Films that have made you shed a tear

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.

I actually cry at all films, sad or not. 'Up' took it to a different level though - I sobbed pretty much all of the way through it. Towards the end, I was just about recovering. Until Kevin got his badge......At one point during the film, my daughter (6 at the time) told me that we could leave if I was finding it too hard.

I had heard that 'Toy Story 3' had its moments, so I went reluctantly, and prepared. We got past the impending doom bit with the furnace, and I was priding myself on having shed not one tear. Foolishly let my guard down.......because that wasn't it.

I saw Up for the first time this Christmas, like so many others the start made me cry. It's fairly uncommon for films to get me greeting, another relatively recent one was This Is England.

A couple of months ago I read a biography of Garrincha which completely ambushed me and had me in tears - the latter part of his life was just tragic.

Man on fire and gran torino are two films that have me bubbling...

The Kite Runner.

Have you read the book? Oh my god! I've never cried like that reading a book in my life! I took it on holiday last year, probably not the best idea as I spent 3 days crying, I had to keep putting the book down cause I couldn't see what I was reading! The film was moving but nowhere near as bad as the book. Despite it being so sad I still thought it was amazing.

Yes, a very good read and so sad. Khalid Hosseini's second book 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' is also excellent.

Yeah I read that on the same holiday, probably not the most ideal books to take with me because I spent a lot of time crying but I read them both within the first 5 days, I couldn't put them down. I hope A Thousand Splendid Suns gets made into a film too.

I Am Legend, when big Will and his dug

Others for me - The Lion King, Shawshank, Fox and the Hound, Armageddon, Remember the Titans, Radio.

The end of Lost almost had me going, between the fact it was all over and because it was pretty emotional, and the end of season 3 of 24, you know its been a tough day when Bauer's in tears!

[col02]

I will admit to shedding a tear to quite a few films but first tearjerker for me was Watership Down when I must have been about 10.

[The_Exile]

Running on Empty, I defy anyone not to be affected by that film, end of Toy Story 3 I had to look away and cover my ears, Marley and Me, Homeward Bound, the tv pictures on the news of all the snow falling on that old woman at the end of November, was tears of laughter though.

........again not a film but I cried at a prog on livingtv (I thinkl) called something like too fat at 15. There is one girl on it who was something ridiculous like 40 stone and is at fat camp in America. She never complains and always has a smile on her face. She has something wrong with her bones and has had loads of ops and I think was just very spoiled by her parents and ended up in the state she is in, never attended school and is quite baby like in her manner but incredibly likeable. She managed to walk up a small hill which was like me climbing Ben Nevis - very hard work but achievable! I cried when she did it.

The Champ always gets me too.There was a Norman Wisdom film had me bawling my eyes out when I was a nipper.Dont remember the name of it, just that although he was a nice guy everyone kept picking on him and eventually he broke down and went into a big spiel about how unfair it all was.B@###### .Think it was a comedy too

[Sean1875]

the scene where william wallaces father is getting buried/cremated in braveheart always gets a lump in my throat, probably down to the bagpipes but really gets to me.
referring to the "banned" bagpipes after the official burial

Well you can dry your eyes now because, like much else in the film (which is still very good) that's historically incorrect, as bagpipes were never banned as an "instrument of war". However one piper, James Reid, was executed for taking part in a rebellion even though he wasn't armed, and and only five others were prosecuted.

So there!

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.

I was drunk when I wrote that. Obviously I'm too hard to cry at films. CCS!

Besides, i've shed loads of tears at ER. To paraphrase Blobby: "if you want to cry during an afternoon, get yourself along to Easter Road."
