Movies that make grown men cry...

HavingCrack

Oh, forgot to include this one. The ending of Blackadder Goes Forth is easily the most emotional and moving scene I have ever seen either on television or on film.

Ken.

the end of babe when he wins gets me every time i see it for some reason i cannot explain.

Watched My Sisters Keeper with the wife over Christmas and I've no problem admitting that I cried like a baby during it, saddest film I've ever endured

Anyone who doesn't cry during this film is not human :P

northernpower

"Ned Kelly" end scene had me welling up

"Terminator 2" with the thumb and everything no matter how many times i see it

and "in bruges" the raglan road scene, brendan gleeson was amzing throughout and the song added to an already poignant moment

foxyboxer

The opening scenes in Saving Private Ryan.

The visit to the graveyard, the cut to Omaha Beach....damn you Senor Spielbergo!

I love a good tearjerker! Its the only time men can get away with having a cry!

I found 'The Road' very sad .. probably more so because I had read the book just before seeing it which was even sadder.

The Wrestler - You could see the ending coming but it was still very emotional

Rocky Balboa -- When he speaks to his kid on the street and also at the end .. I think very sad because I was saying goodbye to a series of movies that spanned the full lenght of my life ... I felt kinda old lol!

Everything's fine - This was a brilliant movie .. really makes you think about your relationship with your parents and your father in particular

A Very Long Engagement - A french film with the beautiful Audrey Tatou .. excellent movie and very sad in places.

For some reason the end of City of Angles with Nic Cage gets me! Very cheesy movie but the end is evil!

The Fountain... Amazing movie but it really divides audiences. If you buy into the story it really tugs on the heart strings.

Also as others have mentioned ... Shawshank, The Green Mile, Million Dollar Baby, Meet Joe Black

How sad are you?
Still we see now the life outside posting on forums you have

Me too. Glad I'm not the only one. It's mad to think something that Arnold Schwarzenegger did could stir up emotion in me. Ditto for Dragonheart and Gladiator. Philadelphia though is one that really does it for me. Incredibly heartbreaking ending.

The only thing that ever really came close was when I was about 8 or 9 years old and I was watching "Animal Farm" (the George Orwell one, not the other one ). It was an animated movie, but the part where Boxer, the big Clydsdale gets injured working to rebuild the windmill and then is eventually sent to the knackers yard nearly had me going.

Whole thing is here, but the bit is from about 59mins in to about 1hr04

Big Fish always gets me. Cinema Paradiso too.

krudler

Cinderella Man, but thats more the uplifting type of tears, love the scene where Crowe and Giamatti walk into Madison Square Garden to complete silence from the crowd until one guy yells "you can do it Jimmy!" and they all erupt in applause, if you've never seen it do, great movie, dont let the presence of Renee Zelwegger put you off :pac:

b.o.m.d.a.s.

La vita e bella - "Life is beautiful" by Roberto Benigni. :(

abbiamo vinto "we won"

EDIT: watch in Italian with English subtitles, or else you won't cry!

There are many movies that will make me cry and most of them have been mentioned already. Infact i'm such a woss i've been known to shed a tear or two at a particularly harrowing episode ofEastenders/Corrie/Neighbours.
But one that made me cry with tears of laughter recently was ET.

They just don't make them like that anymore. I was watching it at xmas with my 5yr old girl and at the beginning Ethan says to his brother ' Shut up penis breath'

I mean how am i supposed to explain to my daughter what a penis breath is when she is looking at me all sweetness and light in her jimmie jams and asking me 'Daddy whats a penis breath'?

Well honey it's when you put a....... No no no it's just wrong.

God.. for me there's movies that make you well up and movies that make you full on cry.

Movies that made me well-up have been:
Up -

The opening 10 minutes and halfway through where Carl scans through the Adventure book.

I saw it in New York and there were sniffles galore.
Wall-E - So so so many moments

The opening 45 minutes, particularly when Wall-E was looking after Eve and then the ending, when Eve was trying to fix Wall-E. It was perfect. No words, just blirps and beeps and LED lights.. so much emotion. God, I'm welling up now even thinking about it. When the words, "and that is all love's about" are heard.. I had shivers

Ink - I was quite surprised by how much emotion I felt through this movie. Really unexpected.

Movies that made me full on cry have been:
I Am Sam - God, I was a blubbering mess during this. Sean Penn was a wonderful actor in it.

I didn't cry during Marley and Me - I'm not sure why. If I'm honest, I laughed a bit during it. I guess it's because it just seemed so.. forced. And no, I'm not heartless - I had a dog that died when he was 14 that I still miss loads, but I just didn't find Marley & Me that sad.

Fad

Scene in Good Will Hunting where Matt Damon/Will breaks down.

Nolanger

Superfly - about ½ an hour in and the screen breaks into different movie scenes at the same time with Curtis Mayfield singing on the soundtrack.

Bhoy_

OK, this isn't strictly a movie, but I did shed a tear when I completed Metal Gear Solid 4. The story is ridiculous and a lot of it doesn't make sense, but I do get a chill down my back when I remember playing the first game when I was quite young and following the series throughout my teens.

Kerikosan

+1 Marley & me - possibly the most difficult thing to watch without crying.

Any film where a dog dies or gets hurt- EVIL

+1 Up- the start and adventure book

If you've ever watched the Wire, what happens to one of the characters at the end is the saddest thing I've ever seen.

Spoiler tags and reveal, I'm curious

Magic Eight Ball

Had a lump in my throat watching the end of 'Brokeback Mountain' alright.

In the Name of the Father -

when Giuseppi dies and the ending

As for TV, just the ending of Spaced when you start to hear The Staunton Lick.

WALL-E: How has this not been mentioned more? The most beautiful love stories are always the simplest and you won't get finer than Wall-E's simple gestures of love. Ach, and the end...

Personally I found the end spoiled somewhat by

the fact that Wall-e magically recovered his memory. The film should go either one way or the other; stick to its guns for an elegiac conclusion or a plain happy one! Just my opinion

Gladiator ending - particularly if you think that Maximus' vision of the

the afterlife

was just his imagination playing tricks on him.

300's last line of Leonidas

My queen! My wife: my love

is also pretty decent.

Frogeye

How about Remember the Titans?

Leon? The ending is very sad.

petebricquette

Not a film really (well, mini-series) but good god the end of Band of Brothers always always gets me. Just when all the old soldiers are talking about their fallen comrades and their experiences during WWII. Devastating.

FunkDrummer

The Third Transformers film (when I heard Megan Fox isn't in it)

To be honest, I didn't even see a robot in the first two films, all I remember is Megan Fox on a motorbike, then a large portion of missing memory, followed by Megan Fox fixing a car. surely worthy of an Oscar?!?!

Major +1 for this.

I think it's the pause,before the crowd go mad,that seals it.

hullo. My first foray into this thread, i have a kleenex i'm good to go. May i say what a brilliant excellent shout , Kramer vs Kramer. What gets me is, u no the way dustin hoffman makes an @rse of making breakfast the first time, wrecks EVERYTHING, and while ur watching their last moment together it just slips in there that the breakfast happens to be absolutely perfect. Traumatisingly brilliant scene.

toddunctious

Homeward Bound

bergkamp10

gah, can't believe i didn't think of it before..... BAMBI !! Seriously. To put that scene in a kids film, to teach them about loss, etc, is harrowing enough, ye all no it, the part where his ma is shot and his da the king of the forest appears to this frightened little chap calling for his mom and says "ur mommy can't be with you ANYMORE"

Field of Dreams was on yesterday.

If you build it, He will come.
