We all love movies, and I know people like to post their favorite movies. But that has been done to death. So I'm going to send out a question I haven't seen on a forum yet. What's the movie (or movies) that make you cry? I'm especially curious to see the response from those of us of the male persuasion (of which I am a part).

I'll start the show with my 3 top picks of films that get my water works aflowing.

1. Rent (an awsome musical in its own right outside of the current topic)

2. Its my party (if you haven't seen this one, you should)

3. Fining Neverland (I'll admit this wasn't intended to make people cry, but it struck a cord with me)

I may ad more in a later post, but thats all I got for now.

Next!

My Life with Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman, only the most heartless of people can watch that movie and not cry.
The Lone David
I don't generally watch those kinds of movies, I'm too opposed to the non-happy movies
Frosti
Eragon
Habukberht
When I was little, the only movie that ever got me going was Ghostbusters. Poor Stay Puft Marshmallow man.

As for me being an adult, I have never actually cried at/during/about a movie. I almost cried because of how BAD a movie has been, but that was mainly cause I wasted money on it.

I've been with many girls that have cried during movies, and my ex cried during Rent (AKA "we all have aids the musical"). It's not that I don't watch movies either, I try and see every movie I can... I just haven't found one that actually makes me cry.

"a little princess," wasnt that the name?
our class watched it in grade school. i cried when the girls dad suppsedly died
Grym
I forget the movie's name.... Everything is illuminated. That is it. I didn't actually cry, but it made my eyes water (Cause I was sad. I don't actually cry too much.)

also, any movie with anything hinting at a sad part makes me cry
MantaLord
Ummm... I definately know I cried at the crappiness of The Last Mimzy and Barnyard... I also cried at Beatrix Potter, but I don't talk about Historical Romance Movies. Poor Ewan McGregor!
Grym
Also, whenever anyone dies. Like at all.
MantaLord
Yeah, pretty much... Especially those with the cool moustaches... Like Ewan McGregor...
Guru
I cried over Edward Scissorhands.
Neomancer
AWW EDWARD! I totally forgot about that one. I cried at the end too.

Aother good one was Pay it forward
pentheraphobia
THE NOTEBOOK MADE ME SHED A FEW TEARS, AND I ONLY WATCHED THE LAST HALF-HOUR!!!!11!!!111!one!!1
lessee, when i first saw "Jack Frost" (one with the snowman dad guy) i cried at the end a bit...
umm...
MantaLord
I cried about The Devil's Arithmetic... Because it made the Holocaust seem like some great trivial cosmic accident. No, really. I swear, Kirsten Dunst ain't. Jewish.
pentheraphobia
i saw a live action movie about hitler's life
i saw how he could have done what he had done, without being cut short halfway
i saw, that the only thing necesary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing
MantaLord
I criy at most of the Movies we watch at school, usually because their crappy adaptions of the books that we read in Reading.
TE_evilweasel
Eragon had to be the worst book to -movie ive ever seen im it was such a peice of s*** like no effert on trying to make it near decent

MantaLord
Princess Diaries?... I never considered that as a movie of that sort.
Neomancer
Diffrent people will resonate with different things. Besides not all films make you cry because they're sad, some make you cry because they make you happy (I know it sounds weird, but its true), and some make you cry becaue they deal with issues you which have either gone or are currently going through. (An example for me was Finding Neverland, I had bad issues with escapism for awhile)
MayArya
oh, titanic was definitly one of those movies. i was fine until the very end when i saw my friend sobbing, then i joined in too.
meanwhile, my other friend, who has a big crush on leonardo dicaprio, kept muttering under her breath "she doesnt deserve him!" laugh.gif
Bloodseed
Ernest goes to Camp.

That damned song makes me cry EVERY time.

Jabba

Yes, Princess Diaries. Overall it is a cute and funny movie but there is a part towards the end where I definitely got misty-eyed. Might be a girl thing. tongue.gif

I liked that movie, it did have some sad parts in it. I get a little teary eyed during any movie with a son and a dad who are fighting but make up at the end. But a movie, well more like a 6 part anime series was "Now and Then, Here and there." there is a few scense that really man make you really depressed same thing goes for Grave of the fireflies.
Ashlaern
I'm ashamed to say this, but I cried while watching Tigger's movie. And of course Dragonheart, Braveheart and Titanic.
Neomancer
Don't be ashamed. Hell, I still cry anytime I watch The Last Unicorn.
Ashlaern
I'm not ashamed of crying while watching Dragonheart or something like that, just about the Tigger's movie thing.
I mean: there you are at the cinema, watching the Tigger movie together with I don't know how many 3 year olds and you're the 16 year old crying like a baby because Tigger's sad... blink.gif
Zadorina
Add The Last Unicorn to my list.

Also, no shame in crying over the Tigger Movie. I cried at the Veggie Tales movie when I saw it in the theater. biggrin.gif
TE_evilweasel
i stayed up and watched i think it was a horror scifi called millinium room or cube something like that

basicly i cryed because i thought there might be an ending explaining the entire crap going on but all i got was a girl waking up from a pool of silver water who then gets shot by some government types after giving them the data on the cube...
i was like WTF LIKE 2 HOURS FOR THIS POS ENDING NOOOOOOOOO MY LIFE IVE WASTED 120MIN OF MY LIFE NOOOOOOO........ fetal postion you get the idea
Grym
I'm watching a movie right now which seems to be a bunch of asians punching a black dude
TE_evilweasel
im hopen the reason was some what to fairly good?
Frozen_Sun
King Kong.


Also, ERAGON SUCKS FUCKING DONKEY BALLS! A friend of mine said it was really good and I couldn't look at him for a week, I swear...
Ashlaern
I agree to that. I really hated the Eragon movie. So I keep on reading the books and cry over those, at least in my imagination Saphira looks like a dragon in stead of a strangely mutated bird.
Sayuri Kajira
Does anyone else laugh at the end of really cheesy love movies? Or is that just me? I laughed at the end of The Notebook. I thought maybe it was just the director's doing, so I bought the book. Nope. Still laughed. Rather hard too. I have no soul to speak of...
Ashlaern
Would you call final destination a cheesy movie? I laughed my ass off watching that.
Sayuri Kajira
No. But after the fourth one... yeah. I wanted to call up Death.

SAYURI: So, Death, did you know they're making another movie mocking you?
DEATH: You've got to be kidding me. Do you know how many of those actors' careers I demolished?
SAYURI: I figured as much, just wanted to let you know.
DEATH: So, who do they have doing the voice-over? Not the guy who did the Ring from LOTR?
SAYURI: No voice-over, pal. You're invisible again. Simply a personified entity.
DEATH: That is such a cop-out. Seriously. Who do I have to kill to get a better reputation?
SAYURI: I hear Steven Spielberg is going to be in town...?
DEATH: No, he already sold his soul to Beelzebub to make E.T. Killing him wouldn't benefit me.
SAYURI: What about the people who did "Friends?"
DEATH: Once again, no benefit to me. I'm keeping them alive so I don't have to put up with their cornfed antics in the afterlife.
SAYURI: What about Judge Judy?
DEATH: Would you want to deal with her for eternity?
SAYURI: She's going to purgatory? I was sure she was bound for Hell.
DEATH: So did I until I read her transcripts. Satan would just murder me.
SAYURI: There you go. You could always commit suicide.
DEATH: You're funny, Lisa. Real funny.
Jabba
that has to be one of the funniest things i have ever read.

*claps* lisa ftw

also final destination is the funniest movie of all time.

*girl argues with some people*
"blah blah blah" *walks out into the road and is crushed by a bus #CRUNCH#*

god DAMN i laughed so hard at that

the second and third were equally hilarious.

and...theres a fourth? feh im BORED of that series now..
Sayuri Kajira
I have to admit... I did shed a tear at Old Yeller. That was mainly because the dog didn't argue with some big-chested girl before being crunched by on-coming traffic. However, I digress, I did laugh at the end when I realized that in the background of the last shot... there is a hunter in the trees waiting to decapitate the little boy. You don't see him at first, but he's there... he's there...
Jabba
you know, for a while there you were ALMOST normal, it was... damnit it was impressive!
Sayuri Kajira
You think my conversations with Death are "normal?" What kind of bubbly are you drinking, sweeting?
Phedre
The movies that really get me are the ones where some little kid nearly dies or does die because the adults around him/her are complete idiots. Like Silent Hill, or The Ring.
Yeah, take your adoptive daughter to some condemned mining town, and don't tell anyone, I mean anyone, about it. Really, how stupid can you be? Yeah, or maybe you should leave a possessed video tape you are researching because it could have killed someone and leave it lying around the house for your kid to watch. Really intelligent! Capital idea! That's good parenting blink.gif

In all seriousness, LOTR made me cry alot, in a good way, just because it was a beautiful and well made adaptation.
robonips
A Walk to Remember <--- I'm a sap for romance movies, and Nicholas Sparks is a really gifted author.
Rent.
Registered Gamer Geek
Movies it's universally okay for guys to cry at:

Old Yeller
Any movie in which John Wayne's character dies.
Rudy
Brian's Song
It's a Wonderful Life

That's pretty much it, according to most male types.

I'll add:

What Dreams May Come
Mr. Holland's Opus
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Saving Private Ryan
Moulin Rouge


There are also a few chick flicks that got to me, but I don't want to admit which ones...
MantaLord
Oh, and anywhere where Ewan Mcgregor dies!

Justify me! JUSTIFY ME! I COMMAND YOU!
Neomancer
AH! How could I forget What reams May Come! I love that movie! I always lose it (read bawl like a baby) when Robin William's character starts to figure out that doc is really his son.
Grym
Anything with sadness makes me cry. Even in the real world, which is mostly why I became a pacifist. Cause I feel like shit when I make someone sad. And when people are angry, that frightens me

Girls are gonna take advantage of you not liking to see them cry, believe me... dry.gif
