Movies That Made You Cry!

[BrianLynch]

Come on, list'em.  Update it as you think of more.  You can also discuss at what point you cried, if you want.

Can be just a welling up.  But if it's bawling, for God's sake, put a star next to it.

Mine:

UP (early montage, and then again when Carl finds the book of adventures)

TOY STORY 2 (Jesse flashback)

TOY STORY 3 (toys hold each other's hands in the face of death (specifically Bullseye's look), also when Andy plays with Woody for the last time.

MUPPETS FROM SPACE: (slight welling when Kermit says "We love you, Gonzo")

THE MUPPETS (when Kermit says "I don't think anyone cares about us anymore")

E.T. (kinda the whole thing, but mostly when he dies)

THE IRON GIANT (the smile at the end)

TERMS OF ENDEARMENT (daughter's death, when kid doesn't want to hug her)

More to come, for sure

PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES really made me cry when I was a lad. The whole thing with Candy's wife, forget about it. That's the only time I remember crying-crying at a movie.

ONCE kind of got to me as well, but not enough to full-on cry.

[BrianLynch]

Why did I put an exclamation point at the end of the thread title?  I'm so lame.

Add me to the PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES crybaby list.  Especially as I got older.

[Randy]

I always get a bit misty when Stiller confesses that he's had a bad year in TENENBAUMS.

ETA: Oh and MARLEY AND ME, cause c'mon.  Loaded dice and all that.

[Wolfe]

Come to think of it, the thing that easily wrecked me the most out of anything that I've ever seen was the ending of the dog episode of FUTURAMA. Holy cow, that destroyed me. And as an adult, too.  

[Hawkboy]

Where the Wild Things Are hit me really hard for some reason, particularly when James Gandolfini-monster is running after the raft as it floats away.

Titanic, but only the scene where the old couple are lying in bed as the water rushes in.

Into the Wild at the end, where William Hurt goes out into the middle of the street.

[Steve B]

Forest Gump - when Jennie dies

Toy Story 3 - the whole 3rd act.

And I'm going to take SO MUCH shit for this one

Armageddon - When Chicks little boy comes running up to him

I'm sure there's more I'll think of later

[Chris O.]

E.T. (of course, I was five, but it's the only time in my life I've ever cried to the point of hyperventilation... maybe even the only time I've ever hyperventilated)

UP  (same as Brian's, and pinning the bottle cap to Russell)


TOY STORY 3  (Andy's generosity at the end)

THE MUPPETS  (when they open the doors at thend)

ABOUT SCHMIDT  (the drawing at the end)

THE APOSTLE  (the moment with Walton Goggins at the end, he's amazing)

LA VIE EN ROSE (the end with her dad)


UPDATE...

BIG FISH (yep, the ending)

THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS (actually I think it was Stiller's moment at the end that got to me)

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE (I'm not sure if I did or not, but probably welled up at the raft moment at the end)

[DerickA]

In a similar thread I said I welled up at a bunch of stuff in KILL BILL Vol.1 and Lynch lol'd at me.

[nate.3.0]

Like I said above... way too many.  But some I didn't mention...

ID4
ARMAGEDDON
CHASING AMY
GOOD WILL HUNTING
ET
CITY LIGHTS
STAND BY ME
UP
WALL*E
INCREDIBLES
TOY STORY 3
EMPIRE/PHANTOM/CLONES/SITH
MAJOR LEAGUE 2
HOTTIE AND THE NOTTIE


Really pretty much anything where people are overwhelmed with emotion.  I mean, the right acceptance speech at the Oscars can get me going sometimes.  

And honestly... I'm pretty sure I teared up at HOP when Fred's Dad was finally proud of him.  That's the other thing that'll hit me, is proud moments.

[Steve B]

E.T. (kinda the whole thing, but mostly when he dies)

Screw you for making me remember.  There some girl I never met that was like 10 in 1982 that I honestly hate, along with some news producer for some network.

ET just came out and they were interviewing people leaving the theater.  They interview this little girl and she says "I cried when ET almost died".   ALMOST... fuck that little girl and the producer who put that on the air.
Watching the movie and he dies, the whole theater is weeping and I'm like "well, it's not like he's really dead, he's ALMOST dead".  One damn word ruined one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.

Titanic, but only the scene where the old couple are lying in bed as the water rushes in.

Maaaaaaan, I forgot that part.  Yeah. That too.

[Wolfe]

Nate, you have to learn how to take things to your grave.

[DerickA]

Oh, even though I wasn't a die hard LORD OF THE RINGS fan or anything, I kind of lost it at the end when Vigo Mortensen says "You bow to no one." and the whole kingdom bows to the little Hobbits. I was so surprised I was crying at that, much like I am that I'm doing it right now.

[nate.3.0]

E.T. (of course, I was five, but it's the only time in my life I've ever cried to the point of hyperventilation... maybe even the only time I've ever hyperventilated)

See, for me... I never cried at it until I watched either a  documentary or watched with the commentary, but there was a part where Drew Barrymore tells the story of how she thought E.T. was real. And no one told her what was going to happen in the scene when they are trying to revive him.  And the very next time I watched the movie, I paid attention to her performance in that scene, and it's probably one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever seen in a movie. Her reaction to the paddles is hard for me to watch anymore because of that.
