Name a film that has made you cry and why.?

Question

Thanks all for your answes please keep them coming as they are very interesting.

Answer 1

If Only... starring Jennifer Love Hewitt ... the scene where the guy tells her why and how much he loves her minutes before he knew she was gonna die... oh my gosh.. overwhelming.. and then he decides to sacrifice himself, knowing that he already done all he could, and showed her how much he loved her... huhuhu... sh*t,...... I need a tissue...

Answer 2

101 Dalmations - the bit where they are all trekking through the snow and there's one little one who doesn't want to go on because "his nose is froze and his toes is froze". I must have seen this film five times at least when I was a child (53 now, so it was a very long time ago!) I just felt so sorry for him and wanted to help him.

Schindler's List also made me cry (anything to do with the Holocaust does).

Henry the Fifth - the Laurence Olivier version of the Shakespeare play - the part during the charge where the soundtrack is the Agincourt Carol and the get to the "Deo gratias Anglia" bit. Very odd, this, as my leanings are towards pacifism if anything and I'm not particularly patriotic, either. I think it may partly be something to do with the mysterious ability of music to inspire emotions. (Someone once told me that the "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs" is a good example of clever use of musical theory to manipulate emotions.) But there may well be many other subconscious reasons for my reaction to this film that I just cannot fathom - all I know is that this part of this film does it for me every time!

Answer 3

I've just finished watching "Cinema Paradiso" by Giuseppe Tornatore. The ending is so amazing that it makes me cry everytime I watch it.
It's about a boy in Sicily, in the forties or fifties, who falls in love with cinema and makes a bond with the town's screener. He later leaves this god forgotten town to pursue a career as a director in Rome. He becomes famous and comes back 30 years later for the screener's funeral. Before dying, he left an old film roll for the boy (now a middle aged man). When he comes back to Rome and puts on the roll, he notices that the old man had put together all the kissing scenes from the old movies that the town's priest had ordered to be cut for censorship reasons back then.
That's the best movie ending ever!

Answer 4

for a strange reason Raise your voice made me sort of cry when Hilary Duff cried its quiet a sad film for the age rating of a pg

Also have u ever seen Schindlers list or the Pianoist about Jews. It didnt make me cry but everyone else gets upset over it and I can understand why I suppose but evem though people die in both films it doesnt seem to do anything to me except think about it it still doesnt seem real and I have seen three films now about Jews and what happened to them 1918-1945. These two and Sobibor does it make you cry if youve seen it.

Answer 5

Just finished watching the new film, World Trade Centre a true story about 2 survivors, it was incrediably intense and very sad, even though the 2 survived, its the thought that so many others didn't. A very moving film.

Answer 6

Three films:

1. Men of Honour. When poor Cuba had to make the walk of his life in the courtroom to prove he could operate in that ridiculously heavy diver’s suit. Didn’t watch the whole movie, they showed the climax at a camp I attended. Made me a bawling mess at the end.

2. Lilo & Stitch. When Stitch ran away from home with the Ugly Duckling picture book and he gazes longingly at the pages as real ducklings surrounded him. It made my heart ache when he whispers “Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind.” You just want to give the poor guy a big hug.

3. SPOILER ALERT. This year’s Cars. When Lightning stopped just a few inches away from the finish line and turns around to help the King complete the last race of his career with dignity. To have given up his entire dream of becoming the first Piston Cup rookie champion to help another in need reminded me of that old sporting tale where these runners all turned around to help a fallen competitor cross the finish line together.
It was the first Pixar movie to bring a tear to my eye.

Answer 7

I found the room getting particularly smoky during the following films:
The Green Mile - even though I'd read the book I was still hoping that they would change the end of the film, stupid really.
Forrest Gump - It's just a great movie.
Gallipoli - The end caught me a little by surprise.
Casualties of War - I felt like killing myself afterwards.
Of course being a 'bloke' I didn't blub, but was pretty frickin' close.

Answer 8

Hotel Rwanda - I cried tears of shame as all the white people were rescued whilst the Rwandans were forced to stay there. It affected me so much I went into work the following Monday and set up a charitable donation to Oxfam that comes out of my salary monthly. It also affected me deeply to think how little attention the news and the media in general give to stories of genocide in Africa. This was one of the first high profile (well relatively anyway) films depicting what happened. 1 million dead! That makes you stop and think.

Answer 9

Click- it was so sad how his life just got away from him.
All Dogs Go To Heaven- when the dog is dying and he tries to wake up the little girl to say bye, but then he sees how tired she is and he is like no no dont wake up, omg i am almost crying now...jeez..."But Charlie, you can never go back..."

Answer 10

The lover, palyed by jane march, and tony yeung, its about a 15 year old school girl (who pretend she's 17 and becomes romantivally involved with this chinese guy before the war breaks out,and how at the end once theyve parted the - she realises that she actually DID love him, it remind me of when I was 15 and my heart was broken, a cult classic,it aslo a culteral delight - east meets west, crossingf the gap to institutionalised racism - not much though

Answer 11

Million Dollar Baby
The Green Mile
The Notebook
City Of Angels
Braveheart
Gladiator
I'm a big softy and I cry at little things but these movies were extremely sad!! They all involve death of some kind and they take you on an emotional rollercoaster! You really get in touch with the characters and then it all turns out bad!!:(
