Thread: Movies you cried at (GUYS ONLY PLEASE)

O.K tough guy's maybe you didn't cry, but how about movies that put a lump in your throat.

Definitely "Empire of the Sun" (1987) -- Christian Bale was amazing as a kid trying to survive w/out his family in a Japanese prisoner of war camp during World War II. Still gets me every time I see the scene when he finally finds his parents at the end of the war.

"Lady Sings The Blues" (1972) - The drug addiction scene and the end where Diana Ross as Billie Holiday is singing "My Man" and "God Bless the Child" as clippings about how she can't beat the addiction, gets denied a cabaret license and dies at 44 fade up to the screen.

"For A Lost Soldier" (1993) - A Dutch movie about a boy in World War II who is shipped off to the country during the Nazi occupation and befriends an older Canadian soldier who is in the unit that liberates their village.

"Mrs. Miniver" and "The Best Years of Our Lives" when I saw them the first time. WWII flicks...one about the courage of a British family during the Nazi bombing during the Battle of Britain, and the other a classic tale about three returning soldiers who have found their towns and families have changed.

Damn...I AM an oldster...

Braveheart
Greenmile (Damn that Pursy steppen on Mr. Jangles. Pisses me off.)
Roman Holiday
Saving Private Ryan
Drawing a blank...................Prefontain. That's all I got.

I cried during Dare Devil because I wanted my 6.50 back. LOL

I can't say as if I've ever cried, but I have gotten that 'lump' in my throat and teared up before.

Good military movies, as previously mentioned.
I remember some TV movie that touched a bit too close to home (the way I am, or want to be) and it caught me.

Wholly cow that is a really tuff quesiton. I'm worse then a pregnant woman who's hormones leves are all wacked out. I'm very sensative and squirt a few all to frequently. I think I even dropped a few the other day watching an episode of Live with Regis and Kelly. NO shit seriously I did! It's true, it's true! Would I lie about that?

The Pianist... God... After EVERYTHING he had been through and then when the german officer has him play... immediately i felt an overwhelming sense of emotion... i thought it was one of the most beautiful moments i have experienced in a movie... you can see the anguish on the officer's face, and the beautiful music he produces with that piano is such an incredible contrast from his appearance from living in gutters and eating trash... I could write about it for hours... but, i suggest experiencing it for yourself...

Truly moving, truly beautiful... I highly recommend it if you want to appreciate your life just a little bit more...

I can't believe you said that movie!! At 1st I didn't think it was all that great a flick to slow for my usual liking for a military film but damn that was an awesome film. I must admit, I didn't cry to this one but I totally enjoyed the scene you speak of.

I didnt cry but i came close towards the end of "John Q" when Denzel's son thanks him and than flexes. I was watching it with some friends so they make fun of me for that now.

What

Here is one I cried at several times in the film.
"Imitation of Life" Staring Lana Turner I cried like a baby when Annie the house maid and long time friend died. Oh man. Depresses me to even think of it again.

BRIAN'S SONG Starring James Caan. True story about friendship with Gale Sayers Oh man I get choked up just thinking abou this one.

LOVE STORY STARRING Ali McGraw. oh man again I balled like a baby when she died.

STEPMOM Starring Susan Surrandon and Julia Roberts was another one that got me right in the heart.

GHOST: Demi Moore and Patric Swayzie (spelling) That had some good tear jerking go on in there too.

The Original "Of Mice and Men" Starring Burgess Merideth as George.

E.T.

Brain's Song. great movie. its been awhile sence ive seen it but i think i did cry durring this one.

THE CALL OF THE WILD STARRING CLARK GABLE.

*****************************

THE CHAMP: Original film Victor McGlaughlin played the champ, Jackie Cooper played his little son. Get the whole box of tissues for these two films.
The CHAMP: (Remake) Starring John Voight outstanding for a remake of the original but I still loved the original better. Victor makes you feel for him much more I believe and Jackie Cooper (one of the little rascals) played the part brilliantly. I even cried at this one as a kid myself.

OLD YELLER Starring a doggy. Oh man dead doggies get me every damn time. oh man. sob

E.T. you had to cry when the foreigner almost died.

Also and i know im gonna get burned for this one, But "My Girl" when the kid dies from the bee stings. I was young and it made me sad.

Beaches starring Bette Midler and umm somebody else really good. When the someone else dies at the end it is a real tear jerker.


WEll that is my list for now. If I can think of anymore more movies worthy of posting, I'll be sure to do so.

Beeches. isnt bloosom in that movie

No no no man your not getting burned by me.. .YES I saw that years ago also and I felt the same way. I hate seeing things happen to children


I even cried in that horrible scary movie by Steven King: Pet Semetary when the that little cute boy was hit by the Truck and seeing him in his little suit laid out in the coffin, I cried like a little baby uncontrollably.....maybe it effected me so badly because I had a son that age when I saw it. My boy is older then that now though but it just gets ya when you have kids of your own.

i dont remember crying at any movie.............

yeah that part in pet semetary is pretty sad. I have a cousin about the age of cage in that movie and the kid looks just like him. it kinda freaks me out

PAY IT FORWARD Starring: Haley Joel Osment (boy from the 6th sense), Helen Hunt, & Kevin Spacey

cute story and a very very sad ending. The ending is the only thing that got me.

Terms of Endearment with Shirley Maclaine and Debra Winger you have to shed a tear or two when Shirelys sister dies and her friends are close by for support.
