Movies that make you cry
 
Admit it. We've all got them. I just watched Deep Impact and I cried. Probably because I'm a girl.
I also cried at the end of Black Beauty and Ice Age. And Children of Men, and Blood Diamond. I think that's my list for now...oh, and Ladies in Lavender.

I SUCK!

Beaches (only when Wind Beneath My Wings plays at the end)
Once Were Warriors (it's from New Zealand, a must see)
When A Man Loves A Woman (Andy Garcia, Meg Ryan)
Armageddon (when Gracie says goodbye to her dad)
The Patriot (when Susan finally speaks and begs her dad not to go)
My Girl (IT HURTS! THE BEE STINGS!)

I think that's about it.

YES.

Also "Beaches," and "Field of Dreams."

lauralaylin 03-18-2007 06:47 PM

Steel Magnolias. I just break down every time.

UofISigKap 03-18-2007 07:38 PM

Oh, I am so happy to know I am not the only one that cries at Field of Dreams. Some movies I cry the first time, but after that, meh, sad, but not crying. Dreams though?? Every freakin' time!
Armageddon, Legends of the Fall, Braveheart, White Squall, Meet Joe Black, and The Patriot get me too.

Diamond Darlin’ 03-18-2007 07:49 PM

first movie i ever cried at was bridge to tarabithin (sp) and it wasent even done that well, I mean like the book was even more sad and i didnt even cry at that so i dont knwo what happened but it was a killer!!

BabyPiNK_FL 03-18-2007 08:45 PM

Um...

Indecent Proposal

Forrest Gump (the theme music)

Little Miss Sunshine
(when the Grandpa doesn't wake up, that's how my Grandpa died, only he wasn't doing drugs! I swear that was probably the worst crying I've ever done in a theater!)

Dream Girls
(I hate that song "You're gonna love me" but when Jennifer Hudson sings it, it makes me bawl)

Beaches!

Any movies that makes you cry, I cry. So all the sad ones that I've seen.

Imitation of Life(1959) The Scene when Annie is on her death bed chokes me up every time. The ending as well.

Titanic

The Color Purple

ETA How could I forget Brian's Song?

KSUViolet06 03-18-2007 09:30 PM

*The Color Purple (generally sad because the main character can't seem to get a break for most of her life)

*A Bronx Tale (the kid goes to tell Sonny that he thinks the black girl is "the one" and Sonny gets shot *tear*)

*Stepmom (I can't imagine what it would be like to know that you are dying)

*Imitation of Life (when Sarah Jane runs through her mom's funeral parade crying after deny her mom for most of her life)

*Schindler's List (seeing the little girl in red coat dead toward the end of the movie)

I cried a lot at this and tried to hide it from my boyfriend. I never met my maternal grandfather but I imagine our relationship would have been very similar to Olive and her grandfather's.

And yeah, Schindler's List. And the new version of Anne Frank-literally tears streaming down my face endlessly.

piscesbabi09 03-18-2007 10:16 PM

No matter HOW many times I see it (and it is one of my fav movies of all times) I bawl when Dotty is on the bed crying (after Betty got the letter about her husband) and in walks Bob. Boo-freaking-boo-hoo fest at my house. My husband thinks its hilarious - I could be doing anything in the world, but the second that scene starts, I am in tears.

My favorite movie & yes I cry every time... Stand by Me - knowing the "real" outcome of their lives is pretty sad too :(

tld221 03-18-2007 11:45 PM

Antwone Fisher - that whole movie, between the way Ms. Tate treats the kids, through to the end.

i'm sure there are others, but that's all i can think of.

I'm the same way. However, I also don't like watching movies over again (unless it's been a few years and I don't really remember the whole movie), so the following are movies that made me cry when I saw them...don't know if I would cry again if I watched them now.

Fried Green Tomatoes
Forrest Gump
Life Is Beautiful
The Lion King
50 First Dates (the ending)
My Girl
Titanic

A lot of the movies other posters have listed, I haven't seen yet. I definitely want to see The Notebook but I think I need to rent it and watch it by myself. Stories about people that are deeply in love but are kept apart and must overcome obstacles to finally be together are almost guaranteed to make me cry. Just the other day, I was watching Jane Eyre on PBS (because there was nothing else on since I don't have cable) and that made me cry.

TotallyWicked 03-19-2007 01:20 AM

Selena, first time I saw it (maybe because I actually followed her career when she was alive), during the vigil :(

La Bamba..RITCHIE!
Lion King-Mufasa dying, I first saw it in the 4th grade..def had me almost crying
Mi Familia-the end
Platoon-William H. Macy is left behind
Home Alone 2-first time I saw it, then end when he was saying goodbye to the lady
Soul Food-Mama Joe dying
Philadelphia-Video montage at the end

I can never seem to empathize with Titanic or Romeo and Juliet...I'm always like meh

33girl 03-19-2007 01:53 AM

Peggy Sue Got Married
Breakfast at Tiffany's
The Way We Were (the ending)
League of Their Own - the ending and I cry whenever I hear Madonna sing that damn playground song.

The first 2 might not make sense to most people, but they remind me of my mom which is what does it.

Jill1228 03-19-2007 02:11 AM

Ghost
Lion King
Terms of Endearment
Color Purple

KDAngel 03-19-2007 02:32 AM

AGDee 03-19-2007 05:52 AM

I forgot StepMom. That one's the worst for me... at Christmas time, when she's essentially saying goodbye to her kids with those gifts.

LeslieAGD 03-19-2007 06:03 AM

I watched Annie this weekend and cried...the part where Annie and Daddy Warbucks are singing "Maybe."

Wall Street

AlphaFrog 03-19-2007 08:38 AM

I'm horrible about this! If there's a movie that someone's cried at, I probably have too. I just get so into the stories.

Some that haven't been listed:

Independence Day (when the trailer park kid's dad dies)
Ever After (when she enters the Masqurade and says the line "Breathe, just breathe")
Narnia (when Aslan dies - even though I read the book and know what happens...)
Maria Full of Grace (the whole dang thing is sad)

And I always cry a bunch at Home Alone 2, because it was my grandpa's favorite movie.

And I literally cried the whole way through Wicked when I saw the musical.

Cardinal026 03-19-2007 11:37 AM

Usually, the first time I see a sad movie I get teary, and then am fine if I see it again, but for some reason "What Dreams May Come" ALWAYS gets me.

Stepmom......make me cry everytime!!!!

The Notebook (When she forgets)
Imitation of Life

...Now don't laugh...
Little Mermaid ;)

tinydancer 03-19-2007 03:03 PM

I agree about Imitation of Life. That whole funeral scene with Mahalia Jackson singing and the carriage just break me up every time.

And also, since I only seem to think of old movies:
Penny Serenade
An Affair to Remember

unspokenone25 03-19-2007 03:14 PM

Steel Magnolias
Bridges of Madison County (when she has to say goodbye to him and when she reads his letter)
The Notebook
Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (when mom and daughter reconcile..."make me better...")
Terms of Endearment
The Color Purpole

Senusret I 03-19-2007 04:09 PM

As a kid I cried at The Muppets Take Manhattan (the wedding scene....she'll make you happy....)

Imitation of Life (sooooooner willlllbe donneeeee)

The Chronicles of Narnia......I literally boo hooed when I saw this on DVD a few weeks ago for the first time.

The Women of Brewster Place, when they are tearing down the wall and Vesta is singing.

The Color Purple.... on a good day, I will cry from "God's Trying to Tell You Something" all the way to the closing credits.

West Side Story

Hair (The Flesh Failures/Let the Sunshine In .... from when Burger marches up into the plane, it flies away, and then everyone's at the cemetery)

Malcolm X

As you can see, I am a weeper.

kdonline 03-19-2007 05:19 PM

Every. Single. Movie.

Okay, except for horror/slasher & those super silly films.

I've cried in every single movie I've ever gone to, my whole entire life. My earliest memory of crying in a movie was when I was like 6-7 & saw "For the Love of Benji" in the theater. And you bet I cried during the last movie I saw (on cable): Syriana.

My husband is reluctant to go to movies with me because I'm a weeper. I even cried during our first date movie together (Independence Day). That's why I watch most movies at home..

:o

It takes a lot to make me cry during a movie. I remember one movie that made me lose it completely. It was a movie was on ABC Family over a year ago. It was called "If Only" with Jennifer Love Hewitt. It could have been because I was really sick that week, but that ending was more than I could handle. It makes me think of the movie "Premonition". The boyfriend in "If Only" kept having visions that Jennifer was going to be killed in a car accident. He knew the exact moment and place it was going to happen, so he tried to spend as much time with her as possible. When the accident is about to happen, he protects her from the oncoming car...scene ends. The next scene is in the hospital and you realize that the boyfriend was killed and Jennifer was safe. When I saw that, I cried so hard and I had the flu, so I looked like a mess!

_Opi_ 03-19-2007 07:11 PM

I don't really cry. More like I get teary-eyed. Usually really good indie flicks get me there. I was also watching Titanic (for the gazillionth time) and I sniffled a little. But only because Leo dies. The last part of Gladiator is also kind of sad (where he is dying and sees the fields from his home).

That reminds me a lot of the movie they have around Christmas called "Three Days." It has Tim Meadows as an angel, and Kristin Davis is the main lead. She is killed on Christmas Eve while rescuing a dog. The husband gets to relive the last three days she's alive. But he cannot rescue her by normal means. He has three days to figure out the gift that will save her life. You can guess how that ends. Yup, cried at that one.

An Affair to Remember didn't do anything for me though. I got the point of the movie, but...
