Films that make you cry.....

[wrinklytum]

Watched "Gilbert Grape" tonight and it made me cry [SHOCK] Silly sod that I am.Though not a major fan of Leonardo Di Caprio I thought his portrayal of a child with Learning disabilities was excellent in this.Of course the marvellous Johnny Depp is delicious in most things.Anyhow,it got me thinking,what are your top movies to have a good old blub to.

I'll add

E.T.(I wept buckets throughout)
Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistlestop Cafe(When the main characters older brother dies,and her best friend dies)
Shawshank Redemption (When he plays the operatic bit across the prison speaker system)

There are loads more,I'm sure..

Your turn

ditto Life is Beautiful,Railway Children, Shawshank and absolutely anything about animals ..... worse one being Two Brothers about the tigers!

The incredible journey - gets me every single solitary time, and i have watched this film loads, both versions. In fact, my eyes fill up when i just talk about it - bastards at work used to talk about the scene when the old dog did finally make it after all, during tea break, just to make me cry!

I cried at jaws when i was a child - they killed the shark and the sea was HIS house!

Pepe le pew cartoons too - he was too stinky to find love.

It's A Wonderful Life

I am an inconsolable wreck just from hearing the theme tune to Brief Encounter.
DH does quotes from it just for the evil pleasure of seeing me sob.

i sooo need to add that one to my list HP, i have it on DVD

"Thankyou for coming back to me"

Railway Children definitely.

Gladiator - "but he just wanted to go home" "...wail..."

Field of Dreams. Rang my parents after watching it the first time, and they thought something seriously bad had happened to me as I couldn't speak for sobbing

Gallipoli.

And for ultimate embarassment - Brother Bear. Totally naff film, but when the little bear gets to hug his 'spirit mother' I'm in floods.

Gilbert Grape
Green Mile
Gladiator
Truly Madly Deeply
Dumbo
Railway Children (god help them if they try to remake that one! grrr)
Steel Magnolias

Moulin Rouge
Muriel's wedding (for the mum)
Silkwood - the only film I have ever been to where the entire cinema walked out in silence when it ended.

and pretty much anything else where something sweer/furry/undeserving dies. I am a bit of a sap .

argh sweet

Oh yes, Moulin Rouge

Yoho - to make you feel better I will tell you that I was in the same state at the end of the final episode of friends when my dad phoned me

Ooh ooh batteries not included!

I do sob easily. Lion King can set me off too. ET was a given really. Stand By Me when I am in the right/wrong mood - River Phoenix disappearing like that....

Old but good....Peggie Sue got married when she goes back in time and tells her now dead Mum how much she loves and misses her

i need to cyr

wasthvcing with interest

railosay chiltren has sparked a few v distance emotions....

gentlyworrytheanimal your list is my list!!
aswell as a few extras like a walk to remember, titanic, stepmom, never been kissed, romeo and juliette, pretty much anything with sad/happy endings makes me weep like a little baby i NEVER used to cry at anything but shame on shame i cried at an advert the other day-and i wasnt even a particularly sad advert and i will most likely get lynched on here for admittin g exactly which advert it is as its widely slated and hated on here
xx ei xx

As long as it wasn't the "have a happy period" one, you should be ok!

I cried at all of the films mentioned I think, except ET for some reaon...My all time favourite has to be It's a Wonderful Life though - it's the best kind of crying, so emotional, but really happy, I do love a good cry !!

The English Patient
Cyrano de Bergerac
Shawshank Redemption

dh sobbed a bit in Cinema Paradiso
If anyone remembers Hayley Mills in Whistle Down the Wind, the bit where 'Jesus' is being arrested and searched - he stands with his arms out as if being crucified ....gulp !!
Mustn't forget ET either
