Are you a tearjerker?

Just as the heading states, you watch a rather sad film, do you cry?

To Remind you the type of film... that might....

ET,
Schindler's List,
Ghost,
Titanic

P.S. Inspired by the tissues tread.

Oh yes, I even cry at stupid things like what's on now. These kids starting a new school in Spain and they're all upset bless em. I'm just soppy though!
Chloé

Yep *sobs*

Yeah, I cry. I mostly cry if it's either an animal I believe might have gotten hurt in a stunt or because of a love torn apart because of death.

Otherwise, movies that made me cry from sadness are:

- The Green Mile
- Titanic
- Message in a Bottle
- Romeo and Juliet

Oh yes - I cry at sad films all the time.

Moments of 'hopeless heroism' do it as well - like the charge accross the beach in 'Glory'

Or the The Riders of Rohan arriving at Helms Deep.

Terrible, aren't I?

I voted yes too :(

Sometimes music makes me half go as well (particually Jeff Buckley)

Hell no. Stronge like bull! Real men dont cry soldier!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


*Trying to hide sensitive side*

Titanic gets me every time :cry:

Music's a big factor with me as well RPG

But then, that't the composers job - to convey and enhance emotive reactions.

Buckley gets me everytime as well.............

but for a real "nobody leaves the room without sobbing" watch "who will love my children" cheesy 80's film........ omg:cry:

Yes, I have cried many times when watching sad films!!!

I've never actually cried but I fully understand why people would cry to films especially like Titanic.

What made you cry at K-Pax? I think it's an amazing film, but I don't think it's a cryer!

All those romantic weepies like Titanic never make me cry, although I cry at just about everything else!

As mentioned in a previous thread, watch the original version of "The Incredible Journey". I shall share the end with you…

Little boy turns to his dad and says "It's all right dad, I knew Bodger was too old to make it."
"Woof, woof!"
"Listen!" says the dad.
"It can't be... can it?!?!" says the little boy.
Over the hill come Bodger, the old bull terrier!!!
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Bloody marvellous! Mind you, I even cry watching Independence Day!

The news often has me welling up in tears, and the moment in the killing fields when Dith Pran has escaped from the Khmer Rouge and crosses the ridge to see the Red Cross tents. Awesomely moving. But mostly it is things like Iraq, Victoria Climbie, Jamie Bulger, Afghanistan and the Middle East that make me cry when reported dispassionately on the news.

I cry all the time about everything
The end of Surprise Surprise with the "You havent seen him for 50 years but here he is now..." always always got me.
It adds to the pleasure for me.
I am delighted to hear that Forum men are not afraid of a few little tears either
Good for you!!
An interesting poll just now, with more men then women having a few tears.

I cried my eyes out over the Green Mile.

I cry at sad films. I must admit I'm a bit surprised that the male vote is ahead of the women at present. I'm sure the only film I've seen men crying in at the cinema was Schindler's List. So you must be drying your eyes pretty quick before the lights come on! Either that or you're having a good cry in the privacy of your own homes!

Probably to do with the fact that there are more male members.

Don't be surprised! Us men are still very selective about the circumstances in which we show such emotion. I bet that 90% of the men that admitted to crying would also admit they wouldn't if another man is present!

Interestingly though, while a greater number of men admit to being cryers than women, 100% of the women that answered the poll admit to being cryers, while about 20% of the men who answered said they wouldn't cry.

For the record, it doesn't matter if theres another bloke present.

whats the big deal about showing your emotions anyway?

I'll be the one girlie who never cries at sad movies then.
I always feel that I'm supposed to be being manipulated into crying at movies, which I object to, so never do.
I save my tears for real life sad things...and for moments of overwhelming hormone attacks like PMT:P - or as my beloved calls it, crying for no good reason at all:o :lol:

So, did any of you cried when Princess Diana died?

Erm..... and this goes no further RIGHT! :evil: But i was teary when Diana Princess of Wales died.

I like what she stood for (with the less fortunate in the world), and it was upsetting in the manner in which she died.

She was a great lady IMHO. :(

I don't have a problem with it at all, male or female. I've watched sad films with male friends and they haven't cried is all. I don't know whether to interpret that as them not feeling comfortable enough to cry in front of me or if the film just didn't move them that way?! Perhaps the latter? (I hope).

Luckily I was in Ibiza when it happened so didn't have to put up with all the sentimental bull (at least not as much as most) that was in the papers and on TV.

As far as I'm concerned she had a fantastically priviliged life and didn't have to work for any of it. Fair play, she did her bit for good causes andwas probably a nice person. That said, I didn't know her personally so when she died I didn't feel any more sadness then when I hear about anyone else (that I didn't know) dying.

No, I didn't cry!

Me too, more than any other film I've seen. (Not seen Schinders List though).

Not at all. In fact I don't believe she's really dead, but let's not get into that here...

Sorry but i am a sobber at almost any film. It is making me well up even at the mention of some of these films. I am the one that always comes out red eyed and sniffly. Nomme and Fletch find it quite amusing.

Definetly cried at The Green Mile, Ghost (was going through most of this), and K Pax think i may have even cried at the Sound of Music on some occasions, think this says it all.

Nope, films don't make me cry. It's just that I find that with some films I get grit in my eye at the most innoportune moments....

In the past I have acquired grit in my eye whilst watching the films Somersby, The Shawshank Redemption, Jerry Maguire, Groundhog Day (the bit where Bill Murray is trying to stop the old vagrant from dying) and several others.

I also get grit or an eyelash in my eye with emotional films in general. Strange coincidence, huh?

every time i watch my girl i always cry:loopy:

With you there chicken! Absolutely detest weepies and refuse to watch them - they dont make me cry, just annoyed... ET I wear my teeth down thru grinding!!! The only film I always cry at the end of is The Crow, because its such a beautiful, sad ending, made more so by the circumstances surrounding the film, ie Brandon Lee's death.
Altho to my shame... and I hold the hormones responsible for this I have been known to shed a tear at the end of Monsters Inc *cough* *cough* and in Harry Potter and Philosphers Stone when he sees parents in the mirror....
I have also been known to cry at then end of certain books, but then descriptive, emotive writing tends to affect me more than shameless saccarine moments on film.

i apologise for my thoughts Panda79 as i misunderstood this as well. maybe you should have put 'My Girl' in quotes as some people might not even have heard of the film.

no offence took:thumbsup:

I cried at the end of 'Titanic'.

All that money spent, for the biggest load of rubbish I've ever watched!!

i cried (with laughter) at Independance Day, especially when Jeff Goldblum managed to hack into the aliens sophisticated computer system using a laptop running Windows 95!! also when that cropspraying pilot managed to jump into an F15 Strike Eagle and fly it without any training. must have had a PC simulator!!

Unfortunately i cry at everything,films,news,books etc.I wish i didn't 'cos no-one knows if you are seriously upset or not if you do it all the time.

I don't cry at films for some reason even though I can be 'touched' by them but I do cry when I listen to my daughter's school choir performing.

After watching E.T on the BBC today, I realised how much emotion is put into the end scene - not only by all the crying adults and the final goodbye but also the music! which adds the final touch.

Im not one who's heartstrings are easily pulled but I can understand from films like this why so many end up reaching for their tissues. . .
( I have to admit I was thinking how funny it would have been for E.T - as he's waddling up the ramp to the ship - to fall back and roll down only for the dog to lick his face and sniff his bottom, but thats just me! )

So which film has made you cry or at least brought a tear to the eye?

No reason, just thought it a funny answer, never even saw it.

The first one to do it for me was the end scene in Willy Wonka when Charlie Bucket hands back the Everlasting Gobstopper. Who's sadder, me or the scene?

The last one was the end sequence to the Return of the King.

I never cry at films- if you can find one film that makes me cry then I'll be impressed.

The closest to bring me to crying is 'The Green Mile' at then end when he's in the electric chair, being putting to death because he murdered two girls (according to the report but anyone who has seen it knows it isn't true).

The line that ALMOST gets me is when he says 'Don't put that bag over my head boss, I'm scared of the dark' :(

ok, hands up all those who find these 3 scenes heartbreaking:

(1) The Lion King - when Simbas father is killed in the stampede and he sits by him calling for help.

(2) Titanic - When Rose gets in the lifeboat and is slowly being taken down but ends up jumping back onto the boat.

(3) Pulp Fiction - John Travolta gets shot! 'Noooooooo!':o ;)

Definately me for the third one lestat! ;)

How about in Forest Gump just before he marries Jenny he introduces her to Lt. Dan as 'My Jenny'

That has my mum in tears. :)

Beaches - with Bette Midler - when she and her dying friend are sitting on the verandah of the beach house. They look across at each other and smile and it gets me every time. Then later in the film when her friend dies and she goes to comfort the little daughter who she has promised to look after - all done to the soundtrack of 'Wind Beneath My Wings' - corny but good (gulp!) :cry:

Most films make me cry.

Hiya mum! I didn't know you'd registered on Sheffield Forum :P

The top film on my list for making me cry is 'The Colour Purple' with Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey.... I sob everytime I see that film.

Also, another film I saw on TV years ago called 'The imitation of life' that is a real tear jerker, anyone seen it?

The Green Mile, staring Tom Hanks, that always gets me.

I guess I am just an emotional wreck.......:-(

I cry about it because I have to write an essay on it for literature coursework this year! :P

I'm a softy at heart.....

Shawshank Redemption
Field of Dreams
Somersby

Oddly enough there are a few scenes in the film 'Patton' that bring a lump to my throat.

What you have to write an essay on the Colour Purple? I would love that (no I am not offering to write your essay for you)!! I used to love writing essay's in English Literature at schools, I used to have my teacher in tears...they were so convincing.

I bet the colour purple makes you cry.

Well it's a essay comparing 'the colour purple' with 'oranges are not the only fruit'. I've already written the first draft so I can take it from here :P

Nope, didn't make me shed a slight tear.

I'm a real emotional robot.

KPax everytime.

Yes Green Mile, Field of Dreams, as i said before almost anything. The boys watch to see if i'm crying, cos then they know i've enjoyed it.:D

Have you called it 'Oranges are not the colour purple':hihi:

No, not at all Ian . . I've been there and done it mate. We had to write an essay about a book called 'In Cold Blood' when I was studying.

I was a sarcastic git then . . . got into enough trouble and know what it's like, especially when the teacher who you're sarky to is grading you!!:hihi:

I wish she'd cry on my shoulder! :heyhey:

The Color Purple made me cry.

The part at the end where Celie and her sister are reunited after being apart for years. Gets me every time!

In Forrest Gump, when Lieutenant Dan (the classic bitter Vietnam Vet) thanks Forrest for saving his life.

Terms of Endearment with Shirley MacLaine, when her daughter (played by Debra Winger) dies from cancer at some ridiculously young age.

Sophie's Choice with Meryl Streep. She arrives at a concentration camp, and a German officer tells her she's only allowed to keep one of her children. And if she refuses to choose, he'll kill them both. She finally offers up her daughter, and he carries the screaming child away. It makes me tear up just thinking about it.

ALEX1995,

I've seen Imitation of Life. Yep, a real tear jerker. Especially the end, where the daughter of Lana Turner's maid (after cruelly rejecting her mother for years) decides she wants to reconcile with her after all, goes home...and arrives in time for her mother's funeral.

Waaahhh! Where's the kleenex?!

:) Sierra

I've remembered another 'lump in the throat bit!'

The Patriot ( Mel Gibson ) - when the little girl walks away from her father and then runs back shouting daddy. . . Why isn't there a crying smiley? . . oh! cuz it wouldn't be a smiley.:|

Just to let you know Lestat that the crying smiley is in the link just below the smileys box - says 'get more'....or type colon then the word cry then another colon :cry:

Has anyone seen City of Angels?

Nicholas Cage is an angel who falls in love with Meg Ryan. He sacrifices immortality to be with her. But shortly after he does this, she's killed in an accident. Sad, sad, sad!

It's a biography of the US General Patton - WW2. There are some quite touching scenes when he's with wounded soldiers, but the scene I always remember is at the end where he's basically been fired and he walks his dog in the countryside by some windmills (earlier in the film he'd been described as a Quixotic figure ). There's a voice over which ends with the phrase 'all glory is fleeting'. Very effective.

Joe

I'm probably a bit emotional when watching films but I'm one of these people that likes to sit in the dark and watch films with no outside noise. I guess it's my way of being really drawn into the film like you're actually experiencing it.

Films that have made me cry or nearly cry with that big lump in your throat are:

The Green Mile (me and my best mate were just sobbing and hugging for ages after that :loopy: I know!

Titanic

Man On Fire (I just watched it recently and recommend it highly!)

Forest Gump

Color Purple

Beaches

The Cure

E.T

Saving Private Ryan

Braveheart

City Of Angels

Gladiator

Armaggedon


That's all I can think of at the moment - will update later :)

P.S The list isn't in any particular order

After someone laughed at me when I cried at Watership Down (I must have been about 5) I never let myself cry at films again!!! :o
Gladiator got me though, managed all the way through without a tear then the moment it finished i cried and cried and cried!!!!:cry:

All american films is see, no good British ones ?????

Truly, Madly, Deeply always makes me cry.

(Steel Magnolias does too but it's not quite in the same league)

Originally posted by poppins

OK, name one that you think is a tear jerker?

Oh yes....Saving Private Ryan...Gladiator....

As for a British film, it's quite old but 'Whistle Down the Wind' sometimes does it for me. It's about a bunch of kids who find an escaped criminal and become convinced that he's Jesus.

A more up to date film that is a bit of a weepie is 'Sliding Doors'.

Another one that is quite affecting - The Great Escape. The bit where James Garner is helping the blind Donald Pleasance to try and escape.

Oh...and the bit at the end of The Magnificent Seven where the old farmer is saying that only the land wins.

Yes - although there was a remake on TV a while back though starring Martin Clunes

All american films is see, no good British ones ?????

Truly, Madly, Deeply is a British film

notebook, i was in a complete state when they died together at the end, boyfriend was trying to take a photo of me cause i looked terrible

Big Fish (at the end when the son finaly realises what the father is all about as he is dying in the hospital) and Dead Poets Society (when all the kids stand on the desk at the end - 'Oh captain my captain').

Titanic brings a lump to my throat but only cos its such an steaming pile of formulaic tripe that I can't believe I have just wasted the time watching it trying to convince myself it was gonna get better!

I've not seen Big Fish yet although I've got a copy of it sitting in my office. Might encourage me to sit down and watch it now :)

I though Big Fish was excellent - the only thing is I'm not sure it had the same effect on female friends I watched it with as the theme through the whole film is the father-son relationship - but it is a FAB film :D :D :D

I think the saddest film I can think of is Practical Magic.:)

Speaking of british films,

When I was about 10, we had a teacher who was from Scotland.

If we behaved all month, we were rewarded by being allowed to watch a movie one afternoon. Most of them were Disney films, but there was one that was made in the late sixties or early seventies.

It was about a young boy who was having a hard time at home. His brother beat the c**p out of him constantly, his gym teacher was a horrible bully, and things just weren't going his way.

He finds and tames a hawk. He has one teacher who helps him with the bird, and he gets to show his hawk to his entire class. Who are all very impressed.

I forget what happens at the end, but I think his nasty brother does something awful to the bird. I'm not really sure. It was a good movie, and not an American film.

Does anyone know the name of this movie?

something terrible to the bird.

I like to think I don't cry that much at films cos it's so embarrassing, but sometimes you just can't help it .....

Films that have brought more than a lump to my throat include:

1. Sommersby (oh God, this is unbearably sad) - I think everyone in the cinema was sobbing away - lots of noses being blown and throats being cleared when the lights went on!

2. Born Free

3. Tarka the Otter (actually, any film involving animals, pretty well)

4. Forrest Gump

5. Gladiator

6. Back Beat (when Stuart Sutcliffe dies at the end - heartbreaking)

7. Sliding Doors

8. Heaven Can Wait

ok, more than I thought ..... :P

I can remember coming out of the cinema and thinking 'wow, that's a really good film'.

I should rent it, but Enemy of the state is on tonight!

The reason as to why i feel i cry at/during films is because i get so involved ie: what would i do/say/feel if it was me...

:cry: Rating:

My first ever film cry... ET & Annie

Then went onto....

Mrs Doubtfire... I know very strange but like i said... i get too emotionally invloved... you imagine doing anything to see your kids then being banned... then being allowed to see them again... That really choked me... :cry:

Beaches... A sad but great film... The song 'Wind Beneath my winds' now holds a great deal of sentiment to me... :cry::cry:

Pay if Forward... Such a sad ending... especially when he had done so much for others... :cry::cry:

Ghost... The scene that set me off is when they're in the cafe Molly walks off thinking Oda Mae Brown is a fake... Sam shouts 'tell her i love her'... Oda repeats 'he loves you' to Molly... Molly replies 'he would never say that'... Sam then says 'Ditto' Oda Mae says Ditto? Ditto? What does that mean... :cry::cry::cry::cry:

Just seeing the look on Molly's face brought tears to my eyes... then again when Sam gave Molly the penny that Oda Mae slips under the door... an again when Oda May Brown says they're waiting for ya Sam... Sam tells Molly about all the love an how you take all with you etc....

Feel like a Ghost movie coming on

I'm sure i've cried at loads but when it comes to thinking about it... ya mind just seizes

I'd forgotten about Ghost but I would definatley add that to my list of tear jerking films.

What about Bodyguard? Now that choked me as well. :cry:

Mines and bit, er... random...

In Harry Pottter & The Prisoner of Azkaban, when Harry conjures the Patronus to stop the dementors. It's a stag, which is what his dad could turn into.

I cried buckets. :cry:

I saw 'Vera Drake' at the cinema the other day, and I had a lump in my throat watching that, especially when Vera couldn't stop cryinging:cry:

Anyone else find it quite moving? It's a really interesting film, although very depressing. It's one of the few good British films.

I think 'Field of Dreams' is like that.

It's a blokey weepie - although the protagonist is married and has a daughter in the film the central relationships that make the film up are all between the protagonist and essentially older men - his father, the Burt Lancaster 'Doc' character and the reclusive writer.

I agree, I think it speaks to men alot more. I can't help but cry when 'Doc' has to make the choice between playing baseball or saving the little girl...gets me every time!

Forrest Gump makes me cry so much...about a million times. and Life Is Beautiful...that does the same. Everyone should watch that film!

That scene is mentioned by a lot of men. Field of Dreams is one film I can't watch without crying, and the scenes that do it for me are that particular one and the scene where he finally plays ball with his dad.

I'm getting lumpy throated just thinking about it....

Other films to add to the list :

Casablanca - The Marseillaise scene and the famous 'Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of.' speech.
Paths of Glory - the bit at the end where they finally get taken out to be shot.
Angels with Dirty faces - where James Cagney decides to go to the Electric Chair as a coward because his friend the priest asks him to.
The end of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' where they take Blanche away to the Asylum.
To Kill a Mockingbird

Night night!

Quite a few films have made me misserable, but not cry, and the second time I see them it has no effect at all, I'm emotionally crippled I think.

"stand by me" gets me every time:(

Not a weepie but I always get the feeling that Fight Club was very much a film that spoke more to men than women - I've known plenty of women who enjoyed it but not many who were affected by it. Sweeping statement I know but this is just an in my experience observation!

Totally agree ....truly madly deeply has me in tears each time i see it
and i bought lion king on dvd last year so the 1st time i watched it i didnt expect to cry buckets when simbas dad died but i did!

Other than that most films make me fill up...but got to be on my own...dont want boyfriend seein mi' soppy rooorin'

The Champ made me cry I was twelve and sat with my parents my brothers and my evil aunty who was 14. I tried so hard to hide the tears but my evil aunt spotted mine and in a bid to hide her own tears pointed at me and shouted look jons crying.

The evil cow bag, very very humiliating as I was going through a being tough period and every one saw me for what I was, a puff who cried at sad endings, still do today but in private, ha

The green mile is a tear jerker to, still feel sorry for john coffe now. Very good film that one.

armageddon. it is such a sad film:sad:
forest gump is a sad film but doesnt make me cry.
lion king doesevery time.
titanic wen they close gates & all those poor ppl & children r cryin.
theres probly more but cant fink of any more rite now lol.

i'm such a wimp wen it comes 2 films.:confused: dunno y

I've seen most of the films listed but few have made me cry. You may think this is odd reading some of my recent posts but I can't cry when the plot is so obviously unrealistic - the awful lie in Forrest Gump just makes that film a bag of ****e - any one it seems can be president even the retarded is the message (yeah right - if you are white and male and rich)

One that does make me cry everytime (and you BNP lot will hate this) is a film called American History X - When the Ed Norton comes out of pris and has turned his back on Neo_nazism to save his little brother who is going down the path that landed him in jail. But he is just too late and he his there at the murder of his baby brother in the toilet of the high school- i was in buckets. He was just to late and the destructive nature of the folly of his youth, you know, will be with him for all his life - there is little forgiveness - think on racists

Awful lie in Forrest Gump?

I don't know what you mean. In the movie he never became president. He visited the White House to receive a medal for saving lieutenant Dan's life.

There was a funny scene where he drops trou to show then President Johnson where he was wounded. And embarrasses the heck out of his mother.

I agree some of Forrest's adventures were a little hard to swallow. But then, it's a movie. Just entertainment.

That's all I have to say about that. lol

Shawshank Redemption.

A bit dated but - Its a Wonderful Life and To Sir with Love when Lulu sings to her teacher.

The film is meant to be like that though, his adventures are in contrast to his mentality and gentle nature. That's what makes him so endearing to the viewers.

Finally someone has mentioned this amazing film.

Another one that gets me is the end of 'Scrooge' starring Alistair Sim. When him meets Bob Cratched in the snow (sob).

Another good British one, anyone seen it, "Goodnight Mr Tom" with John Thaw, all about a little mistreated evacuee boy in the war.... it's making me cry now thinking about it....

ET made me cry as a child (in fact, I came out of the cinema sobbing with my mum), but not now, I don't think. Hey Lestat, honey, doesn't Michael Jackson own ET's bones, or sumfink?

:thumbsup:

I remember sobbing to 'Bambi' as a child at the movies. 'The Champ' that's annother tear jerker.

I cried reading the book of 'The Green Mile', and was inconsolable for about an hour after watching the film (boyf wouldn't let me go to the pictures to see it cos he knew what would happen!). I've never cried at a book before.

Also ET got me in a state the other day. And Titanic is another one - but not cos of the love story (that's tosh), but because of the disaster.

And Legends of the Fall has me in buckets too. I know it's a pants film, but it's soooo sad.

But I think Schindler's List is the one that makes me cry the most.

PMSL!! :P It was a made up rumour that MJ tried to buy the elephant mans bones. He likes E.T because it reminds him of himself, his life and how too much attention can be a bad thing.

MJ also won a grammy for doing the narration for E.T in the Audio Books category.

Well read between the lines ffs

What the film does is propergate the myth of the American Dream that anyone can become anything despite their background - when the truth is that America is one of the most divided societies. If you are born poor and black or retard you have **** all chance in the capitalist system that serves only to separate the population -- It ain't JUST entertaiment - its cultural brainwashing. wake up and smell the soda:|

It's just a film!?

It's not brainwashing at all....jesus.

No miniminch is 100% correct here.

Most films generally have hidden meanings- part of the fun of watching them is to work them out.

I know films have hidden meanings. I'm not stupid!

I'm just saying I don't think Forrest Gump has a hidden agenda like the one Miniminch says.

Still, Forest Gump is a brilliant film- I'm sure we can agree on that! :thumbsup:

Damn.

Someone better go tell my black neighbor. The LAWYER. And while you're at it, go tell her sister. THE DOCTOR. And maybe let their mother, also A LAWYER in on this. My neighbor's parents came to California from Mississippi in the early sixties. They worked hard, got Government subsidies to go to school, and made something of themselves. They are some of the nicest, most hard working (as in give back to the community) most decent, fair minded people around. The mother (a retired attorney), especially is absolutely amazing. I wish she were my mom!

And maybe someone should inform this woman:

ok, back to the simple question 'which films make you weep?'

No one has yet mentioned the disturbing film 'Sleepers' yet!
The end scene when all the lads are around the table and having what will be their final drink together was rather sad.:sad:

errrr 1 - this is sheffield England by the way - so forgive me if i have no idea but we only just got the talkies - this is not the sheffield in the USofA

And 2 - I was refering to poor blacks who are statistically more likely to end up in prison or die of drug incidents (poverty or stupidity? - you choose) (so I ain't refering to all of the people)

And 3 - when i say brainwash, i didn't mean it in the general - conspiricy type way - only 'that they would like to have you believe' type way-

And 4 - its nice that you have the inequality deal sorted now in the Us - that Bush has done a good job (he's even hired a black person - and a woman - bonus!!!!!!!!!- (psssss - don't give her the keys to the limo))

And 5 - You know there is one thing worse than a racist and that is a black racist - you're like the people who quit smoking who hate smokers more than non-smokers!!

And 6 what the weather like there:) :o

oh Bambi's good - anyone?

Awwww mini, mini, mini.

I like saying that... mini, mini, mini.

We are never gonna agree on this. Let's just let it go, no hard feelings. I'm assuming you're not calling me a racist, and if you are, I forgive you anyway. I certainly don't want to fight. You have more testosterone than I do, heh.

The weather here isn't so good right now. Fog, fog, and more fog. The sun hasn't come out all day today. At least no snow or ice, though. In another month, it'll be glorious.

Weepy movie? The Three Godfathers.

Of course my dear - it would be so rude too - shame about the fog - bloody pea-souper is it?
I've not seen The Three Godfathers but i have seen The Godfather parts 1 , 2 and 3 and thought they were good.
And i wasn't calling you a racist - but I'd advise you to see the film American History X - if you like to see a film about how race and in-particular immigration are still major issues and how white male 'testosterone' fuel hated of difference can still breed inequality and hardship for those that live with that inequality.
Its nice that you mentioned educated black people as a way foward. What is good about that movie is how Ed Norton (the racist) is not poor or stupid and he even has a black principle at school who turns him on to education when he's a child. And, touchingly, saves him when he's in prison for racist crimes. It is about how negative role models can damage even the most gifted minds and the awful legacy when intellect is channelled into hated for the ends of a manipulative minority.
i think its good that Dr Rice has that particular promotion but i think you may have to agree that a woman or a black person in the white house is a step nearer but still a long way off.
We're having a heat wave here - pass the ice bucket sybill!!:)

Moulin Rouge anyone?

we were 5 watching it and could bearly hear what was being said by the end :(

Thanks mini,

American History X. Hmmm, haven't seen it yet. I'll have to rent it.

I mentioned my neighbor because I like her. Her and her mother and sister are good people. As I said before, her mother especially is an amazing woman. This lady was raised in the segregation era South. One of her uncles was actually lynched in the 1920's. Yet she doesn't view herself as a victim, and is one of the kindest, most loving people I've ever met.

She graduated from law school at a time when most lawyers were men, never mind black women. She's truly an inspiration, and everyone who knows her loves her.

Racism is very complicated here. There's many groups. Some groups overlap, and alot of people are of more than one, two or even three races.

My own experience with racism occured before my husband and I were married. I have one grandparent with quite a bit of native american blood. No one had ever said anything about this before, so I was shocked and dismayed to hear my husband's Aunt criticize me for this. Like I had any control over it?!!

Racism strikes at the very essence of a person. It was my husband's Aunt judging and disliking me simply for who I was, before even knowing me. It was unfair, and it made me very, very angry. I managed to keep my mouth shut then, and over the years whenever Auntie made an insensitive remark. And she kept 'em coming.

The last one was expressing approval that our kids "looked white". (Good lord, this woman had NO tact!!) My kids are both blondish, although my daughter has brown eyes. However, you'd never guess that my blue eyed son was the great grandson of a Crow indian.

Did I mention that Auntie passed away a couple years ago? :clap:

Anyway, more weepy movies: The Seventh Sign with Demi Moore.

Steel Magnolias with Julia Roberts. Both good movies, but keep the tissues handy!

:) Sierra

I can highly recommend American History X.


Some parts of it are pretty painful to watch though- beware

Film rarely produces a moist-eyed reaction from me. However, there is one exception, which some might find curious. In the film Kes, there is a scene where the boorish elder brother ["Jud"] is seen walking through sunlit woodland, on his way to a shift at the mine. Two of his workmates greet him as he nears the pit gates, asking him why he is not, "on top of the world" on such a beautiful morning. Jud replies, "I'll be at the bottom of it in a minute".

Perhaps it is the juxtaposition of the sunlit wood with the grim reality of the brutal [and brutalised] character's daily working life, just around the corner, that has the effect? At any rate, it is a scene I find difficult to watch. Jud is every bit as tragic as his younger brother, if not more so.

It's worth watching for Woopie Goldbergs performance, you can fast foreward through all the mushy stuff.

The last film I cried at was Million Dollar Baby, I defy you not to cry!!!

Faramir's charge against the Morgul Orcs at Osgiliath in ROTK gets me weeping for some reason; the combination of heroic futility, fatalism, rampant hatred and the haunting "Mist & Shadows" in the background.

But then I cry at the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth.

I agree with loads of the films already mentioned, Sleepers, A Wonderful Life and Seventh Sign being among them.
One that faintly rings bells, had Kevin Bacon and some woman whose having a baby 'She's having a Baby' or is it Maybe Baby?
Jack And Sarah, another brit flick, when Sarah dies AAAArrrggghhhh and there's a few other scenes which are tearjerkers.

dirty dancing still gets me, heard THE song this morning on radio - got the old ticker beating. what a film

boyz in the hood

classic film, one to watch

water ship down

The Lion King
The Green Mile
My Girl

Too many to list (I'm a total wuss!), but the one that gets the most is the ending of City of Angels with Meg Ryan and Nicolas Cage.

Just seen 'Big Fish' and got to agree that it's one of the best films ever! it's just such a simple story - made into lots of simple stories with an amazing cast and the brilliant 'Ewan Mcgregor'.

If you haven't seen it yet, watch it whenever you get the chance and forget all about reality for a few wonderful hours. :thumbsup:

OMG That makes me so mad the ending of that film!!! He gives up everything for the woman he loves and she dies!!!! The injustice!!!! :rant: :cry: I hate films like that - it's like when the wee boy dies at the end of Pay it Forward.

Another film with him in is AI - i watched that at the movies with my son and at the end when he gets his mum back but just for one day OMG!!! Me and my son looked at each other and it was just big fat silent tears rolling down our cheeks. I thought i was gonna choke the lump in my throat was so big!!

Also Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan, The DeerHunter, Meet Joe Black, Boys Don't Cry, lol the list goes on. The one I get the most ribbing for is the cartoon The Iron Giant :blush: At the end when the robot is on a collision course with the nuclear weapon in order to save the world and he shouts "Superman" :( I burst into tears first time I seen that I was so moved!

3.) The Lion King
4.) The Patriot
5.) Old Yeller
6.) Bambi
7.)What's Eating Gilbert Grape
8.) Titanic
and
9.) The Perfect Storm

Bambi and ET are the only films I've really cried at.. Especially ET at the bit where he "dies" but comes back to life.

Films that make me cry?

I cry with laughter ever time I see a film with Keanu Reeves in it, he can't act at all. And you can include Matrix in that too, it's 5hit.

*The Green Mile

*Titanic

Can't think of anymore at the moment

Schindler's List. Every time I watch it. Pass the tissues please.....

Not cried at a film since I was little but back then it was always "The Snowman" (stop laughing). It's the bit when he melts at the end and the little boy looses his friend.

I agree with American History X and Boyz N The Hood being great films, they are my 2 favs along with Shawshank.

I'm glad it's not just me who always feels sorry for the vampires.

Most films make me cry, there was a period when I took my daughter to see a lot of kids' films and I swear I was in tears by the end of every one of them, even the Pokémon movie (honest), although the Iron Giant made me cry more than all the rest put together.

Singing In The Rain makes me cry because it is so damn good.

titanci makes me cry when they are sinking and the boy (leonardo dicaprio) dies and says

Promise me rose bit you know in his sprit :|

God! I have just watched 'Million Dolla Baby' and I think it rates highly as one of the saddest films I have ever watched. I want lists of the saddest films ever, so when I'm feeling low I can go one step further and weep into oblivion! :D

I mean upset sad, not crap sad by the way!

My personal list (not sure of the right order though)

1. Nicholas' Gift
2. Million Dolla Baby
3. Lorenzo's Oil
4. Green Mile
5. Fried Green Tomatoes

Oooh my minds gone blank - I'll try and think if there's any others and get to you.

Come on! Storm some lists for me.

WM

Yeah I think Ghosts def up there in the top ten....Can't believe I forgot that one...

Any others?

WM

This may sound insane but I think Edward Scissorhands has to be one of the saddest films ever. I love it. It makes me cry a lot. Oh and E.T.

:help:

Yeah E.T...I still cry fresh tears every time I see that film...I was just thinking that Finding Neverland is a really sad but beautiful film too.

When E.T was re-released a year or two ago we took the boy to see it.

Near the end when they think he is dead, this little voice floated across the cinema from the front.

"But Daddy, you said he didn't die" *sobbing*

The whole cinema forgot the alien for a bit and collectivley all went "awwww", at the cute kiddy in the front row.

for films that make me cry the most also have to add pearl harbour!!

The Color Purple - I've never cried so much at a film in my life as the first time I watched this, and it still gets to me every time.

I'd say the saddest film I've ever watched has to be "The Piano" followed by "Moulin Rouge."

I think its the sad sound track that got to me in both cases.

I still havent watched The Colour Purple - and dont hate me for saying I dont really know what it's about!

My friend mentioned Pearl Harbour, but I havent watched that either. I have it on DVD but it has been viewed.

WM

I got told what happend in Moulin Rouge and thought it would spoil it for me. So I watched it anyway - I cried so much! lol..you know when you start making noises like you cant breathe and your mouth is full of saliva.....hmmm pretty picture :rolleyes:

WM

Bjorks Dancer in the Dark
Truly, Madly, Deeply
Trainspotting

OI TRIPE LOVA I'M IN HERE!

For me it was Brave Heart - I cried buckets.

Life is Beautiful
Leaving Las Vegas
Pure

Philladelphia , especially at the end:(

well my saddest films are as follows:

1. watership down
2.rapunzel
3.sleeping beauty
4.when yuko met me
and last but certainly not least

5.the pixie massacre

YES 'When Yuko met Me' was one of the saddest filmed ever created! The bit when the soliders of the Nebraska fall to their deaths and when the leader of the Full Moon daughter dies sue to the tripe poisoning....Gosh! I cried so much

WM

The Green Mile always makes me cry. So does the Lion King when Mufassa dies.

Saddest film - and I'll get some stick for this one - Love Story.

Always brings a tear to my eye.

Dragon

'Beaches' made me roar for DAYS!!

'Wisdom' brings a few tears to my eyes.

The Notebook - very underrated - made me cry most of the way through. Managed to exert some control in the cinema but when I watched it at home...True love never dies/people growing old together and still loving each other always gets me and the fact that it's an unrealistic expectation makes me cry all the more. *Sigh* Back to cynic mode now...

Watership Down
Christmas in August

mine is


---- my girl

i cry my eyes out everytime

Oh this is sooooo difficult for me as I like to see people get killed and cut up in films, with plenty of action.

Also like sci-fi films where they are blowing planets up and ships.

Also like horror films,

So ... after 3 mins and 14 secs thinking it has to be :

Watership Down

sob sob sob < see cryin now>

Titanic, what a load of crap that film is i couldn't wait to get out of the cinema.

People alsways used to mention 'Beaches' to me and I hadn't seen it. They said how wonderful it was but very sad.

So I sat down and watched it - cried a bit - wasn't very impressed on thw whole though.

I kept my composure throughout Dancer in the Dark and I thought I thought I'd beaten it. Then about 6 seconds before the end credits rolled I started sobbing my eyes out! Very moving ending.

Also, inside I'm dancing.

Lol - bit of a dancing theme.

Have to agree with Green Mile.

Also, Big Fish and Forrest Gump.

Lassie Come Home. Animals just get me crying.

the answer is easily GREEN MILE

Oh no, don't get me started on animal films - I'll be sobbing all night :(

Born Free;
Tarka the Otter;
Ring of Bright Water;
The Incredible Journey.

:help:

Other than that :D :

Sommersby;
Backbeat; and
Heaven Can Wait

Heaven knows I'm miserable now....

StarSparkle

Sorry you lot..i got you beat hands down..
The champ..with a certain Mr voit,and a very young Ricky Schroider..the ending were's he's telling his dad..come on champ.wake up ..awesome ending never fails to bring on the water works

jt

I'd go with Sommersby. I remember leaving a cinema surrounded by people who'd all mysteriously got something in their eyes.... :)

Backbeat was a good one as well.

I can think of lots of moving films but few that I'd put in to the category of sad. I suppose I'd add :

The Remains of the Day.
A kid for two farthings
Whistle down the Wind

Joe

Inside I'm dancing made me cry buckets.

Also .....

Jack and Sarah - The scene with Jack waking up in hospital is so upsetting.

Mask (with Cher) - You know what is going to happen from the beginning but it still makes you cry.

The Boy in the Bubble

Pay It Forward

Starting to think that all the films I watch are depressing :suspect:

I cried buckets at Armegeddon, I think it was the soundtrack that made it sadder

'Beaches' did it for me
Oh and the DVD version of 'The Butterfly effect'
A very old film called 'I know my first name is Steven'
Philidelphia

I also cry at Lion King, Bambi and free willy!!!

Oh and a film about an alcoholic mother and Whoppi Goldberg is in it - cried all the way through it, but can't remember its name.

my girl , think it was made in 1991 it starred the dan ackroyd jamie lee curtis and that brat from home alone it does get better as he gets stung by bees , but it is a very moving film and i always cry when i watch it

I hardly ever cry at films - I have cried at four films in my entire life (that i can remember of anyway) :

1. Beaches - I sobbed and sobbed for days.
2. Forrest Gump
3. Philadelphia
4. Pay It Forward (cheesy I know but hey it got me !!)

I hate it when you can see a sad bit coming, like in Beaches or Philadelphia, it has no effect on me. I'm more effected by sudden things like when the CSI guy got killed in CSI Miami last week.

The Red Balloon (1956) directed by Albert Lamorisse
Romeo & Juliet (1968) directed by Franco Zeffirelli
Schindler's List (1993) directed by Steven Spielberg

Edit: Should read 1968; don't now where the smillie has appeared from; and unable to edit it out!

its just more shocking really and doesn't make me cry when something happens out the blue.

its the build up of it all that gets me, the lump in my throat, wobbly lip, then the line gets delivered that brings out the hysterics :cry: :cry:

This has to be the only film that made me cry (nearly - of course I sniffed back the tears to maintain my manly exterior):

Life is Beautiful - about a father and son who get taken to a concentration camp during t'war. The guy pretends for the whole film that they're on holiday which is hilarious. He gets killed in the end which is the sad bit.

I remember going to see Titanic (gawd knows why, I knew the ending) at the cinema, there was a couple sat behind me. At the end when Jack is hanging onto the plank (or whatever it is) and is dying the woman behind me was sobbing, but her boyfriend said (realy loudly, in one of those silent moments) "If I were her I'd push him under, no point in them both drowning". I had to do that silent "vibrating" laughing.

one of my favourite all time films. funny, clever, romantic, sad and action in it - what more can you possibly want ?

doesn't make me cry tho but i definatley had a lump in my throat.

Yes Life is Beautiful - truly sad film I wept buckets, but not as much as Il Postino (Italian with subtitles). This is even worse when you know that the main actor was really ill when he made the film and died just before it was released.

Lee1979, Pay it Forward - excellent film and very poignant (not sure how u spell it!)

Kramer vs Kramer!! Have to say that 'Titanic' bored me sensesless.

Philadelphia
Elephant Man

Pay It Forward is one of those films that i would normally not like based on the actual plot as its cheesy american rubbish. but its just so well acted by Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and by the i see dead people kid (Hayley something ????) it just works for me. i think its a fantastic film.

Another of my favourites! Saw it years ago but can just about remember it. I like films that aren't from america.
