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.

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.

I think it would be an interesting investigation for a story writer to watch all of these movies and shows we all have been pouting about (lol). It would make for some good learning material. I'm no English dude, just throwing the idea out there.

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

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.

Books and music tend to make me cry more than movies. But there are a few that have made me tear up or even full blown cried.
Avatar-Because of it's beauty and because of the destruction of Hometree.
Repo! The Genetic Opera-Blind Mag's death/Chromaggia song. Also Nathans death. Those scenes just tear me up inside.
Sweeny Todd-The ending
A Walk to Remember-Jamie's death
Trueblood-(Not a movie haha but still) When Bill left

Not just this scene, but the whole movie itself.

*sniff* Possibly the most beauitful movie moment I've ever watched. For a none HP-fan it might be hard to really feel the emotion in this scene, the deep friendship between Harry and Hermione that has been growing through all the years. It's not just a dance, it is Harry and Hermione truly expressing the love they have for each other. Not love as mates, but love as friends, as a brother and a sister.






Hermione's 1:39 smile gets me every time. :') *tears up*

sry for bad quality btw. bluray release in April.

Avatar is the only movie as of yet to make me cry...However several star trek episodes have made me cry. Usually the ones near the end of a series. (These are the voyages, all good things, What You leave behind, Endgame)
