Ok tough guys.. what movie(s) has/have made you cry?

[Sooga]

Ok I know with all the machismo and testosterone floating around in here it might be hard to reply to this post. But I'm sure some of you guys have cried during a particularly emotional movie. I've welled up on numerous occasions, but the only movie that really made tears come down my face was 'Dead Man Walking'.

[JinX11]

The only movie that I can remember getting a *little* misty-eyed was Apollo 13, oddly enough.

My vag is big, I know.

[Zoltri]

Rudy.
The kid that went to Notre Dame.
The final scene when the coach finally put him in chokes me up.

[Sooga]

Definitely, that was one of my 'well up' movies... I think the movies that get to me the most are stories about people who overcome huge obstacles and never give up and finally accomplish what they'd worked so hard for.

I hate to hop on the Rudy bandwagon, but I agree.

Also, when I was a kid I cried when the scorpion killed the ant in Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

[kyro]

a lot of movies make me cry. i'm an emotional person. probably the reason why i throw a fit whenever i get outdrawn. poker is bad for me.

[Duke]

Oh Jesus. A lot?

LOTR at various times, Gattaca, ET, Goonies, Big Fish, Dead Poet's Society, Scent of a Woman, Shawshank, The Green Mile, the first time I saw The Killer, Wizard of Oz, Schindler's List (can't finish the movie - ever)...

A lot more... I'm a little bitch, apparently.

EDIT: yeah, forgot Rudy.

[TimTimSalabim]

"Apollo 13"? Way too predictable for me. I could see that ending coming a mile away. That and "JFK".

[augie00]

I'm a pretty emotional guy, but I rarely cry at movies. The only movie that I've cried at in the theater was Ladder 49. But the entire theater was crying, I couldn't help myself.

[IndieMatty]

The end of Planes Trains and Automobiles is gutwrenching, and it isnt even close.

[4thstreetpete]

I cried like a baby watching Dumb and Dumber. Best movie ever!

When? When the girl hit the wrong bone key so the floor started to collapse? I love that movie but even as a really young kid I cant remember ever being on the verge of tears with that one.

The prison scence where the band is playing while Tuco gets his beating. And then the part where The Good gives that dying soldier a drag of his cigar.

[balkii]

The Mighty Ducks

[lu_hawk]

I can barely even remember the movie, but when I was probably 3 or 4 years old there was a made for TV star wars movie that was about the ewoks. At the end of the movie one of the Ewoks was killed and I was devestated.

[Sundevils21]

Hmm, I know I have a couple times. Can't seem to put my finger on which movies though

A Time to Kill- when he says "Now imagine she was white" got to me a little
In Passion of Christ I got a little emotional.

I am a big fan of movies and can't belive that I don't remember any other times. I'm sure there are others though.

You do know it's a true story right? Anybody who cried because they thought, "oh no... are they going to die?" is an idiot. I still get welled up BECAUSE it is a true story and I know they really came that close but still pulled through.

The Corey Feldman speech about wishes, dreams, and taking back all of them. In the well? The Sam Gamgee "it's our time down here" speech is pretty good too.

[CrazyEyez]

Shawshank Redemption.

[Benal]

The only one I can recall is ET when I was like 7 years old.

[thatpfunk]

A River Runs Through It... something about brothers did it to me I guess

[-Syk-]

Kazaam.

[nolanfan34]

It's not a movie, but Extreme Makeover: Home Edition gets to me.

[krazyace5]

When I was a kid, ET and Old Yeller.

[TimTimSalabim]

Yes, of course. That's why I threw in the "JFK" reference as well. Alas, I realize humor doesn't always carry well online.

Also, I was spoofing the fact that people downgrade movies on here a lot because they're "predictable". I agree with you, you can know what's going to happen and be totally moved by it anyway.

[mikeyvegas]

Field of Dreams

[thirddan]

the end of schindlers list when the survivors are in the cemetery...thats the only film i've ever cried at...

[DemonDeac Holding Rockets]

Rudy when the janitor does those hard claps at the end

not a cry but more like a tear

The ones that get me are the ones where people try and try and try, and they think they're just about to get what they want more than anything else... and they get nothing.

Wait, that's real life.

[TylerD]

The end of Saving Private Ryan had me pretty emotional.

[Chris Daddy Cool]

not cried but my eyes watered up

braveheart
lord of the rings
schindler's list
passion of the christ
grave of the fireflies

[eric5148]

I can't ever remember crying at a movie. The only time I remember crying in front of the TV was watching the PGA Tour Q school. On the last hole a guy needed to make a 3-footer to get his tour card. Somehow the greenskeeper installed the cup at a very slight angle and it caused his putt, which was going straight in, to pop out of the hole. He didn't make it to the tour because of that. I frickin cried for that guy.

Great comment - "based on a true story" movies or those you can closely identify with are often the most impactful, and my favorites.
Close to tears/very emotional after watching:

"Blow" (especially the scene where George is tape-recording the message for his father)

"Stand by Me": "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"

For happy endings, "The Shawshank Redemption" as others have mentioned.

The last two are based on stories by Stephen King.

And seeing Goose die in Top Gun always gets to me. Love that movie. (Need an Ice Man appearance here!)

"bicycle thief" and "a woman under the influence". that's it i think.

bicycle theif? oh c'mon man!

that was a sad movie and all, but I could not see anyone crying in that movie.

what part? the end? it was hardly gut wrenching or incredibly sad, it was justice.

[WDC]

I teared up a little when they did the house for the deaf parents with the death and autistic kid. That whole family was just to cool.

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

I nearly cried at braveheart.

The thing that got me with this ending is that it wasn't really happy. It was kind of happy with extremely sad undertones.

Ohhh, I don't know. In this case I'd say the medium was not the problem.

[elwoodblues]

Whale Rider. If you haven't seen it, you should. The scene where she gives the speech at school should make any human being on the planet well up.

[TheRake]

Forrest Gump

When Jenny died I cried like a baby. Well not really, but I did get misty eyed. Still do whenever I watch it.

TheRake

[Toro]

Circa 1957. I was 8 and my brother was 7 and our Dad took us to a movie in a real theater which was a treat because he had never brought us before. The movie was Old Yeller and I can remember me and my brother in the car crying all the way home and asking our Dad, "but Dad why did the dog have to die". We were so devastated

[Porcupine]

It mist up sometimes during a couple scenes in Good Will Hunting. Nice contrast to other scenes where I'm laughing may ass off.

When he asked if his kid was slow like him kinda put a lil lump in the ole throat.

When ole girl walks through the crowd at the end of braveheart gave me goosebumps and a little misty.

When Shane wasn't coming back.

The old man in the graveyard at the end of Saving Private Ryan.

When they get rid of Old Yeller.

A real tear-jerker from back when I was a kid: Where the Red Fern Grows. Holy [censored], I hated that book/movie. Where's the justice man?

the scene in saving private ryan where they tell the parents their 3 sons are dead had me on the verge of tears.

[lucas9000]

the part in rounders when mike passes up sex with petra.

[lucas9000]

ok seriously... 25th hour. ed norton's "f*ck you" speech, and also the last encounter between norton, pepper, and psh (i won't ruin it for people who haven't seen it...those who have seen it know what i'm talking about). if you haven't seen 25th hour, you must.

disclaimer: having a connection to ny is part of the impact though.

WOW! Good Call! great movie!

Ok here i go,

1) Man on fire.--- When washingon gives his own life for the life of the little girl.

2) John Q.--- Again D. Washington willing to cut his own heart out to give to his sonn for a transplant.

3) E.T.--- I was 8yrs old I lost it when he almost died LOL

4) A Knights Tale.--- Not a great movie, however when the he goes to find his father in his home town. His father is now blind and pops learns his son is now a knight. This scene always gets me.

For the most part alot of drama movies dealing with father son scenes. I am 26, my parents divorced when I was 17 and left home. 10 years later I now understand excatly what not both parents did for me but more so my father working not 1 but 2 jobs around the clock.

Now my father is my best friend!

[wacki]

I don't know if I ever cried, but Glory and Braveheart came close.
