Its about an old man and his dog trying to survive on little money in post-war Italy.

The Champ (1979) starring John Voight and Ricky Schroder.

If that movie doesn't make you cry, then you just don't have a heart.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Early Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio. "Where's Arnie?"
Toy Story 3 got me good. Mostly a happy flick but there are some parts that just ripped my heart out.
Life is Beautiful, a WWII flick made by Roberto Benigni. The final scene gets me.
The Last Picture Show. Peter Bogdonovich in top form. Beautifully sad movie. Terribly sad movie.

:laugh: C'mon Derek. Really?

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

La Strada, it was Guileta Massina's character who really touched me. It was a role I tried to give my tears to. She was always called ugly (when in fact, she's very beautiful), and her naivete is sweet. She just wants to be loved, or at least noticed. She asks Zampano (Anthony Quinn), "Don't you like me even a little?" or "Would you be a little sad if I died," and he can only come back with a laugh, "What? Are you planning to die?"

Forrest Gump.

I don't know about movies where I cry throughout, but there are certain scenes in certain movies that ALWAYS make me cry...a few off the top of my head:


The ending of The Purple Rose of Cairo rips my guts out every time I watch it.

In Titanic, I always cry when Rose jumps off the lifeboat and runs back to Jack, who, while smothering her in kisses, keeps repeating, "You're so stupid, Rose, you're so stupid!"

In the 1972 film Sounder, I always lose it when Paul Winfield returns home from prison and Cicely Tyson runs about a mile and a half to greet him, screaming his name...Tyson is just devastating in that scene.

Denzel Washington's final visit to Tom Hanks in his hospital room in Philadelphia

When Tevye rejects daughter Chava after learning that she has married outside the Jewish faith in Fiddler on the Roof

When Richard Pryor's Piano Man gets beat up in Lady Sings the Blues

When George tells Martha that their "son" is dead in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

When Vivien Leigh realizes she's being committed and tries to run away in A Streetcar Named Desire

When Will Smith pushes his foot against the restroom door when someone tries to open it in order to hide the fact that he and his son have to sleep there that night in The Pursuit of Happyness

When Dustin Hoffman has to explain to son Justin Henry why his mother left in Kramer VS Kramer

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

A Christmas Story (1999) - This isn't so surprising, since I cry when reading the book too. The Ghost of Christmas Present segment always gets me. On a tangental note, Patrick Stewert is ana amazing Scrooge.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Bill Pullman's uplifting speech in "Independence Day".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoLywiaM6PA

I guess I'm just a romantic at heart but one of the most emotional scenes for me and always touches my heart is when:

Richard Burton forsakes his own safety, freedom, and his very life in West Berlin, drops back over the Berlin Wall, to be with Claire Bloom, whom he has cruelly used, as she lies dying and alone at the foot of the wall in East Berlin.

This is my FAVORITE movie about dogs. I used to watch this all the time as a kid.

I'll just list a few sad movies not necessarily with dogs or kids. :D

- Million Dollar Baby
- Seven Pounds
- The Green Mile
- Hachi: A Dog's Tale
- The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Children Who Chase Lost Voices and Wolf Children are two more you should definitely check out.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

White Fang (1991)
Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009)
Marly and Me (2008)

I'll edit if more come to my mind.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

The Elephant Man. No other film has the ability to turn me into a blubbering idiot like that film, no matter how many times I have seen it.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Bill Pullman's speech in Independence Day is one of the corniest speeches written for a movie ever, bordering on laughable.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

I always cry at It's A Wonderful Life. The ending is the main reason why it's my all time favorite movie. Hell, I have a hard time not getting watery when I hear Auld Lang Syne on it's own. I also cried at Wily Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Toy Story 3, We Bought a Zoo and Heart and Souls.

I remember crying at Christmas Shoes, Beaches, Field of Dreams and A Walk in The Clouds when I was in intermediate school but I don't know if I'll cry again if I watch them again now that I'm in high school.

titanic hahahah

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

The movie that every single time makes me cry is 'PS. I love you' with Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler. I identify myself with her when she loses her husband for a illness after a lot of years they were togheter, and it's so sad to think of losing someone you love suddenly.
This movie always reminds me to tell people that matter to me that I love them so I won't have regrets when they're no longer here.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

October Sky.. Really nice movie..

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

I'm going to recommend the movie Wadjda, about a girl who wants a bicycle. Made me cry and has a child as the main character so it ticks your boxes.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Am I the only person on the planet who hates It's a Wonderful Life? I have never gotten the appeal of that movie at all.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

The last film to make me cry was... Godzilla(2014). Yep. :)

Really?!:eek:

Can you please explain why?

No, you're not, I didn't like it at all.

Dancing in the dark
La vita é bella

Saw this yesterday... Daaaamn! :bawling:

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

I cried with Once Upon a Time in the West, not because it was that sad but because it was ****ing intense...

it's the most painful movie of all-time for me.... and maybe the saddest ever.

I'm sorry but what film is this?

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Thank you.:)

Watch it !! it's amazing

Crying to a Regan propaganda film? Nah...

Drive did, and I'm not a hugely sentimental type, but it had that effect on my for some reason.

Million Dollar Baby was also a very sad (but good film) - though it's been so long since I've seen it I don't recall if it actually made me tear up

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

I think you might have the title of this film wrong...are you sure it's not A Christmas Carol?

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

The Railway Man.

Armageddon...the runway scene when the child runs out to meet his dad for the first time when they land....gets me every time.

The ending scene of Forrest Gump makes be wanna cry

Grave of the Fireflies

It's just one scene but this scene is devastating.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

The fault in our stars. It touches me a lot :(

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Crying is a strong word, but I do get teary eyes quite often if I'm invested in the movie enough - it's usually not because of someone dying, but because of complete hopelessness of a situation from one character's point of view. For example, I Legend, although far from the most dramatic movie, made me really rub my eyes two times - ***SPOILER ALERT*** - when he was forced to put down his dog and especially the scene after that, where he begged the friggin' mannequin to say hi to him. That scene was so unbelievably hopeless for him I almost threw up imagining myself in his place. The effect is twice as bad when I really sympathize with the character who's clearly done wrong and feels hopeless, like the younger sister in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.
"Good crying" is great though, that's what you get from really epic scenes (along with goosebumps) - for example Rocky or Lord of the Rings are full of them. And although I'm not a big fan of Pixar movies, they seem to have at least one scene where I get joyfully teary, especially in "Up" opening scene (one of the best love stories ever in one 5 minute montage, unbelievable).

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Many scenes in LoTR make me quite emotional...

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

The end of "Field Of Dreams" gets me every time...

bridge to terabithia (damn this one hits me hard)

I'm a very emo guy and cry easily :rolleyes:

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Wreck-It Ralph, Big Hero Six, Up, Finding Nemo, WALL-E. Especially WALL-E.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

King Kong struck me deeply. Something hopeless and infuriating about the collision of modern man and all his mechanized, industrialized accoutrement with the pure wild animal of King Kong and the pristine, untouched natural world he represented. When the airplanes are circling the tower strafing him with machine gun fire and he's desperately trying to hold on, clinging the beautiful human woman whom he's trying to protect, that scene nearly brings a tear to my eye now, just imagining it. It represents just such a deep misunderstanding and it leads to cruelty and violence. It's the inevitability of such a conflict--where it is destined to come to blows because neither party can ever truly understand each other or communicate their point of view.

In chronological order, some of them:

- All Quiet in the Western Front (1930)
- Bicycle Thieves (1949)
- Ikiru (1952)
- Tokyo Story (1953) (second watch, first watch I though it was boring)
- Bashu, the Little Stranger (1986)
- Grave of the Fireflies (1988) (on the second watch, first time I though it was forced)
- Gunbuster (1988)
- Only Yesterday (1991)
- Whisper of the Heart (1995)
- all Miyazaki movies except his first and his tenth

Which one? I was almost crying during the whole thing in my second watch. In the first I didn't care much because I though it was forced. :)

Wall-E has some really powerful scenes. It's first half specially and the time when Wall-E almost died and eva replaced all his parts at the same time and it looked like he died. That part was very powerful.

The Fellowship of the Ring

Re: Movies that make you cry?

the finale of Dexter


I'm sure there are a few more, these are what came to mind

The Crying Game
Boys Don't Cry
Cry Freedom
Cry-Baby


We will see if Cry Macho joins the list when it comes out.

Heh. You forgot A Cry in the Dark.

What's the most recent movie to make anyone cry? I think mine is Circus of Books, the Netflix documentary about the LGBTQ bookstore in Hollywood. There's a sequence featuring employees who died much earlier than they should have that is so sad.

I cry in broad daylight, like a man.

Not now, but at the time being viewed, ones I got misty eyed for different reasons.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

To date, no movie whatsoever has managed to make me cry. I'm an emotionless block of wood.

The Machinist
Mysterious Skin
Schindler's List
Ice Age
Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Just thinking about Watership Down can make me tear up.

Also, I read the book on which The Neverending Story was based, and in the book, Artax can talk. So, you know, just to add on to that childhood trauma.

I am a sympathetic crier, so during one sequence of In and Of Itself I teared up a bit. Do you mean most recently watched or most recently released?

Paris, Texas.

Most recently released. I ask because I looked at everything I watched in 2020 and little to nothing produced any tears. Granted, I didn't watch that much, but are movies less willing to make us cry any more? Just a theory. Maybe I'm just getting old and cynical.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather 3 in the end..

Never cried.
Only ever chocked up once. It was during this scene.


https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/f...es-himself.gif

Have you seen Little Women? Because both the beach scene and another scene shortly after that got me (and the rest of the theater).

I have! Good call. Now that I think about it, parts of Emma. may have made me misty-eyed. Maybe heartstring-tugging in the cinema isn't quite dead yet.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Hope (2013).
Never rewatched 'cause the experience brought too many pain to me. How can someone do something like that to a little girl is beyond me...

i cried when the dog died D=

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Definitely Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009). It's mawkish, sad and melancholic movie. It's a masterpiece :)

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Star Trek III

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Another movie just came to mind and I'm sure I'm not the only one on this


the ending of American Sniper

I just saw this movie for the first time yesterday...I spent the first half of the movie fighting tears and gave up fighting the second half...this movie destroyed me. I rated it

Good for you, Gideon!
No one should go through life without ever having seen The Elephant Man.
(I rate it 5 tissue boxes!) ;)

Personally, I never cared much for David Lynch movies - I sometimes found all the surrealism... frustrating... for lack of a better word. But The Elephant Man is a masterpiece.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

There are not enough Yottabytes in the world to store that information. I cry often so :shrug:

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Hachi practically destroyed me. :bawling: I loved it so much that I bought the DVD, but I've never been able to watch it again.

I agree with you, although I watched it twice in my life. I think that sadder is only "Porwanie w Tiutiurlistanie" ("Kidnapping in Tiutiurlistan") , old Polish tale about three travellers looking for lost princess. I checked it in movies database and I see that it has English version "Friends Are Forever: Tales of the Little Princess" (2001) :)

I like a lot of Lynch's work, but he did nothing that even came close to touching this film.

"My Girl" and the ending of "Pan's Labyrinth" for sure. There are others. Like when Jacob's dead son in the original "Jacob's Ladder" took his hand and lead him up the stairs...into the spiritual world. :bawling:

I've mentioned it elsewhere on this forum but I saw Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 4 times in the theater and I cried, openly (because I could not hide it) 3 of those times.

Re: Movies that make you cry?
 

Bram Stoker's Dracula.

The last part where Mina kills Dracula gets me every time.
