Movies that make you cry

[iron_jones]

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.

What movies make you cry, ToS??

[Woodsprite]

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

[iron_jones]

You guys cried at Avatar? Seriously??

[Eltu]

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.

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

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.

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.

[Human No More]

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.

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

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.

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