The Land Before Time.

Only Lion King.

"Look out there! It's our island. Don't you see it? That's where we have to go. We can be free."

But any time when a father feels like he's disappointed his children, guaranteed tears. The Bicycle Thief being the film where I realized this trigger.

 

[Tawpgun]

Click.

Only time I have ever had tears coming down.

Some movies had be welling up, but no tears.


Fuckin click. Don't advertise it as a comedy if its gonna be that depressing!

 

[evilromero]

Life is Beatiful. A lot of what you guys already mentioned too.

 

[Kurita]

Toy Story 3 ;_____;

 

[McNei1y]

So earlier I posted Big Fish and Green Mile.

These movies also had an effect: Click, I believe Cinderella Man at least had my eyes watering, and Saving Private Ryan recently... I've seen the move countless times but for some reason, the last 5-10 minutes got me this time. "Earn this"... "Tell me I've lived a good life. Tell me I'm a good man."

Eternal Sunshine
Millenium Actress
Lion fucking King

I have kind of. Never really shed any tears at a movie, but i've gotten choked up. I can't remember which films with the exception of Forrest Gump, when he asks Jenny "Is he like me?" I think that got to most people. I think my Dad get's choked up near the end of Rudy, when his dad goes to the game.

I've gotten choked up watching television plenty of times. The time that comes to mind is This. I think this story had everyone in the house in tears.

 

[depths20XX]

Last time I can remember I cried was during The Wrestler in that scene where he's talking to his daughter about how he's a beat up piece of meat or something.

I'm sure there have been other times. I also teared up a bit in the Vice documentary where the Harlem Globe Trotters go to North Korea and at the end they are playing with the kids in the park. Just seemed really cool how a game like basketball can break boundaries like that.

 

[shanshan310]

Have I ever NOT cried while watching a movie is a better question.

Spoiler

No ;.;

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Les Miserables
The Lion King
Turner And Hooch

 

[njean777]

The green mile
The passion

Those are the two I remember.

 

[Wag]

 

[Blades64]

The only movie the legitimately brought me to flowing tears was Up.

Other movies have made my eyes get a little moist, but they never came out.

 

[meltingparappa]

I fuggin' cried during the holocaust intro scene of the first X-men so I'll cry at just about anything.

 

[Tenks]

Forgot to mention. I didn't cry but it was pretty sad and awkward but the day after my mom got diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time my dad and I decided to cheer her up by getting, what we thought, was a RomCom. I think it was like "Step-Mom" or something. We didn't know anything about it but it looked like a romcom at the store by the cover. Little did we know the step mom died of breast cancer. Yeahhh. That wasn't our best moment.

 

[Romez]

Marley and Me i teared up. I don't even like dogs, i can't watch that film again.

 

[lemmykoopa]

Nobody mention the ending to Pan's Labyrinth yet? Ok, then I'll do Beautiful bitter sweet ending, wept like a baby during the end.

 

[nullref]

I shed a single manly tear when the rocket takes off in Apollo 13.

 

[Feroce2]

I cried in the theater for Cloud Atlas during

Spoiler

the composer being found by his lover

.

 

[Iku-Turso]

Bridge to Terabithia
Ikiru

I cried a river for Terabithia and a fucking ocean for Ikiru.

 

[Johnlenham]

Most recently was when I was watching Life of Pi - at home, on Blu-ray, thank goodness. It was at the part when

Spoiler

Richard Parker and Pi are at Death's door just before they come across that carnivorous floating island - Richard Parker lying there, about to give up...

I just burst into tears. That film was brilliant.

Sad thing is they cut the best part of the whole book out between that and what you are saying Its crazy dark and I laughed but yeah If you liked the film enough to cry you should read the book.

 

[slit]

Uh.....yeah. Black and white messages make me cry too.

 

[MR4001]

Sad thing is they cut the best part of the whole book out between that and what you are saying Its crazy dark and I laughed but yeah If you liked the film enough to cry you should read the book.

Don't say anymore! I ordered the book the same day. I've yet to read it, though. (Such a backlog of books...)

 

[thecouncil]

I didn't cry during Grave of the Fireflies or Dear Zachary but I got tears in my eyes multiple times during Tangled and tried my absolute hardest not to start sobbing during Brave. Hey, I dunno.

edit: Oh wait, I actually do know. I'm unaffected by things that people have built up as something I'd cry watching. It's the unexpected and overwhelming that get me.

 

[Forbin5]

When I was 12 I cried when the dog got hit with the shovel in see spot run.

 

[Steve o 3000]

The end of La Bamba killed me when I was a kid.

 

[Kajigger]

No...

 

[Borgnine]

All the time.

Most recently, nearly lost it during Wreck-It-Ralph.

 

[Snkfanatic]

No...

 

[Beefwheat]

Toy Story 2 gets me every time during the "When She Loved Me" segment. Toy Story 3...oh man, the entire ending. My wife and I were totally bawling.

 

[vikki]

I just remembered Dead Poet's Society. I think it get's to me more than any other movie.

 

[dark_prinny]

E.T.

Every fucking time .

 

[Angry Fork]

Super level of actual crying:

Cinema Paradiso
Toy Story 3 (and now 1/2 due to nostalgia)
Up
E.T.

There's probably a couple more but I can't recall them right now, and checking imdb top 250 doesn't help.

Choked up/tear in eye:

Spirited Away
Once upon a time in America
City Lights
Good will hunting
Annie Hall
Rocky
Truman Show
In the mood for love

Honorable mention: V for Vendetta balcony scene

 

[ito007]

i think i get overly emotional with movies. sometimes ill get tear eyed when i see a movie just being good, like no sad parts just extremely well executed artfully crafted. i do that with games too. anyways...

Obvious ones off the top of my head (there are plenty others): Forrest Gump, and Big Fish

Also this ones a romantic comedy so i might take a hit for this... but Love Actually is an extremely good one. i swear dont write this one off, very well done and everything felt genuine. the last quarter of the movie killed me.

 

[3N16MA]

No.

 

[RubenCordeiro]

Never met someone who didnt cry while watching this

This one. I felt a genuine mix of anger and sadness during the documentary.

 

[F#A#Oo]

The War with Kevin Costner and Elijah Wood is the only film that consistently gets me to weep...

[Arsenic Yellow]

I was going to post Life is Beautiful too. The first time my mom and I watched this, neither of us cried. Five minutes later, I was walking down the stairs, while my mom was walking up. Our eyes met and we both burst into tears. I've seen many sad movies, this and Hachiko take the cake.

 

[sn00zer]

That Japanese film, Departures.

So many feels of varying kinds during that film.

The ending left me choking back tears.

I felt that the

Spoiler

funeral for his friends mother

was the most emotional scene in the film.....amazing movie

 

[JaseMath]

Many times. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is the most recent, only because the kid's depression hit so close to home. Not the

Spoiler

sexual abuse aspect

, just the feelings he's dealing with.


;_;

 

[kmax]

I've been close many times, but the movie that got me crying like a little girl was Hachi: A Dog's Tale.

That movie struck right through the heart.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

No, but i came really close in Titanic and The Lion King.

 

[Manu]

lol, "sadanduseless.com"

 

[Master Nairb]

Cool Runnings - everytime

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

I'm not a cryer, I'm more the depressed type but I came very close to crying while watching Hard Ball with Keanu Reeves.

When it was out on DVD(? I can't remember honestly if it was a VHS or not) a teacher had us watch it in a high school class and man there's a scene that I almost had a tear in my eye and I'm pretty sure kids in the class were crying over it. I went to an inner city school so a lot of the kids (self included) could relate to the movie and

Spoiler

when the youngest kid got shot

, THE FEELS WERE HAD.

 

[Owensboro]

How in the world have we made it this far and no one has said "Old Yeller" or "Where the Red Fern Grows"?

"He was my dog. I'll do it."

 

[kutthoat5150]

shindlers list, saving private ryan, Ip man 2, few others I forgot but there was a ninja in my house chopping onions somewhere during those movies

 

[Bedlam]

I just watched "Bigh Fish" for the sixth time and it's the only movie that made my cry....like a baby....every time.

Dude, YES. Big Fish got me, too. And I was watching it on a flight.

Other movies that fall in my (!) "makes me cry a little" category: Lost in Translation and most recently I watched 500 Days of Summer. I think I had something in my eyes at the end there.

Yeah, I'm not even pretending to be no-tears-manly.

 

[Keyouta]

Grave of the Fireflies and Marley & Me

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

omg yes ;~;

It's usually the random ones that do it, when I'm unguarded and not expecting it. This is why tearjerkers rarely work on me, even less so as I get older. I was totally ok watching The Diving Bell and the Butterfly until the credits hit and I was just swamped with emotion. Then I sat in the lobby waiting for the next movie (Juno) to start and, embarrassingly, sobbed like a blubbering baby.

Totally agree. Those tearjerkers rarely work with with me too. *ahem* Forrest Gump.
