What movies have made you bawl?

[Kanegrundar]

This list has made me think of a couple others...I guess I'm more of a wuss than I thought!

Schindler's List: No explanation needed.

Passion of the Christ: No explanation needed.

Ladder 49: I didn't cry so much at the end as I did when he was searching for the babysitter in the building. I lost my great uncle a year ago in a house fire. That scene made me think of what he must have went through to try and make it to the door. I had to leave the room.

Lonesome Dove: When Augustus dies. I sob like an infant everytime.

RotK: Theodin's death, Pippin's song, and the end get me every time.

Friends: The episode where Chandler proposes. That may have been the sweetest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Ok, that's enough...I need to play some Doom 3 now to raise my testosterone levels...

Watership Down - Efrafra comes for Hazel.

Years ago, I saw a cartoon in The New Yorker. It was a restaurant with a sign in the window that said:

Watership Down
You've read the book!
You've seen the movie!
Now eat the cast!


For me, it's It's a Wonderful Life, Grave of the Fireflies, and Tremors.

Schindler's List.
A.I.

There are others, but those're the toppers. Just the thought of that kid, who can't do anything but love, absolutely and totally....he can't forget, he can't heal, he can't move on...he's not even wounded, he just can't comprehend...all he can do is give everything he has to get back to his mother one last time.

Shoot. Now I'm crying again.
Nell.

 

[David Howery]

well, I can't say any movie ever drove me to actual tears, but Brian's Song came close... as did the end of Ghost....

 

[Shag]

I'm going to mention one that hasn't been mentioned, in Spartacus when Spartacus is forced to fight and kill his little buddy, he stabs him and whispers to him "...goto sleep.." terrible weeping.

The Babylon 5 episode 'sleeping in light' made me cry so bad I have only watched it once.

And more reciently the end of the movie Tai Guk Gi.

 

[spatha]

Old Yeller and My Girl.

 

[DungeonmasterCal]

Oh..heck...how could I forget "It's a Wonderful Life"? Also, a few years ago, when they released Star Wars: A New Hope for the anniversary edition, I actually teared up the instant the 20th Century Fox theme began. I was suddenly transported back to my youth, and the 12+ times I saw it in the theater during its original run. I suddenly missed the 13 year old, geeky kid I'd been REALLY bad and all the fun and wonder I'd experienced the first time I saw the movie.

She had a feeling.

I understand that in the first draft of the screenplay, when Keith is calling after her, he finally gets her attention by calling to her by her first name. If that had made it into the final cut, I'd have been crying buckets by the time Lick the Tins' "Can't Help Falling in Love" started playing.

"Hey Watts! Watts!! ... Susan!!!"

*sniff*

Yeah, that would have been something. Shoulda kept that in.

Years ago, I saw a cartoon in The New Yorker. It was a restaurant with a sign in the window that said:

Watership Down
You've read the book!
You've seen the movie!
Now eat the cast!

I'll have the Bigwig burger with a side of Fiver, please...

Highlander 2 - it ripped my heart out, spit on me, tortured my soul and left me dead.

Simon Birch, ET, The Yearling, a few others.

 

[Fast Learner]

I shed tears at lots of movies, both happy tears and sad tears. I'm not even slightly ashamed of it, and it's a big part of the reason I go to movies, as the group emotion in the theater makes it easier to laugh, cry, and be tense than my living room does.

That scene in Pokemon: of course I cried. I still get nearly choked up just thinking of Pikachu yelling "chuuuuuuu!" again and again while trying to shock Ash back to life. Really, really powerful, and if you've ever lost anyone in your life, you know just how Pikachu feels, how you want your pure force of will to bring someone back.
