Okay, let's be honest with ourselves, I know some of you had to have gotten misty eyed while a few movies during your time. To be honest, I try to never allow the emotional factor of films to get to me, as most of them use it disguise how tragically cliche ridden and/or horrible the plot is (i.e. "Free Willy", "Baby Geniuses", "Battlefield Earth", "Independence Day" or any of the care bear films in general, for example). However, I'd be lying if I said that there weren't some that almost got to me; which also happen to be films that I told myself that I would NEVER review on here at all, as I would fear that my words wouldn't give them justice. Not saying that I wouldn't be open to reviewing them IF, and only if I got a ton of requests for those particular movies. If nobody requests it, then I guess kudos to never having to review them.
However, before I list the films that have touched my heart from watching them, I'd rather hear your film list first. Therefore, please list as many of the films that have either made you cry, or feel touched emotionally in some way. If there's enough responses here, then I'll gladly post mine as well. If there isn't, then oh well.
I am a blubbering,sobbing mess when I watch The Never Ending Story lol.I am such a baby.
Nah, that doesn't make you baby. It just means you have very good tastes, as I love that movie as well. In fact, I think it's probably one of the best children's movies ever made.
YES, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE THE NEVER ENDING STORY,,,ME I HAD TO KEEP WIPING MY EYE.....A GREAT ONE
The graveside finale of Schindler's List had me really shaken more than any other film I've ever seen.
PS I Love You... yes it's a chic flick and yes I cry my eyes out every time, but it's sooooo good!
I cry way too easy at movies . . . at tv shows, at commercials. I think in real life I take on the role of, if not hero, the guy who tends to things and keeps his cool, etc, so with films I just gush like a little girl. However, not at the stuff most do - I hate the 'wind beneath my wings' kind of movies, hate "Pretty Woman", "Ghost", "Officer An A Gentleman", "Dirty Dancing", etc . . . I cry when the story is compelling like at the end of "The Searchers", I cry when things are just done so well like when Fred Astaire dances, and I cry when I watch favorites "Here Comes Mr. Jordan", "Rebecca", "The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad", etc . . . especially when I watch with my kids and see them enjoying these favorites, that makes me cry.
The movies I have cried over were,,
1.) Pay it forward
2.) Deep end of the ocean
3.) Seven pounds (Will Smith)
4.) Jesus of Nazarath
I like animals, they are cute. Once, I watched a movie on TVRI, the national television station of my country in around 1980, when I was still at my elementary school; I forgot the title of the film, but I still remember the figure of the story -- a she-lion named Elsa which was taken care by the main figure of the story in Kenya, Africa. And the film was closed by the song "Born Free". I was so impressed that then I named a cat of mine after the lionese name. I don't want to watch the movie anymore, it is a very sad one for me.
Beaches
Wind beneath my wings gets me ever time
Charlotte's Web, Terms of Endearment, Gran Torino, Titanic and Snow White.
There are so many more but those are the ones that really make me bawl.
The only movie that has ever made me cry is <i>Snoopy Come Home</i>. You probably know which scene I'm talking about.
ALWAYS cry during:
A Little Princess.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Finding Nemo
I don't watch movies based on true stories for this very reason. xD Bad cries are not cries I can handle!
The Indian Tamil language film named as '3'....to describe about this film i shd tell a world famous, cnn awarded 'song of the year' for WHY THIS KOLAVERI DI song, which is present in this film. This film is screened in many foreign film festivals and received accolades. The actor dhanush performance in the climax will surely pulls tears from your eyes.
Taking Chance. Hands down. It even made my husband cry like he was at a funeral.
did you like that film? whether it made you cry? how is dhanush acting in that film?
I loved the movie. Kevin Bacon is a pretty good actor and he nailed it in Taking Chance. Have you seen it?
I'm not talking about "Taking chance" film, actually i'm talking about "3" film(INDIAN TAMIL LANGUAGE FILM). "WHY THIS KOLAVERI DI" SONG IS PRESENT IN THIS FILM ONLY.
I'm sorry but I have no idea what you're talking about or how it relates to Taking Chance. You lost me! lol
what I'm talking is no way related to "Taking chance". I'm talking about Indian film named as "3".
Marley and Me (and my husband thought I would enjoy it because I love animals). I cried like a baby. When I was a kid, I cried when I watched Old Yeller.
I cried when I watched Gone With the Wind, Romeo and Juliet (the one with Olivia Hussy) and always cry when I watch the movies about Jesus dying on the cross.
The movies that are designed for it never make me cry, my wife refused to speak to me for a week many years ago when I laughed out loud in the cinema at Love Story.
I do remember as though it was yesterday watching a black and white B movie at 9 years old, about a tramp and his dog. The movie generally was about the pair of them sharing the rejection of society that constantly worked to separate them, of course ending up with the dog dying the moment after the old man he had been looking after died - and the realisation of what love and life is really all about by the clinically stupid 'carers' and authorities. That made me cry openly (along with most of hte rest of the audience) Probably made in the 1940's and long gone now. Pity.
Up was the last one that just kind of hit me, especially at the beginning and end. Lion King is another one. Alot of them make me cry, but alot of times I end up forgetting until I see a certain scene again.
The Land Before Time, when Littlefoot sees his shadow and thinks its his mom. Gets me every time.
I forgot about "The Land Before Time" that was sad when Littlefoot thought he his mother--so sad.
Other movies that tugged at my emotions are:
"My Dog Skip"
"Ghost"
"Gone with the Wind"
which austin powers movie do you speak of?
Believe it or not I bought tickets for, and walked out, of the first two. I'm a huge Mike Myers fan, and had faith that although the first one was awful, he would recover for the second....didn't happen
hmm..i actually liked the first two movies, as it was the third one that horrible. oh well, to each their own. i guess this means you won't be seeing the fourth movie, huh? I just read recently that Mike Myers is working on a fourth austin powers movie.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, just shoot me.
SO TRUE!!! LOL! I've never been able to sit through any of those.
I cry with every drama, and every sad commercial there is. I'm a cry baby
Korean movies made me really cried, I do not know if it is because of the English subs or the Korean writers are quite good, I had seen many movies in my time and only K-movies made my tears fall.
A Moment to Remember, il Mare, Ditto, Heartbreak Library, How to Keep my Love, April Snow, My Wife Got Married, Windstruck, Love Me Not, Innocent Steps, Daisy, Trace of Love and hoping to watch more.
Korean movies are far superior to most others in their photography and filming etc. It is a shame they do not dub out the best with English so that the world can watch and enjoy them.
I don't know about dubbing, as sometimes it tends to take away more from a movie than it does add to it. This is why I think subtitles work a helluva a lot better, as it allows viewers to see the movie as they were originally intended. Besides, a little reading during a film never hurt anyone.
Gosh,
Many movies have the ability to make me cry! Let's see here's what I came up with:
Cartoon:
Toy Story 3
Tarzan
Up
Lion King
to name a few.
Schindlers List
The Green Mile
Step Mom
The Freedom Writers
gosh, so many more.
Homeward Bound - when the old Golden Retriever makes it home
Lonesome Dove - when Gus and Clara meet again after many years
Gone with the Wind - when Bonnie is killed
Sophie's Choice - when she has to choose between her son and her daughter in the concentration camp
Steel Magnolias - when Shelby dies and her mom goes to pick up Jack, Jr.
Bambi - when Bambi's mom is killed
As I get older I find myself adding more to my list. I'm getting so emotional in my 30's, lol!
My Movies:
Big Fish -has always made me cry when the main character revisits everyone in his life one last time before seeing his girl in the river and becomes the big fish.
Toy Story 3 -I'm sure cre8ivOne and I cry at the same part, lol! It's when they Andy finally goes off to college and they show all the memories they shared together, Andy and the toys. What it makes me think about is that my children and I have been watching the Toy Story's since they were young. And it was almost like seeing my children grow up. My boys are 15 & 16 now and in just a few years they'll be going off on their own like Andy. [Eyes watering just thinking about it now, thanks!]
Yesterday, I cried when I saw, "Hello Again" with Shelly Long. I got so sad after she came back to life and when she saw her son again. Made me wish I could see my mom again and do something like that even if it wouldn't be forever, it would be nice.
I almost forgot one of my favorite movies, I haven't seen in quite some time, The House of Sand and Fog. The ending to that movie IS SO SAD! I start the waterworks as soon as the guys' son gets killed.
Another one I actually cry to is, The Wizard of Oz. I cry when Dorothy is singing,"Somewhere Over the Rainbow." I feel like that a lot of times.
There's so many I can't think of all of them. But there's the few that come to mind at the moment.
Return To Me - David Duchovny, Minnie Driver
Cooley High - Lawrence Hilton Jacobs (last 30 minutes of the film)
This Is It - Michael Jackson
Penny Serenade - Cary Grant
Hmm, good question. I'm a sentimental person, so I get misty eyed and have goosebumps during a lot of movies. So I'll just list the repeat offenders, movies that every time I see them, I cry:
Inception: at the end where Leo wakes up on the plane and is going to reunite with his children (or is he?).
The Notebook: old people being cute/or in pain is a big trigger for me.
Big Fish: same reason as above
Stella Dallas: Barbara Stanwyck tries so hard to be a good mother. Films about motherhood usually make me cry.
The scene in Dumbo where he visits his mother locked in the wagon always gives me a lump in my throat.
Also Up since my own wife died a few months before the movie came out. I also cryed watching Finding Nemo.
I often get choked up at happy endings, but the last movie that really made me sob was the beginning of Saving Private Ryan when the soldiers were waiting to land on the beach of Normandy. What a sad day in history!
I also cry at the end of Homeward Bound, the Incredible Journey- every time!!
My favorite of all time is Love Story. No matter how many times I see this movie, I cry every time.
The End of the movie "Revenge" - Kevin Costner, Madelaine Stowe.
Steel Magnolia's - the scene where Julia Roberts mum returned home after her death to pick her grandson. He ran into her arms with a bright smile not knowing he had lost his mum...
Control(The one with Sam Riley from 2007).
Jacob's Ladder.
The Lion King.
The Crow.
Twin Peaks:Fire Walk With Me.
Perfect Blue.
Schindler's List.
I have thought of a few more!
I just watched the movie Seven Pounds for the first time. Oh my goodness, The part where the girl goes to see Woody Harrelson's character just to look in his eyes...
Beaches, OMG.
The Notebook for sure is so sweet and what an incredible movie!
PS I Love You
cant believe it but the most recent episode of Sons of Anarchy had me crying for a couple of minutes. great performance delivered by Maggie Siff and Charlie Hunnam.
honestly no movie has ever made me cry though
I haven't read through all of these, so I may be repeating some. I don't usually get emotional in movies, but there have definitely been some. Ok, here goes...
1. The Pursuit of Happyness
2. The NeverEnding Story
3. Homeward Bound
4. Martian Child (still does)
There have probably been more, but I've sufficiently embarrassed myself for now
Any movie with even a tiny bit of emotional content makes me cry!
The Notebook
Hatchi (had a dog just as loyal and I still miss him)
PS I Love You
A Beautiful Life
Schindler's List
(just bring a box of kleenex when we go to the show Steven.... )
Marley and Me
I didn't cry but it is the closest I have come in a long time.
THE HELP!!!! I cried 5 times at least and I NEVER cry in movies. Well.....hardly ever.
I keep hearing how good this movie is, and I still haven't gotten around to seeing it. I love Emma Stone, so I'm sure I would love it.
Yes you would. She is phenomenal, as are all of the actresses and actors. I seriously hope they get an Oscar.
I couldn't help but cry at the end of Pan's Labyrinth, even though some people interpret it as a positive ending. What an amazing movie that is.
Terms of Endearment, when Shirley MacLaine slapped her grandson. You could see the poor thing's face curdle. He didn't deserve that. No child deserves to be hit and humiliated. It was like I was the one who got slapped, so I cried in the theater. I love crying at the movies as long as I have a supply of Kleenex.
Who will love my children. Forgot about this one, I think the woman in the story has 10? Kids and she is dying of cancer. She finds them all homes to go to after her death. Oldie, but very, very sad.
I must confess, just about every movie makes me cry, gee Hallmark commericals make me tear up. I live with a houseful of men, so I get made fun of a lot.
Too many to count! I cry in sad movies about kids and animals. The big tear jerker scene is usually at the end, so I have to leave the theater with tears running down. There's an oldie: The Yearling. If I saw it 50 times, I'd cry 50 times.
Toy Story 3 - reminded me of when my daughter left for college and the Air Force.
A Beautiful Life
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - the book made me cry more.
Gone With The Wind
Love Story
A Wonderful Life - the very end when everyone chips in money and they all
sing together.
West Side Story
I cry easily - my list goes on...
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and Attack Of The Clones. The Spirit. Jack Brooks Monster Slayer. Hellraiser 5-8. Jason x. Nightmare on Elm street 5 and 6. Crocodile Dundee 3. The Howling 2, 3 and 4.
And there are a few others that made me howl with tears and feel really crappy everytime I think about em.
Cool question: Steel Magnolias, All the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo films, (I gonna blush on this one) Tango, Practical Magic ( I have a twin sister, it makes sense to us) Abyss, Hellraiser 2, Ink and, Paul, I got teary eyed for that little alien.
I'm sure there's more. Oh, Trilogy of Terror, the one with Karen Black, it came out in 1975 so I must have seen a rerun. Seems like a cheesy B movie but, at 8, 9 years old, I didn't want to open a closet for years after seeing it.

A lot of them. Couldn't handle Rob Roy. I cried when Darth Vader died. I try to stay away from sappy movies.
Just about all of them. And what about those that make you scream? Went on first date with my new boyfriend (back years ago), went to see Rocky. I got so carried away I didn't just scream,, I jumped straight up and shouted out YEAH.
Second Chances, is a beautiful story.
Are you kidding? I cried when Yoda died.
Despite being in the industry and having become quite a critiquer of films, I can still turn into a blubbering mess watching them sometimes. Remember when Mufasa died and Simba crawled under his paw and closed his eyes? What about when Sulley sneaks into Boo's room at the very end of Monsters Inc. and we hear her exclaim, "Kitty!"? The wedding of Kris and Jessica Claus. The end of both Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan romcoms. The last scene in An Affair To Remember, Kate Hepburn's Little Women, It's A Wonderful Life. Several scenes in Dr. Zhivago.
When I was a kid I saw a very dark film titled Whistle Down the Wind. Dang if I can remember what it was about exactly, but I'll never forget sobbing for hours afterwards.
Well there is one movie that made me cry is Saving privet Ryan love that move. It's and old movie
My sister's keeper is the only film that ever made me cry in my whole life due to it's deeply touching plot and amazing performances delivered by its entire cast!
Well, I have gotten misty eyed on certain television commercials! I've cried during many movies such as Ghost, Color Purple, My Life (old movie with Michael Keaton starring as a man dealing with cancer), Slum Dog Millionaire, Terms of Endearment, Something's Got To Give. . . I can go on and on!
I must be showing my age. Nobody has mentioned the tear jerkers of all time, Imitation of Life and Madam X both with Lana Turner.
I have to throw in The Notebook for the more current tear jerkers.
Oh yes. Definitely, the three you mentioned. Total tearjerkers! Madam X is the one where they sent her to the electric chair at the end for a murder she did not commit, right?
Love story
A wonderful life
Notebook
Elephant man
