films you cry to? go on i know u do!

[Tortington]

in the same vain of songs what films make you blubber?

Cinema Paradiso

...whats that one with Natassia(?) Kinski.....Paris, Texas

absolutely anything that's soppy

Can't ever remeber but the name, but a v. old film, with Lana Turner as a film star, her daughter, a black maid and the maids daughter. The two girls grow up together, and teh black girl passes herself off as white becuase she's ashamed of her background, behaves terrible and then misses her Mum'd death and comes back and sobs on the coffin being pulled by 6 black horses with white plumes. Every time it's repeated on TV my gran (with whom I first watched it when 7) calls me and I tuck myself up in bed with a box of tissues. Sad I know but...

Somebody please say you've seen it and tell me what it's called - I'm going crazy trying to remember now.

prufrock - Imitation Of Life - love that film. I share Lana Turners birthday and my dad was a big fan so I was raised on her films

I love Paris Texas, we have the soundtrack and love the bit where he's telling the story of him and her.
Pay it forward made me cry, so did A.I for some reason.

Green Mile
Kramer v Kramer
The Champ
An Affair to Remember
Brief Encounter
The King and I
Billy Elliot
Mary Poppins
Almost anything with an animal and nearly every Disney Cartoon!

Shenandoah - is that right? with James Stewart - an epic western.

Agree about Imitation of Life.

1st time i saw love Story I howled. Saw it recently and cringed!

It's a Wonderful Life, an officer and a gentleman at the end (sad, I know)...and Room at the top, IIRC but saw it a long time ago. Billy Elliot because his mum died and actually, also add any film where a parent or child dies or is horribly injured.

After watching the Deerhunter (Robert De Niro) I sobbed myself to sleep - still can't watch it now, it's just too tragic ...

I actually cry at anything ... sobbed when Helen Daniels died in Neighbours!!! Dumbo is also a big weepie for me - that bit when he is cradled in his mummy's trunk when she is locked up is just ... too ... much ... sniff, sniff ...

In fact all films where babies lose their mothers or a parent - Bambi, the Lion King, The Land Before Time, any of the Lassie films ... I am such a water tap it can be embarrassing!!!

THe only films I can remember really crying at was Gone with the Wind and an old black and white 2ndWW film which I can't even remember the name of. Main reason for this is that my dh and eldest dd take the p**s out of me at the first sign of any tears.
Re what Ghosty was saying, my 2nd dd is just the same but only when children lose their father (she's a bit of a daddy's girl). She cried when Simba's father was killed in the stampede in the Lion King and as for the bit in The Little Princess where Sarah's father can't recognise her, she's in absolute floods every time she sees that.

Philadelphia
Fried green tomatoes
To kill a mockingbird
Sleepless in Seattle
Schindlers list
Lorenzos oil
The five pennies (old Danny Kaye movie)
The orphan train
Dumbo
and any film with dying parents and children. I also cry at the new cadburys advert where the mum watches her son play football. The boy has a chunk of chocolate and says 'you make a great dad mum' boo hoo hoo!!!

Truly Madly Deeply. Firstly when Alan Rickman comes back to her as a ghost and she collapses in floods of tears, and then at the end when he sadly lets her go to her new man, and goes back to the 'other side'. I always watch it with a box of tissues and some chocolate!

Truly,Madly Deeply gets my vote too. Also 'Missing' with Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek. There was a killer weepy film on recently, called 'Meet Joe Black' I think, with Brad Pitt. Really sad. My dh thought I was nuts!

The end of Ghost gets me every time - I'm always reduced to a withering mess.

Forgot Truly Madly Deeply, and Ghost. And Pete's dragon - does anyone remember that? It's the most wonderful kids film ever.

Oh, Glitterbabe, me too about the advert with the mum and son - glad it's not just me blubbering!

Awww Ghost and Moulin Rouge are the two that spring to mind, although I can cry at anything if I'm in that sort of mood!

Jean de Florette / Manon des Sources - I howled at the end - I mean big gulpy embarrassing sobs!

Mouline Rouge got me too.

Just remembered, as a 13 year old I watched Galipoli - had no idea it would end so badly as new nothing of the subject - became so hysterical I woke my mother up!

Don't actually cry after films but The Glenn Miller Story is the exception.

Well, we went to see Lilo & Stitch this morning, and dd2 spent most of the film in tears. I'm sure Disney didn't intend it to be a weepy, but every time there was a bit of sad music, or one of the characters looked a bit mournful, it set her off. She's such a sweetie.

WWW, I sobbed through "It's a Wonderful Life" too! I only saw it for the first time a few years ago (at Christmas, on the big screen), and can't wait to see it again. The problem with these old films is that the credits aren't long enough for you to dry your eyes before the lights go up!

prufrock, i think it's "peyton place".
