Movies that make you cry ( a softie thread)

[MonarC]

What are the movies that you have seen that just make you reach for the tissues? Sometimes I just want to watch a movie and cry. One of those would be:

Steel Magnolias

http://www.musicman.com/00pic/2768.jpg

[webuster]

I have never cried at a film- I'm not really a crying person- but two films, only two films ever made me well up, eyes water- but no bawling eyes out and crying- the two films were-

The Green Mile just after Del's mouse is killed, (sometimes still well up with this scene) And

Dead Man Walking (just saw this last week) when Susan Sarandon's character is singing the hymn to Sean Penn's character.

I never well up in those films like My Girl or Now and Then, none of those 'Friend's Forever' kinda films that have tragedy in them. Some other films I just feel real sad watching them, I couldn't really name them though- films mainly with animal cruelty or really evil bullying in it.

[Janice]

These movies make me cry. There are others, but I can't think of them.

* The Days of Wine and Roses
* Doctor Zhivago
* Requiem for a Heavyweight
* Charley

I absolutely love the Anne of Green Gables movies. I really enjoyed the first two movies in the series. The third one they made around 99 was okay, but it still made me cry.

Forrest Gump is another one that makes me cry. Ah, I forgot Gone with the Wind.

[AnaheimPMWitch]

Titanic,Moulin Rouge, Pearl Harbor

aww! that is such a good movie.. its so underrated though! :(

[webuster]

Many people must be easily moved by a movie. Sure- many films are sad at parts- but you'd really have to be dissecting the film and thinking out what has just happened to be moved a little- and I would think you'd already have to be depressed for a film to drive you to cry. I can't imagine crying at Free Willy or Shop around the corner or any disney films- maybe it's just me. I don't get to into the film- cos I can see what's off the screen too, and what'd around me. Anyone else seen Dead Man Walking. I think I'll buy that film now.

[MonarC]

it's called being tender hearted... There is nothing wrong with crying at a movie. Movies move you especally when you really get into the movie or can personally relate with the characters... Maybe you have a heart of stone? Next time you go to the wizard of oz ask him for a :heart:

[webuster]

I don't have a heart of stone- I'm just one person doesn't cry too much, I don't put on a brave front, or do that whole hard man 'a guy never crys' I just don't really understand somethings- some people have phobias that seem funny too- like fear of buttons or fear of the color blue- everyone's different in what presses emotional buttons. I thought I was silly for feeling choked and welling up at a film- thank god I'm not alone in it all. I just remembered- I watched the film Castaway a few times- I always feel very bad and eyes water in the scene where he loses the ball Wilson- it was like a friend animal or companion that the guy loved in the film and he lost it- it was very sad.

[MonarC]

oooooooh so u admit it u do have a soft side :clap:

The only movie i ever cried on was The Big Street with Lucille Ball.
The part where she starts crying and then i had to go get a box of klenex. When she says "i tried Pinks, I tried awful hard" And then she starts to cry......

[*ShortCake*]

I love that movie The Big Street! Its one of her best movies.. :)

[Brian]

Cocoon
Where the Red Fern Grows

There are others but I can't think of them right this very minute.

Yes i agree!

[webuster]

doesn't everyone have a soft side? Everyone's affected in different ways by a film. Jeter- the guy playing Delacroix in green mile, though now dead (R.I.P) he should have won the oscar for that role- it was a powerful gifted performance.

[JDS84]

The Perfect Storm

[PinkCutieK]

The top 3 movies that make me cry that I can think of right now are:

1.Moulin Rouge
2.Great Expectations
3.Pearl Harbor

BUt then again...I cry in almost EVERY movie. I cried in Adam Sandler's Bigg Daddy for crying out loud....no pun intended lol

[Pitooey]

Imitiation of Life always makes me cry....... :crying: (The 1st one and the 2nd one) :crying:

[MonarC]

"Selena" made me cry and not just because j-ho was in it :rolleyes:

[Hershey]

I dont cry at movies, im not an emotional person but one movie almost made me cry...i got a lump in my throat.....and it was A Cry For Help: The Tracey Thurman Story. I mean, it really got me thinking. Tracey loved Buck, she had sex with him(and i just have a feeling that he was her 1st-dont ask me why i just think that), had his child and she gave him too many chances and he abused them all. Then he goes and trys to kill her (thank God he wasnt successful) (the one you love trying to kill you, God damn, what a tough break). I mean, that will have an effect on anyone, I dont care who you are. This movie is very sad but the end is great-when she wins!!!!

[MonarC]

wow that sounds really sad :(

[TheNothingMan]

These movies make me cry (yes i am a guy an i am not ashamed at the fact that i cry during or after movies):

I Am Sam
Of Mice And Men
Stepmom
A River Runs Through IT
John Q
American Beauty
Patch Adams
American History X

that's all I can think of right now

[Hershey]

Well I think that it was very cool of you to admit that....I dont know how many guys actually admit to crying at movies, I dont know of any guys that cry, but I think that was awesome that you admitted that!!!!

I was just reminded their about Of Mice and Men- during the part where they took the dog. I genreally don't cry after watching the whole story, looking back and thinking 'that's really sad' It's only a specific scene, like the mouse getting squished in the green mile- I don't think back or anything- i guess that's why I wasn't affected by the film Beaches (which is one of the only few weepie, friends forever depressing films I've watched alot- I think it's good). Patch Adams- TheNothingMan I'm gonna make 2 guesses about which parts affected you (I can't remember the whole film, though I watched it alot)- either, the woman in the spaghetti or the guy that's dying, who is joking about death eventually, but then dies. I personally felt real happy watching that film, everything was positive, especially in the scene of the old lady in spaghetti.:wave:

[TheNothingMan]

In Of Mice and Men- what about the part where George shoots Lenny? I have to fight the tears from flowing during that part. John Malcovich plays that part so well and you can just feel the pain that Gary Sinise's character is going through. It's very emotional.

And in Patch Adams- I cry more joyfully at the end. Just knowing all the people he's touched and how he changed the doctor- patient relationship.

I forgot one too- I cried at the end of About Schmidt. It's a funny movie- but that last scene when Jack Nicholson is sitting there crying- I just can't help thinking of how empty his life is- his wife is dead, his daughter is married off, and he has no job. The only thing he has is Ndugu.

Oh cripes- i forgot another one- TIGERLAND. What happened to Bozz? You don't know- he may have died- that would be sad if he was dead 'cause he wsa such a cool guy.

And what about Magnolia? When Tom Cruise realizes how much he loves his father- after his dad is dying. Tom starts crying and I do too. And when it's raining frogs and you hear Aimee Mann singing that gets me every time.

There are really a lot of emotional movies out there

[MonarC]

Watership Down :crying:

[Liza]

Anyone ever see the movie "Lady Jane"? It was with Cary Elwes and Helena Bonham Carter (I think both of their first films) and it is heartbreaking. Saddest movie I've ever seen. It's based on a true story. :(

[Jenya]

Xiu Xiu: The Sent-Down Girl. A very hard film to watch. Your eyes are never dry when watching this foreign film masterpiece! :crying:

[DianeChambers87]

The crucible
Step mom
Steel Magnolias
Schindler's list

[Ewan's My Man]

A Walk To Remember
Lilo and Stitch
OMG...Bruce Almighty made me BAWL (This is Lilo and Stitch were just so sweet, that's what made me cry...not that it was sad)
Moulin Rouge
The Hours
When I'm PMSing practically everything makes me cry.


OOOO...and I know one movie that I'ma bawl in...Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix...whenever that comes out. Oooo lordy. I bawled the last 100-150 pages of that book...the movie I'll be ridiculous.

[TJL]

Okay, I'm not above admitting when a film made me a bit misty...

"Forrest Gump" - The scene when Forrest is talking to Jenny in her grave. If that scene doesn't leave a lump in your throat, you have no emotions.

[Penny Lane]

Legends of the fall :(

[The Modfather]

"My Girl", "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?", "Step Mom" (watched it just after my granmother passed away because of cancer) and "8 Crazy Nights" :o It shouldn't but Whitey brought a tear to my eye.

[Brian]

What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Whenever I watch the end of that movie, I can't help but cry and get a box of tissues. I could watch it over a hundred times and I still would cry. It was so sad. Even thinking about it while I write this post makes me feel tender hearted.

[phoebe7165]

I am a sucker for the weepers.

The Color Purple--When Shug & her father reconcile, then right after that Spielberg hits you again with the reuniting Celie & Nettie after so many years.

Wizard of Oz--Ever since I was a kid, I cry at the part when Dorothy is saying good-bye to Tinman, Lion, & Scarecrow. Tinman says "I must have a heart because it's breaking" and when Dorothy tells Scarecrow "I think I'll miss you most of all."

E.T.--I know the alien is not real, but at the end when E.T. touches his heart and says Ouch to Elliot, and Elliot touches his heart and says Ouch back to him. Even now it still gets to me.

Gone With The Wind--when Bonnie dies, and Mammy is talking to Melanie about Rhett & Scarlett fighting, and Rhett is so distraught over Bonnie's death. It really is a sad scene.

[vashti1999]

The end of Rocky, at the end of the fight when Rocky's face is all beat up and he's yelling out for Adrian -sniff-

[vashti1999]

Oh, and just the thought of Little Nicky makes me cry

There is so much tragedy in that movie. :(

Dances With Wolves gets the tears flowing for me, too.

"Dances With Wolves! I am Wind In His Hair! Do you see that I am your friend? Can you see that you will always be my friend?"

[EricIdlefan]

A Beautiful Mind, Steel Magnolis

[webuster]

I was just thinking about this thread and thinking of movies I've seen since.

I watched 'Stella'- the Bette Midler version, on Christmas Eve- and the scene where no one comes to the Sweet 16 party really got me choked up. Then, when Stella is sitting in her chair in Florida and these two girls are making fun of her. That film's just so sad- it used to be in my video store, but I couldn't find it last time. I haven't seen the original though.

The Hours- I can't remember if I said this- but the scene with Laura Brown leaving her kid and driving away in the car, and the scene with the dying bird.

I completely forgot about the Rocky Movies! I watched Rocky from I was like 6- the only one I can still really remember (the rest are so similar) is the one where Rocky's coach died- Ihaven't seen it in a while- but when he dies- it's just so sad.

So-anyone else got any films to add to the list?

[david&maddie4ever]

Big Fish.

Holy crap...I just saw this at the movies tonight. I had a friend with me, so when the end came, I tried really really hard not to cry and embarrass myself! :o At times I had to look away from the screen so I wouldn't start the water works.

The end was tremendously sad, not because Eddie dies (because you know that's gonna happen), but because of how his son finally understands him. :crying: Oh, God...here we go...don't get me started on this movie...

~Lauren

:sheep

[GabbyFang]

"John Q."That was a funny and sad movie.

[webuster]

I was almost crying watching Big Fish, but not quite. When Edward was telling about how the crow appeared to him in dreams, I was ready to cry. Then he said the punchline, and I laughed so hard! I was on the brink of crying then this joke! I was angry too- playing with me like that!

The first time I watched Phantom of the Paradise, when Winslow is on the roof watching Phoenix and Swan, and he's crying- my eyes welled up so much.

[MonarC]

i want to see bigfish too... :)

[RoseArt]

No movie in my adult life has ever made me cry. Somehow I make too much of a distinction when I see movies knowing that it is all fictitious. and therefore I never get emotional watching them. In fact when I saw "PHILADELPHIA" I could recall cracking up at certain parts I found funny that were real dramatic which had a few people yelling at me to grow up between sobs. Titanic had the same effect on me.

But the one movie that made me cry was "Snoopy Come Home". I remember being 7 years old or so and my mom took me to see it. I was unconsolable after it was over. I felt so bad for Charlie Brown.

[*Marilyn Monroe*]

The only recent movie that's made me cry was Radio.

Me too, I got the dvd for X- mas I balled when I watched it. I've watched it twice since Christmas. I've balled each time. I'm a big softie.

Yeah, Beaches is very sad. Though, she doesn't die at that point. She's taken to the hospital after she collapses. I find it really sad after the funeral when her daughter is on the bed crying and C.C. asks if she wants to live with her.
