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

You could hire me out at weddings and funerals, I cry very easily

Films that make me blub:

Green Mile
Shawshank Redemption
ET
Monsters Inc (when Sully said goodbye to Boo - sniff)
Top Gun (when Goose dies)
Muriel's Wedding
Schindlers List

And they're not films but I also cried at Cold Feet, Blackadder Goes Forth and The Mummy Diaries.

I don't really cry in films. The only time I have was after watcing a French documentary film (Nuit et Brouillard) which had all this footage from the concentration camps. Awful. I was 17 and naive and had no idea.

A clip from my girl, I challenge anyone not to at least let their eyes water!

(HUGE spoiler, don't watch if you're intending to watch the film for the first time).

3andnomore · 16/08/2008 23:17

The Color Purple
A Time to kill
Steel Magnolia
Sissy (it's a german thing, lol)
Green Mile
Watership Down
Ghost

and many more

MrsSnape · 17/08/2008 09:01

Mask (with cher, not Jim Carrey!)
AI (the bit where the woman leaves him in the woods)

I can't really think of any others, I don't get upset easy.

mrsleroyjethrogibbs · 17/08/2008 09:14

the big blue my then boyf and I cried buckets at the end quite unashamedly

JudyJones · 17/08/2008 10:36

The House of Mirth leaves me in bits... and the Kite Runner (which is particularly traumatic is that you can't even hold off until the end)

3andnomore · 17/08/2008 19:47

oh yes Mrs Snaps...Mask is very sad....

betterhalf · 17/08/2008 19:49

The Green Mile. Seen it loads of times and still blub like a baby each time.

Amethyst86 · 19/08/2008 20:55

Watership Down
Last of the Mohicans, where the younger sister steps off the ledge.
Terms of Endearment (predictable).
Schindlers List
The Killing Fields
Thelma and Louise at the end every single time.

Mind you I cry at anything. I always cry at the bit in Friends where Rachel finds out she is pregnant and also when Monica and Chandler find out they can't have kids.

southeastastra · 19/08/2008 20:57

saw stardust (1974 david essex version) last night, made me get teary at the end

lovecat · 21/08/2008 23:23

Ohh, Into the West is such a tearjerker...

Sound of Music

Pan's Labyrinth

Dumbo (where his mum sings 'Baby of Mine' - waaah!)

Celia (the bit where she gets to the quarantine station and finds her rabbit dead - omg I was crying so much I could barely see...)

Kill Bill - that bit where she wakes up at the start and realises she's not pregnant any more and starts screaming - I find that really upsetting

Gallipoli

Blade Runner when Roy Batty gives his wonderful speech 'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...' by the time he says 'Time to die' I'm in bits!

Fantasia 2000 - the Rhapsody in Blue bit, where the little girl just wants to be with her parents and then finally gets them together at the very end - I had to hide my face in the cinema I was crying so much...

3andnomore · 31/08/2008 00:36

I have to add another film to my list!

The Magdalene Sisters

Katw3kitts · 31/08/2008 00:42

Bridge to Terabithia

Funnily enough just watched this earlier this evening with DS and found myself blubbering. I just wasnt expecting that !

I see its been mentioned once or twice.

falcon · 31/08/2008 13:22

Sicko.Most of it made me cry.

Pan · 08/09/2008 22:44

87 Charring Cross Road.

Beaches.

Out of Africa.

Railway Children (obv.)

Howards End made me tearful over how bad it was in missing the crucial line from Margaret Schlegel, and the allowing of Mr W. to live......tragic!!

winnie01 · 21/09/2008 22:41

the Notebook

wooga · 22/09/2008 18:33

I watched The Notebook last night and don't think I've cried that much at a film before-I was sobbing away!!

Just a shame that channel 4 did so many ad breaks during it.
