Films that make you cry

[CHAPPERS]

Watched Gangs of New York last night, the ending is shit and didn't make me cry but it certainly had the potential, this got me to thinking, 'what films have really moved me to the point of tears' and i came up with this list...

Battle Royale - f***ed up Japanese film that tears you apart with a very somber ending.
Cool Runnings - I just can't help it when they carry the sled to the finish line.
Armageddon - Well, its pretty nice how that guy played by Bruce Willis gives up his life.
Pay It Forward - Very upsetting, great acting by the little kid from Sixth Sense

 

[Meade's Ball]

Definitely Battle Royale. The acting had me in hysterics. I was later sedated.

Spies Like Us has always had a certain mortifying effect on me. Ackroyd, why did you have to play with the damn buttons!?!?! Leave the tomfoolery to Chase!!! Oh, oh, oh, you've saved the world!!!!! ACKROYD!!

Teenwolf. Oh Teenwolf. You let Styles down! The wolf made a monkey out of him. Your lupine head got too big!! You're still just a kid!! Learn your lesson.



I'll shut up now.

The Life of Brian.

A film called "who will love my children" with Sally Field - she is dying and has to give up each of her 5 or 6 kids for adoption....I cried as she gave away each child - its a crap film but it was on cable one night when nothing else was on....I went through a whole box of tissues crying for her and then crying about anything else I could ever think of that had made me sad....couldn't stop!

Last time I watched Sixth Sense with my dearly beloved we bawled nearly the whole way though. I know it's mawkish sentimental nonsense but it seemed to push the right buttons on that occasion.

Apart from that the scene in the tea shop from Withnail and I when Richard E Grant is struggling to hold it together during the "We'll install a jukebox......." line normally sets me off but for completely different reasons.

Born Free does it for me, every time. When the lioness comes back with the little baby lions!!!!






ET was pretty sad too.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service was horresndously sad where Dianna Rigg got shot by the nasty spekter people at the end, and then they played "We have All The Time In The World" am filling up now!!!

 

[Rochester Seagull]

Gone with the Wind.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Midnight Cowboy. When Ratso/Hoffman is dying at the end as they journey toward their dreams. That damn music.

 

[SurreySeagulls]

The Champ and Kes when I was younger

 

[Lush]

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Bambi

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

Kes - well sad.

E.T - I did shed a tear & I was 15 when it came out!

& King Kong (the original) I cried then too - but I was seven then.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Not many chaps are going to admit to crying in a film but the ones below have been known for me to well up.

1. ET - The Extraterrestrial - When he dies and then comes back to life and also the ending, it does it to me everytime.
2. The Elephant Man - goes to sleep like a normal person knowing he will die.
3. Field of Dreams - playing ball with Dad

 

[Mr Popkins]

schindlers list-

right at the end when Oscar ,starts realising he could have saved more jews by selling more of his valuables.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

4. Schindler's List - the whole film
5. Somewhere in Time - you old romantic, Glover

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Moulin Rouge made me cry the other night. But that was probably more to with the dozen cans of Stella drank prior and during than anything Nicole or Ewan said or did...

"And you can tell everybody, this is your song!"

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Cried my eyes out to Schindler's List, but I felt completely cheated by the unashamed manipulation that Spielberg / Williams used to make me cry, especially the little girl in the red coat, which he stole from a Dutch film The Girl With The Red Hair anyway.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Kes...great call!!!

also the funniest bit where Brian Glover ( God rest his soul) is the PE teacher who awards himself a penalty and all the kids are arguing with him and the main character spends his time hanging from the crossbar like a monkey

 

[Meade's Ball]

Brian Glover was my dad's french teacher in Barnsley and the kid in Kes is my second cousin.
2 facts in one post.

 

[Dave the OAP]

blimey!

 

[Artois]

Has anyone seen Bicentennial Man?

I usually think that films like that are shite, but this is a classic.
A reall tearjerker at the end.
