What movie makes you cry?

corblimey

Just like the man says, what's the last movie that got you just so. For those of us who are manly men, I'm including that lump in the throat and the feeling that maybe you're "coming down with something".

For me, it's the last 5 mins of saving Private Ryan.

From Hanks dying to the very end

(apart from the glamour shot of the US flag), I'm all about the "mustn't cry" face...

Pugsley

The Last Samurai, and Braveheart. Possably 2 of the most emoth envoking films Ive ever seen. Last Samurai gets me every time more or less, the whole last few minutes are just flawless, and for braveheart, the whole execution scene just brings a tear to my eye too, superb directing and acting in both films imo.

I must be a tough man because two of the movies quoted above - "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Last Samurai" - have me yawning at their mawkwish sentimentality. "The Last Samurai" I found particularly ineffective.

But wahhhh @ 'In America' and plenty of scenes such as the fair or, indeed, the very end...

Nick Furey: Agent of Shield

Retr0gamer

E.T. gets me everytime as does the end of stand by me. Real choking back tears films.

And of course the end of Terminator 2 when arnie gives the thumbs up. *weep*

Chad ghostal

Naturally since im a solid stone of machismo id never cry..
but if i did,it would for "e.t." and "one flew over the cuckoos nest"..
for obvious reaons..

Oh and DONT FORGET TO USE SPOILER TAGS!!!! ..
cant stress that enough people.

Hugh Hefner

The Shawshank Redemption - Round about the, "wings are too bright," line.

Amelie - When she walks the blind man (I don't know why).

American Beauty - The last minute or two.

gandalf

For some reason the only one that gets me in anyway is Field of Dreams. I think people know the scene

DapperGent

I think the only film I've ever cried during is Cinema Paradiso.

jonnybadd

As i kid i got very emotional over...Popeye(dont know why i just wrote that)

But shawshank, stand by me, and the end of lost in translation for some reason

Scariest film ever.

Sleepy

OK, now this one will get one hell of a laugh, but you know the big presidential speech in Independance Day "We will not go quietly into the night, we will not give up without a fight... etc.", well that gets me welled up every time!

In terms of something that'll actually make me full on cry I can only think of one thing: "We Stand Alone Together: The Men of Easy Company", it's a featurette included in the box-set of Band of Brothers that features all the surviving members of the company talking about what they went through. To watch these unbelievable characters who went to hell when they were younger than me, who literally held their friends in their arms when they died, who suffered the winter of Bastogne and realise how ungrateful the world around them is, well, that gets me crying and I'm not ashamed of that one.

Yeah I know what you mean. Love BoB, great box set. Nearly cry at the opening titles ffs !!!!!

Miguel_Sanchez

The end of Fearless brings a tear to the eye I must admit.

Fudger

When i heard there was another lord of the rings out i cried like a little baby. Then when i heard another one was coming out i went into depression (which i spent alot of the time crying).

I think i felt all teary eyed at the end of Green Mile too.

Raoul Duke

I used to be one of those stone cold-hearted men. Would only cry if my beer was spilt. But the past few years I've changed. I first noticed it watching E.T., then it became a lot more noticeable during All About My Mother. As for the most recent, I'm sure I've let a tear go since but the last few seconds of Pieces of April had me blubbing like a baby.

eggshapedfred

Its a wonderful life - every christmas. Damn you Mr. Potter!

Oh jesus yes, absolutely amazing movie that always gets the auld tear ducts releasing.

Another film is the ironically titled Boys Don't Cry.
Ironic because I was getting quite weepy.
Brutal film, literaly.

Dancer In The Dark is another bleak film.
As is The Plague Dogs, which is from the same people who made Watership Down.

God I loved the Plague Dogs when I was younger. Must try and hunt down a copy.

Renegade_Archer

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, when Spock dies at the end. Everytime I see it. Also get teary eyed at the end of most Rocky films.

I think you can actually pick it up for nothing in Dunnes, or the like.
Be warned, it's a heavily edited version (Which I didn't know when I was buying it) but its the only DVD version there is.
