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

My sister thinks I'm a steel-skinned heartless bitch because I dont cry at these films - E.T? Nope. Steel Magnolias? Nope. It's A Wonderful Life? Not even a lip tremour which led to her response (shouted) What, not when he's being slapped and his ear bleeds and he's bawling?? Heartless cow - you're no sister of mine !!

But then I bawl every fucking time the choir sings their first song in Sister Act. It's not sad at all, but Mary Patrick's voice just sets me off!!!
Then there's Gorilla's in the Mist.

But the worst/best film for making me cry is Pay It Forward. OMG!! The outcome for Trevor and that last scene ... tears, shoulder shakes, snot, the works.

No apostrophe needed in gorillas - just in case GrammerPolice is reading

City of God
Au Revoir les Enfants
Railway Children (natch)
Cinema Paradiso
Mamma Mia is strangely emotional too!

DP had to be dragged blubbing from a cinema in Rome after watching Stepmom! He is an even bigger cinema wuss than me .

[MeAndMyMonkey]

Meant to add that we got Schindlers List out on lovefilm and were both too wussy to watch it so sent it back !

There's a bit in Return of the Jedi that always gets me. During a big battle scene, one of the Ewoks is hit and falls down dead. There's another Ewok with him and he tries to make him get up and realises he is dead and makes this sad sound Gets me every single time (DP is a Star Wars freak, I've seen it a lot). DP thinks it's hilarious that I cry at a dead Ewok so always watches me during that bit. He's also worked out that I'll cry if he even describes that scene.

Oh and I sobbed like a baby during Whale Rider.

Why has this old thread been resurrected?

I just read through it, thought fuck me, I have already posted on this - then looked at the date, last Year^.

[AstronomyDomine]

my fault - I was looking for something else and this came up; thought it was the one I was looking for and posted. Sorry

Out of Africa. First time I watched it I came into the room DP was sitting in and he thought someone in my family had died I was sobbing so much. It took me ages to calm down enough to explain.

Ooh shit, I'm watching Out of Africa as I type..who dies???

Up Close and Personal, the boots with the red laces

Having said that, I'm pg at the moment and cried at Extreme Makeover Home Edition the other day....
