Mine (not in any particular order): - Forrest Gump (scene when he misses Jenny, and scene when he meets his son) - Kolya (when Kolya cries for his grandma) - Sweet Hereafter (slow-motion scene when the school bus plunges thru the ice, as a father of a couple of the kids looks on in horror) - Gladiator (the ending, when he goes to Erithia to meet his wife and son) - 21 Grams (when the mother loses it while holding her daughter's shoes) - I am Sam (a few good scenes throughout)

The Terminal: When he reads the news of his country under attack, and can barely make out what is going out, enclosed in the huge airport, having known nothing. Both these movies were kinda tear jerkers for me :)

Jessica Rank : 39	Posted : 1 year, 2 months ago at May 7 20:38 - Old Yeller for sure! Haven't seen it in years, but it always made me cry. Can't think of any others at the moment:) This week's episode of Supernatural made me cry:)
Lil Sex Kitten XXX Rank : 1621	Posted : 1 year, 2 months ago at May 8 3:57 - Titanic - When Jack dies and Rose lets him go under the water that gets me even to this day and i know its going to happen. Edward Scissorhands - At the end x
Uber VIP Rank : 29	Posted : 1 year, 2 months ago at May 8 4:28 - Passion of The Christ - Lots of times during that movie End of the Spear - At the end when Steve Saint has Mincayani spear Grave of the Fireflies - At the end, both for sadness and happiness
Prelude VIP Moderator Rank : 2	Posted : 11 months, 4 weeks ago at Aug 2 11:18 - Sicko a bunch of times throughout, actually. it's friggin' hard to watch someone talk about how they lost a child or a spouse...
Asho Rank : 229	Posted : 11 months, 4 weeks ago at Aug 2 18:34 - Cruel Intentions: Every single time that Bitter Sweet Symphony starts playing at the end.
Prelude VIP Moderator Rank : 2	Posted : 11 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 9 9:40 - Another one - Mystic River. that one really hits the spot when the dad finds out his daughter has been murdered.
Voxy Moderator Rank : 9	Posted : 11 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 9 9:58 - As a romantic: The Notebook - When they become elderly and lay down together in the home. Pretty in Pink - When Molly's character confronts McCarthy's at school. Also: Hotel Rwanda - about 80% of the movie. And a movie that should have made me cry, but didn't: We Are Marshall ... that movie was disappointing. Truth be told... I'm a big cryer. I am incredibly empathetic, so the moment someone on screen tears up, I'm crying with them. It's incredibly embarrassing.
Scar Rank : 367	Posted : 11 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 9 13:04 - I NEVER cry! And yet, one movie always gets me close: Deep Impact.
Prelude VIP Moderator Rank : 2	Posted : 11 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 9 13:26 - yeah, Deep Impact had some good moments. I loved that film so much more than that Hollywood flubber 'Armageddon'. The scene where the astronaut talks to his wife 'n' child via live conference call, just before they decide to sacrifice themselves to save the world, that usually gets me.
Deleted Rank : 32848	Posted : 11 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 9 21:33 - Dumbo is pretty sad up until the end. I watch this one constantly with this non-verbal autistic boy. It's one of his favorites. I think my favorite part is the "Elephants on Parade" scene. This is another movie about a lost child, where Mrs. Jumbo gets locked up just for defending her son.
Prelude VIP Moderator Rank : 2	Posted : 11 months, 3 weeks ago at Aug 9 21:51 - I loved Elephants on Parade. Made me want to try that 'alcohol' to see if i'd have as much fun as dumbo. lol
robelanator VIP Rank : 91	Posted : 11 months, 2 weeks ago at Aug 10 15:09 - I've never actually cried during a movie (yet), but I've gotten close on a few... The whole last act of Million Dollar Baby got to me pretty good. The end of Limelight was touching, and Chaplin was always a pretty masterfully manipulative melodramatic filmmaker (see City Lights, Modern Times, The Kid, etc). Speaking of melodrama, William Wyler's version of Wuthering Heights is chock full of heart wrenching moments thanks to the brilliant performance of Lawrence Olivier. It's a crime that this movie isn't available on DVD here in the US. Carlito's Way managed to surprise me even though the ending is revealed literally at the beginning of the film. Pacino's closing monologue, the slow-mo first-person camera, everything about that final scence is really wonderful. And, of course, there's Dancer in the Dark. Even though I thought it was brilliant, it took me a few years before I was willing to watch it a second time because it was so darned depressing.

Prelude VIP Moderator Rank : 2	Posted : 11 months, 2 weeks ago at Aug 11 6:11 - I've been meaning to see Dancer in the Dark, but kept away for that same reason.
Prelude VIP Moderator Rank : 2	Posted : 11 months ago at Aug 24 22:02 - um, yeah, just finished watching 'Reign over me' haha, never knew I'd be trying to control the floodworks during an Adam Sandler performance, but damn... beautiful film. I'll review it shortly.
Vix Rank : 79	Posted : 11 months ago at Aug 24 22:30 - Sense and Sensibility when Elinor rages at Marianne saying "What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering...." - gets me every single time. And also The Joy Luck Club. I can hold back the tears but at the end, I can't help but bawl.
Munky Rank : 12	Posted : 11 months ago at Aug 24 23:02 - Born Free. Seen it tons of times and always cry at the end. Also, Mandy Moore's A Walk to Remember. That movie was just ridiculously full of sad moments.
Voxy Moderator Rank : 9	Posted : 11 months ago at Aug 25 8:35 - Prelude, I teared up just during the trailer for that movie when I realized why the character was the way he was. Tough subject. Vix, good one! Love those period romance and they always get me, too.
Prelude VIP Moderator Rank : 2	Posted : 11 months ago at Aug 25 9:06 - voxy, the movie is hard to watch, but oddly enough still has lots of cute and funny moments. but when he first opens up and starts talking about what he misses about is wife and each of his 3 daughters, man, it was tough to hold back. great movie, and i'm impressed that Sandler pulled off such an emotional and hard role.
chuckmuck Rank : 17	Posted : 11 months ago at Aug 25 13:16 - I cry often during movies but the ones that came to mind right away were Finding Neverland, Everything Is Illuminated, Garden State and The Man Who Cried

Vix Rank : 79	Posted : 11 months ago at Aug 26 20:27 - @ Munky: Completely forgot about A Walk To Remember. Oh and another Nicholas Spark's adaptation: Message In A Bottle.
Midnight VIP Rank : 13	Posted : 10 months, 4 weeks ago at Aug 31 2:14 - The end of Finding Nemo gets me going oh and Neverending Story when Atreyu loses his horse Artax. I know there's more but I can't think of them.

jbrickzin Rank : 10065	Posted : 7 months, 1 week ago at Dec 20 5:09 - Il mare - korean Movie
Grand Assault Rank : 8	Posted : 7 months, 1 week ago at Dec 20 5:34 - Terminator 2 - I cried like a baby. Also the Korean film Brotherhood (Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War) caught me off guard at the end and I had a pretty large lump in my throat. It was a very emotional finale.
Deleted Rank : 32848	Posted : 7 months, 1 week ago at Dec 20 5:43 - What type of tears are we jerking here? I didn't cry, but Pursuit of Happyness is pretty inspiring. Oh, and don't forget the Death Wish movies where he keeps racking up animate and yet deceased loved ones, even though he doesn't shed a tear!
Prelude VIP Moderator Rank : 2	Posted : 7 months, 1 week ago at Dec 20 6:51 - T2? which part? It's been a while since I've seen it, but I don't remember any scenes that might choke me up.
Grand Assault Rank : 8	Posted : 7 months, 1 week ago at Dec 20 7:46 - The ending! When the T-800 lowers himself into the molten metal, giving one last thumbs up to John. Oh it's all coming back :'(
nono Rank : 82	Posted : 7 months, 1 week ago at Dec 20 9:56 - I cry very easily! I'm not kidding. I even cried once when I was watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, when Charlie got the golden ticket. Sad moments in movies drain my tear supply. ;_;
stormrhyder Rank : 56	Posted : 7 months ago at Dec 23 18:39 - there are only a handful of movies that made me cry - Lost & Delirious, A Walk to Remember and Phantom of the Opera - never fail to 'jerk the tears' no matter how many times i watch them... :D
Dream Rank : 758	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at May 2 23:27 - Air Bud - when the boy is telling his dog to run away. :( gets me everytime. Moulin Rouge - When Satine dies in Christians arms. The Notebook - When she remembers then forgets him when their dancing. Step Up - When Skinny gets shot. theres other movies but ive forgotten.
Flash Rank : 92	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at May 3 0:56 - Another one popped into my brain pan. Field of Dreams when Costner gets to play ball with his dad. Love it!
Deleted Rank : 32848	Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago at May 3 6:55 - The movie that I have watched multiple times over the years and still makes me cry each time I see it is My Life with Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman. And also, Steel Magnolias ...that one gets me every time as well.

Mr. Lays Rank : 831	Posted : 2 months, 2 weeks ago at May 6 18:09 - T2:Judgement Day DreamCatcher T2 just at the very end when Arnold slowly desends into the fire...with his thumb up like it feels great like a warm bath. DreamCatcher b/c of Duttis. The character knew that what he did would cost him his life and was not unnerved about it at all. Maybe I am just a big softee really.
PvtCaboose91 Rank : 22	Posted : 2 months, 2 weeks ago at May 11 7:18 - Downfall I cried a few times during this film. It was very powerful and very tragic. The Elephant Man I cried constantly. I got goose-bumps whenever John Merrick said something. It's a tragic but brilliant movie.
Dionysian Child Rank : 93	Posted : 2 months, 2 weeks ago at May 11 8:00 - Deep Impact It doesn't matter how many times I see it, and how cheesy it is. Finding Neverland I sobbed throughout and was left with a sense of loss for days afterwards.
nataliegoes Rank : 41	Posted : 2 months, 1 week ago at May 13 8:44 - As the "Queen of Sad Movies", I'm glad to see Finding Neverland was mentioned several times. I love to cry, the same way most people love scary movies or thrillers (which I don't particularly like). My "go to" movie, when I want a good cry is always Four Weddings and a Funeral. I can practically quote every line and start to tear up even before the sad part, because I know it's coming. Others I recommend are The Cure, Sliding Doors, The Little Princess, Six Weeks, Somewhere in Time, and the most melodramatic claptrap ever, but makes me ball for hours is It's My Party. Just to name a few.
JOKER Rank : 440	Posted : 2 months, 1 week ago at May 15 15:31 - there are really sad movies out there.
ghostbuster164 Rank : 330	Posted : 2 months, 1 week ago at May 15 15:38 - ya me to
JOKER Rank : 440	Posted : 2 months, 1 week ago at May 15 15:48 - it was sad when people died.
The Mighty Celestial Rank : 4703	Posted : 1 month, 2 weeks ago at Jun 5 16:51 - I have to admit that, as a guy, I don't have too many. But here are a rare few that can make me misty. 5. Streetwise - A documentary with an emotionally wrenching ending, because it's real life & not a script. This film focuses those who are easily forgotten & brings to the surface their reality & all the drama & emotion that the world of escapism entertainment can never really compare to. 4. Fried Green Tomatoes - I like mine with a touch of salt & a dash of tabasco sauce. 3. Whale Rider - The main character in this movie triumphs over the ages old belief that in order to be a chieftain, one must be a male. And in the process, she makes both that old tradition and a whale her b#tchez. Girl Power! 2. Bridges of Madison County - A truly romantic story of how the escapist fantasy high/feeling that initially results with falling in love must eventually be realistically dealt with as the conditions & responsibilities of one's current situation come quickly creeping back in. I once heard that, in the context of human history, couples pairing up for the sake of true love is still relatively young. We as a species over-all , have not evolved enough yet to be able to deal & accept each other in a manner that would be considered as unconditional love ( which is the only real love). And it is because of this that the world population has yet been unable to formulate an effective means of discussion that would truly begin a process of unity between it's racial, social & gender factions. And maybe this is why so many of us make decisions more for the sake of security, emotionally as well as socially & financially . Decisions that may impede on our ability to follow our hearts & therefore sway us , individually and socially, from a path that would lead us to true love before it's too late. 1. Joy Luck Club - I was supposed to take my girlfriend at the time to go see this movie, but she was one of those type of girls that in order to get attention, whenever I would call her to tell her that I was on my way to pick her up, she would always tell me to come right over, but that she couldn't guarantee that she would still wanta to go out when I arrived, cuz as always 4 her, she was feelin' like she was comin' down with some sort of sickness or somethin'. So, on this day, I had decided to that I had had enough, called her on her bluff, & then told her to that we would just skip the whole thing & she can stay home & get better ( what she actually wanted was for me to go "Aww, you poor thing!" & come over & "baby" her eyes roll). So then, I went to go see this movie by myself, just to p#ss her off. By the time this stunningly moving Oliver Stone epic-fare was over, I could feel that my eyes had actually become substantially watered. Right there & then, I knew that my relationship with my girlfriend was over. Cuz no one makes me cry my own tears. No one.
