix between happiness, sadness and nostalgia.
Finding Nemo, my favourite movie that I've seen countless times, makes my eyes tear up in the happy parts because I'm happy - when Marvin and Nemo reunites, when Marvin enjoys the maelstrom, when they survive getting swallowed by the whale etc. But the sad parts are worse, of course - when Marvin tries to follow the boat but loses sight of it I still panic, and I'm embarrassingly torn up when he sees Nemo "dead" and then abandons Dory.
"Aranka, why are you crying? You've seen this movie a million times, you know it all turns out good."
"WELL MAYBE IT DOESN'T THIS TIME WHAT IF THEY NEVER FIND EACH OTHER :'( :'( :'("
Also, the beginning of Up made me cry like a baby... both times I've seen it. It's so touching!
Oh, and Forrest Gump. The first time I saw it I cried from the moment his mother died until the end of the movie - I was a complete wreck. The thing was I thought the movie was over soon when his mother died and allowed myself to start crying, but it's wasn't even near the end. I just couldn't stop because it was all so sad, and when it wasn't I accidentally thought of his mother or Bubba again and it all started over. :lol
-
The end of Marley and Me. Tears me up every time.
Well this like hell... Also The Lion King...
-
Alright, here's one that always gets me but I think it's fucked up that it gets me
That one scene in Click when Adam Sandler's character is lying in the rain (SPOILER) dying (/SPOLER)
I mean, what the fuck? It's a dumb adam sandler comedy and I get tears? I think that scene is, like, formulaically designed to make your tear ducts work or something. I mean, shit
-
ET's death scene. I cried like a little baby. It still get's me.
This
-
Oh, and Forrest Gump.
Yeah, the thing that REALLY got me about this movie was that the WHOLE movie, he's devoted to Jenny with all his heart and always lets her know how he feels for her and how important she is to him. She rebuffs him repeatedly and then finally, Forrest has his chance to spend his life with her, she's finally his, and his devotion to her has not been in vain. Such a triumphant moment.
Then she dies of AIDS.
Son of a bitch.
-
The beginning of UP is pretty good tear jerker.
-
The beginning of UP is pretty good tear jerker.
That beginning is very touchy for my wife and I. We couldn't have children and it hit home. We were both bawling in the theaters full of kids.
Thanks Coz.
-

Undoubtedly that would be something touchy to sit through.
Also, edited to suggest that you were crying in the theater, as opposed to something entirely less wholesome.
-
Count me in for Marley & Me as well, especially at the little funeral they have and the kids drew pictures for him and stuff. Mother f. Also Forrest Gump when he's reading his letter to Jenny's grave and breaks down when he talks about how smart little Forrest is. Fuck it's gettin dusty in here just thinking about that part! But the one that always gets me, and this is really freakin lame but whatever we all seem to be putting our manhoods aside and getting confessional in here, is Elf when the little brother (Michael?) first sees Santa in the woods and realizes he's real and Santa shows him the skateboard he got him and the little believe-o-meter goes up. Then he takes Santa's list and starts reading it on tv and all the kids watching at home get all stoked, all the way through to where the a-hole James Caan dad starts singing and Santa's sleigh flys overhead, and they show a close up of a little baby looking at it. God damn I'm so lame! What really makes me ashamed is the obvious fact that Santa and getting presents must have been what really made Christmas special to me as a kid, not like all the peace on earth and goodwill toward men and whatnot.
-
Click..
Seriously, the scene where adam sandler chasing his son in the rain.
-
Click..
Seriously, the scene where adam sandler chasing his son in the rain.
Oh man. That was very very sad. Adam Sandler never made me feel like that before.
Another scene that reminded me of...
Toward the end of Into The Wild when the dad breaks down in the middle of the street. So sad.
-
Going to also go with Click, that was just NOT FAIR.
-
yeah man..
also when sandler's dad told him that he loves him, and he kept rewind that scene..
-
The end of Marley and Me. Tears me up every time.
Well this like hell... Also The Lion King...
Two years ago. We had to put our dog to sleep much like Marley. He had a mass in his intestines and wouldn't eat and was turning into a skeleton with skin draped over it. Me, my son and my wife all just sat in the Vet's office and bawled like little girls. About a month later, not knowing the ending, my wife got the Marley & Me DVD and we were all excited to watch it. But at the end we were all reminded of that night at the Vet's office and all three of us bawled like little girls again.
The way Marley died. The way he went nuts during storms. Marley was so much like our old friend. :sadpanda:
-
None.
Seriously, back in college I offered $100 to anyone who could sit me down and show me a movie that made me cry. To date, no one's collected in the past 7 years.
-
The scene in My Left Food, when Christy writes Mother for the first time on the floor.
-
Life is Beautiful. When the boy sees the tank at the end.
*Spoilers*
For those who don't know (I'm not sure how popular this movie is), a boy and his family are taken to a concentration camp, where his father portrays everything to his son as a game, and if they win, he gets a real army tank. When his camp is liberated and the boy sees an allied tank roll in, his face lights up as if he won.
-
Going to also go with Click, that was just NOT FAIR.
That had a lot of sad scenes, like the rewind when he's saying goodbye to his dad, the scene in the rain/hospital, etc. Really great movie though.
-
I feel that Click got no where near the recognition that it deserved.
-
None.

What were some of the ones they tried to show you?

The Boy In The Striped Pajamas.
-
I feel that Click got no where near the recognition that it deserved.
What did it deserve? It was awful.
-
I feel that Click got no where near the recognition that it deserved.
Yeah seriously. It started out as a usual Sandler comedy, but eventually turned into a really good drama. And it didnt feel sudden or unnecesary at all; they did it very well imo.
The Boy In The Striped Pajamas.
Dude, I went to the theater with three friends and a semi-packed crowd one afternoon. When it ended, and I dont exaggerate at all, no one moved, breathed, or spoke for a good 60 seconds.
One of the most memorable theater/crowd experiences I've had.
-
Benji, The Hunted. It's been years since I've seen it, but there's a scene that made me break down watching it.
More recently, the scene from The Wall where the child Pink is at the train station waiting for his father to return got me choked up :(
-
Click, both of the scenes mentioned already.
The early montage in Up! with the guy and his wife, also previously mentioned.
In Toy Story 2, Jessie's song "When She Loved Me" kills me.
In "The Sixth Sense" when Cole tells his mom that Grandma says to tell her "Every day" and then asks what the question was, and she tells him.
-
How about Deep Impact when the guy goes blind before he ever gets to see his new born? Then he hears him for the first time over the monitor.
-
Any movie or story that has a close pet dying will make me cry guaranteed.

A Walk to Remember

Shawshank Redemption
“Do you know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific?”
- and -
“I guess I just miss my friend.”
Ordinary People
“I’m not disappointed. I love you”
“I love you too.”
It’s a Wonderful Life
“Hark the herald angels sing…”
Rocky
It doesn’t make me cry, but I get really emotional at the end of the 14th round. Rocky gets up despite Mickey telling him to stay down. He looks at Apollo and says “c’mon” and Apollo just drops his head like “I can’t believe this guy is still going.”
-
I'm a total sucker. I cry all the time while watching movies.
-
It’s a Wonderful Life
This is another good choice. Same scene, when his brother comes in by surprise after being rushed in from the airport. Great moment.
-
None. I've gotten very close with The Shawshank Redemption (the scene about the old man after he leaves the prison) and Inception (the end), but I've never shed a tear.
The only time I ever shed a tear over a work of fiction was a show called Clannad, and I think that was partially because I was lying on my side so the tear sort of fell out after welling up.
-
Never cried during a movie. The only time I've cried was when I rewatched Six Feet Under... the series finale.
Movies / scenes that make me want to cry:
Leon - "I think we'll be OK here, Leon"
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - ending
Pan's Labyrinth - ending
Toy Story 3 - incinerator
It's a Wonderful Life - ending
Milk - candlelight march
Up - beginning
Life Is Beautiful - ending
-
marley and me
-
So many things that have already been said, even including Click.
But man. Almost every season finally to Doctor Who, especially Doomsday. I can't help but cry.
-
None.

What were some of the ones they tried to show you?
The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Titanic, Braveheart, Garden State... A lot of indie movies, too, but I don't remember a lot of their titles.
I have been meaning to check out Grave of the Fireflies for some time, though, I hear that one's absolutely heartwrenching.
-
There are probably others, but when Rocky gets knocked down in the 14th in Rocky I, I get a lump in the throat. For as much as the rest of the Rocky series was "guy movies", the first Rocky is so good on so many levels, and by far my favorite.

An old flick from 1983 starring Judd Hirsch and Kate Nelligan called "Without A Trace"; about a boy in NYC who is abducted. There are no clues, or solid leads. The entire film is about the hell his family (especially his mother) goes through, and the detective (Hirsch) assigned to his case. Over a year elapses, and everyone tells her she needs to move on. Hirsch won't give up, and he starts painstakingly tracking down every dead end lead. There is an old woman in Jersey who has a history of calling in all kinds of crazy calls to the police; aliens, Elvis, bigfoot....you name it. She phoned in a tip that the boy was living next door. Because of her history, no one believed her. One day, Hirsch and his young son get in the car, and he drives to Jersey, and sure enough...next door to the old womans house, the kid had been living with his abductor. A guy had abducted him to stay with his house bound mother while he went to work. Back-up arrives, the place is surrounded, and they liberate the little boy. He rides in the car with Hirsch and his kid back to NYC. In every burrough they pass through all the way to his mothers house, a new cop car joins the convey with lights, and sirens on until they drive up her street with about 50 cars in tow. During that 5 minute driving sequence back to the little boys home and his unsuspecting mothers arms...I bawl like a little baby. That movie used to be on HBO ALLL THE TIME, and I've seen it probably a dozen times, and I weep every time.
Also, my favorite film EVER is "It's A Wonderful Life". I have been gifted more than a dozen copies of that film through the years. I own an original movie poster from the movie and have collected a bunch of other memorabillia from it's cast through the years. I have probably seen that movie AT LEAST 80 times. I know all of the dialogue, and even once had memorized the credits. EVERY time Jimmy Stewart says "....That's right. That's right...Atta boy Clarence." I cry my eyes out.
-
I haven't cried at a film since I was really young, but a couple of parts that I found very sad.
That had a lot of sad scenes, like the rewind when he's saying goodbye to his dad
That part in Click. Also, Brooks from Shawshank Redemption.
-
*SPOLIER*
Inception:
"Remember when you asked me to marry you?"
"...Yes"
"You said you had a dream that w'd grow old together"
"...But we did...we did, you just don't remember. I miss you more than I can bare, but...we had our time together. And I have to let you go".
-
Two come to mind, the moment in Field of Dreams when he asks his father,"Hey dad, want to have a catch?" and the scene in Forrest Gump when Jenny is throwing rocks at her old house where she was abused.
-
Oh, and Forrest Gump.
Yeah, the thing that REALLY got me about this movie was that the WHOLE movie, he's devoted to Jenny with all his heart and always lets her know how he feels for her and how important she is to him. She rebuffs him repeatedly and then finally, Forrest has his chance to spend his life with her, she's finally his, and his devotion to her has not been in vain. Such a triumphant moment.
Then she dies of AIDS.
Son of a bitch.
Yeah, it's such a beautiful story, and it ends so horribly but simultaneously happily. I seriously thought I would never get happy again when I watched it, I had just cried for an hour straight and thought I couldn't possibly produce more tears, and then those scenes came. I don't think I've ever cried so much in a single day.
The best thing was, I was watching it alone, and my mother came into my room for some reason just when I had started crying, and she was like "Aww, it is a sad movie?" Then she came in again later, and I was still crying, and she said "... okay, that must be REALLY sad." Then she managed to walk in again just when I was hysteric about just the scene you mentioned. She was like "OKAY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WATCHING." :lol
Toward the end of Into The Wild when the dad breaks down in the middle of the street. So sad.
Oh god. I saw that just a couple of weeks ago and the scene where he realized he was poisoned just made me break down entirely. I didn't cry but I felt like shit for the entire evening after that. When he reads that "without treatment, it always leads to death" and he just starts crying and desperately shoves his fingers down his throat without success, it was too much for me. And on top of that, when the movie was over, I found out it was based on a true story which I hadn't previously known, and knowing that someone actually went through that made me feel even worse.

SPOILERS ABOUT THE FILM "RUBBER":
The bit where the tyre is reincarnated as a tricycle.
-
POSSIBLE SPOILERS
Toy Story: When the moving truck is leaving and Woody & Buzz are nearly out of options, woody has the bright idea to fire up the rocket Buzz is strapped to, because why the fuck not. They end up flying and Woody says to Buzz, "We're flying!" and Buzz says "This isn't flying - it's falling with style!"
Toy Story 2: (A) The scene with Jesse and her previous owner and (B) the scene where Woody needs to decide whether to go to Tokyo with his new friends or return to Andy, when he watches the old tapes of Woody's Roundup and 'You Got a Friend in Me' comes on.
Toy Story 3: The end, especially when Bonnie waves Woody and Buzz's little arms to Andy and when Woody says "So long, partner" but only until Andy says "Thanks guys". I hate that part.
I also cried when Scout met Boo for the first time in TKAM.

The King's Speech
This one was hard to look at... especially the beginning.
-
Definitely Mr. Fredrickson's wife dying in Up.

It's cheesy, and I hate Notre Dame sports in real life, but the end of Rudy makes me cry like a little girl.

It is :sadpanda:
Even it didn't get me. It's depressing, like, I feel bad for like a week after watching it (same with Elfen Lied), but I never cried. Seriously Clannad is just about the saddest thing ever made by mankind.
-
click
the second harry potter (bring on the laughs, i know, but for some reason that john williams song with hagrid coming back pretty much gets me. it probably helps that i was like 10 the first time i saw it)
-
The end of Gladiator
-
I remember the last scene from Homeward Bound made cry like a little kid... well, it happens that I was a little kid.
There are many more but I can't remember right now.
-
Reading through these has made me realize how many there have been, Rudy, Field of Dreams, Forrest Gump. I was starting to tear up at the end of Dead Poet's Society because of the last scene and my sister was like, "Well that was dumb." :lol
And if you don't cry at the end of Band of Brothers you're pretty much a douche bag.
-
That reminds me, the end of Rudy is awesome. The music gives me chills. :)
-

I've found that with a lot of movies, it's usually the music that does it.
-
There is this Christian movie called Facing the Giants, about a high school football coach. Really good movie (with an obvious moral message), but there is a part that I can't recall that is so motivating and yet, the way it plays out in the context of the movie, makes me cry like a pansy.
-
The ending of "Pay it forward"
My mother can't watch that movie since she knows how it will end, she litterally starts crying as soon as the movie starts. :P
-
Up deserves all the mentions in this thread. Also, I get a little choked up at the waiting room scene in Remember the Titans.
-
Rudy (one of the few acceptable answers for any man) and Dead Poet's Society.
Anyone who really wants a good solid cry though ... Search "soldiers coming home" on YouTube.
-
Cinema Paradiso - *Spoilers* when alfredo dies and The las Scene... DAT MONTAGE.
The Reader - The end.
Toy Story 3 - The end.
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind - The beach house scene.
21 grams and Amores Perros - I don't really cry with them but those 2 movies are really fucking depressing.
And...
AND...
DANCER IN THE FUCKING DARK...
WHYYYYYYYYYYYY OH GOOOOOOODDDDD WHYYYYYYYYYYY
-
Anyone who really wants a good solid cry though ... Search "soldiers coming home" on YouTube.
I watched that at work, and had to compose myself before going back into the kitchen. :lol
-
Several scenes in BILLY ELLIOT - my favorite movie of all time.
-
My music teacher's grandson is Billy in the North American play.
-
the iron giant when he goes to stop the rocket
-
My music teacher's grandson is Billy in the North American play.
In the musical? Which one is he? I saw them all when the show came through my city. As much as I like the movie, the musical is even better. I like how the different Billy's give their own take on the character. This is one of the things that makes it so unique. Anyway, it's truly amazing what those kids do for 3 hours on stage. There's no other show like it.
-
Alright, here's one that always gets me but I think it's fucked up that it gets me
That one scene in Click when Adam Sandler's character is lying in the rain (SPOILER) dying (/SPOLER)
I mean, what the fuck? It's a dumb adam sandler comedy and I get tears? I think that scene is, like, formulaically designed to make your tear ducts work or something. I mean, shit
This.
-

The airport one or the one where they surprise their families? Either way, both are great.
-
I saw the suprise one. The bit with the twelve? year old girl in the school orchestra just killed me.
-
Click isn't what it appears on the surface. It starts as a dumb Adam Sandler comedy -- I mean come on, the dog humping the stuffed animal? Freezing Hasselhoff and farting in his face, or smacking the shit out of him? -- but somewhere along the way it turns serious. Sandler realizes that there's actually a downside to fast-forwarding through things. Then it actually turns tragic and you wonder what the hell happened. I think the heavy scenes might hit you harder because you were laughing not that long before. I don't know, maybe a psych major can tell us about that.
-

Hmm, I don't recall that one. There must be another out there that I haven't seen.

Finding Nemo: The part where the pelican tells Nemo that his dad has been traveling looking for him. This shows Nemo how much his dad loves him, and my eyes tear up every single time.
-
Three come to mind.
ET
Old Yeller
Shane
-
the iron giant when he goes to stop the rocket
I go...you stay. :(
-
The ones that really come to mind:
The opening 15 minutes of Up - absolutely soul destroying.
The end of Schindler's List - so powerful and genuinely upsetting.
Loads of scenes in Forrest Gump, but especially the one where Bubba dies.
But you know what has made me tear up most on repeat viewings? The endings of two episodes of Futurama - Jurassic Bark and The Sting. Anyone who doesn't get emotional at the ends of those episodes doesn't have a soul.
-
The part at the end of Toy Story 3 where the toys are about to be incinerated.
-
Rorschach dying at the end of Watcmen. When he starts screaming "Do it" and then blows up. UGH.
-
Rorschach dying at the end of Watcmen. When he starts screaming "Do it" and then blows up. UGH.
Yeah I have to say, that scene was brilliantly done, absolutely captured the power of the book. :tup
-
Futurama - The Sting.
I wouldn't say that made me too emotional exactly, but that was a very, VERY well written piece of television.
-

Jurassic Bark without a doubt. I'm not sure The Sting had as strong an impact.
-
For sure.

Fry's dog! I don't even watch Futurama, but I've seen that scene, and nearly cried.
-
it reminds me of Hachiko, that movie all makes me cry
-
The Lion King the death scene always making me choking me up :'( and with the score of Hans Zimmer it's a perfect mix!!..
-

Sorry, bad memory, it was the opening bit of part one, and she was in a classroom. Also loved the bit with the guys dog.

On the extended version of Fellowship of the Ring, where you really get to see the halfway sympathetic character he was meant to be, Boromir's death.
-
Oh yeah the first time I saw LoTR:RoTJ Extended Edition I cried when Frodo told Sam to go home. I know he didn't know what he was talking about right then, but they just took three three-hour movies to get to where they were. Even in real-time that's long!

I don't know about you guys but I always get the most choked up over Luck of the Fryrish.
-
You know, I'm just going to go out there and say that Futurama has some really, really fucking great writing most of the time. It's unfair.

I know this thread is about movies and tear jerkers but Futurama is hands down my favorite cartoon TV show right now.

UP is a great one. It's kinda cool how half the film (beginning) is for adults.. and the other half (talking dogs adventure!) is for kids.

The Fountain always makes me tear up....

Oh god yes, I forgot about that one!
Agreed with sonata, Futurama is amazing.
-
I definitely have teared up watching movies before, especially anything involving someone losing a father since I'm usually at the movies with my dad and he lost his dad when he was young and I nearly had the same thing happen to me. I'm having a hard time coming up with specific movies where that happened though.
One thing that's made me tear up every time I've watched it is the second part of the House season 4 finale (where House was in the bus crash). One of the best two hours of television ever for me.
-
We watched Life is Beautiful in my sophomore year in High School... absolutely brilliant film and goddamn that ending...
-
The ending to Inception. Damn, that Hans Zimmer knows how to work an audience
-
One that hasn't been mentioned yet is Big Fish. Though it didn't hit me hard(got a touch choked up), I remember when my then girlfriend and I left the theater, a ton of women were consoling their crying boyfriends. :lol

One that hasn't been mentioned yet is Big Fish. Though it didn't hit me hard(got a touch choked up), I remember when my then girlfriend and I left the theater, a ton of women were consoling their crying boyfriends. :lol
Oh man how did I forget that? Wonderful film and ending!

Oh man, I haven't dared to watch this movie since my dad died. I know it's going to be over once that ending hits. Fabulous Burton movie.

This may be an unusual one, but mine's from I, Robot.
It's the part when Will Smith is explaining how he got his robotic arm. He talks about the car crash he survived and that the robot saved him instead of the little girl because he had a higher percent chance of survival. I just feel really really terrible for that character having to live with that knowledge and that memory. Makes me cry every single time.

Where to start... I feel like heaps of movies make me cry.
Hachi without giving anything away makes me cry from the moment he is left waiting for Richard Gere.
The other week I was watching Foxtel my movie was on after Hachi, it had 10 minutes remaining but no I was tearing up. It is a great movie if anyone hasn't seen it.
Titanic At the end where she appoaches the staircase with everyone around, letting go of Jacks hand, Mr. Andrews at the fireplace, the old couple in bed, the mother and her children.
Pixar, their writers are worth every cent Toy Story 2 Jesse left at the donation box, Toy Story 3 where Andy drives away for the final time, the furncae as well but more then end.
Field of Dreams, When Shoeless Joe tells Kevin Costner build it and he will come was for his father.
Mr. Hollands Opus When he realizes his son is deaf and will never hear his music.
Shawshank Redemption When Brooks dies, when Red says he misses his friend.....the score of this movie is fantastic.
Thelma and Louise When they decide to keep driving.
Forest Gump When Forest is talking to his son, watching TV, at the end leading him to the bus.
There are so many more, but these spring to mind. :)

The ending can be pretty tragic, depending on how you interpret it (second time I saw it, I interpreted it as him still dreaming, which I found devestating, although I've since changed my interpretation). Also, like Petrucci said, Hans Zimmer. The track at the end, Time, is one of the greatest score pieces ever.

Not quite, but it's very moving.

Mr. Hollands Opus When he realizes his son is deaf and will never hear his music.
How about when he sings and signs that song at the end for his son. I was like, "I need something to drink" so I could go to the kitchen and wipe my eyes.

What about the very end when he gets to play his symphony and is suddenly confronted with the fact that his life was not, in fact, worthless?

What's the Futurama where Fry, the Professor, and Bender went in the time machine and they had to keep going around until they got back to the right time? There's a scene in a cave that's amazing.
Futurama does that to you because usually you go in expecting comedy and then on occasion they're like "HEY, life lesson and/or really touching story going on here."

Yes, both of those were discussed quite a bit. Great episodes.

Other Pixar movies were mentioned but Wall-E got to me tearing up at a couple spots. I'm a sucker for an actual well-made love story, even if it's made with some robots.

Star Wars ep III. Where Amadala is confronting anakin about going to the dark side on Mustafar... The thing that absolutely KILLS me is that I KNOW it's cheesy acting and writing... but it still chokes me up. :blush

I almost started to cry at the end of The Mist, but I got so depressed so fast I forgot to.

Oh man that ending!!!! That is such a psyched out ending. I felt mad rather than depressed or sad. I didn't want it to end that way. I literally felt mad at Stephen King for doing that do me. Of course that's the genius of Stephen King to be able to take your emotions on a ride like that.

I tell my wife this is a man's soap opera. Either things blowing up and dying or sports and people dying.
-
Oh jeez, I totally forgot about that one. I saw it when I was in junior high. The first movie to make me cry.
It was kinda weird, and kinda cool. As a kid, I never cried at movies (not even the scary or sad scenes in Disney movies) because that's what little kids do. But when Brian died and Gayle Sayers made that speech, I had tears in my eyes and oddly enough, I felt grown up because of it. Like I'd been moved by actual adult emotions, not little kid emotions.

I'm one of those five. The music was pretty haunting too. I had to play that theme song for a piano recital when I was around 11 or so.
-
For some reason, Orbert's post reminded me of an odd one. When I was 7, I saw Snoopy Come Home, right after our family dog I had been with my whole chidhood, had died, and had too run to my room because I was crying hystericaly.
-

It does. I haven't read it, but Darabont talks about it on the DVD commentary. He said when King saw the film, he thought "Now why didn't I think of ending it that way?!" but Darabont says the idea is in the text, he just changed how the outcome actually plays out.
Brian's Song
I saw this for the first time recently. I found it touching, but since I already knew so much about the history and film, it wasn't as moving as it would have been had I seen it without as much knowledge going in. Very hard to make a true story moving, when everyone knows the outcome going in.

I loved the music so much that I went out and bought the sheet music myself so I could play it. A pretty simple piece, but I still remember how cool it was when it went through the bridge and reprised the main theme in big block chords. Yeah, baby! Who the fuck needs piano lessons? Not me!

Some of you mentioned Into The Wild, but nobody mentioned the scene where Chris meets Franz, who later asks if he could adopt him as his grandson, since he has lost his family.

Different movies affect people differently obviously but that was the main weakness to me about Inception. I thought it was emotionally vapid. I had no connection with the characters and i didn't care about the emotional arcs, even though i WANTED to to.
-
Not really sure if it counts, but looking back at the Matrix-sequels kinda makes me cry.
Nah, personally I think both sequels are good, they just aren't nearly as fantastic as the first. ;)

The end of Pan's Labrynth.
...and a more unusual one but in The Lord of the Rings the end where Aragorn's having his ceremony and the hobbits are stood there and he says, "You bow to no-one." Always gets me for some reason :)

I totally agree with Click for the rain scene and one I haven't seen on here yet (surprisingly) is the part in I Am Legend, when he has to kill his dog. Major tear jerker, man.

Dancer in the Dark has only been mentioned once? I'm especially disappointed in you, Sonata. Other movies have made me cry before, but no movie has ever made it happen twice every time I watch it. Two scenes in the movie just leave me completely stunned, staring at the screen with my mouth wide open in disbelief, tears running down my face. IT'S THE SADDEST THING EVER.
-
Hey don't be disappointed with me. Dancer in the Dark is among the greatest films I have seen, but it didn't make me cry. Rather, haunted me and my awful moods for years to come.
-
This might and will sound pathetic but everytime I see the movie Purple Rain and hear that song it get's to me.
"This song is dedicated to my father Francais L. It's a song that the girls in the band wrote Wendy And Lisa"
-
Hey don't be disappointed with me. Dancer in the Dark is among the greatest films I have seen, but it didn't make me cry. Rather, haunted me and my awful moods for years to come.
I only like that movie because I'm sort of curious to death scenes, especially if it involves hanging.

Weird, what I wanted to write was that I only like watching the final scene from that movie (not the whole movie) because it's really emotional, and I have a weird fetish for death scenes (in movies) where it involves hanging.
-
Doctor Who.
So many fucking times.

The Land Before Time--Wont spoil it for those who havent seen it, but those who have know what scene Im referring to. James Horner's magnificent underscore during this particular scene is absolutely heartbreaking and probably my favorite orchestral track of all time!
Rudy--The ending. This is my favorite sports movie and the final ten minutes or so are just so inspiring, you really root for the guy the entire film and to see him make that tackle is just so powerful! Jerry Goldsmith wrote the score for that film and his music for that final game is so perfect, so damn inspirational, I would think this scene wouldnt be such a tearjerker if it werent for his score. (Although I am personally biased since he is not only my favorite composer but musical artist as well.)
But these are just two films that come to mind, Ive teared up at alot of movies, and alot of the time its because its a perfect union of what is being seen and the music that is being heard.
-
Inception, in the scene where Cobb comes to terms with Mal's dying image.
-
Damn, I can't believe I'm going to have to turn in my man card for admitting this but...
There is a scene in the movie, "The Notebook" when James Garner is having a wonderful moment with his wife who suffers from Alzheimer and dementia, where she is remembering there life together clearly. They enjoy dinner together and then he asks her to dance. He is in heaven and he feels he is with the women he loves and she is whole again. Then in the middle of the dance it all ends, as her dementia kicks in. She looks at him in fear not recognizing him anymore, and she starts to panic and scream. He tries to console her and hold her but she is freaking out. As the orderly's enter the room he is left in pieces sobbing brokenhearted.
This scene ruined me when I saw it. I imagined if that were me with my wife and yes, I cried.
-
But you know what has made me tear up most on repeat viewings? The endings of two episodes of Futurama - Jurassic Bark and The Sting. Anyone who doesn't get emotional at the ends of those episodes doesn't have a soul.
I don't know about you guys but I always get the most choked up over Luck of the Fryrish.
Oh god yes, I forgot about that one!
Agreed with sonata, Futurama is amazing.
Yeah. I remember seeing Jurassic Bark for the first time. Now I just can't watch it again because every moment of it is seared into my memory. I hate seeing movies/TV shows where the dog dies. They make me so damn sad. :'(
-
I imagined if that were me with my wife and yes, I cried.
That's what does it for me. I don't cry just because it's a sad scene, I cry because I put myself in that situation. What if I were that person, having to deal with that? Losing a loved one or worse, losing a loved one who's still right there, but isn't? That kills me.

Tick, please turn in your man card. :tick2:

Reading through this thread made me realize something. I don’t tend to cry at sad parts in movies. If done well, I feel sadness, but it ends there. When I end up crying, it is because a scene is more moving than sad. A scene can be positive, even, in an emotional way, and it can move me to tears. Like the end of Ordinary People. There’s nothing sad about that scene; it is uplifting to see father and son connect and heal old wounds in such a way. But it still makes me cry. Someone brought up the end of Rudy. Same thing.
I'll also throw out Star Trek II, not so much when Spock dies*, but Kirk's beautifully, simple eulogy, and Amazing Grace on the bagpipes.
* Interesting backstory on how all that came about, from the original idea, to how it evolved, to trying to keep it under wraps. Even back in 1982 word got out ahead of time that ‘omg they were going to kill Spock!’
-
I was just thinking about Spock's death and how it affected Kirk, but the eulogy never really moved me because Shatner failed to convince me that he was doing anything more than just acting. We're supposed to be moved, and I don't like being hit over the head with it.
On the other hand, there's the scene in Star Trek III, during the mind-meld with Sarek and he's reliving the events. Kirk is repeating his lines, and Sarek is speaking the lines that Spock had spoken, then Kirk quietly says No! as he watches Spock die again, in his mind. That moves me.
-
I know it's not the best movie, but in Star Trek X, after you know who dies and they're in the captains room remembering him.

The scene in Titanic where the old couple brace for the impact in their bed holding each other and let others who are younger go to survive...but it was during the time my grandparents were going through major health problems and I was young, so it reminded me of them and what could happen (death).
-
Rudy is a great one...when the coach gets sacked and you assume that means he will never run onto the field, the players handing in their jerseys, the end.
That movie was so under rated, I can't understand why it was never a bigger hit?!
And you can't say football because I am a girl and couldn't give a s**t about football...the story is beautiful, and again the score, gets us every time. :smiley:
-
Rudy is a great movie. I always tell my wife men cry over movies like that. She just doesn't understand us guys. :lol
-
Also Saving Private Ryan, the staircase scene.
-
Oh yeah, Brian's Song. Been there, cried that.
-
I just saw Dancer in the Dark so I have to bump this. Jesus christ, I can't remember the last time I cried so fucking hard.
Most of my others (movies and TV) have already been mentioned:
The beginning of Up
Six Feet Under series finale
Amores Perros (the dog scene JESUS CHRIST)
Also, Requiem for a Dream was the first movie to really make me cry... mainly Sara. She just breaks my heart, especially in this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clHCsZA0f6Y
and the one after Sara gets the ECT and her friends come to see her in the hospital
Jurassic Bark
Fuck, I have only seen this once and I practically bawl just thinking about it.
-
Just watched Frank Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet again last night, and although it didn't make me cry outright, I felt like I died a little inside when I watched the two die. They are the only Romeo and Juliet I actually feel something for.
-
Yep. This came up in the movie thread as well, but I think what makes this version so awesome is that they just set out to make a great version of Shakespeare's play. No alternate setting which is so chic nowadays, no ridiculous overacting by hacks thinking that that's what it means to perform Shakespeare, no innovative camera angles or other tricks of direction, just a solid version of the play, adapted to film. And it rocks. You get into the story, you care about the characters, and you feel it when they die.
-
Yeah, I really felt like I knew those characters, and when they died I felt as if I'd seen a close friend die.
-
Agreed with that version of R&G. Great rendition. I haven't seen that film in a long time, but I remember Mercutio(?)'s death being pretty moving too (whoever dies in the duel with Tybalt.)
Also, seeing it in class at school with its very brief nudity is pretty neat. At a Jesuit school, no less!
-
Honestly? The Land Before Time. The mother dies like in the first five minutes or so and it s so damn sad! The kid Dino spents the entire film yapping about his mama' and crying and weeping. I can't stand it!!!
-

Which is amazing considering my secular and supposedly "progressive" public high school at the time did skip over it; I didn't even know such a scene existed until I decided to watch the movie on my own about a week ago! :lol
And yes, Mercutio's was especially tragic, although I didn't feel for him quite as much as R or J.
-
Oh yeah, Brian's Song. Been there, cried that.
Anyone who doesn't cry isn't human.

The thing that ruins it for me is the line that follows: "My tummy hurts".
-
Didn't read through the entire thread, so I don't know if this has already been said but...
For me it's definitely the last 20 minutes or so of Big Fish. And I don't see how ANYONE who has lost his father could react any differently. I bawl like a baby for the entire ending of that film.
