FILM: Movies that have made you tear up

[shant]

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I did a search and couldn't find anything. I'm having this discussion with a friend and I'm having a hard time remembering movies that have made me tear up.

The only one I can remember is Forrest Gump when Bubba dies, and when he's standing over Jenny's grave and telling her how smart their son is.

I think it's pretty lame that this is the movie that brought me to tears.

What movies made you tear up? I'd say cry, but I doubt anyone in here has been reduced to bawling over a movie. If you have, let's hear about that too.

The end of Shawshank. It's a tear of freedom, at least.

Any males on here cry at all during Mystic River? Every female I've watched that movie with has bawled her eyes out and accused me of being emotionally detached for not crying.

[2+2 wannabe]

armageddon when the dad goes into the elevator

I can't remember the boxing movie (it wasn't the one with Will Smith), but there was a part near the end that made me cry - great description I know /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

The end of Gladiator, and the end of The Pianist.

I've never had a movie make me actually cry. Feel sad yes, but not cry. It's not being macho or anything, but I just don't think I can let a movie affect me like that. I've dealt with so much terrible [censored] in real life, that a movie won't do it to me.

It has Keanu Reeves which sucks, but the ending is crazy sad.

HUGELY:

Graveyard of the Fireflies

Definitely:

The Christmas Tree

Borderline, but gut-wrenching emotions:

Born of the Fourth of July
Jacob's Ladder, the very end

That old Lou Gehrig movie, Pride of the Yankees I think it was

I'm sure there have been many more.

[xorbie]

White Squall, first and one of the only.

[Cyrus]

When Harry can't 'get in the mood', SuperAngel throws down Harry's 15" rubber prosthetic stand-in in disgust. This sends Harry into a rage, leading to an incredibly violent rampage in which SuperAngel is murdered in a bathtub.

Such a sad, sad ending to their relationship.

[diebitter]

The end of It's a Wonderful Life, and the bit in The Iron Giant where he saves the town from the bomb.

[Vavavoom]

Films that made me cry or well up even...:

ET (I was 6 or 7)
Bambi (I was very young)
Forrest Gump
Green Mile

Possibly one or 2 others that are eluding me...

[ddubois]

Titanic, when the old people cuddle up on the bed as the ship is going down.

The Notebook, when they exchange "I love you"s and go to sleep for the last time.

I, apparently, have a soft spot when it comes to old people. The one-two punch of life-long love and facing my own mortality is too much for me.

Oh, English Patient was another. Love meets death again.

[ChipWrecked]

I didn't mean to imply any actual connection between the two (i don't even know what studio made the movie), just that the movie seemed really moralistic to me, with he same sort of message. (pray to god and a your life will be a success - do drugs and have sex, then you have to die, etc... etc...)

[Blarg]

I've heard it said a few times, and the arguments didn't sound unreasonable.

Haven't seen it myself, but have honestly been put off of seeing it by those same arguments.

[SammyKid11]

For whatever reasons sports movies tend to get me...

Rudy - absolutely, every single time he runs onto the field and the crowd roars...I'm wiping my eyes.

Friday Night Lights - when Boobie Miles leaves the locker room for the last time, climbs in the car with his uncle and breaks down...zero-to-crying in 3.8 seconds

Radio - my cousin is mentally retarded, so that one's a no-brainer

I dunno...the typical movies that make people cry (Forrest Gump, Philadelphia, Titanic, etc.) don't have much effect on me, but sports movies kill me.

Even Hoosiers - when Hackman says "I love you guys"

Also anything to do with Lost's John Locke (not sports, but he's like a composite of my dad and my pseudo father-in-law) gets me pretty good.

Maybe I cry too much...haha.

[newhizzle]

[tinga81]

A River Runs Through It

Cool Hand Luke. Saddest movie I've ever seen.

[swede123]

Band of Brothers - many times but particularly at the end when they are playing baseball and Winters narrates about what happened to each of them after the war.

Saving Pvt. Ryan - when the preacher comes to deliver the news to Ryan's mom.

Bridges of Madison County - at the end when Streep's character is just about to walk out of the truck and then doesn't.

I'm sure there are others, but these three immediately come to mind.

Swede

[B Dids]

Like I've mentioned before- the ending to Babe the Pig.

The end of Band of Brothers where we see the real life people and put names to faces.

For some reason I'm blanking on a lot of stuff. I cry pretty easy. That said, I didn't cry during Forrest Gump, which I think is a pretty lousy movie.

My same beef with the film is my beef with the book. The Sam and Frodo stuff drags, and is basically just Frodo being a miserable [censored] for longer than really works. I couldn't get much emotion up because I just didn't really enjoy the characters as much.

[CCass]

ET (self explanatory)

A River Runs Through It (reminds me of my relationship with my cousin/best friend when we were growing up)

Star Trek 2, the Wrath of Kahn (the scene at the end with Kirk and Spock always get me)

[ucfryan]

End of Shawshank.
Field of Dreams

And at the end of Blow - where he tape records his final message to his dad:

"Hello Dad. You know I remember a lifetime ago, when I was about 3 1/2 feet tall, weighing all of 60 pounds, but every inch your son. I remember those Saturday mornings going to work with my dad, we'd climb into that big green truck. I thought that truck... was the biggest truck in the universe pop. I remember how important the job we did was, how if it wasn't for us, people would freeze to death. I thought you were the strongest man in the world. And remember those home videos when mom would dress up like Loretta Young, barbeques and football games, ice cream, playing with the Tuna. And when I left for California only to come home with the FBI chasing me, and that FBI agent Trout had to kneel down to put my boots on and you said, "That's where you belong you son of a bitch, puttin on Georgie's boots." That was a good one pop, you remember that? And remember that time when you told me that money wasn't real? Well old man, I'm 42 years old, and I finally realize what you were trying to tell me, so many years ago. I finally understand. Your the best, pop, just wish I could have done more for you, wish we had more time. Anyway, may the wind always be at your back, and the sun always upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars. I love you Dad. Love George."

In the book yes in the film no.

For me I used to cry everytime the show Lassie ended although I was very little at the time.

In teenage years Breakfast Club and Dead Poets Society.

In more recent times, the End of Band of Brothers (ok not a film) when they showed you who was who and had the old men talking about themselves and their experiences and also a film about the Hillsbourgh disaster which is soccer related so wont be understood across the pond.

[LetYouDown]

Rudy I think gets anyone who ever played a sport a little teary eyed.
ET made me cry when I was a kid.

[Blarg]

Everybody used to cry at that movie. I think nobody sees it anymore. Good one to bring up.

I just remembered another one -- I Want to Live, with Susan Hayward. Going to the gas chamber is a bummer.

Dead Poet's Society when Neil commits suicide after finding his true passion in life is one of the saddest scenes in a movie ever. Also, when all the students stand on their chairs to support the teacher gets me.

Believe it or not, the very end of The Godfather III, when Michael's daughter gets shot at the opera, and he is so totally overcome with immediate grief that even Connie cannot believe how badly he is suffering.

Another is when Debra Winger dies in Terms of Endearment. Shirley MacLaine really hit it on the head in that scene.

And when Tom Cruise's character confronts his father on his deathbed in Magnolia. Wow. And people say he can't act.

How about the entire end of House of Sand and Fog? Talk about suffering. Good lord.

How about when David Merrick removes his pillow and lays his head down to die in the Elephant Man, with Barber's Adagio for Strings playing on the soundtrack? You'd have to be made out of titanium not to be affected by that scene.

How about when Andy Dufresne looks up and sees his friend Red walking toward him on the beach? Nice.

Or the scene where The Duke makes the women eat their own feces in Salo.

OK, that last one was for entirely different reasons.

Graveyard of the Fireflies is so unbearably sad it's almost impossible to watch.

Especially when you see the supplemental material on the DVD or otherwise find out it came from a autobiographical book. It must have been agony to write it and live with it. I swear, I started choking up just thinking about it now.

That movie and My Life as a Dog rip me up every time, and for that reason I can't watch them too often even though they're astonishingly good and have so many great things in them besides tragedy.

Mike Ranney of the 101st: "In thinking back on the days of Easy Company, I'm treasuring my remark to a grandson who asked, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?' No, I answered, but I served in a company of heroes."
Cue the waterworks.

One nobody mentioned: Reds, when the guy makes it back to his wife at the end - whew.

This kind of thing is all about hitting you at the right time in the right "mood" though. Same movie might make me choke up one day, and might make me laugh and roll my eyes a different day.

Life is Beautiful immediately comes to mind

I remember being really moved by Reds, but I haven't seen it since it came out, and now barely remember it. Or I should say, I only remember that I and everyone else loved it, and it had Warren Beatty in it, and he directed it. I should rent it and see it again.

Nobody mentions the original Brian's song?
