Films that make you cry

[Dillinger4]

I had to run out. I enter a kind of emotional limbo straight after a film finishes at the cinema. I cope better at home because I can bawl and bawl, but at the pictures I have to be all reserved, so I can't speak for a while. That means I have to get busy with getting my things together and leaving. Provides me with adequate time to pull myself together

I noticed.



I was still in the film for a minute or two after it finished. In a daze.

I was in love a bit like that once.

*sigh*

BEACHES!! my favourite shameful film

Oooo VP! This is a whole story I have not told you yet. I reckon it will make you cry a bit again!

Its all very sad.

 

[PursuedByBears]

The film of Judge Dredd makes me cry tears of rage that someone had the opportunity to make that film and so comprehensively fucked it up.

 

[zoooo]

Deer Hunter.

But pretty much any film can make me cry. Titanic even.

 

[Reno]

The Ghost and Mrs Muir
The Iron Giant
You Can Count on Me
Imitation of Life
Vertigo
The Thin Red Line
The Elephant Man
The Night of San Lorenzo
The Woman Next Door
E.T.

Empire of the Sun

I think that brought me close to tears too. It was only recently that I started crying at films at all.

Rewatching the Plague Dogs had me in floods of tears.

As did rewatching the first part of If These Walls Could Talk Two.

That sounds confusing; there's a film called If These Walls Could Talk, which is three different short films about three different generations of women living in the same house, and then there's another film also about three generations of women living in the same house at different periods of time, who all happen to be lesbians. The first story is one of the most moving pieces of film I've ever seen.

Then I watched The Investigator, about a female soldier, and cried at the end (it's available to watch online, but isn't for sale in the shops or anywhere else).

A well-made miserable movie is surprisingly enjoyable!

I'm one of the few people I know who would admit to liking that film. The scene where the old man and woman lie down to die together - waaah! Mostly because I knew that this happened to real people and I'd read about them when I was at junior school.

 

[PursuedByBears]

More seriously, probably Old Boy and Watership Down.

 

[Private Storm]

Dead Poet's Society.

No idea why. Possibly 'cos they stand on the desks and I know that isn't allowed.

 

[Dillinger4]

I can't watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and to a lesser extent, The Science of Sleep and Lost in Translation.

They do more than make me cry.

Yes, that bit. And for me, Jack sinking away forever down into the sea did it.
So embarrassing.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

science of sleep made me well up
garden state made me blub! i was drinking cider while i watched it, that might be related

 

[Firky]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Science of Sleep
(spot the pattern)
Plague Dogs

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Once Were Warriors. Every time.

Don't watch it much now, I cry.

But so does real life...often

 

[scifisam]

Once Were Warriors. Every time.

Oh yes. Good blubbing one, that.

 

[lenny101]

The only film I have ever cryed over is 'It's a Beautiful Life'. The girl I was going out with at the time got it out in video thinking it was a romcom. I sat down expecting some American high school romantic bollox and instead got a story about a concentration camp.

Amazing movie.

 

[Antoine]

The most I've ever cried over a film is when I watched Schindlers list just after reading a load about the holocaust. I still can't get my head around that it really happened

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Goodbye Lenin caused me to shed a few tears.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Shawshank Redemption
Truman Show
as a kid I remember crying at the book of Charlotte's Web but never saw the fillum.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

ha ha ha!
I was glad to see the back of his marry poppins era brtish accent

But then he came back in Angel

 

[DotCommunist]

Has anyone mentioned Leaving Las Vegas? It didn't make me cry, but did make me very sad

 

[CharlieAddict]

i'm a big sucker for sports film.

Rocky Balboa - made me cry. i tried not to, but that scene when he gets up in the final round...gee...couldn't help it.

For the Love of the Game - kevin costner as an ageing baseball player against the young gun in the end. cried like a blubba in that.

The Champ - don't think i need an explanation for this one.

 

[May Kasahara]

The Iron Giant

Mr K bought me this as a present some years ago, and I've never watched it. He now thinks it was a shit present, when actually I've never watched it because I know it will make me really sad

Truly, Madly, Deeply has always been the quickest route to tears for me. I saw it quite soon after my mum had died, and of course it instantly resonated with me. The bit where she's playing the piano and the camera pans round and you see him in the corner playing the cello, and then she turns round and can't believe it but he's really there...sobville.

I don't dare watch it now. Too much

 

[Reno]

I don't understand people who won't watch a film which will make them cry. I find it quite cathartic having a bit of a bawl during a film.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

What films make you cry?
I like really sad, torturous, miserable films much more than i like comedies so what would you recommend?

You want torturous and miserable? Lilya 4-Ever

Oh god - Truly, Madly, Deeply has me howling. I used to love it but I don't think it would be sensible for me to watch it again just yet.

I've bought the Iron Giant for the kids for Christmas. Was that a bad move? I'm getting worried now.
