Which film/s never fail to make you cry?

Question

And why?

Answer 1

The Passion of the Christ...

Also, Titanic, just the scene where Jack slips away into the icy water.

Answer 2

Awakenings
After watching patients in a psychiatric hospital linger in a semi comatose state and then be brought out of it after 30, 40 even 50 years and start living again .. only to slide back into their previous condition.. that was too much for me.

Once Upon a Time in America
overwhelming sense of loss, betrayal, wasted lives, wasted time and irreversible errors

The Girl in the Swing
a favorite book, the movie was better than I expected.
But it is a love story that was doomed from the start.
They try anyway.

Anything with Patrick Swayze in it
because I realize that's another two hours of my life I'll never get back. ok, just kidding. I really turned it off.

seldom does a film make me cry. I tend to resent the over-the-top efforts to tug at my heart strings. But once in a while, something gets to me.

Answer 3

I cry because I'm happy or I cry because I'm sad. Pretty much I cry in all of them. I really like getting into the story. I think I cried the hardest in Love Story-an old Ali McGraw/Ryan O'Neal movie where she dies. My mother had passed a bit before the movie aired and spent a some awful time in the hospital. So I started crying much before everyone else and when it got to the hospital scene, I was a basket case. I wasn't the only one. When we all left the theater and passed in front of the line of people waiting to get in the next show one guy said we all looked pretty bad and he wasn't sure if he wanted to go in. More fun was the spooky horror movies. In one of them I grabbed my bfs hand and whoever the guy next to me was, yelling, I jumped up which made them yell and jump up. Before it was all over my entire row was standing, looking stupid. It was so funny.

Answer 4

Titanic

Answer 5

Armageddon - when Bruce Willis' character sacrifices himself, and his daughter is watching from mission control.

The Devil's Backbone - when the headmistress dies as the professor is reciting a sorrowful poem and holding her, and at the end when the professor is speaking as a ghost.

Philadelphia for sure! The death scene will make you cry, defnintely.

Answer 6

Star Wars Ep III and Ep VI:

Mostly Episode VI, because Luke is willing to give his own life in an attempt to redeem his own father, who is viewed as the most evil person in the universe. Beautiful story.

Answer 7

Well, I must admit....... Titanic (not because of poor Leo dieing, but just the fact that it acutally happened) Black Beauty (it's just sad to me anyways, from start to end, happy tears, sad tears) , The Horse Whisperer (just the story itself) and of course, Seabiscuit (again, one of the those happy and sad tears movies) . Although, Steel Magnolias, as mentioned earlier, is a real tear jerker for me as well.

Answer 8

I have a few, but I must say that The Notebook always gets to me at the one scene where Gena Rowlands regains her memory for one brief moment, and then loses it again...... It's so poingnant...

My Life: with Nicole Kidman and Michael Keaton ....it's so real..... bittersweet....

there are many many more..... but my mind is blanking out on me...

Answer 9

Steel Magnolias - every time even if I just watch for 5 minutes!
I don't know why; I guess the story is just so sad. Plus, if Sally Field is crying - so'm I!

Answer 10

dead man walking- it just makes me so emotional. The Life of David Gale- if you haven't seen it I don't want to say to much but it's amazing what he does. Brokedown Palace - again...don't want to say too much if you haven't seen it...but it makes you question what you would do in the same situation.
