The link used to not go anywhere......old Fark joke.

Slime Queen-- I remember Cloak and Dagger-- used to watch it all the time.

I don't have a short list because I get choked up at lots of movies (just about everyone ya'll have mentioned that I have seen)

One I haven't seen listed is Bridget Jone's Diary. Not that I cried, but it did elicit an emotional response from me-- after the very last scene I jumped my husband.

I am an action movie person, I don't care how bad a movie is, I will watch it if I know some one will be shot, and I often cheer on the bad guy. I never watch chick flicks, but one time I saw 'Sleepless in Seattle' on TV, I was deeply moved, but no the point of crying.

Die Hard

I wanted to personally biatch slap Bruce Willis.

I got all teary eyed when Hans Gruber's plan literally fell out the window, with him in tow. Sad, truly sad.

I can't believe ordinary people isn't mentioned anywhere.

I watched American Beauty a couple of days ago. The scene in the end (SPOILER ALERT) where kevin spacey is feeling happy for the first time in a long while, is looking at a picture of his family, and then has his brains blown out. The sadness of his death, mixed with his happiness... it got to me... (END SPOILER)

Also a flick that just has got to be on this thread: The Wall by Pink Floyd. The music (which on itself always gets me down) is even stronger when put to film.

In Lawrence of Arabia, when Lorenz rides his camel out of the desert with the lost boy. Oh man.

The end of Dr Zhivago.

As far as reading goes, the end of The Solid Mandala by Patrick White.

I get a little misty in the eye every time I watch "The Sound of Music". The scene where "The Captain" tells Julie Andrews that he is in love with her...OK I admit it, for all the world to know!!

Wussies. You people aren't Farkers. You're imposters.
Oprah told her fan's about this posting before Farkers were aware it. That is the only explanation.

I'm going to go have a good a good cry. My favorite web site overrun by a bunch of wailers.

Oh, The Shawshank Redemption for sure.

Others that tug my heart strings are A Beautiful Mind, As Good As It Gets, The Color Purple, and Out of Africa.

Robert Redford was yummy in Out of Africa, and the scene where he's shampooing Meryl Streep's hair beside a creek is one of the most erotic scenes ever filmed.

The classic tear-jerker of all time is My Dog Skip. It's so sad that I'll never, never watch it again.

The Patriot! Dancer in the Dark was cruel and unusual punishment. That movie should be banned in civilized countries.

Carlito's way, Braveheart, Requeim for a dream, and when i was very young, i cried watching the Land before time when littlefoots mother died. And once were warriors is a bloody powerful movie.

Also last of the mohicans where the chick jumps off the waterfall, and when he has to shoot his mate who is getting burned alive

When my girlfriend and I watched "Jason's Lyric", she really bawled. So I tested it out on 3 other girls, (I get around) and they all cried too. For me, I have to look away at the end of "Braveheart" When he sees his wife in the crowd and smiles just tears a chunk out of me.

Dikkus: in clerks, the part where dante finds out that she's sucked 37 dicks...i dunno why, it just makes me bawl my eyes out



it makes me cry even more know that my ex DID suck 37 dicks

Chasing Amy one word...fingercuffs!

In Gummo, when the kid with the bowed-out chest who kills cats for the Chinese restaurant dude is about to leave that retarded prostitute girl who likes cherries, all kinds of cherries, and he touches her on the nose. Every time, I just sob.

Seriously, I've got something wrong with me and haven't been able to cry in almost five years, so wet eyes have to count here: In The Natural when Redford finds redemption with an out-of-the-park, lights-busting, musical-score-swelling, game-winning hit. *goosebumps right now, even* In AI (fine, kill me)when the kid finally sees the Blue Fairy, and when he gets reunited with his Mom. In Michael Mann's The Last of the Mohicans when the grief-stricken sickly sister lets herself fall off the mountain. In To Kill A Mockingbird, when Scout is sitting with Atticus at Jem's bedside and notices Boo cowering in the shadow of the door. I really get moved thinking about lots of scenes in that movie, such as when Jem describes how he'd found his pants folded neatly on the fence where they'd tangled, and when Atticus is on the front porch listening to Scout ask Jem about their mom as they're falling asleep. There's a great special edition with interviews and such that I rented awhile back.

Oh yeah, one more: Again, in Gummo, where the two cat-killing kids have penetrated the room of their gay kid competitor's soiled grandmother. The older one shoots her in the foot with the BB gun to make sure she's out of it before pulling the plug on her machine. As they leave, the kid with the bowed-out chest pulls the BB out from between her toes. You gotta love Hollywood. I mean, Ohio.

The two films that always get me:

"Rudy" when runs on to the field during the final game and gets to live out his dream.

"Say Anything" Your just not human if you don't get choked up when he's standing there holding the radio.

i had to comment on this one, because i have one that everyone usually laughs at... i cried at the end of 'cool runnings'... you know, the one about the jamaican bobsled team with john candy? yep. i'm 22 yr male. :D

In Gummo, when the kid with the bowed-out chest who kills cats for the Chinese restaurant dude is about to leave that retarded prostitute girl who likes cherries, all kinds of cherries, and he touches her on the nose. Every time, I just sob.

Next time you see Gummo, look for a piece of bacon taped to the wall when the kid's in the bathtub.

Also, Dumbo might still bring a tear to my eye.

Titanic came pretty close, but not as close as Dead Poet's Society, at the end when they all stand on their chairs... neither made me cry, but as close as I've come to crying during a movie.

Hmm, that doesn't look like bacon.

Pay it Forward. When the kid... maybe you haven't seen it...

I'm a known Chick Flick addict, though. Pesky pay-per-view ruined me as a man!

Definately Anne of Green Gables

Braveheart

My all-time favorite movie...An Affair to Remember with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. I must have seen it a hundred times and I still cry at the end when he finds out she can't walk. "If it had to happen to one of us, why DID it have to be you?" *sigh*

Mine is The Goodbye Girl with Marsha Mason, Richard Dreyfuss, and Quinn Cummings. I'm also very fond of Deskset, The African Queen, and My Fair Lady

These are all great ones, and it's hard to beat, but a few I haven't heard from others yet:

Grave of the Fireflies, anime: It freakin' destroys me everytime. I can't buy it, otherwise I'll force too many others to watch....

Blue with Juliette Binoche, foreign flick: getting struck by music in your mind, sometimes at the worst moments, and knowing the horrors of life, while trying to be a good person. A little too real for me...

Ran, Akira Kurosawa: while the story has been told in other ways, the style and acting is still one of the best i have ever seen. The true sadness/madness is gripping till the end..

and those already mentioned....

in your eyes in "Say Anything": I loved the song first, but after watching the movie, and learning that john cusak could act sometimes, made high school bearable... and the dope helped...


The Fisher King, Robin Williams and Terry Gilliam: "the botched and bungled" will stay with me for a long time... saw it as a free sneak a hell of along time ago, still wanted to pay...

Last of the Mohicans. How could I leave that out? That movie is passionate and vibrant. As my mom pointed out several years ago, there is very little dialogue in that movie; most everything is portrayed through expression and music. It is acting at its finest. I was 12 years old when I saw it the first time, and I would have let Daniel Day Lewis save me anytime he wanted to. *LOL*

The scene where the sister jumps off the cliff is very moving, but there is also the part before that where the wannabe-suitor sacrifices himself to save the protagonist. For most of the movie, the guy is arrogant, desperate to earn her heart, and just loses her to some "savage." And in the end, he offers his life to the Indians for hers. At least he mercifully is shot before he catches fire...

What a topic to start me on...

The English patient--when he pushes all the morphine bottles towards her, and she starts bawling and preparing them. *sniff*

And Schindlers list. goes without saying, I guess.

Shadowlands.--when all the professors ask about his wife and he loses it. ahhh! *sniff*

and for some reason, what dreams may come really did me in too. Which I really to this day don't understand.
Kymry

Where the red fern groes always got me as a kid

Too many to mention: but here are a few

Chick movies I dig:

Kate and Leopold
Fried Green Tomatoes
Mystic Pizza
Serendipity
etc....

Criers:
Braveheart
Shindlers List (like a little girl)
Saving Private Ryan
My Life
Moulin Rouge

Almost Criers:
John Q
Shallow Hal (Laugh now)
The Patriot

"Where the red fern "GROWS" got me a little worse though

Bigpeeler--Come on over! I all ready have it. I saw the poster for sale once at an antique place and I would have absolutely killed to have it. But it was $1100.

"...I knew there must be something between us, even if it's only an ocean."

yeah, "Black Hawk Down...though i wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure. but damn, at the end when that letter is being read...holy shiat.

actual guilty pleasure movies i get misty over
Godzilla the original or the remake...he's just doing what comes naturally..why do they have to kill him?

What Dreams May Come yeah...just a sap.

Moulin Rouge...see above
and of course
Old Yeller who hasn't cried at the end of this? you're heartless

can we mention tv series?

Babylon 5-when marcus sacrifices himself to save Ivanova (sp)

The movie that came to my mind immediately is Men Don't Leave, with Jessica Lange and Joan Cusack. I can see right through all the manipulation and I still get chokey.

I didn't cry watching Princess Bride, but maybe a little reading it.

Gotta admit... The only movie I recall crying at was Mel Gibson's Braveheart. Really hit me.

</sappiness>

It's hard to come up with any that haven't already been mentioned, but LuckyPierre seems to be the only one to have mentioned Pay It Forward. I don't know about everyone else, but the end of that movie put a big 'ol lump in my throat.

Actually, Bigpeeler, I think we talked about Gummo once before, last winter. I am a devoted fan, and pretty much stand alone as such. I used to have a couple of like-minded friends and would torture other folk by throwing Gummo Parties. I think mostly people were too freaked out by it, or too freaked out at their own attraction to it. Anyway, yeah, poignancy on a super-shiatty backdrop is a favorite theme of mine for art (and life) in general. I can't believe what I just read in your post about it, man. That's awesome. I could go on and on and on about that movie. One last thing, though. I had talked a friend of mine into renting it. Days later I was at a Christmas party where I overheard this other guy, "Oh my god, I saw the most awful movie over at Jason's the other day. There were these two boys..." then he went on for at least ten minutes describing in excellent detail the different parts, the whole time protesting what an awful movie it was.

Hytes Xian & BigPeeler,
"Gummo" is the worst piece of shiat I have ever seen. That movie made me cry from the pain it put in my bowels.

I have seen a lot of classics mentioned but I will name,one that will bring tears to your eyes and will definitely scare the crap out of you, especially with what is going on in thw world today: Testament
