Come on then, admit it, what films have made you cry...

The last 10 mins of Toy Story 3 had me going, a wonderful film. The scene holding hands in the incinerator was brilliant. I told my sister-in-law how moving it was and my daughter was saying no it isn't. Had to explain to her why.

 

Also Shawshank Redemption and LOTR as on that list.

 

I will always remember the first time I watched Shawshank. I didn't know much about the film (always a good thing). I was desperately willing Morgan Freedman to find Andy.

I found the wonderful performance Debra Winger & Tony Hopkins gave in 'Shadowlands' to be a profoundly moving experience . I can't watch 'Schindlers List' without welling up either . I even cried like a little baby at a cheap TV movie called 'I think my name is Steven' years ago .

 

What a big girls blouse I really am !

Another vote for Marley and Me, was at the cinema watching that expecting some doggy rom com, how wrong I was. :(

 

Up - what a brilliant opening montage/first 10 minutes.

 

A film that always makes me emotional at the end, never cry but close would be Lost in Translation.

Up also makes me well up

Stand by Me

Love Actually

Forrest Gump (when he meets Forrest Jr)

Ghost

It's a Wonderful Life

Steel Magnolias

Philadelphia

ET

Titanic

Homeward Bound

and LOADS more that i can't think of right now.......basically, if its even only a little bit sad, i'll cry at it ......:cry: :rolleyes:

 

I got Marley and Me for Christmas and i STILL haven't watched it yet coz i know i'm gonna be a total blubbering wreck!!!

 

 

in fact i bought my 2 boys (5&7) a storybook that deals with the circle of life issue (for something to live something else has to die) etc. It's about a young tree who grows in the forest next to an old oak, and the oak teaches him all he needs to know about the forest etc .Well one year after a very cold winter ,the old oak doesn't come back to life in the Spring like all the other trees have and the young tree is upset and confused by this............Guess who is sits there in floods of tears trying to carry on reading the story !!!!!! :blush: :blush: :blush:

Never actually cried watching a film but the closest i've come have been during United 93 and The Boy in Striped Pyjamas.

 

Excellent film - but I'd blubbed already as I'd read the book before I saw the film.

Marley and me? Cos the dog dies? Not really an animal lover so meh

 

Not sure i have ever cried at a film as an adult. Came close to crying at some Noel Edmonds Christmas Presents once though

That was the first film that I misted up to....

 

Others that have got me dabbing at the eyes are Pan's Labyrinth and I've Loved you So Long (No, that isn't a top shelf film....!)

Same here. Practically any good quality film with a really touching moment can send me off on one. For example, the last time I saw Field of Dreams I thought... Right, not this time..! Man of iron..! But the lump grew bigger in my throat, and was nearly choking me, as the moment came, and Ray asked... Hey Dad, you wanna a game of catch..? And his Dad answered... I'd like that. I was gone. A blubbering wimp in the armchair.

 

I'm a modern bloke and I like having emotions, so there. :D

Dont know if anyone saw it, but that film that was on More 4 on saturday about the Tsunami (sorry the name of it escapes me). I was blubbing like a little baby.

Pan's Labyrinth got me. The end bit where.... no, better not spoil it for those who haven't seen it.

 

Last time I had cried like that over a film was when I watched Watership Down as a child.

Spirited Away, a Japanese animation by Hayao Miyazaki - the scene on the train heading out through the marshes makes me well up.

Toy Story 3 for the usual reasons plus a personal one

The bar singing La Marseilleise in Casablanca

"I am Spartacus"

Anything to do with sacrifice or honour or victory against the odds in the face of adversity (see Rocky)

"You're just to good to be true" in The Deer Hunter

Joe Pesci getting made in Goodfellas

 

 

Ok, I lied about the last one.

Toy Story 3 (the incinerator scene and the last scene)

 

Toy Story 2 (Jesse's song)

 

It's A Wonderful Life (the end)

 

The Jungle Book (the bit where Mowgli thinks Baloo is dead - every. ****ing. time.)

 

Withnail and I (the Hamlet soliloquy)

 

this is all a bit worrying. mayhap I am closer to a nervous breakdown than I had previously thought.

Anyone remember 'Heaven can wait'?

Which version? I've seen the Warren Beatty one.

 

That's the one. A strange choice but one of my all-time favourite films, and a real tear-jerker.

watched Knowing with Nicolas Cage in the other day & welled up at that,due to the ending :blush:

 

Please say it was out of embarrassment at how bad it was?

Another vote for Pan's Labyrinth.

 

My Neighbour Totoro always gets me, as does Grave Of The Fireflies. I actually cried in the bloody cinema at Up and even bloody Precious, ffs.

Fever Pitch at the Hillsborough part, and after they won the league as i imagined what it would feel like if Saints did that, or in the first part if it was Saints fans!
