What movies have made you bawl?

[John Crichton]

Bawl? No. But the following made me weapy and tears were there for sure. No order and no accounting for how old I was at the time.

The final scene of Braveheart.

The last part of the train sequence in Spider-man 2 when the passengers bring Peter in.

A few times during the LotR movies. Aragorn's speach to the Hobbits and Sam carrying Frodo most notably.

Once during The Incredibles. I think it was one of the family scenes. Not sure, but I did.

Iron Giant: You know when.

Jerry Maguire: After the big game.

Transformers: The Movie - Prime's Death.

Armageddon: A guilty pleasure, for sure! Say what you will about Michael Bay but I loved this movie and The Rock.

The Shawshank Redemption: Andy's joy.

Trek II: You know when.

Moulin Rouge: Satine's death.

Only one for me, was My Life. Micheal keaton dying, and his wife is pregnant, so he makes a bunch of video tapes for the kids life.. Man, it was rough.

 

[Greylock]

Oh man, I totally popped at the end of Iron Giant. The robot flies toward the heaven's, with his cry "I AM Soooperrrrmannnnn!", GACK, cue up the waterworks, everytime I see it, even now.

And the first time I saw Braveheart, the ending of that made me cry, but that was a very different kind of crying. I wanted the torture to end so bad, for Wallace, and for myself as a viewer. I loved the movie, but the drawing and quartering was a bit too much.

[Elemental]

Spiderman 2, the bit after Spidey saves the train--specifically the bit where the man says "He's no older than my kid.". There's something about that that just gets me--the bemusement about why anyone would choose to do this.

And in Shrek, the scene in the cathedral where the sun sets. "You are beautiful."

 

[CarlZog]

LOTR: The Return of the King. When Aragorn said to the Hobbits, "My friends, you bow to no one" I was a blubbering, waffling idiot.

Yep. I'm with you there.
Plus probably about a half dozen other points in the three movies.

[Testament]

Off the top of my head:

Gladiator
Princess Mononoke
House of Flying Daggers
Two Brothers

Oh God, yes. I haven't seen Two Brothers, but the other three, yes. Gladiator got me at the very end, when Maximus finally arrives in Elysium. House of Flying Daggers hit me at the end as well, the entire sequence in the blizzard just sums up the whole insanity of the affair.

I'm curious to know where Mononoke Hime got people. I still don't know why, but I cried during the Nightwalker's rampage, when San and Ashitaka are holding desperately onto one another amidst the ruin, offering the Mad God his head. The whole moment has this sense of desperation and closeness that hit me like a ton of bricks.

 

[Starman]

In addition to some all ready mentioned (Wrath of Khan, Return of the King, Braveheart, Gladiator, My Life, Life is Beautiful), one of the biggest tear jerkers for me is Moulin Rouge. Yeah, you know it's coming throughout the movie, but when Satine finally dies at the end and Christian is clutching her on stage, I get all choked up. Call me crazy, but it is one of my favorite movies.
