I cried at Armageddon, even though the movie was pretty rough, that scene at the end where Bruce Willis is saying goodbye was pretty damned sad.

Also cried during Milo and Otis (when I was very young).

Only sissy's cry for any reason. That being said. I cry when I watch Old Yeller if no one is around. So I am man enough to say that I am a sissy.

Some close seconds.

Saving Private Ryan
8 Seconds
Friday Night Lights
61*
Its a beatiful life

Just to name a few.

Saw this in the theatre with my girlfriend at the time. I think everyone in the theatre was crying except the 80 year old ladies behind me... and yes I was choked up...

One movie that had an impact on me, never really cried, but it was a very emotional movie was United 93. I watched it with 4 other guys and I don't think anyone said anything to each other for at least 5 minutes after it ended.

Ladder 49, I am Sam, and Radio got me kind of teary eyed though.

I hope I really don't derail this, but the one with the autistic kid getting into the basketball game is a bit of a tear jerker.

Pay It Forward

I was watching it on a plane on my way to Europe and all I could hear was everyone sniffling. I well up every time I watch it.

Hogarth Hughes: [in the Giant's mind] You are what you choose to be.
The Iron Giant: Superman.

The Iron Giant is far and away one of my favourite movies. The film was not marketed correctly but has found its audience on DVD and I think will go down as a classic.

Other great ones in this thread that I agree with:
- Fox and the Hound, my favourite Disney Movie
- The Notebook, it really is well done and strikes a chord with most people, whether they admit it or not.

I would also add the original The Little Mermaid, not the Disney version but the version with the actual ending still in place. Not sure if it applies but I also recall a sad little cartoon called the Happy Prince that would play around Xmas each year about a statue of a prince and a little swallow. Very sad little cartoon.

Also off-topic a bit but I recall shedding a tear when Jimmy Smitt's character died in NYPD Blue - it was done so perfectly, tough not to be moved by it.

"My Life" is another tremendously sad movie.

HalifaxDrunk · 03-16-2007, 03:34 PM

Actual tears,
Saving Private Ryan
Hotel Rwanda was pretty close, but when I watched the "extras" those did me in.
Old Yeller
Life Is Beautiful

Really choked up
Rudy
Whats eating Gilbert Grape
Mask
The Passion of the Christ
Philadelphia
E.T. (I was 9!)

Eastern Girl · 03-16-2007, 03:34 PM

Life is Beautiful was quite moving, not shed a tear moving for me, but moving nonetheless.

When the father dies in the Lion King I get a little choked up

Blood Diamond was another movie that I had to hide the tears from the wife

simmer2 · 03-16-2007, 03:36 PM

-Rudy gets me all the time. I've seen that movie 5 times and it still gets me.

-Apollo 13...when they get back to Earth after the agonizing few minutes. Yep.

It seems like almost all sports movies get me at some point, even if they are cliche.

CaptainCrunch · 03-16-2007, 03:54 PM

I don't know why but sports movie usually get me in the end

The end of the first movie, when he's beaten to crap, and all he can think of is Adrian.

Rudy "What do I do?" "Stay on"

I was watching Mystery, Alaska with the GF, and she was sniffling during the hand shake scene.

Friday Night Lights, when the final drive ended short

Slapshot, when the Hanson's took the ice for the first time, I laughed so hard for that 30 seconds that I actually cried.

Other movies

Dances with Wolves - when two socks was blasted

Field of Dreams - playing catch with his dad still gets me

Old Yeller - guys movie but the end is terrible.

The Day after when they show all of the dying people in the gym. That movie still horrifies me to this day.

Te directors cut of its a wonderful life where they beat the banker to death while singing holiday tunes chokes me right up.

I believe this is the one: The Day After

A film about a nuclear attack.

It was made in the early 80's, was one of the only movies that was made for T.V. that ran without commericals, both because of the content, and because commercials would have ruined it.

One of the scariest movies I've ever seen.

Best scene is when they're sitting in thier basement waiting for the radiation to go away, and they hear the speech from the president, reassuring them that he was still in charge.

If you can find it, the effects might seem a little cheesy by today's standards, but man., you also have to remember that it was made at the height of the cold war.

Sylvanfan · 03-16-2007, 04:18 PM

Well when I was like 6 and saw Bambi, I think I balled my eyes out. I'll be sure to teach any offspring I ever have to hate Deer by that age so that they'll laugh....

But father/son stuff really tends to get me, moreso since my father passed away.

Big Fish at the funeral....I was claiming that my contacts were giving me issues.

Same with Seabisquit....The part where Jeff Daniels has the Flash Gordon pocket game that his son had and he pulls it out of the pocket before the final race. Yeah again I think something was wrong with my contacts there too.

Yeah sounds like a good one to see...just zipped it in fact.
