NOPE THE KEIRA KNIGHTLEY VERSION. DO YOU FEEL A TYPE OF WAY???

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a young woman with a preference for the Keira Knightley version must be in want of correctness.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Now there's a film whose trailer was better than the movie. What a beautiful trailer.

 

[Escape Goat]

I do remember now that I got pretty sad when I watched Bicentennial Man. He was all alone and watched all his friends and family die And then he died before the world congress declared him human. Then his wife dies

 

[gurudyne]

One part of Saving Private Ryan:

Spoiler

Tell me I'm a good man.

Field of Dreams

"Wanna have a catch?"

Dat ending sent grown men weeping like children.

Kostner nailed the delivery of that line.

 

[D23]

I cried like a baby watching Marley and me and that Japanese dog movie. Forgot the name.

 

[ZaCH3000]

The Iron Giant.

It was during the scenes where the

Spoiler

Iron Giant does his Superman thing

The tears, they do not stop.

This too. Whenever its on I refuse watching it. The nostalgia, man. I remember crying for like an hour after this movie played as a kid.

 

[IblisGinjo]

Hah. Came in here to post Big Fish and it's the OP's movie.

Same. Part of it is just learning more about life but one thing about the movie is that it humanizes parents in this case "Dad", as another human being who has his own life/dreams/faults and not some all-knowing, all powerful figure that we can sometimes take them for.

Very bittersweet movie.

 

[koolaroo]

Off the top of my head:
"5 centimeters per second"
"up"
"grave of the fireflys"
and "Life Is Beautiful" Man did that one make me cry. I was like 15 and was completely not expecting the ending. And they told me it was a comedy...

 

[Otakumegane]

The last scene in Les Miserables.

I cried because of fear during Princess Mononoke though, (when I was 7)

 

[Winterfang]

I cried during Man on the Moon, don't know why as the movie isn't even memorable. But I remember tears just flowing through my eyes. Only time a movie made me cried.

 

[Skiptastic]

I've cried at plenty of films. Some because they were sad, some because they were very happy, some just because the emotion is so well built up.

 

[Thorakai]

There was a scene in Wall-E that left me teary. I can't remember which one though.

Spoiler

Leave me alone! I get emotional pretty easily.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

I'm gonna have to say Life is Beautiful got me the worst though. It's an Italian film about a father who protects his son from the horrors of the concentration camp they're both in by convincing him it's an elaborate game in which the winner gets a tank. It sounds odd, but it'll get you.

Get you right in the feels.

AHHH FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT THIS


The fucking ending... ugh. The only thing to get to me as much as this was the book What is the What, an equally horrifying tale of children suffering through holocaust.

 

[sappyday]

Fucking Dancer in the Dark left me devastated. I saw it during film class and I was a little embarrassed once the teacher turn back the lights.

Edit: The Iron Giant and The Land Before Time still get me if I watch it now.

 

[pikachu Lv 5]

Uncontrollable, painful sobbing. I could not hold it in and I could not stop.

 

[Lafiel]

Only when watching a good film.

 

[Kisaya]

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a young woman with a preference for the Keira Knightley version must be in want of correctness.

Whelp I'm sorry nobody has time for Colin Firth and a tv series :llllllllllllll

Keira Knightley is a queen tho so idk where you're going with this.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Pride and Prejudiced
Atonement
Beginners

too name a few. Movies get to me more than any medium. Although I cried when Peter Parker died awhile back in the comics. Also, when Damien Wayne died... Why can't Batman and Spidey just live a happy life for once?

This past Saturday I cried after watching Koreeda's Like Father, Like Son. I had to step out of the theater before the director's Q&A to call my son and tell him I love him. I actually walked by Koreeda and said "I need to call my son." He smiled at me and when I walked back in he gave me a nod.

 

[matt360]

Never. The closest I've ever gotten was the end of Toy Story 3 and Aragorn's, "My friends. You bow to no one." line from Return of the King.

 

[Sovereign]

Karate Kid Part 2 and Honey I Shrunk The Kids

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Now that i'm a father I tend to get choked up whenever there's a strong family or fatherhood message in a movie. I got choked up watching Finding Nemo just thinking about how fervent Nemo's dad was in finding him in near impossible odds for example.

However there is one movie scene that has gotten me every time, since the first time I saw it over 25 years ago and to this day:

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Quite a few.

Edward Scissorhands and Powder would be two movies off the top of my head.

 

[cheststrongwell]

I shed one manly tear at the end of Gladiator.

 

[Paper Fox]

Fucking always. I was even tearing up watching a goddamn Playstation commercial today. I cry a lot.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Super

I was going through some shit and it hit close to home.

 

[Madrin]

I've never cried during a movie, but I actually got choked up during Cast Away when he lost Wilson, which is kinda weird because I'm totally fine when human characters die in movies. I guess there's something about volleyballs that just gets to me.

 

[plainr_]

Hachi/Hachiko. I have an incredibly soft side for dogs.

 

[dead souls]

The list of movies that have made me cry would be too long to type up in a reasonable amount of time.

I'm not very emotional in real life, but films move me to tears quite frequently.

 

[TheVampire]

I tear up at the end of Bicentennial Man

 

[Danielsan]

Too many times to count. Though most of the time it's me tearing up, and not outright bawling my eyes out.

There are exceptions of course:

Dear Zachary

That movie simply destroyed me.

 

[inm8num2]

Who HASN'T cried at the end of a movie?

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Only one, but they were more tears of rage than sadness.

I'll admit, I've cried watching Futurama's Jurassic Bark episode a few times.

 

[StanleyStutters]

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World got me and there was one scene in the first Kick-Ass movie that got to me. TV shows tend to do it to me more. Fringe, Lost, Friday Night Lights, etc.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Yes I have watched hachi a dog's story.

 

[Anth0ny]

Never. Closest I got was the end of Toy Story 3. And that was thanks to 10 years of build up, nostalgia, being the same age as Andy, and some fucking powerful scenes towards the end.

 

[daviyoung]

Big Fish is excellent and a hex on all those who say otherwise.

Burton's second best movie.

 

[BubbaMc]

The Killing Fields.

 

[Symphonia]

The only film that's made me cry is Marley & Me. I remember seeing it at the cinema with my girlfriend at the time and I went to the toilet before the really sad part and came back in and everyone was in tears. I was so confused and kinda amused. My girlfriend then got the DVD when it came out and we watched it again and, man, did I cry. I was gutted I missed out at that experience in the screening.

The only other film to bring me close to tears was Toy Story 3. Fuck dat incinerator scene.

 

[OneEightZero]

I do a lot.

I'm a weepy bitch.

 

[kaskade]

I never really cried full on but I do get pretty emotional, like misty eyed, maybe a tear or two.

The ending of Captain Phillips really got to me. If I allowed myself to I probably could've had a good cry with that one.

 

[Wozzly]

Eight Below had me bawling like a baby. Any movie with animals will make me cry...tearing up just thinking about its that bad.

 

[haikira]

Oh yeah, loads. I guess I'm a bit of a softy. Some films that have caused me to tear up are quite peculiar picks though.


Oldboy - When Oh Dae-su

Spoiler

cuts out his own tongue

, it hit me like a ton of bricks.

Schindler's List - More than once, though especially the ending.

Memories of Murder - This is what I was thinking of, when I mentioned peculiar picks. I can't remember one exact moment, though as the investigation continued and the overall futility it, it just sort of got to me.

The Dark Knight Rises Wasn't really crazy about the film, but

Spoiler

Gordon's realization that it's Bruce

got me.

Leon The Professional
Good Will Hunting
Million Dollar Baby
Life of Pi
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Grave of Fireflies
Up
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Iron Giant
127 Hours


Heh. That's a load of movies. I really need to sort myself out =P

 

[inm8num2]

I'll tell you a movie that made me cry unexpectedly. This one:

Yes, it's Ratner, but it's anchored by very good performances from Cage and Leoni. The whole idea is, what if Cage's character chose to stay with his young love instead of leaving her behind for a work opportunity?

The ideas and themes of the movie hit me pretty hard. Regrets, missed chances, etc. It's sentimental but grounded in its ideas. Honestly, one of Cage's best overlooked performances.

Now I will endure and bask in the avalanche of mockery in vouching for a Ratner film!

 

[mxgt]

last one I teared up at was Late Spring

 

[Hours Left]

Yes.

Feels good.

 

[Pau]

Very rarely. Most recently in this movie. So that would be three years ago.

Yup. The last shot made me lose it.

 

[Extra Sauce]

More times than I can count. Recent ones include Warrior, 50/50 and Blue Valentine.

edit: inm8num2 I got your back on The Family Man. It totally got me as well.

 

[Albino_Samurai]

Best tears.
No shame.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Toy Story 3 and Iron Giant still get me.

The end of RoTK as well, but it's hit or miss.

 

[shadowkat]

Too many movies to count.
