Fascinating.

The killing of King Kong, Orca, Jane Goodall's monkeys, the melting of Frosty, a robot kid, and ET.

Remind me not to step on Sponge Bob or you might kill yourself.

But hey, I know how animal films can get to ya - I cried for Seabiscuit.

The English Patient
Spartacus
Schindler's List
Life is Beautiful

Good one - Lion King, I had to back off and not let my kids see me cry like a baby during that one.

[Crown Royal]

A Nightmare on Elm Street.




























I was only 6.

[Nors]

In all seriousness - The Field of dreams where Costner has a catch with his dad broke me. I grew up as a kid always having a catch with my dad in the backyard. He'd always ask me "want to have a catch"? I treasured those moments, and miss him to this day after he passed away.

Solace? To this day my son frequently gets me and says "want to have a catch". I get a lot of joy out of our catches. The field of dreams sequence of having a catch with your Dad one last time is well, a tear jerker to me.

I've said enough!

[CowboysFan02]

All good movies and a some of them were tear jerkers for me too.

I would like to add Ladder 49. The ending just got to me, espcelly thinking about all the countless firefighters and their families that went throught the same thing. True heros.

fittingly on Fathers day I will be at Fenway with my sons taking in a Sox game. Baseball here is america's sport on the generation passdown. My now 11 year old is heavy into All Star baseball and travel season. I put a chair down and watch him play, its like baseball was played 100 years ago.... Sitting in Fenway on a Sunday afternoon sometimes you feel that too....

[Danny White]

The end of Braveheart ALWAYS gets me. The scene where he's about to die and he sees her walking through the crowd. Man... I have goosebumps right now just thinking about it.

The end of Dead Poets Society always used to get to me too, when they stand up on their desks. But I haven't seen that movie in years.

[jksmith269]

Legands of the Fall
Fried Green Tomatoes
Driving Miss Daisey
The Patriot
Mulan
We Were Soldiers
Black Hawk Down also made me mad as hell

[blindzebra]

Come on people, this is a football forum...how can it be that nobody has said Brian's Song yet?

1) Passion of the

3) Braveheart
4) Backdraft - the funeral procession with Amazing Grace does it to me every time
5) Where the Red Fern Grows - not the movie, but the book. I cried my eyes out.
6) I admit it, Titanic

[phildominator]

A recent movie - The Notebook. As chick flicks go, that one WAS pretty good.

6) I admit it, TitanicThis is corny, but I am a Trek fan :rolleyes: .

The scene near the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan where Spock dies. The eulogy that Kirk (William Shatner) gives at the end, which is followed immediately by Scotty (James Doohan) playing Amazing Grace on the Scottish pipes, always hits me square in the chest. Corny, but true. :o:

Awesome movie, awesome.

Two others off the top of my head ( I really enjoy movies that bring this kind of emotion, need to watch more)

Armageddon
Fox and the Hound (I cannot watch this movie and not cry, one of the most emotional scenes ever imo)

[DallasEast]

*That Ape movie with the Alien chick - sad how they killed Gorilla's in the MystThat 'Alien' chick is Sigourney Weaver. A wonderful actor who SHOULD HAVE WON the Academy Award/Best Actress for her role as Ripley in Aliens. But noooooo! They had to give the oscar to Marlee "Children of a Lesser God" Matlin. Whoopie! That sucked. :explode:



It's almost been 20 years and (as you can clearly tell) I haven't quite gotten over it yet. :p:

[DallasEast]

ArmageddonI can give out props to lovers of Armageddon, but I loved Deep Impact moreso. When the astronauts sacrificed themselves by guiding the ship into the comet was inspiring. And they all knew that, after they were gone, dozens of high schools would be named after them. ;)

[laythewood28]

Antwone Fisher. What a sad movie :cry2:

[Qwickdraw]

I have to commend all of the guys here who aren't afraid to admit crying from a movie. Especially being the die-hard football fans that we are.

I can't think of any movies that have made me cry. But I do admit weddings tend to break me up a little. Not because they are sweet and joyous but because they strike a saddening chord from my past.


I did cry after Armageddon, though...
because I actually had to pay for myself and a date to watch that garbage.

[Chief]

OK, the thing that gets me the most is when I see someone else grieving for a lost one, so ...........


1. La Bamba. (Hands down, this one gets me the most. Watching Ritchie Valens' mother hear the news of her son's death on the radio while she's hanging the laundry, her frantic embrace of her other son, Bob, and her absolute collapse just kills me. Also, at the very end when Bob is out on the bridge and he looks up at the sky and screams, "Ritchie" at the top of his lungs .... ugh.)

2. Mask. (When Cher's son, Eric Stoltz, finally dies .... she comes into his bedroom and sees that he has died. She cries and lays in bed with him).

3. The Green Mile. (John Coffey's execution was powerful and seeing the reaction of the guards).

4. Spencer's Mountain. (When the grandpa dies and Henry Fonda desperately tries to save him).

[Chief]

Fascinating.

:laugh2: :laugh2:

[Payton34Smith22]

The scene on Boyz in the Hood,where they kill Ice Cube's brother,really get's to me.

Brian's Song does that to me too.

The Champ is another one.

That's about it lol. And I don't really cry....but my eyes water up a bit.;)

[adbutcher]

1. To Kill A Mockingbird
2. Lion King
3. And the saddest movie I ever saw that caught me completely off guard..............Hard Ball. Straight Tragic, everry time I think about it it makes me :cry:

[blindzebra]

Oh no! Someone else who thought that Titanic was three hours of crap! :eek:

I'm not alone in the world, after all. :p:

Sitting through 3 hours of over-the-top, terrible acting...from two good actors in Leo and Kate...a far fetched story...there is a reason almost all the steerage passengers died, they were locked in the bottom of the ship and would have not been allowed on the deck...just to see 30 minutes of special effects.

I was cheering for the iceberg.:D

I got forced into watching it... I started laughing when that guy fell off the sinking ship and bounced off the prop... I got a lot of dirty looks and was in trouble for a week... lol it was worth it (the laugh, that is)...

The two cheerleaders on Saturday Night Live (Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri) did a great skit when Titanic came out. They were doing their cheers in the lobby of the theater.

Instead of singing "Rockin' Robin," they sang, "Dead and bobbin,' " complete with the frozen floating motion that Leo was doing when he was in the water.

Oh, and Celine Dion is pretty hard to take.

VH1 had those Divas Live specials and in the first one they had Gloria Estefen, Mariah Carey, Shania Twain, Celine Dion and Aretha Franklin.

They all sang their songs and the big finish was with them all singing "You Make Me Feel" together. Well, Gloria, Mariah and Shania all realized that this is Aretha and immediately became the Pips, but not Celine. She tried to upstage Aretha, and well, she went down like the Titanic.:D

I remember that. SNL did a skit on that one, too.

[Hostile]

Lot's of movies move me. Few make me cry. These did.

1. Brian's Song.

2. Old Yeller.

3. The Green Mile.

4. Ladder 49.

[WoodysGirl]

I've never been one to cry over a movie, but there have been some where I might have held back a lil bit.

A Color Purple - never actually shed a tear, but I've been close every time I've watched it. And I've watched it alot.

Boys Don't Cry - My friend popped this in the VCR cuz she's a movie buff and we were killing time before going out. This movie str8 killed my motivation. It was extremely sad and hard to watch (for so many reasons).

Con Air - That last scene w/Nicholas Cage and the lil girl was so touching. The rest of the movie was hilarious.

Set It off - Didn't get teary, 'specially since it was so unreal. But there were some scenes that touched me.

I'm sure if I think hard enuff, I could prolly come up w/some more. But if I want to watch a movie to get emotional, I'll turn on Lifetime. That's my station on Sundays. :)

[LaTunaNostra]

A lot of great tearjerkers in this thread. And props to all who wanted to upchuck at the DiCaprio death scene.

let me add another recent film that qualifies as an excellent drama hard not to cry to..

Cold Mountain.

[lane]

i can't believe i forgot brian's song.

[Kangaroo]

1. Old Yeller

2. The very end of saving Private Ryan when Ryan is standing there at the grave thinking back when Tom hanks told him to do something great with his life. Ryan had not realized he did something great he raised a family.


all I can think of at this time

[blindzebra]

I can't believe I forgot Ray.

[Juke99]

Wuthering Heights (the original)

Seabiscuit (at the end when he wins the Santa Anita...and also the part after he races War Admiral where Tom Smith stops to pick up the racing program)

sling blade......... one of the best movies ever.

yes juke, titanic had it's moments. i did not cry because of leo dying. i cried for the 1,517 souls that were lost. the scene where the mother in third class was reading a bedtime story to her 2 little kids knowing they were about to die a horrible death.

the movie was a love story weaved into a historical (and catastrophic) event. i cried for the real people who were remembered so truthfully and eloquently; the fathers who had to reassure their children that they would see them on land shortly--all the while knowing that they would not; for the mothers left to fend for themselves and their children alone; for the children who were orphaned, and for those left behind, lost in the panic; for the entire families wiped out in one shot; for those people who were trapped below, gated in like animals, not allowed to surface until it was virtually too late; for captain smith, who #1, this was to be his last voyage before retiring and #2 was railroaded by bruce ismay into pushing the titanic to her limits and ultimately her doom; for the architect thomas andrews, who watched from somewhere inside as his dream sank into the freezing waters that fateful night, not living long enough to hear the cries and screams fade into death. dramatic? yes, it was. tragic? indeed. should it be remembered? don't know, but it always will.

[lane]

glory was one damn good movie as well.

I agree about Sling Blade...I'm a Dwight Yoakam fan...hell of a vocalist...solid song writer...and he did a great job in that movie...

And yep, I agree about Titanic. Being a musician, the scene where the band decides to continue to play was powerful stuff. I was touched by the fact that when they first walked in different directions, they took their instruments with them. I understood that.

All the other scenes were killer as well. The movie was dead on to the real life facts of that tragedy, which made it all that much more powerful.

Glory. Tough stuff to watch because that was true as well.

[Chief]

Forrest Gump


Good addition to the list.

I forgot about that one. It gets me when Gump is standing at Jenny's grave, crying and telling her how great their son is.

[DeputyDawg]

Hey Dawg, nice sig pic. :)

Thank you very much. Means alot coming from the Juke himself.

Cold Mountain.

Yes on Cold Mountain - but I couldn't cry because I knew right from the get go what the ending was going to be. A tad predictable.

[TruBlueCowboy]

Lots of movies make me cry.

Star Wars Episode I - As soon as I discovered that it wasn't a nightmare, and this crappy sequel was going to be the movie we had waited 20 years for, I cried like a baby!

Charlie's Angels - The tears hit right about the point when their boss walked out with the sudden realization that not even the great Bill Murray could save this terrible flick. I started crying even more when the end credits flowed and I found out that the director was pompous enough to call himself "McG."

When I was a lad, I think I used to get misty-eyed over Old Yeller. But then I got older and adopted my own dog thinking he would be just as smart and loveable as Old Yeller. Wrong! I went through about ten cans of rug cleaner and animal-off trying to house train that stupid animal, and my god would it chew and eat anything! Batteries, razors, my cat's feces... if it took up space, it somehow found it's way into my dog's mouth! I think when I watch Old Yeller these days, I'm rooting for the farmer to shoot that damn dog.

Especially if you'd already read the book. :cool:

[Hoov]

I almost cried during matchstick men when Cage found out he had been scammed and the girl was not his daughter.

I did get a little teary eyed during treasure planet over the goodbye between Silver and Jim. That was a great movie....modern day animation film based off treasure island.
The animated films today are incredible, just as much for adults as kids.
