Nil by Mouth did me. Some harrowing scenes but the one where Ray Winstone finally breaks down and talks about seeing his dad in hospital took me over the edge. I believe Gary Oldman who wrote and directed it cried on the South Bank Show when talking about it. If you haven't seen it, worth a watch.

End of The Green Mile was my worst, I've never had a dog but Marley and Me turned me into a wreck, I thought they were bad but recently the The Descendents made me cry.

But for me it has to be the end of The Bucket List when Morgan Freeman dies. Me and the missus were in absolute pieces and I was a snotty blubbering wreck for a good half hour after it finished. It still makes me want to cry now thinking about it, it is also the film that has triggered me into starting the process to stop smoking. Cancer is a ****.

I cried in one of Michael Moore's films where they do the events that lead up to 9/11 and then show the footage of the planes hitting. The way it was put together and told culminating in that scene had me going. Other than that not much makes me cry, especially not the mawkish manipulations of Spielberg et al.

For me, it's the early 70s sci fi film Silent Running.
It's about a botanist on a space station who is in charge of the last of earths plant life, ends up killing himself.
Very grim story for a Disney film...
Dunno what it is, maybe it's a strong reminder of being a really young kid when I first saw it, but when I saw it again in the mid 90s (I was about 25), it destroyed me. I couldn't get a grip for a couple or more hours.
I still can't watch it now.
There's a song in it called 'Rejoice In The Sun by Joan Baez. Just ruins me when it comes on in the film.
I must confess that I refused to watch Schindlers List with my flat mate & his lady. I booked in to watch it on my own as I knew I was going to find it impossible not to blub.
Yeah, I must be too soft, but I like to think it maybe makes me more 'human' than some.

Silent Running is one of my favourites too, principally got to know about is as it was massively sampled by the Future Sound of London, who were provided my soundtrack to that time.

The end of The Green Mile, with the mouse.

The only time I have EVER shed a tear at a film.

I'm pretty sure I've never shed a tear at a piece of fictional cinema. That little bit of footage a few weeks ago, of the old lady and her little dog in the aftermath of the tornado, though, had me on the EDGE.

Exactly. If she keeled over in floods of tears it would have been bad enough, but the brilliance in the acting/directing comes from the way she tries to tough it out, takes a deep breath, and flap her hands to dry her running mascara so the kids can't see she's been crying.

There's so much I love about that movie. Colin the nerd when he arrives in Wisconsin & is surrounded by stunning women. The sex scenes between Martin Freeman & Joanna whatserface from Gavin & Stacey when they're talking about their holidays while filming porn scenes. The Hugh Grant on the stairs dance. And most of all when Andrew Lincoln turns up outside Keira Knightley's house after she's got married, and uses the cardboard signs to tell her he'll always love her even though he knows they can't ever be together :cry:
As a family we now watch that movie every Xmas eve without fail its become a tradition in our household

The holding back the tears scene is a superb piece of acting in an otherwise shit film.
