View Full Version : What films make you cry like a waterfall ?
Just been watching a clip from Brother Bear on youtube and yet again started crying my eyes out.
It's the song, No Way Out by Phil Collins, always makes me cry.
Just wondered what films make you reach for the tissues.
Mine are :-
Brother Bear
Tarzan (Disney)
A.I. Artificial Intelligence
E.T.
50 First Dates, the part at the end where she gets introduced to her daughter and Somewhere Over The Rainbow is playing.
carry on, follow that camel was very funny and made me cry.
Stepmom
Beaches
I Am Sam
Titanic
Lion King
All of the above films have me in floods of tears everytime :cry:
EdnaKrabappe 06-09-2007, 19:48 Watership down. Damn you Art Garfunkel! (fist waving smiley required)
Titanic and Lion King - god i completely agree Emerald they make me cry so hard i can hardly see lol, Sadly enough Homeward Bound (with the two dogs and the cat) makes me cry as well!! god im just a big hormonal mess (with absolutely no excuses!) you name it, ill probably have cried because of it! :)
Grotbags 06-09-2007, 21:28 The Green Mile
City of Angels
Forrest Gump
TheBlueDragon 06-09-2007, 21:44 I dont cry but can feel it on:-
The Green Mile
Pearl Harbour
A.I
Rainman (Dont know why)
Forrest Gump brought some tears to my eyes the other night, mainly at the end when his wife dies.
Green Mile is close, but, doesn't get me teary.
Shadowlands.
Let Him Have It.
Watership Down.
Ghost.
dennistowler 07-09-2007, 00:50 Watership Down always does me....I was told that, as a child, Dumbo had me in hysterics.
Scrooge with Alistair sim is a classic and always makes me weepy
LitleMermaid 07-09-2007, 08:52 My saddest film is Fox and the Hound, I'm not even entirely sure why. But when she leaves the fox in the forest so that the hunter can't get him and theres music and the poor thing is watching her go, I actually have to sob into a pillow everytime!
Watership Down is another, and Lion King. When Muffassa dies and Simba goes and tries to nudge him awake! I can't even think about it!:(

yummyyumyum 07-09-2007, 09:52 i cry at absolutely anything!!
forrest gump gets me every time :(
i remember once me and a boyfriend going to a mates house for tea, we sat and watched forrest gump, i was sat so engrossed and tears streaming down my face had my mate and fella sat there laughing at me....the buggers!
ok its not a film but i have just cried like a big baby to extreme makeover!!!!!!
oh i forgot i cried when mickey died in the rocky film too!
Anything involving animals
The Incredible Journey (when the old dog comes running over the hill at the end)
Tarka the Otter :cry:
It's not a film, but I cried like a newborn babby when Madge died on Neighbours a couple of years back, and when Edna's dog Batley died on Emmerdale last year :cry:
Films wise, ET gets me every time, even the 20th Anniversary remake had me in tears, also Dumbo, the bit where Dumbo and the Mother are seperated gets me every time (damn you Disney Channel!).. Why did there always have to be a sad bit in the old school Disney films?! Usually involving the main character's Mother or Dad dying or some other tragic event?!
Code 46 makes me howl!
I have to remove my make up before watching it or I end up with mascara all down my face (not a good look).:D
'Pay It Forward' makes me cry like a baby!
happylady 08-09-2007, 15:56 I watched Terms of Endearment years ago and have never been able to watch it since. Same with Sophie's Choice - watched that about 3 years ago never again. Cried and cried at both of them
I can't cry at films.... I'm dead inside I know!
Closest I came to crying was 'The Green Mile' though
morticia 12-09-2007, 20:52 "La vita è bella" Roberto benigni in original language...
Minesadouble 12-09-2007, 21:10 'Watership Down' &
I cried at CRASH too ....:(
whats eating gilbert grape,
legends of the fall (practically all the way thru)
green mile
discodown 12-09-2007, 21:45 I'm shocked nobody has said 'Its A Wonderful Life'.
If you don't cry at that then you really are dead inside!

I'd watch it but I bet I don't cry.
I have been called dead inside!
Powerage 12-09-2007, 22:05 The Green Mile has me every time I just can't help it I read the book and that made me cry even more than the film!
When I was a kid I can remember being inconsolable when I watched Lassie and his friend died.
discodown 12-09-2007, 22:23 I'd watch it but I bet I don't cry.
I have been called dead inside!You can sit next to my missus then and mock me while I cry like a child!
Artificial Intelligence = the mother of all tear-jerkers, shed bucket loads.
The Green Mile has me every time I just can't help it I read the book and that made me cry even more than the film!
When I was a kid I can remember being inconsolable when I watched Lassie and his friend died.
Lassie's top of my list too - esp. the film 'The courage of Lassie' when Lassie becomes a war dog.
Also sci-fi classic 'Silent Running', and 'The Bridges of Madison County' always gets me!
the-lioness 14-09-2007, 11:37 I can't cry at films.... I'm dead inside I know!
Closest I came to crying was 'The Green Mile' though
same an same again!! :) god dam it that film ........ when he has that mouse in his hands....im cryin now :hihi:
AtticusFinch 14-09-2007, 11:54 I cried both times that I saw the Peter Jackson version of King Kong at the cinema. All the scenes where King Kong and Naomi Watts were on screen alone together were so well done. Here was a gentle and sensitive animal who just wanted to be left alone with the woman that he loved, but those cruel people wouldn't leave him alone. :(
evildrneil 14-09-2007, 12:14 The ending of both Big Fish and Dead Poets Society have been known to evince the odd tear!
nosy nellie 14-09-2007, 20:39 Terms of Endearment.
The Day They Gave Babies Away.
Carousel.
Schindlers List gets me every time.
Smithster 15-09-2007, 22:51 I have just tonight been moved to tears by a film for the first time since I first saw Watership Down as a young child... Pan's Labyrinth.
Without doubt the most powerful and moving film I have ever watched.
xxsarahxx 15-09-2007, 23:07 tianic
green mile
anything with phil collins singing in it...lol
pretty woman
beaches
Harry and the Hendersons....:blush: (more when i was younger tho)
pattricia 15-09-2007, 23:11 Lassie's top of my list too - esp. the film 'The courage of Lassie' when Lassie becomes a war dog.
Also sci-fi classic 'Silent Running', and 'The Bridges of Madison County' always gets me!
Yes all the Lassie films made me cry bucketsfull. :(
schindlers list
titanic, but only the bit where the mother is telling her kids to sleep, as she knows there is no way out.
and a few on true movies, but names escape me
TheRedWizard 16-09-2007, 09:19 Ok, not a film as such but try watching this with your little un in your arms!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcww9NhjoCM
A river runs through it.
Graves of the fireflies.
Everything makes me cry at the moment (pregnancy)
However I cry everytime at:
Beaches
Pretty Woman
City of Angels (like a baby)
Green Mile
The soaps when bad things happen.
Crikey I'm an emotional wreck!!
weenireeni 16-09-2007, 12:43 I cry at far too many films! I've cried at all the films mentioned already (the ones that I've seen) and here are a few more to add:
Cats & Dogs
All Dogs Go To Heaven
Garfield
Saw 2 (cos I was that terrified!)
Love Actually
World Trade Center
Armageddon
I, Robot
Pearl Harbour
Saving Private Ryan
Just about any film with an animal or a 'nice' human dying gets me going! I can't go to the cinema as I get in too much of a state! :blush:
JFKvsNixon 19-09-2007, 22:02 Films that have produced tears:
Donnie Darko
Schindlers List
Silent Running
Watership Down
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Films that made me fight back the tears:
Children of men
28 days later
The Thin Red Line
Any film directed by Michael Bay, when I think that he actually gets payed to make the trash that are often mistakingly called "films"; it really makes me cry.
Amfortas 19-09-2007, 22:43 'Silent Running' does it for me as well.
The ending of 'All Quiet on the Western Front' where the soldier is shot dead whilst reaching for a butterfly that's settled on the barbed wire of his trench.
pk014b7161 19-09-2007, 22:57 old yeller...........
JFKvsNixon 19-09-2007, 23:01 I can now add 'The Butterfly Effect'.
nic_scarlet 20-09-2007, 12:33 Pan's Labyrinth
The silent film Sunrise (which is on at the Showroom soon)
Silent Running at the end.
But then I also cried when the Jamaican bobsleigh team insisted on lifting the sled and carrying it over the line so they could be recorded as having finished the Olympic course in "Cool Runnings".
bigthanks 21-09-2007, 16:18 Wooopppsss I read the title wrong.
caitlin8103 21-09-2007, 21:18 Being a soppy so and so who is moved by Children's story books and yellow pages ads I have to agree with most of these. Have to add to the list though, 'the bridges of Madison County' which makes me sob relentlessly without fail. Get out of the car woman!!!!
titanic is always good for getting the tears flowing quite sad really lol
