Films that have made you shed a tear

[Pete]

I've seen my fair share of films and I haven't once been moved enough to cry during a particular scene but I done so for the first time last week.

I don't know what the strangest aspect was in this...the fact the tears happened within the first ten minutes of the film starting or the fact the film was basically a cartoon.

The film was "up" and the first ten minutes blew me away.

Sure there was talking dogs and all that during the film but that's for the kids and it's credit to the film-makers that the adults are looking for bits at the end that make sense and tie in with the build-up that the opening scenes got.
I watched it expecting nothing but christ after the opening scenes I wanted to watch the film to the end and I was willing this old guy, who I felt I knew, to fulfill his dreams. The fact the kids enjoyed it was a bonus.

I'll have it as one of the best films created in any form. Absolute genius.

Is a good film

[Sylar]

Up was awful (not as a film, but for the tearjerking beginning). Not a dry eye in the cinema.

I also struggle every time I watch We Are Marshall

[BroxburnHibee]

Being the big softy that I am there's been loads......

Its a Wonderful Life.
Awakenings
Philadelphia
Field of Dreams
Shawshank Redemption
Born Free
The Five Pennies
Green Mile
The Killing Fields
Mr Holland's Opus
Schindlers List


Loads more no doubt - never seen Up strangely - will probably do so now though.

Funnily enough ET left me strangely cold - hated that movie.

I was fine with that one, but talking of crying at cartoons, I watched 'The Fox and the Hound' with my youngest cousin the other week and was reminded of why I hadn't seen it for so long - That was made worse by the fact that she never shed a tear, and she's an 8-year-old!

For some reason I tend to be unmoved by the films that have other folk in floods. 'The Notebook', 'United 93', 'My Sister's Keeper', 'Ghost', 'Forrest Gump', 'The Green Mile', 'Titanic', 'Schindler's List' etc: nothing. Yet as soon as I watch something involving dogs, wolves, foxes, and the like, I'm a goner. 'Marley & Me' (albeit not half as bad as I was with the book) and 'Eight Below' never fail to have me in tears. Those two are the only films that have ever had me crying openly at the cinema.

[Pretty Boy]

Total softie at heart so here goes:

ET
Schindlers List
Kramer vs Kramer
Green Mile
Stand By Me (especially now knowing what happened to River Phoenix)
The Jungle Book
Shawshank Redemption
City of God
The Blind Side
Philadelphia

Plus hundreds more that i can't think of right now. Pretty much any film that has a sentimental moment, an injustice or a happy ending has me greeting like a wee girl.

[marinello59]

Il Postino got me.

[Dashing Bob S]

Just about anything with pathos will have my eyes watering in a cinema. It's strange, because extreme violence and gore on the big screen, no matter how well done, doesn't excite much of a reaction. But the most corny, smaltzy scenes will have me crying like a baby.

[easty]

The Pursuit of Happyness has its moments for me.

[Calvin]

Life is Beautiful is by a mile the saddest film I have ever seen. Highly recommended.

[.Sean.]

Titanic
The Green Mile
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Saving Private Ryan
Ghost
The end of Band of Brothers



Big softie at heart

[Bayern Bru]

Are we all softies then?

For me...

Stand by me
Lion King (when Mufasa dies. I'm not ashamed)
Field of dreams

There's probably more but I can't think of them right now.

Up is one of the weirdest films ever - making you cry at the beginning! Good film, we have a Kevin marionette puppet, its brill

I cry at anything so I cant possibly start typing or I'd be here forever. I cried at Dancing on Ice last night when that war hero guy skated and when Kerry skated (because of the song)

No matter how many times I see this film, I weep uncontrollably. A truly marvellous piece of cinema.

I thought 'Up' was really sad as well. I went to the pictures and it was only the adults crying which I found rather strange. Although 'Wall-e' had me choking back the tears as well so I'm hardly immune to blubbing like a baby at the drop of a hat.

[Twiglet]

I'd like to add Wall E and Turner & Hooch to the list.

[David_D]

The end of Toy Story 3 does it for me, I always feel the tears coming makes me feel like such a kid.

[Teo10]

The pursuit of Happyness
The Green Mile
Saving Private Ryan
Gran Torino

There are loads that make me shed a tear... It's not that hard though! Can't beat a good tear jerker!

[CropleyWasGod]

Sophie's Choice.... I defy any parent to watch that without bawling.

I thought I was the only one that cried at that!

As for films, I cry at everything, I've even seen myself crying at trailers for films! I cried at the trailer for The Blind Side and for Hereafter which is out in a few weeks.

[HibbyAndy]

Two words. 'The Champ'

[just_joe]

Field of Dreams was sad at the end but i didn't cry at it! Only film ive cried at was a film I watched on the true movies channel. It was about a wee kid who was really ill but was really living her life to the full but ended up dieing in her sleep at the end. I think also knowing that the story was true made me cry even more.

I had the tears rolling during the episode of Band of Brothers when they find the concentration camp.

Although its not a film, some of the medical stories in Greys Anatomy can be quite moving too.

[Peevemor]

Bigfoot and the Hendersons.

[One Day Soon]

Hmm.

Cinema Paradiso every time.

[heretoday]

The end of Manhattan when Woody Allen is trying to dissuade his young girlfriend from going to UK to study after having encouraged her to go previously.

The New York Gershwin soundtrack adds to the pathos and brings a manly misting to the eye.

[hibsbollah]

Angels with Dirty Faces does it for me everytime
