Movies that make you cry
 

So I'm a bigger guy, and I'm kind of a ****. I usually don't show much sensitivity to anything but This movie made me Baw big time:

And ever since this movie I cry at just about any sad scene in a movie. :P

What movies make you cry, ToS??

Wow... movies I cry during...

• "The Notebook"
• "The Time Traveler's Wife"
• "Avatar" goes without saying.
• "Peter Pan" (2003 version) makes me cry everytime at the end.
• "Hook" makes me cry a couple times throughout (but never cried at it before until after watching "Peter Pan" and realizing a few things for Peter).

Let's see... I'm literally thinking of these off the top of my head as I type.

• "Memoirs of a Geisha" made me cry at the end.
• "Gladiator".
• "Children of Dune" (miniseries).
• "Toy Story 3".
• "Braveheart" used to make me cry; not anymore, though.
• "At First Sight" is another one.
• "Lady in the Water" is a sure tear-jerker for me; I never fail to cry for that one.
• "Passion of the Christ".
• "The Last Samurai".
• "The Green Mile".

I can't think of anymore at the moment. If I do, I'll post again.

Avatar




















and I'll admit it... I cried when ET died and then came back to life

You guys cried at Avatar? Seriously??

I think most people here do - me included.

Avatar is an extremely immersive movie - when watching it, you can feel like you are there, be a part of it. Because of this, it gets very strong emotionally - because you feel so much like you are there.

The destruction of Hometree scene is a great example - since so many of us get so immersed into the movie at this point, what the Na'vi feel, we feel. Not to mention the mating scene - but there it's crying out of happiness, naturally ;)

The fact that a movie can do all this by just making us share the character's emotions, is an amazing thing, and one of the things I love most about Avatar.

Avatar
Titanic
E.T.
All Quiet on the Western Front (original)
Apollo 13
Armageddon

Yeah I got way into Avatar too but it never had a crying factor. To me at least. but to each his own.

Crying is so great.

You... you mean, there's a remake of "All Quiet on the Western Front"?! :hmm:

Princess Mononoke

It takes a lot to make me cry. I usually hold it in. I do cry, but get teary-eyed more often.

Movies where I cried:
Avatar
Return of the King

Movies where I got teary-eyed:
How to Train Your Dragon

Yeah, small list, but I don't watch many movies. :P

Very little does it for me. Actually, there's probably more music that does than movies.

Avatar is still the only one that has made me actually fry. There are a few more that have brought me close to it but I haven't actually cried, and a few that were quite a while ago so I'm not really sure if I did (E.T. ), but Avatar is the only definite one.

Same here, Avatar was first and only one movie that touched my feelings very deeply, it literally changed my view of life.


pretty much same, but still nothing compared to Avatar

There's a few movies mentioned in this thread that I haven't seen yet but would probably make me cry.

For some reason, I have not openly cried during Avatar. :S Please don't hurt me... That's not to say my emotions don't get really worked up inside me, I just haven't felt the sting of tears as I have with the two listed above. Actually, now that I think about it, I came very close to crying the first time I saw Tsu'tey's death scene in the SE. That almost completely changed the mood of the ending for me.

Me too. In my opinion there was nothing cry-worthy in Avatar.

I did however cry when Boromir died in the Fellowship of the Ring. :P

Being female, I have a bigger cry hormone than guys...but I didn't cry during the original Avatar. I cried at Tsu'tey's death scene though..every time.
Other movies:

Last Samurai
Gladiator
Toy Story 3
Matrix 1 & 3 (yes, I liked all three but those got me)
Ladyhawke
Dragonheart
Babylon 5 last episode: Sleeping In Light (and if you watched that entire series from start to finish...yes...and still get teary eyed listening to the music.)

And there are likely others I can't remember right now from when I was younger that impacted me. My movie library is seriously lacking a lot of movies.

I was able to sit through Avatar three or four times before actually shedding a tear. I got all teary-eyed on first viewing though, and more so on my second and third.

I've cried to Simon Birch, Princess Mononoke and The fountain. Sadly I'm not very good at crying so until half year ago I hadn't cried (except for physical pain) since 2005. With other words... those movies touched me deeply.

I'm a wimp so...long list ahoy!

Toy Story 3
Brother Bear
Dumbo
Bambi
Lion King
The Fox & The Hound
....yeah, basically show me any disney film and I'll cry like a baby.
(also anything with animals...animals just make me cry xD)

How To Train Your Dragon
The Notebook
E.T
Dragonheart
A.I
Homeward Bound
Lassie
Fluke (I literally cried like...all the way through this movie when I was younger)

There's the 1930 version and the 1979 version. The former being much better than the latter.

Well Avatar is the only movie that have ever brought me to the point where I've actually started sheeding tears :) Most of those were happy tears (End Shuttle Scene) :embarrassed: And ofc Tsu'Tey scene... :'(

Besides Avatar... I do have a faint memory that I teared up a little at the end of Matrix Revolution (3rd).

Okay... Avatar isn't The Only Movie :P The Lion King! :) When Simbas father dies... I just can't hold it :'( :'(

Nothing more from my feeble memory ^.^

Apart from Avatar...

The Mission.

The Lion King.

Avatar

I cried even on the first time... It wasn't the MOST (probably the least of any, and I did think to myself 'what are you doing?'), but I still did. Of course, the feelings didn't set in for a couple of days, then I went to see it again, and cried LOTS that time.

Avatar is the first and only to really get to me.

These choked me up but didn't necessarily make me cry:

Green Mile
Up
Children of Men

Big Fish
ROTK

Avatar

^Yes, that's another one of mine too. Bish Fish.

Uhm, let's see.

WALL-E: Nearly always.

Gladiator: Sometimes.

Dragonheart: Always.

The Pursuit of Hapiness: Kinda.

The Lion King: Sometimes, but haven't watched it for a while.

Avatar didn't make me cry. It is my favorite movie and touched me on a deep level, but it didn't really effect me in the type of way that would make me cry.

Movies don't really make me cry so there aren't much. Dances With Wolves gets me at the end. If you've never seen the movie and watch this, then you might not get it, but if you have seen the movie I hope you understand. When Wind In His Hair is on the mountain saying all that stuff it really gets me teary eyed. It's just the fact that when he meet for the first time he says almost the same exact thing. He says his name, then "can't you see that ..." But the only difference is that rather than wanting to kill him and saying he is not afraid of him, he is telling him that he is his friend... Just how emotional it is when he says it really makes it sad (to me).

It's from :17 - 1:22 is what I am talking about. For some reason the English translation doesn't show up in the video so the translation is there in the form of Annotations.








And also the first Land Before Time movie used to make me cry.

Same here.

I can usually hold it when I want, but heck why would I want ? :P

At least these movies have made me cry:

- Avatar
- Titanic
- Dances with Wolves

The list could be a lot longer if I watched more movies, but really, before Avatar I didn't case much about movies :)

I usually don't cry or get choked up in movies but there are a few that make me cry, get choked up, or misty eyed:

Avatar (the destruction of hometree in particular)

the end of Dances with Wolves when Dunbar must leave the tribe and Wind in His Hair calls to him...wow..I get choked up there

The Last Samurai
Hero (the double suicide part)
Braveheart (of course, especially the execution scene)
Gladiator (the ending when that gorgeous voice of Lisa Gerrard comes out singing Now we are Free)
The Fellowship of the Ring (especially the end)
The Return of the King (there are many scenes that make me cry in this one)
The Passion (wow, this one is very painful to watch and I cry every time)
Up (that 10-15 montage at the beginning with Carl and Ellie..wow!! Makes me cry every time)
Wall-e (the end especially)
Toy Story 3 (the incinerator scene and when Andy gives away the toys)
Titanic (mostly the montage of the different passengers who were patiently awaiting their end, especially the quartet and the mother telling the last bedtime story her children will ever hear)

I actually started to get choked up in the Abyss when the woman (can't remember her name) drowns and then the Ed Harris character is trying to revive her. That is a painful scene.

I'm sure there are other ones I have choked up in but that is just a small portion. NB: normally I will get choked up when not only the scene is emotional but the music is too. It is VERY important in any movie as we all well know and sometimes you just can't help but to get teary eyed.

Also, kinda at the end of Inception.

Let me think....

Avatar (only on the fourth sitting, I have never cried watching avatar since)

Stargate SG-1 (several episodes throughout seasons 1-10)

Battlestar Galactica - Re-imagined (1 or 2 season 4 episodes)

Fellowship of the ring

Return of the king (I'm a big baby during this one)

The Shawshank Redemption

The last Samurai

Star Trek (several episodes in the various live action T.V series')

The Wrath of Khan (when Spock died)

There's actually a lot more I just can't think of right now.

in addition to the earlier films:

Irreversible
Apollo 13
Wall E

The Lion King, when Hamlet finds his father dead at the bottom of the gorge...

I second that :'(:'(:'(:'(:'(

I'm surprised no one here has mentioned "Grave of the Fireflies", anyone seen it?

It's a very powerful and devastating 1988 animated drama about the effects of WWII in Hiroshima after the bombing, two orphan siblings left from their mother go in search of a new home. It's very heartbreaking and will choke you up badly, i saw it when i was 14 in the mid-90's thanks to a great review of it on Siskel and Ebert as it touched my heart.

See it.
