Films that make you cry

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Agreed about The Green Mile - very good film.

The first Fast & Furious... it really was that bad.

On a serious note, Midnight Express. I really felt for the poor guy when he was just 53 days away from being released from that hellhole of a Turkish prison after 4 years inside, only to be sentanced to another 26! Very hard to take in.
Immense joy when he managed to escape.

Pharlap (spelling?). About a racehorse that dies or something. Remember it making me blub though (I was about 10).

The Neverending Story. Again, when the horse dies.

 

[Lush]

Ther are lots of films I've deliberately avoided because I know I will wail through them. Even though I know Schindlers List is a must-see film I just don't want to put myself through it.

I know that some horrifically sad things have happened in this world and continue to happen, but I prefer to be informed through books rather than spend precious leisure time having my heart-strings tugged by dramatic images and stirring music and end up in an emotional heap.

Emannuelle made me cry as well (My mum caught me watching it half way through)

 

[CHAPPERS]

The question is, 'are any of these films as tear jerking as the end of Blackadder goes forth'? I think not.

 

[WATFORD zero]

How can this thread have got this far without

The Killing Fields

 

[albiongirl]

The film I can,t watch is An officer and a gentleman as I can,t stop crying don,t ask me why probably just a soppy girl thing!!

 

[Lush]

Want to join the DAFT Bints clique albiongirl?

We offer nothing but beer.

 

[elbowpatches]

When I was a kid I remember feeling weepy watching the Fox and the Hounds.

 

[bhaexpress]

For purely sentimental reasons, Field of Dreams. I can't help but think about Falmer and say to myself 'If you build it, they will come'.

 

[Seagulls over Lewes]

E.T. brough a tear to the eye but I was only about 10 then.

 

[Wienergull]

Going back to the Schindler's List debate, I felt that on the whole this was a pretty honourable attempt by a mainstream Hollywood director - and I say that as someone who doesn't normally care for Spielberg's films and their sentimentality. However, I felt that Polanski's The Pianist was a more powerful film, although it had its flaws too. Some of the scenes were almost unwatchable in their brutality, but somehow I got a more palpable sense of what it must have been like to live through that hell.

 

[albiongirl]

Lush if beer is involved then I,m there!!!

 

[Blackadder]

The question is, 'are any of these films as tear jerking as the end of Blackadder goes forth'? I think not.

Couldn't agree with you more Chappers. Found the whole episode brilliant and the end was spectacular. one if those "quiet moments of reflection" in a sitcom. I'm assuming that it is classed as a sitcom.

My signature refers to that moment.

(My avatar doesn't do it justice really)

 

[Easy 10]

I had a lump in my throat at the end of The Shawshank Redemption.

But it turned out to be a pork scratching.

 

[The Laughing Bluebird]

'Loch Ness'. Believe it or not.

 

[Wilts]

The question is, 'are any of these films as tear jerking as the end of Blackadder goes forth'? I think not.

Another one agreeing... along with Blackadder (the poster!) above. Best end to any sitcom...

Actually found a bit in Toy Story 2 quite upsetting, but that was probably something to do with the bird bawling her eyes out at the time.

 

[Rambo]

The Green Mile
Forest Gump
Untamed Heart (shit) but sad.

 

[WhitleyDennis]

The end of Pretty In Pink and the part in Little Women where Jo turns down Laurence make me cry. Never fails. But then I'm soft.
