Name a movie that gets you all weepy no matter how many times you've seen it.

[WilliamPitt]

[mcctatas]

1. The Lion in Winter...

gets me every time :cry:

[sarge43]

123. "We're jungle creatures, Henry, and the dark is all around us.

See them? In the corners, you can see the eyes."

"And they can see ours. I'm a match for anything. Aren't you?"

"I should have been a great fool not to love you."

[enigmatic]

2. Magnolia

The Jason Robards "Regret" speech, followed by Aimee Mann's "Wise Up" scene.

I just saw Hoosiers again the other night; Jimmy Chitwood is such a great character..

[Parche]

3. Shaving Ryans Privates X-Rated Version

When they shave his groin area at the end.........:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

He gets a little teste and goes nuts in the final scene.................

[mcctatas]

4. or do the nuts go in the final scene?

:hide:

[liberalhistorian]

92. OMG, there's actually a porn

movie called Shaving Ryan's Privates? ROFLMAOLOLOLOL!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. "Dad, wanna have a catch?"

Yeah, that does it for me. Even though my dad is very much alive and we've never had a strained relationship.

[InternalDialogue]

6. Searching for Bobby Fischer

I love when I see kids with more wisdom than most adults.

[Critters2]

7. Pretty much any dog movie..."Where the Red Fern Grows", "Sounder", "Ol' Yeller", that sort of thing

When a dog dies on screen, I cry like a baby. :cry:

[Withywindle]

103. Turner & Hooch!

My parents are Bull Mastiff people. :cry:

[Symarip]

8. Goodfellas

Why did they have to do in Pesci like that?

[DS1]

14. You're thinking of Casino maybe?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1skaCKoWJA

I don't remember the Pesci death in Goodfellas

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. He got whacked for killing Billy Batts.

Batts was a made guy. Remember De Niro slamming the payphone when he heard?

[pokerfan]

18. His death in Casino was more brutal

beaten with a baseball bat and buried alive.

Which was true, BTW. When the bodies of Tony Spilotro and his brother were found the autopsies found sand in their lungs.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. It was the flipside of Goodfellas.

Instead of him burying a dead Billy Batts, Billy (Frank Vincent, really) buries him alive in Casino.

[Blue_Tires]

22. Pesci also beat the hell out of Frank Vincent in 'Raging Bull'

so Joey had it coming in spades, lol

[Starbucks Anarchist]

33. Damn, how'd I forget that one?

That beating was epic. :rofl:

[bettyellen]

126. you know they used to have a caberet act together called tom + jerry... jazz + jokes

i guess in the mid- late 70s. i met frank just after he filmed that Goodfellas scene lying on the floor getting kicked.

[Withywindle]

102. Truefax

My ex (?)-SO used to babysit for a branch of the Spilotro family. The sister was MOH at his sister's wedding. They showed him the gun cabinet.

[pokerfan]

17. It was just just after they told him that he had been "made"

[Symarip]

30. Dude

They said he was going to get made, and then took him upstairs had shot him in the head.

[DS1]

32. That's how I'd choose to go out

rather than Casino. It was quick.

[Parche]

9. A Few Good Men Dentist Version

Where Matcom is on the stand and yells out to the defense attorney William Pitt
"You Cant Handle The Tooth"

[LanternWaste]

10. Every frikkin' time!

Watership Down. Last scene.

Every. Frikkin'. Time!

[NewJeffCT]

11. Fahrenheit 9/11

i cry for America

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. The Shawshank Redemption...

Hoosiers...

Apollo 13...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

81. Seconded on Shawshank.

The scene where Red finally meets up with Andy on the beach is probably the most satisfying ending to a movie ever.

Apollo 13 is another great one. You know how it's going to end, but you can't help but cheer and tear up a bit when you see the parachuting capsule reappear on the screen.

[Fox Mulder]

13. There isn't a movie out there that gets me all weepy.

I don't get involved with movies emotionally. I just watch it for the sake of watching it. :shrug:

Oh, maybe softcore porn movies make me all weepy because I can't see any of the good stuff (you all know what I mean). x(

[pokerfan]

15. October Sky (1999)

The true story of Homer Hickam, a coal miner's son who was inspired by the first Sputnik launch to take up rocketry against his father's wishes.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. How could I have forgotten that one?

A wonderful movie!

And all the better because it was true...

Really excellent!

And I sure did cry at the end...

You'd have to have a heart of stone not to...

[Mrs. Venation]

28. Many Scenes in October Sky

were filmed in East Tennessee. I know some people who were hired as extras in the film. The coal mine where I worked is in the mountains shown in October Sky.

[pokerfan]

36. Petros?

That's pretty cool.

My two favorite lines from the film:

Quentin: They watched us get arrested. We're practically ex-convicts. They'll never dance with us.
O'Dell: Jesus, Quentin, you don't know anything about women.

Roy Lee: I'll tell you what's unbelievable: The captain of the football team being jealous of you.

[Mrs. Venation]

86. Petros

is one of the areas where the film was shot. The mine where I worked was up on Windrock mountain. I think there are a bunch of wind turbines up there now.

Petros is also where the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary is located. James Earl Ray was locked up there for several years, and he escaped with a few other men. That was way back in the 70s. I think they moved him to the prison in Nashville shortly after they found him.

It's pretty rugged country around there, but those of us who are locals were :rofl: at the news media describing the "rattlesnake infested mountains" there. I think I've seen a total of 2 rattlesnakes in those mountains. I've seen many copperheads, though.

I grew up in Clinton, TN. The town mayor was one of the extras in the film.

[reyd reid reed]

74. Every single time.

I love that movie.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. The Bicycle Thief.

Which I highly recommend for anybody who hasn't seen it. It's a very universal film.

[NYCGirl]

23. Oh, my, yes. That one just destroys me. NT

[Starbucks Anarchist]

34. Good choice on La Strada downthread.

I've been on a Fellini binge lately, and that one was unusually depressing compared to Cabiria, 8 1/2, etc.

[LaurenG]

24. Powder - that one does it for me.

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=&imgrefurl=http://www.hollywood-north.net/hwsleet.htm&h=523&w=750&sz=115&hl=en&start=18&um=1&usg=__IwqW4beNdCz4ws9GsKEhM6Uuifs=&tbnid=u0SeXPXsyiIb1M:&tbnh=98&tbnw=141&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpowder%2Bmovie%2B1995%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN

[Blue_Tires]

25. the end of Cinema Paradiso

[ogneopasno]

42. Yes! With all the kisses? Totally.

nt

[mokawanis]

26. Goodwill Hunting and We Are Marshall

The scene where Robin Williams is telling Matt Damon "it's not your fault".
The scene where the coach makes a speech to the team before the game and then at the end of the game itself.

[NYCGirl]

27. La Strada

[redwitch]

29. It's a Wonderful Life.

I cry at the opening credits.

[Mrs. Venation]

31. The Color Purple

Gets me every time.

[MissMillie]

82. yeah, me too (spoiler alert)

especially when Shug's dad finally embraces her.

[Mad_Dem_X]

99. I also cry when (SPOILER)

Mister separates Celie and Nettie. I bawl like a baby, every single time.

[racaulk]

133. The scene where I always cry is... (SPOILERS)

the final scene when Celie is reunited with her sister and children. You see that Shug realizes that the reunion was possible due to Mister's efforts, and Celie and Nettie play that game with their hands like the did as children as the movie fades to black. That scene chokes me up every time!

[easttexaslefty]

35. Fried Green Tomatoes n/t

[Skittles]

56. ooh

good one

[applegrove]

80. I just finished reading the book.

[ogneopasno]

37. The Great Escape

When Colin asks if they're almost there as they're being pursued. I WEEP!

[pokerfan]

48. "Colin's not a blind man as long as he's with me."

Hendley (James Garner): "Colin's not a blind man as long as he's with me. And he's going with me!"

Some trivia regarding Donald Pleasence (Colin): When he offered some advice to the director, John Sturges (not knowing that Pleasence had actually been a POW in a Stalag), told him to "keep his opinions to himself."

[realisticphish]

38. Gettysburg

when Armistead is talking about fighting against Hancock and getting choked up.

[TommyO]

39. Steel Magnolias

[Arkham House]

40. The Paths of Glory

[mopinko]

41. et

[Ava]

43. Fox and the Hound

no, i'm not joking!

[Efilroft Sul]

44. The Onion Field

[Scarlett17]

45. Untamed Heart

Sappy romantic comedy, but I can't help it.

:cry:

[Zavulon]

46. I actually lost a girlfriend years ago due th this very same question.

I couldn't name one, she started grilling me, I still couldn't name one, she started irritating me, and eventually I dumped her after getting tired of hearing her lectures on character and sensitivity.

Never, EVER date a psych major.

[pokerfan]

51. Me too

I just don't cry at sad movies. I will, however get weepy at happy/inspirational movies: Field of Dreams, Apollo 13, Rudy, October Sky, etc.

I didn't shed a tear during the Great Escape, also listed in this thread. I mostly feel rage when the SS executes the fifty (one of the Nuremberg war crimes, BTW). I wished that they could have killed every German in that camp.

Richard Attenborough's character summed it up for me: "Look, sir. You talk about the high command of the Luftwaffe, then the SS and the Gestapo. To me they're the same. We're fighting the bloody lot. There's only one way to put it, sir. They're the common enemies of
everyone who believes in freedom."

[Forkboy]

47. The American Godzilla.

All Godzilla fans left the theater crying.

83. EVERY TIME!!!!!

I love that movie!

[sarge43]

54. Fly Away Home

I lose it every time when those geese make it to their safe haven and begin the life they were meant to have.

[Flaxbee]

55. Seabiscuit, Love Actually, Pride and Prejudice (A&E), Sense & Sensitivity,

Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, any animal movie - I just won't watch them anymore.

Sweet jesus, Seabiscuit makes me cry -- the images of the Depression just ruin me.

[bigwillq]

57. Brokeback Mountain

:cry:

[JCMach1]

78. That one too... deservedly...

[ticked]

91. That one was good

Beaches gets me ever time
and
Pay it Forward :cry:

[Mad_Dem_X]

100. Ohh, YES

When Ennis finds the shirts, I am done for.

[zingaro]

119. Every time. I start somewhere during the scene

at Jack's parents' house and don't stop until the credits are long over.

[cboy4]

132. That movie haunts me.

:cry:

[racaulk]

134. Yep!

That movie gets to me too. :cry:

[sentelle]

58. Wings of Desire

Not the crappy american remake (with Nicholas Cage), but the Wim Wenders one, with Gabriel Byrne.

[Withywindle]

105. Oh God yes.

Never seen the remake - no desire to.

[jus_the_facts]

59. "We're gonna need a bigger boat!"

;-)

[begin_within]

60. Born Free

[applegrove]

61. Missing, My Brilliant Career, Terms of Endearment

[AllieB]

89. Yup-me too.

Especially Terms of Endearment.

[PassingFair]

62. The 1951 Alastair Sim version of "A Christmas Carol"

Makes me cry EVERY year.

Also, "Terms of Endearment"....I try NOT to watch it.

[cedahlia]

67. Absolutely

Best version of A Christmas Carol. Ever! O8)

[lost-in-nj]

96. Watching this on Christmas Eve

is a tradition in my house..
I have even watched it alone....

and yes I cry every time!!


lost

[BlueStateGirl]

63. Steel Magnolias, Stepmom, Frequency.

[Tektonik]

64. Philadelphia

[FedUpWithIt All]

65. Schindler's List.

Embarrassingly i also cry a lot at children's cartoons.

[OmahaBlueDog]

69. That's movie #2 I bawl at

(my eyes are welling as I write this) when they give Liam Neeson (Schindler) the ring, and he says "I should have sold the car"

I also find my eyes welling up at many animated flicks, and then I get angry, because (more than with, for example, Schindler's List) I really feel like I've been tricked. The beginning of Finding Nemo (when all but one of the eggs and his wife are killed in the barracuda attack) is a prime example.

[FedUpWithIt All]

70. For some reason the beginning of Tarzan is the worst for me. I literally sob.

:eyes:

[cedahlia]

66. Glory

Oh my, the first time I saw that...:cry: Such profound sadness. Gets me every time, too.

I'm very sensitive so I cry at many movies. Some others:

The Secret of Nimh (that one really opens the floodgates!)
The Fox and the Hound (damn Disney movies!)
Steel Magnolias (of course)
Titanic (more floodgates)
Fried Green Tomatoes
Donnie Darko
Charlotte's Web (the original animated version)
The Outsiders
A Christmas Carol (Alistair Sims version...exquisite!)

Now I want to have a good cry. :-)

[OmahaBlueDog]

68. Avalon

The end of the movie, when the grandson and his son walk out of the hospital where the grandfather is dying. The litle boy asks why his grandfather talks with an accent, and the grandson starts telling the story of how his grandfather came to America. I friggin lose it when I see this scene -- I don't just tear up and get a lump in my throat- I bawl.

1) I grew up around Baltimore, so I relate very strongly to the family in the story
2) The movie came out about the time my grandfather died

[Beaverhausen]

71. Out of Africa, Wizard of Oz, Sound of Music, Goodbye Girl

and everything else that has already been mentioned.

[Va Lefty]

72. The way Rocky ends (the first one)

gets me every time

[Tumbulu]

73. Babe and The Black Stallion

animal movies do it to me.

[reyd reid reed]

75. Imitation of Life.

I get the box of tissues before I even turn it on, 'cause I know what's coming.

[Broken_Hero]

76. I am Sam, nt

[MissMillie]

84. yep, that one too

love it!

[JCMach1]

77. Freaking AI... there is enough of a good Kubrick

film still there... i.e. the parts Spielberg didn't smash with a hammer...

[masmdu]

109. yes

[KT2000]

79. Remember the Titans and

Out of Africa
October Sky

[AngryAmish]

85. Disorderlies

[unsavedtrash]

87. Love Story and The Way We Were

every time.

[blueraven95]

88. most recent one to consistantly make me cry is "Across the Universe"

during "Let it Be". I can be in another room and just hearing that version of the song is enough to make me tear up.

[AllieB]

90. Au Revoir Les Enfants, Sophie's Choice, Terms of Endearment

Also, Missing, La Strada, and The Lives of Others tear me up too.

[GCP]

93. The end of 'Love Actually' at Heathrow

Where all those people are so happy to see one another. Gets me every time.

[Stardust]

101. I second that emotion! "Love Actually" is my fave weepie.

:cry:

That little boy, Liam Neeson's son, just breaks my heart. :loveya:

I read a really snarky review of this film, really going off on the kid. Must've been a Repuke. :spank:

[GCP]

113. Did you ever see the deleted scenes on the DVD?

Hilarious stuff about the Queen farting blue bubbles!

[Stardust]

117. I bought my copy from Blockbuster and don't even know if it has deleted scenes. I'll

check it out, thanks!

[nytemare]

94. "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Joy Luck Club"

[hotforteacher]

95. Life Is Beautiful [nt]

[southerncrone]

97. On Golden Pond

[WinkyDink]

98. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

[Starry Messenger]

104. Billy Elliott

The ending kills me every. fucking. time.

MPK

[FloridaJudy]

106. E.T.

I always cry when he dies, and when he comes back to life, even though I've seen the flick at least a dozen times.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

107. The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam (a true story)

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Randle Patrick McMurphy....wooboy. And the Chief escapes triumphantly.

Titanic.

Free advice: The Keeper:The Legend of Omar Khayyam is absolutely one of the best movies I've ever seen. Made in 2005 by a Persian descendant of the great mathematician and poet.

Hilary and Jackie. I saw the real Jacqueline du Pre perform during her brief career, circa 1968, and the loss of such a great talent is portrayed wonderfully by Emily Watson.

[Hudgie DeRobertis]

108. The Elephant Man.

The two scenes that get to me are when the Dr. played by Anthony Hopkins finally gets
the Elephant Man to communicate and you realize that he has intelligence and when
Anthony Hopkins takes him to meet his wife. Knowing that this is based on a true
story I just can't comprehend what this person must of gone through.

[stuntcat]

110. any movies about animals

Long as an animal is in it I'll probably cry, the happy-cry or the sad-cry.. A few weeks ago I watched Watership Down for the first time in about 20 years and I cried my eyes out :cry:

[JonLP24]

111. Men of Honor and Antwone Fisher get me every time

There are others I can't think of right now. I cried in some movies I'm ashamed to admit, I cried in My Girl even.

[My Good Babushka]

112. Leolo nt.

[terrya]

114. "Longtime Companion"

It's a movie about friends and loss. A very, very emotional movie.

[LibraLiz1973]

115. JFK. I tear up really strongly at the end EVERY single time I see it.

[JanMichael]

116. Reds and V for Vendetta.

I know...

[City of Mills]

118. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Charlie Bucket had an unbelievably rough life, and all he wanted was to get into Mr. Wonka's chocolate factory so bad. You just know the chances of that were so astronomically low and after the 5th ticket is found, I always get somewhat misty and upset. The most transforming part of the movie is when you find out the 5th ticket was a fraud, and then charlie pulls out the wonka bar he bought earlier (with sewer change for chrissake!), unwraps it, and BAM! HE'S GOT THE GOLDEN TICKET!!! FUCK YEAH!!! That's the part where I cheer up and crank the TV, jumping up and down and sometimes even running down the corridor of my apartment complex. NEVER GIVE UP, CHARLIE! :bounce:

[DearAbby]

120. Ghost....

When that penny is sliding up the door...I am sobbing like a little baby.


Edit...Sobbing isnt quite the right word for it...Blubbering, down right boo-hoo'ing....not like titanic with sniffles.

[blue neen]

121. "Cold Mountain"

I read the book before seeing the movie version, and I even cried at the end of the book. Heartwrenching.

[Frank Cannon]

122. The Green Mile

John Coffee's last speech destroys me.

[Runcible Spoon]

124. The Neverending Story

"ARTEX! NO!!!!!!!!!!! You're my friend, I love you!" :cry:

[Burma Jones]

125. Babe.........

It starts with: "This is a tale about an unprejudiced heart, and how it changed our valley forever".........

and goes right through to:

Narrator: And though every single human in the stands or in the commentary boxes was at a complete loss for words, the man who in his life had uttered fewer words than any of them knew exactly what to say.

Farmer Hoggett: That'll do, pig. That'll do.


I still like bacon though

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

127. One I'm staying the hell away from: "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas."

I wisely decided do explore for spoilers. They managed to top the downness of all previous Holocaust movie downer endings. I shit you not.

[cynatnite]

128. Imitation of Life with Lana Turner...

never fails. I cry like a girl at the end every single time I watch it.

[MountainLaurel]

129. "And the Band Played On"

That ending, with Elton John in the background.

"Dumbo," when the mama sings "Baby Mine"

And goddess help me, "Titanic"

[regnaD kciN]

130. A World Apart

That moment at the closing funeral, when the girl joins with her mother...well, if you've seen it, you know what I mean. Human drama and the politics of liberation make a potent combination...

[mockmonkey]

131. Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

The Ending:
