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

[friendlyedjit]

"Breakfast at Tiffanys"- when Audrey is calling for "cat" in the rain.

"The Way We Were" sob sob- they were just so right for each other but so wrong.

"Beaches" arghhhhhhh hate it.

"Animal Farm" when Boxer goes off to the knacker's yard and thinks he's being sent off for a well earned retirement....

I could go on and on and on!!

[MrsArchieTheInventor]

Beaches ("can I take my cat?")

Steel Magnolias ("it's better to have a moment of something wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special")

The Railway Children ("daddy, my daddy!")

Orphan Train ("I'm really a girl!")

Brassed Off (pretty much all of the film)

The Full Monty (when they strip off at the end)

Also, it's not a film but it always makes both me and DP cry - episode 10 of the first series of the West Wing "In Excelsis Deo" when Toby and Mrs Landingham attend the Vietnam veteran's funeral with the background music of a schoolboy choir singing Little Drummer Boy.

My Girl- When Thomas J gets stung and dies
Armageddon- When AJ doesn't die
ET- When he gets sick
The Fox and the hound- When the fox gets set free
A Perfect World- When Butch dies
Lorenzo's oil- What isn't sad about it?

Oh god, Truly Madly Deeply...I first saw it about a year after my mum had died suddenly and shockingly, and it left me in absolute bits. When she's playing the piano and hears his cello accompaniment, and the camera pans round and you see him emerge from the corner, and she turns round and he's really there...BAWL. I identified with that quite a lot.

And salsmum I always cry at the same bit in Peggy Sue - when she answers the phone and it's her grandma.

[PortAndLemon]

I actually had a snivel during Mamma Mia -- during "Slipping Through My Fingers" I was bf DD (it was a mother-and-baby screening) and when it got to "What happened to the wonderful adventures? The places I had planned for us to go?" I got all weepy realising that before I knew it she'd be grown up and leaving home. Mind you, it's now three weeks later and she hasn't gone yet ...

[chonky]

oh yes - I'd forgotten about The Notebook

[biglips]

"too young to die" i was sobbing from the beginning to the end.....its the only one ever to this day that ive cried in a movie/film.

[Doobydoo]

Heartburn[sob]
Steel Magnolias
Terms of Endearment[I still weep buckets]
E.T.

[Nappyzoneneedsanewname]

[cornsilk]

I watched 'the Killing Fields' last night. Very sad.

[DontCallMeBaby]

PortandLemon - snap. Three of us in a row, all with only DDs sleeping safely at home in the care of their daddies, all off to school in September ... the other two's DDs are called Sophie as well, just to drive it home!



Everything remotely sad in a film makes me cry, I can't even begin to list them. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest made me howl, as did The Killing Fields.

[cornsilk]

I used to always cry at Whistle down the wind, when they caught the guy at the end and the children were really upset.

[DumbledoresGirl]

Titanic.

I know it is a load of slush, but that bit where she re-visits the ship in her dreams and all the dead people are there to greet her. That gets me every single time.

Love Story, the bit where Ali McGraw is dying is impossible to watch dried eyed too.

[littleboo]

everything now since i've had my children, Braveheart definately, cried the other week when i saw the hannibal film ( not the original - but the one where they told the story of why he became like he was, there was a really sad bit with a little girl. Everything, especially if children are involved.

[moshie]

Lassie Come Home, every time.

Watched The Kite Runner on Friday, brilliant film, lots of tissues needed.

[Carnival]

I watched Iris last night and was sobbing for Scotland. Boohoo.

The Champ
Bambi
Kramer Vs Kramer

[Carnival]

I blubbed my blubbers off at Philadelphia as well, oh and an officer and a gentleman. Cripes, I'm really showing my age

[TillyScoutsmum]

Kramer vs Kramer is a terrible one for me (divorced parents etc). I can't even eat eggy bread/french toast without thinking of it

Is The Kite Runner new ? Have read the book but didn't know there was a film

I'm off to order some of these off Amazon. I love a good blub [freak emoticon]
