i'll start.

stardust. the part where yvayne confesses to mouse-tristan in the carriage. 10/10 A+

garden state (SHUT UP OK). pretty much the whole last 30 minutes of it are a nonstop weepfest for me.

trust. the very last scene. the music, the imagery, the conclusion to the events leading up to it... absolute perfection. gold soundz.

you?

The only time I've cried during a movie was when I was a lad and I saw the Pokemon movie. Truly, it tugged at my heartstrings.

Ladybug · « **Reply #2 on:** 11 Sep 2008, 05:56 »

I always cry at the end of Pay It Forward. Can't help it.

There are (several) other movies that have made me cry, but that's the one I can think of now that does it every time.

Even at 15 I wept like a baby to the end of E.T when he says goodbye to Elliot.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #4 on:** 11 Sep 2008, 07:46 »

I think I've said this before, but the only time I actually cried was the end of Kazaam. I was six years old. I'm not entirely sure I knew what was happening. The end of A.I: Artificial Intelligence was also pretty heavy, but I didn't cry.

I thought I was the only one who got teary eyed over the Pokemon movie...

Big Fish made me cry, and Brokeback Mountain I can't watch without a box of Kleenex next to me. I think Hotel Rwanda made me cry as well a bit.

I can't think of any others off the top of my head. I don't watch a lot of movies to begin with, and I generally tend to avoid movies that I know will make me cry. I mean, if I want to cry I'll just go ahead and cry.

There are only two that manage it consistently:

Dead Poets Society and Patch Adams

Bella
Finding Neverland

Into the Wild

Every goddamn time, without fail.

Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List are both movies that pretty actively attempt to get the waterworks going. I saw SPR in the theater when I was a young'un and I was the only person there not crying, probably, what with the old people. I just wanted more milk duds. As I've gotten older it's gotten more effective at getting its hooks into me.

When Tom Hanks loses Wilson in Cast Away, that got to me. Man, fuck Steven Spielberg, for real.

I almost cried at the end of King of Kong. Not King Kong, mind you, though I did cry when I was a kid cuz why did the monkey have to die.

Big Ghetto Asses 4.

~~The episode where Frieza kills Krillin~~
Control, and Yi Yi get me going pretty consistently. I think the time I watched Serenity immediately after finishing Firefly for the first time, I teared up a bit. Also: La Regle du jeu.

Transformers. When Optimus dies.

ThePQ4 · « **Reply #12 on:** 11 Sep 2008, 17:35 »

Beaches. When Barbara Hershey's character dies at the endish...goddamn. First movie I ever cried during.
Mighty Joe Young. I have no explination for this... But when you think Joe has died, falling off of the ferris wheel or whatever, I just had tears running down my face.

There were a couple of others i cried during, but I don't remember what...those are the two I always remember. I am more likely to cry while reading a book.

I cried six times when I first saw Wall-E but that is because I am a miserably lonely fuck

Oh, I also cried when I saw the Dark Knight for the second time when the Lamborghini gets crashed into :[

imapiratearg · « **Reply #15 on:** 11 Sep 2008, 19:57 »

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Not only is the movie absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking, it's got sentimental value on top of that. Man, the "Meet me in Montauk," scene is gorgeous.

Brokeback Mountain nearly made me cry. The only reason it didn't is because I thought it was going to make me do it a half an hour earlier than the movie ended. It was so slowly paced.

Can't think of any more right now, though.

cgarci21 · « **Reply #16 on:** 11 Sep 2008, 20:06 »

Atonement.
Maybe it that James McAvoy that does it...?

American History X and Casshern are the only movies I can think of right now that have made me seriously cry.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #20 on:** 11 Sep 2008, 20:17 »

American History X? Really? I never found that to be much of a tearjerker. I can understand why you'd cry, I just never felt all that upset.

Oh god. Grave of the Fireflies. Evil, evil movie.

De_El · « **Reply #22 on:** 11 Sep 2008, 20:37 »

Grave of the Fireflies never made me cry so much as just sucked out my soul and left me feeling hollow for quite a while.

It hurts to watch, but at the same time it is a really beautiful film.

It's like scraping your knees. It hurts, but it's good for you. It's just instead of your knees, it's your heart. And instead of a scrape, it's more of a gouge.

I guarantee you will not want to watch it twice, though.

thehollow · « **Reply #26 on:** 11 Sep 2008, 21:44 »

Edward Scissorhands is probably the only movie that's made me really cry in a long time. There's definitely been others that have made me come close, though.

Yes. Also, Grave of the Fireflies had me blubbering like Ray Smuckles.

Jackie Blue · « **Reply #28 on:** 11 Sep 2008, 23:29 »

Grave of the Fireflys didn't even come close to making me cry. It's a pretty good film but something about its execution is bothersome.

Control, I don't know how I forgot that one. Definitely.

While I have come to reconcile my prior distaste of Brokeback Mountain and the extremely questionable nature of its characters and message (for one, I think that it is entirely false, or at least ludicrously simplistic, to say that it is a film about two gay men), I can't imagine crying over it. I do now agree that it's a good film, but I fucking hate talking about it with most people.

Since I came off medication I cry at pretty much every movie ever now. Memorable recent examples include Wall:E, The Dark Knight and the Rugrats Movie. Recent in that I saw them, I mean.

I think the first film I saw that made me really lose it was the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds... (SPOILERS??) the scene where they lose the car shocked something pretty depe down inside of me, that whole kind of "Wow people are dicks to each other" moment was something I probably connected with a little too strongly and it honestly broke me apart.

I can't watch Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet without spending most of the second act in tears, either. Movies totally emasculate me.

Sorry maybe i missed something - but how is scraping your knees good for you? All i know is it is very very Hurty.

and too add my newbish two cents that no one really wants to hear but it had to happen sometime so it might as well be now...

Titanic. Scene with the old couple dying together. In my defense I was much younger then. But I haven't watched it since.

The Devil and Daniel Johnston, not while I was watching it, but later when I was thinking about it and listening to his music. I haven't watched that movie since either, and I own it.

Not a movie, but the end of Six Feet Under made me cry for almost an hour. Along with several other scenes (you know which ones they are SFU fans).

Also of all things an episode of Monk made me cry recently. Talk about embarrassing.

When I was a wee-little one, this Disney Channel cartoon movie called All Dogs Go to Heaven made me cry and babble about the awful things in the world I didn't understand.

That's actually not a Disney movie, but whatever.

To get the full effect of it I'm sure you have to have a close relationship with a brother, like I do.

RENT, without fail (I know it's practically blasphemy to watch the movie rather than the stage show, etc, etc, I still watch it)
The Pianist
The las two episodes of Cowboy Bebop, which I haven't actually watched in about a year because they are just too painful for me (I'm pretty hopeless when it comes to that series)
Any movie in which a pet or animal dies. I really can't handle that.

He steals from me, so I guess that's why I didn't care.

I cried at the end of Dark Knight, and at the middle, oh and I guess we through in beginning for good measure or something.
My friend makes fun of me for it but at least I didn't cry in Rent like she did.

That being said - I don't cry in movies...like, I get close, and kind of...sad...but I never cry. Green Mile got me pretty close...

I was watching that on Encore the other day, and it entirely caught me off guard and i was crying into my afternoon breakfast cereal before I even knew what was going on. Its those father son moments that really get me, makes me want to hunt down and hug my dad wherever he is. Also, I mean, all of it together the second half of it just came out of left field for me.

Other than that I don't really cry at movies.

I've seen it four times....willingly. It's a great movie, sure the animation is dated...but who really cares about that when the movie itself is incredible. What's great though, is lending it out to other people and their reaction when they give it back to you.

Schindler's List
Sansho the Bailiff
American History X doesn't quite make me cry...but damn if it doesn't get pretty damn close.

axerton · « **Reply #48 on:** 17 Sep 2008, 04:53 »

There aren't any movies that have made me cry that I can think of, however off the top of my head I can think of at least 3 TV shows that have done it to me.
Scrubs has broken me twice. First, season 3 my screw up. second, season 5 my lunch.
The Second last episode of Ashes to Ashes when Sharron was stabbed
And recently an episode of Boston Legal got to me, when Shirley had her father euthanised

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #49 on:** 18 Sep 2008, 10:40 »

Okay, I went through a long list of movies I've seen to remember if I had an emotional reaction to them or not on the sobby wishy washy level. Not much until I remembered the Last Unicorn, which overall is a very cheesy animated film overall, but there's a couple parts of it that make me moist around the eyeballs. Oh, and if we're going by TV shows the episode with Fry's dog. That episode's ending makes me want to kill myself.
