Name the film that reduces you to a blubbering wreck no matter how often you see it.

For me - Its A Wonderful Life

For me it's Watership Down or I know where the red fern grows. Both about animals... anything with animals in, cartoon or real, makes me cry.

For me its 'An Affair to Remember' with Cary Grant - Beautiful

Name the film that reduces you to a blubbering wreck no matter how often you see it.

For me - Its A Wonderful Life

I concur on that point. Possibly my favourite film of all time.

The Champ!
Really old film about a boxer, but when he dies the little lad just has me bawling trying to wake him up.

Everytime its on I say I`m not gonna watch it, but can`t help it.
My oh hasn`t seen it yet but has walked in on the aftermath(me covered in snot)

The Notebook!
It's not just me, I went to see it in the cinema and I swear everyone in there was sobbing.
Also The Green Mile always makes me teary!

I don't cry... ^_^

(except the other day at P.S I Love You, 'cuz my girlfriend is on the other side of the world. How lame!)

The Fox and the Hound. Hysterical sobbing everytime!

E T makes me really depressed. And anything to do with animals.

Homeward Bound makes me howl, not attractive! Anything with cats or dogs and i'm blubbering straight away!

even garfield the movie made me cry - tho that was just with 'happiness' lol cos love him so much! :hihi:

It's worse when a little moment in a film gets you... i rarely cry at humans but Bruce Almighty, of all films, got me! The scene when she's sat on the bed after they've split up, she looks really heartbroken and it just struck a chord with me and i blubbed in the cinema! Mind you, I also did that at the water horse when they released Nessy! :hihi:

The Fox and the Hound. Hysterical sobbing everytime!

Yeah - that is sad. There is a film about foxes coming out shortly that i guess will have a sad ending. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756648/

But Fantastic Mr Fox is out 2009, voiced by George Clooney (shall I set a stopwatch and see how long it takes patricia to get here). Best fox movie ever!? Well hopefully.

usual typical chick flicks like titanic and pearl harbour :blush: and i sobbed at PS I love you lol. Erm, I'm going to think of an older one that makes me cry now (does bambi count? :blush:!)

The Fox and the Hound. Hysterical sobbing everytime!

Yep, she's right! Just watched it tonight and had the usual result!! I will admit to it being very very sad though!!!

Homeward Bound makes me howl, not attractive! Anything with cats or dogs and i'm blubbering straight away!

My god yes! I remember being about 10 and crying in the cinema when I saw that!! Especially the bit at the end when the old Retriever comes limping across the garden!! I'll have to make Cat watch it, but have a big big box of tissues close by!!

Have you seen the original, The Incredible Journey too?

Don't forget homeward bound 2 as well.....

another sad film for me is all dogs go to heaven. god that makes me soooo depressed!

Don't forget homeward bound 2 as well.....

I never saw Homeward Bound 2, always feared it'd be rubbish and ruin the first one for me! Is it any good?

i think the sequel is as good actually, rare thing to say for a sequel!

Chance gets a girlfriend and it's very soppy (as you'd hope!)

Yeah - that is sad. There is a film about foxes coming out shortly that i guess will have a sad ending. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756648/

Oh no, I'm not going to be able to stop myself watching that am I?:(

And Fantastic Mr Fox! Wow! I didn't know that was going to be made into a film!:love:

Finding Nemo.:o

Terms of Endearment.

Imitation of Life.

An Affair to Remember.

For me its Brother bear, i watched it again yesyerday and it made me cry, it is such a lovely story and great film, comical also.

For me its Brother bear, i watched it again yesyerday and it made me cry, it is such a lovely story and great film, comical also.

I made the mistake of watching this on a plane to Mexico and I sat there crying my eyes out, but having to cry quietly, with eyeliner and mascara running down my face.

I cry also at... Gladiator, and any disney/kids film, oh Crash too.

Flicked onto film 4 last night and I Am Sam came on, with Sean Penn....OH.MY.GOD, cue tears from start to finish.
Dying Young with Julia Roberts always gets me.
Armageddon, when Bruce Willis talks to Liv Tyler just before he goes and saves the world.

I cry at most things, quite easyily. I can always remember mum had to take me out the cinema when i went to see bambi because i couldn't stop crying when his mum got killed. She also had to stop me watching Lassie and the Littlest Hobo on TV. Yes, really.

I am a bit of a serial weeper at films - the worst one for me is "The Green Mile" - just something about it.....I think John Coffey is one of the most wonderful characters ever played in a film and the film just has a certain thing about it that gets to me.

Schindlers List too - blimey....that's a powerful film! Oh I could mention many films that get blubbering - a good friend of mine can't watch "A Beautiful Life" without blurting out - doesn't have that effect on me but we're all different :)

Mick x

So many to choose from, but for me it has always been:

The Railway Children!

It's the bit when the steam clears on the station platform to reveal the children's father and Bobby cries "Daddy, my Daddy!"

It's doing it to me now lol

ET, the bit where he "dies" on the operating table gets me every time :cry:

ET, the bit where he "dies" on the operating table gets me every time :cry:


It's when he's leaving that gets me :(

Moulin Rouge, every time... SHHHHHHH!!

Oh nooo

For me the main one is Beaches, with Bette Midler. I even cried reading the book!!

There are a number of other films that get me too, but that one does it best lol

The Tom Cruise War of the Worlds movie was pretty heart wrenching iMO, purely cos it sucked compared to the 1950s original.

OK it was more relevant to the book, with the Tripods, but why the bits about Cruise's character and his family problems? :loopy: :confused:

Pretty in Pink :blush: I do love that film.

Schindlers List - EVERY time when he sees the red coated little girl.

Absolutely anything with animals in (which is why I try and avoid these sorts of films).

It's a new one, but Sex and the City - when she opens the last email from Big - I cried buckets!!!!! I just know I'll cry next time I see it too (as you HAVE to watch this film again!)

The Elephant Man.

Not strictly in keeping with the thread title, because I haven't watched it in ages, but Shadowlands never fails to have me in tears.

Then again, my tear ducts are very easily manipulated and life's too short to be put on a downer by a director's machinations, which is why I stick mostly to Ghostbusters, Bad Boys II and School of Rock these days :hihi: .

Little Women, when Beth dies - waaaaaa!

Oh nooo

For me the main one is Beaches, with Bette Midler.

Oh, god yes!

Watership Down
Grave of Fireflies
Winter in August
The Mirror

Casablanca

ET, when Elliot asks him to stay, and ET asks Elliott to come with him. Oh, and the end of The Way We Were when she bumps into him after all those years. Oh, and dare I admit it, the end of Nanny McPhee...

The first Lion King, the bit where Mufasa (voiced by James "Darth Vader" Earl Jones) dies... Why do they insist on putting a sad bit in nearly all the animated Disney films? They've done it dating as far back as the original Snow White in the mid 30s.

Tell me about it. I was watching Bambi with my daughter when she was three. At the end she just turned to me and said, "Are you going to die when it's spring?" ... ahhh...

my girl always makes me cry as does forrest gump

I saw a bizzare film, called 'Lars and the real girl' it was one of those that was only in the cinema for a week but if you want to cry i suggest you watch this, blubber fest!

I definately want to see this, missed it when it was on at the cinema so think I'll be having a look online for the DVD soon!!

Tell me about it. I was watching Bambi with my daughter when she was three. At the end she just turned to me and said, "Are you going to die when it's spring?" ... ahhh...

Oh god, Bambi and Watership Down have refused to watch since I was tiny cos I remember being so sad at the end.

I get massively cut up at the end (often beginning and middle too!) of Forrest Gump, everytime. It's a right sob-fest.

Also I howled like a baby when Diggory dies in HP 4, but that's just probably fandom hyperrealism or something!

Blimey, how many do you want??? :sad:

Schindlers List
The Shawshank Redemption
And The Band Played On
Saving Private Ryan
ET

Also, it's not just watching a film, if I hear the music, that will set me off!!

Are you all thinking 'wuss'????

.............................!

Tell me about it. I was watching Bambi with my daughter when she was three. At the end she just turned to me and said, "Are you going to die when it's spring?" ... ahhh...

Aw bless, the innocence of kids eh?

ghost
romeo and juliet
dead mans shoes (i actually cried for a few hours during and after this film)
beauty and the beast! HAHA

I'm such a wimp when it comes to films.

Green Mile makes me cry like a newborn baby.
Moulin Rouge
Watership Down
Bambi (I still can't get over Bambi's mother dying, it traumatised me as a child)
Armageddon

It's a Wonderful Life and the Santa Clause for Christmas films. Green Mile always gets me as well, I always say I won't watch it again, but I always do!

Jack frost! watched it again this morning with the kids and even tho we`ve watched it a million times I still sat there blubbing!

Beaches.

It reminds me of a very beautiful friendship that I had with someone before we were seperated by her death.

:(

armageddon every time even before bruce(what a sexy old man he is)pushes ben affleck back in the lift,even the hubby has tears

Contact, with Jodie Foster. I know loads of people hated it, but it's one of my favourite films of all time. The crushing of her hope - tragic!

Already mentioned:

Lion King
An Affair to Remember
Beaches
Schindler's List

I'd also like to add:
Muriel's Wedding
AI
Four Weddings and a Funeral

I may come back to this thread later to add some more :'(

a few of mine include:-

ghost
shawshank redemption (both sad & happy tears)
green mile
schindlers list
the pursuit of happyness (again sad & happy tears)

Shadowlands. Anthony Hopkins (C.S.Lewis) Crying with his stepson in front of the wardrobe in the attic. I defy anyone to watch this without crying!

The ending for Sonatine always breaks my heart. Everytime I watch it I know it's coming and I still wish it played out differently.

Hana Bi and Kikujiro also tend to make me cry, the former out of sadness, the latter happiness.

In the Mood for Love, although I haven't seen it in a while, would probably set me off too.

'I am Legend'- the bit with the dog :(

or 'Click'- before you realise it's a happy ending!

for me it would be


city of angels
gladiator
ghost

Titanic - yes I know thats bad but it really does. Even my hubby can't watch the scene where the boat is going down and the old couple are laid on the bed holding hands.

for me it would be


city of angels
gladiator
ghost

Oh God yes I forgot about Ghost thats a brill film :)

Field of Dreams does it for me.

I was waiting to see if anyone mentioned Love Story - I know what's coming and I cry before she dies now! And Ryan O'Neill sitting alone in the snow - sob!

Life is Beautiful - i don't just cry, i sob and actually feel ill at the end of it - when the father sees his little boy watching him whilst he's walking with the officer, knowing he's going to be shot and he does the funny walk to make his son think it's all just a game - heart-breaking

and on a lighter note, Charlotte's Web also makes me shed a tear or two..

Ang Lee's 'The Ice Storm' - the overbearing sense of inescapable loss and sadness that pervades the whole film. It doesn't have me in tears, being a bloke and all, but it churns the stomach every time I watch, especially the electrocution scene.

Aw bless, the innocence of kids eh?

I miss Rich. In fact if a film was made of his forum life, I'd cry every time.

A foreign movie Mughal e azam (the great emporer)

And also The phantom of the opera

As a rule I don't cry. Not many films get to me in that way. I will burst out in fits of laughter or throw popcorn over the person next to me if something makes me jump ( the cow in Dog Soldiers for example). There are 2 films that have made me shed a few tears when I first watched them though.

The first K9 when Jerry Lee gets shot! My dog had just died so I was upset anyway.

The second Tombstone When Doc Holiday dies. Really sad even though you know it's coming all the way through the movie.

I must say nothing recent has had any effect on me. Maybe I'm just heartless. :suspect:

I remember years ago, the first time I met my boyfriends parents and we watched Turner and Hooch, my dog had recently died at the vets on the table like Hooch, oh..... I so tried to not show it.

City Lights or anyone of several Ozu films.

For me it's Watership Down or I know where the red fern grows. Both about animals... anything with animals in, cartoon or real, makes me cry.

i agree this one always gets me blubbering watching the bunny lay down to die im welling up now :(

Most recently the film, Marley and me gets me going, it is a real tear jerker.

It's a wonderful life ... without a doubt, makes me cry like a baby!

omg where do i start here lol
ghost
marley and me - the book is better
titanic - the mother putting her children to bed :'(
the green mile - watched it twice yesterday,
beaches - sob sob sob
les miserable - the musical omg do i cry terrible with that (does that one count??)
ladder 49 - breaks my heart
there are a few others but cant think quite at the mo

The one film i blubber at EVERYTIME i watch it is Bridge to Teribithea, it shows how a child can be affected by the death of someone close, and how they build their worlds on imagination - and how they thrive of fantasy and make believe.

I've cried at other films, Moulin Rouge, 40 days of night (lol dont ask), Titanic, Romeo and juliet, The Notebook

But Bridge to Teribithea truelly chokes me up...my dad thought something was seriously wrong first time i watched it cause i was roaring as if id been told bad news lol.

mine is pathetically mighty joe young lol x

Now you've said that I think I need to see Bridge to Teribithea. I'd written it off as some kids' fanatasy but you've sold me on it, thank you!

oh its definately worth watching the cover of the DVD box is decieving lol

The last few minutes of "Artificial Intelligence:AI"

The last few minutes of "Artificial Intelligence:AI"
I only have to think of Teddy and I start welling up!

The English Patient, the ending turns me to liquid.

Schindlers list, obviously.

Also, me and the Mrs took the kids to see Up at the flicks, 10 mins in we looked at each other and both of us had tears streaming down our faces. We were both pretty embarrassed, it's a kids film after all.

I cried at 'up' too, glad i'm not the only one!

Life as a House
Stepmom
The Hasty Heart
Its a Wonderful Life
Marley and Me

I'm a blubberguts

I tend to cry at films like Hotel Rwanda, if only because most of the horror and cruelty is a report of what actually happened and it saddens me so much that there is such cruelty in the world.

I think it's possibly not to do with the film at all because even thinking about it is making me link emotionally to 'Letter to Daniel'. If you never heard this on Radio 4 I'd seriously recommend buying the book- it was a piece about the Rwandan genocide and the meanings of being a new father, written to a newborn baby by his father Feargal Keane, triggered by him finding a dead baby after the Rwandan genocide and when it was first broadcast on 'From our own correspondent' I pulled to the side of the road to have a good cry.

That was a hard read, I can see why you had the pull the car over.

Link to the broadcast for anyone interested.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/41784.stm

Shooting Dogs is another great film centered around the Rwanda massacres, probably even more harrowing than Hotel Rwanda and certainly more explicit.

When Saturday Comes lol

Man on fire (I cant watch Dakota at the end and not cry!! Crreeeeaasssyyyyy!!!)

Pharlap - Old film about the greatest Austrailian racehorse of all time. Incrediable.

My ultimate was Fried Green Tomatos At The Whistle Stop Cafe - Just the most wonderful wonderful film about friendship and makes me blubber!! i had to watch it about 100 times (no joke) to get through it without major tears. Any women out there who havent seen it, BUY IT!!!!

The news clip of Cameron and Clegg claiming victory in the election. Now that IS something to cry about.

-The news clip of Cameron and Clegg claiming victory in the election. Now that IS something to cry about.

Omg Nimrod it gets me every time.. Emotional block? Tears that wont come out? I just look at the state of our government and it does the trick

Dumbo.
Seriously!
That stupid ginger kid!

The film that always nearly gets me going is Bicentennial Man, watching Andrew saying goodbye to Little Miss and finding that she has still kept the little wooden horse he had made for her nearly sixty years earlier.

The Notebook
Titanic
Grave of the Fireflies
Romeo & Juliet

Marley and Me

definately the green mile every single time an i must have seen it at least 8 times!

I may have already said this but dancer in the dark - I have only seen it once and its beautifully done but I am not ready to watch it again its extremely upsetting

Dumbo. When they take his mum away because she went berserk defending him. Has me in buckets every time.

Also the end of Nanny Mcphee! I have no explanation for this at all!!

marley and me always cry my eyes out at the end x

Just thought on, "Legends of the Fall". Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Aiden Quinn, among others...

This film makes me, a 22stone giant, blubber like a baby. What I find strange is that I've watched it with a few man friends, every one of which was reduced to tears, yet whenever I've watched it with a woman, they looked at me, stony faced, like there was something wrong with me.

Any women filled up at this film, or is it just the brotherhood/father and son themes that set men off?

Bamby always sets me off

Every time I watch Santa Buddies. Not because it's a sad story with moving performances but because I'm so upset at the amount of film that has been wasted and that Disney would lower their standards to such a level. Seriously, a dog that thinks it's street calling everyone "dawg" while it break dances? It's enough to make anyone cry in dismay.

eastenders lol

Hard to admit this being a man..... but the studio Ghibli movie 'grave of the Fireflies' had me in tears.

It is an animated movie from Japan set around the time of the firebombings. It's about a brother and his young sister coping and trying to survive after their parents are killed in the attacks. They go about, finding places to sleep trying to find food etc and trying to live their lives.

At the beginning, it shows you a glimpse of the end of the movie. at the very end you see the two children sitting against posts at a train station, both had died.... fireflies buzzing around I think representing their souls leaving their body's.

Brings a tear to my eye just typing this..... I highly recommend this movie.. it is not to be missed.

Wow there are so many. Haha. I cry at adverts. But to name a couple.....
Pay it Forward
City Of Angels
My Girl

I know there are loads more that I would always cry to but seriously the list would go on and on. Lol.

lovely bones made me cry
narnia (when aslan has his mane shaved off)
green mile
schindlers list
boy in the striped pyjamas
marley and me
legends of the fall
i am sam
anything with kids getting hurt makes me cry hate those films

and an update from me... The Judy Garland/James Mason version of A Star Is Born, the end just has me in floods of tears.

Oh nooooooo i cry at loads of films
Ghost
City of Angels
ET
Sound of Music
Bambi
Marley and Me the lists endless lol i just love a good cry :)

Some films make me cry in a 'good way' as in you know its not real and its just a self-indulgent little weep - Lion King, Life is Beautiful, An Affair to Remember - all ones that have already been mentioned. But a film that makes me cry every time in a bad way because it truly was upsetting for me - The Piano. Yet I keep watching it!

The Road.

"papa!...papa!"

Alien Resurrection when the Alien was sucked through the window into out of space, so sad

The Railway Children - 'Daddy, my Daddy!'

The Green Mile. Always a tearjerker

Homeward bound, bambi, fox and the hound.. They all have that effect on me also

My Sister's Keeper....when I read the book I sobbed for about an hour until my mum came in and asked "what ever was the matter"

Yeah it's a wonderful life is a terror for the waterworks. I have a couple of cartoons too: bearfoot gen and one I can't remember the name of about a little girl hidding in the woods from the nazis who has very few matches. She tries to knock a bridge down so they can't run the trains so they can't take people to concentration camps. Sob, sob, sob.

THIS: http://vidi.vu/zLComg/ started to well up 2seconds in, I can't watch these Disney films no more, I don't know how I didn't become a massive depressive at 5 years old!

Nobody else cried when watching Up? At the beginning with his wife, I was crying within about 30 seconds of switching the film on.

Marley and Me and Turner and Hooch for obvious reasons. Watched Marley and Me on a flight home from Egypt a couple of years ago, only a couple of months after my golden lab had died. Fella tried to warn me and told me not to, and I was adamant I would be fine. Well, I wasn't and cried for the last half hour or so of the film pretty much constantly.

As for ET - I only cried when I was little but that was in fear not out of sadness (and it still terrifies me even now)

Schindlers List!!!!!!!

Disneys The Lion King... It gets me every time!
That and Princess and the Frog lol.

Before i had my kids it was
bambi
dumbo
cudjo (felt sorry for the dog not the people)
titanic from the poin where the ship starts to sink properly
watership down

since i had my kids nearly anything makes me cry being a mum has made me soft lol

defo Born free
what a tear jerker, cried as a child and the other has a grown up


forgot also "on golden pond" with jane and henry fonda ^^^brilliant^^^

The Lovely Bones near the end when she hugs the little girl who is a victim of the same murderer. The music is so haunting it makes me cry.:(

for me it has to be the ending in E.T and i know its not a film but what about the very tearful ending of LOST

Seven Pounds....i was uncontrollable for 40 minutes after the film!

Nobody else cried when watching Up? At the beginning with his wife, I was crying within about 30 seconds of switching the film on.



I also cried when I watched Up from the start . .. so no your not alone there.

Other animations: Wall E and The Lion King get me every time.

The Notebook
The Green Mile
City of Angels
and like the poster further up i also cry at Titanic (even though I knew at the start the ship would sink)
and also not forgetting Ghost

there probably is more but I cant think at the moment

Marley and Me, watched it once, refuse to watch it again! :(

Dr Zhivago. Just thinking about the theme tune sets me off.

Marley and Me, watched it once, refuse to watch it again! :(I recommend that you do NOT watch Hachiko (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachi:_A_Dog's_Story), then.

It's about par with M&M, if not 'worse'.

It doesn't make me cry as such, but I've always found a passage towards the end of "Empire of the Sun" to be quite emotional: when Christian Bale (a very very young Christian Bale) stands amongst other children, to be reunited with their parents at the end of the hostilities, and his mum & dad just walk by him a couple of times, not recognising him at once, marked as he is by his period of imprisonment in a Japanese POW camp.

It's just the way he looks during that passage, the expressions on his face, in his eyes. He manages to get all that emotion across, clear as crystal across the screen, without a single word. No wonder he has developed into that calibre of actor, he was already powerful then, as a kid!

So difficult and sooo many!
