What movies have made you bawl?

[Flyspeck23]

When the Wind Blows (although I wonder how it would affect anyone who doesn't remember the Cold War)
Million Dollar Baby
Lady Jane
Requiem for a Dream

And the "Spaulding Grey Memorial Kick-My-Ass Tearjerker Award" goes to:
Big Fish

I'll second Requiem for a Dream and Big Fish.
When the Wind Blows... it's been a looong time since I last saw it, but IIRC it scared the crap out of me but didn't make me cry.

 

[James Heard]

Creator, with Peter O'Toole. Yes, a movie that very few people have ever heard of and most people that have seen it thankfully forget. I don't know why, I've tried to examine it logically. I've even stopped the choking up bits in Wrath of Khan. I figure that once I've expelled Creator though, I'll finally get my pointy pitchfork and red cape. Seriously, babies crying doesn't move me anymore and puppies are pathetic - I'll finally tip past my mental block and into full blown sociopathy if I can just get over that stupid guy reading to his girlfriend in the coma. One day.

 

[Keeper of Secrets]

I got teary during Ed Wood when Bella had all his problems and when he finally died.

 

[ASH]

Untamed Heart, When Harry Met Sally, ET, any of The Lord of the Rings movies, The Notebook, The Passion of the Christ- when he is walking with the cross and falls and Mary remembers him falling as a child and she runs to him... as a mother that ripped my heart out. Thinking of it now still brings emotion to me. Titanic, Casablanca (maybe not today, maybe not tomarrow, but soon and for the rest of your life)-greatest line ever.
Top Gun when Goose dies. God I know there is more, just cant think of them now.

*Ash- cry's alot at movies*

 

[Psychic Warrior]

This was one of the most unintentionally funny movies I've ever seen. I broke out into hysterical laughter during the sequence where they were landing on the asteroid. It was just so fundamentally absurd. One of the real shuttles was destroyed because a chunk of foam fell off and hit it on the wing and they have their shuttles slamming into a rocky surface with large crystal spears jutting all over the landscape. You can't build an aircraft and make it fly if it's armored enough to survive that, never mind a craft you have to get into deep space from earth. Then of course there was the multiple vulcan cannons on the rover vehicles. Every ounce counts in space launches and they were hauling up several thousand pounds worth of ammunition and weapons. Were they afraid Marvin the Martian was going to try to stop them?

Bad form! Making fun of something like that in what is esentially a popcorn no brainer! Real world physics had nothing to do with that movie.

And I laughed a lot at it too (which brought strange reactions from my sister and sister-in-law who wewre bawling for a lot of it)

 

[Fast Learner]

I cried happy tears at the ends of both Requiem for a Dream and Big Fish. I think our society tends to consider it bad form when you feel peace and happiness about someone's death, but in both cases the deaths were good things. There is a time for everyone, and both characters knew it was their times and were completely ok with it. Which makes me happy.

You're right about all of that, but the movie did have a couple scenes I thought were pretty emotional.

Theatrical or Director's Cut?

Theatrical, I think (where he goes back and makes her cry at the party to spare her in the future, I don't mean the very end when they walk by each other - that was just dumb ). Can someone post spoilers for the director's cut ending?


Also, I just watched "Requiem for a Dream" last night, and I have to add that one to my list.

 

[Cannibal_Kender]

Milo and Otis.

Field of Dreams.

 

[Frostmarrow]

I remember getting tears in my eyes watching Terms of Endearment many years ago.

 

[Elf Witch]

I am a real softie I cry at the movies a lot. There are a few movies that I cry like a baby everytime I see them.

ET

The old Cary Grant/ Myrna Loy film Penny Serenade.

Titantic both versions.

Bambi.

Gone With the Wind.

I am sure there are others I just can't think of any right now.
