Has a movie ever made you cry cause it was happy or sad?

I once cried watching an action movie.  At the end of Con-Air, when all Nicolas Cage has for his daughter is a ratty old stuffed bunny rabbit, it brought a tear to my eye.  I was the only one in the theatre crying.  I felt so embarrased  :-Frequency *spoiler warning* when Caviezel finds out his dad is alive, you can't help but cry

I freaking love that movie (Frequency).


Let' see:

My top three:

Titanic
Beaches
A Walk To Remember

run cougar run  :\'(
forrest gump :\'(
and (don't laugh) muppets christmas carol  :\'(

I cry all the time...

Many Disney movies make me cry especially Dumbo.

Schindler's List
Charlotte' s Web
It's a Wonderful Life
Steel Magnolias
The Green Mile

^^ Tomario's sig picture is awesome.

Let's see...

I almost cried at the end of:

The Shawshank Redemption
Dirty Dancing
The Rookie
Miracle
Field of Dreams

That's about it I think...

Beaches
A League of Their Own
Les Mis in Concert
Cats
Creator
ET
Hair


I'm sure there are more.


The first time I watched Creator with Carlos, I knew I was going cry (I always do) but I didn't want him to think I was foolish for crying during a movie. I was fighting back the tears when I looked over at him and the tears were streaming down his face. Since that time, I knew it was ok to cry during movies because I can bet that Carlos will be crying with me.



Cat

The Days of Wine and Roses.

The Cider House Rules

Powder

Steele Magnolias

The Joy Luck Club

E.T.
The Green Mile
Dumbo
Bambi
King Kong (2005 version)
The Bear
The Shawshank Redemption
The Lion King
Field of Dreams

It would probably be easier to list movies that don't make me cry.  There are certain movies that make me cry every single time I watch them, but I love them so I watch and cry anyway.  These would include...

Empire of the Sun
The Shawshank Redemption
Glory
Undertaking Betty
Field of Dreams

Then there are movies that I can't watch because I become hysterical.  Such as...

Dumbo
Bambi
An American Tale (yes, I sobbed)
E.T.

I can't watch anything with animals in it, you know, if animals get hurt or lost or something.  I'm just wrecked afterward.  I couldn't watch Old Yeller if my very life depended on it.

^ It was a great movie and it made me happy that Baby wasn't sitting in the corner anymore :)

i cried during the Fox and the Hound...just couldn't help myself...love that movie..

The Blair Witch Project....It brings a tear to my eye when I think of how I listened to the hype and shelled
out the money to watch that waste of film.. :P

;D

I guess you didn't pay big bucks to see the sequel? lol

black snake moan has now choked me up at least a dozen times. and i've only seen it twice.

it's so sweet and awful and tragic.

Off the top of my head

E.T.
Flight 91 (is that the one about 9/11?)
Life is beautiful
Two if by sea (only because the bickering couple in it reminded me of my first husband and I bickering - apparently I was emotional that day) lol


There are others, but they have escaped my memory thus far.

There are tons of films that have made me cry.  Too many to list.  TV programmes make me cry sometimes as well

An American Tale
Fox and The Hound
United 91
The Land Before Time

Are also up there as well.

Savannah Smiles
The Road Home
Kama Sutra
Monsoon Wedding
Kill Bill
All Dogs Go To Heaven


There are more, but I can't think of them right now.

my friend amber made fun of me for getting choked up at black snake moan again.

oh, man, when rae says, "i reckon if you wanna quit me, i understand. but... please don't." you'd have to have a heart of stone!

Evelyn
The Notebook
I am Sam
Ladder 49
Starman
Big Fish

Steel Magnolias
Terms Of Endearment
Stepmom
The Notebook
A Walk To Remember

Lots more I'm sure. Oh, and cheesy Lifetime Movies  :D

Might I suggest the Hallmark Channel and a box of tissues. :)

Haha!  ;D  I'll have to check that out! 

Jerry Maguire.. every time.

The Deer Hunter dosen't so much make me cry.. just leaves me very very cold inside. Same effect.

Saving Private Ryan.
All the Rocky movies.. but that's tears of joy.
Forrest Gump.

The Great Escape... this one is a strange one. Again, in the way Deer Hunter does.. it dosen't so much make me cry, but again, leaves me feeling very cold. For those that have never seen this (and if you haven't.. what's wrong with you?) it's Steve McQueen being Steve McQueen.. breaking out of a POW camp as only he could do. However.. there are some serious moment of darkness which culminate at the end with a large number of prisoners being recaptured and executed. Shows the futility of it all.

The worst for me is Johnny Got His Gun. I can't even watch this again.

I don't think I've every really shed a tear over a movie but I was watching a tearjerker last night.  :\'(

One of the HBO channels was airing "Brian's Song." I haven't seen that movie since
the early 70's.

The worst for me is Johnny Got His Gun. I can't even watch this again.


Isn't that the movie that was used as part of the Metallica video "One"?

I couldn't bare to watch it (the whole movie), the music video was surely enough.

Deer Hunter was another movie that made me cry, it was filmed in Pittsburgh (which is about a hour from where I grew up) so I could relate to alot of the first part of the movie (family wise) and to have the rest of the movie was just ... wow (is all I can say about that.)

Yeah, that's why I watched it.

It was totally f**ked up.

The Champ... Little Ricky Schroeder breaks my heart
Misunderstood...Litte Henry Thomas breaks my heart
Imitation of Life (1959 version)
Stella

Most recently Bridge to Terabithia little whats-his-face from Little Manhattan breaks my heart    (noticing a theme here)

Those friggin Hallmark commercials during the hallmark movies OMG like everytime!!!

Oh and this one Benji movie when they the bad guy threw Benji against a wall...  :\'(

nobody laugh, but ...

that scene in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" when Christopher Lloyd drops that scared looking animated shoe into the bucket of acid :\'(

How could I forget The Champ.  I saw it in the theater and I remember being very upset.

I cried during Terabithia...and so was the older gentleman sitting in front of me.  :)

I haven't seen the Bridge to Terabithia yet but I bawled my eyes out when I read the book.



To add to my list


All Dogs Go to Heaven
Land Before Time
The Secret of NIHM
American Tail ("Somewhere Out There" always gets to me)

(All those damn children's animated moves-they really love to pull at my heart strings.)



Cat

The Fox and the Hound
Babe 2 - when the dog with the wheels gets thrown from the truck scene, they show him lying there with a vision of him in a field chasing butterflies without his wheels.
You've got Mail -  At the end when Meg's character sees that her email friend is Tom Hanks and she says  " I wanted it to be you "

13 Going On 30...because it reminds me so much of my childhood....and I always cry at the part where she is just so overwhelmed as an adult...and she runs home to her parent's house for them to comfort her....I can so relate to that.

  Some movies that make me misty...

  Mask - When mom discovers that Rocky has died during the night...
  Of Mice and Men - When George kills Lenny at the end...
  Dead Man Walking - The condemned Matthew's moment of catharsis just before his execution...
  The Fly - When Veronica kills the creature at the end...

"Philadelphia" gets me EVERYtime

..just about any movie that has a rape scene :(. I'm real sensitive about that.

;D
(I'm sorry. I had to)

OMG in Eye for an Eye! When Keifer Sutherland attacks Sally Fields daughter!  That was horrible... oh yeah and in the Hills Have Eyes cuz after that rape scene a bullet to the head would have been welcome relief! 

Shadowlands (Anthony Hopkins, Debra Winger about C.S. Lewis and Joan Gresham)
Of Mice and Men (Gary Sinise, John Malkovich)
The Wall
1984
The Killing Fields
The Elephant Man
Silkwood
Ordinary People (cheesy though it was!)
Midnight Cowboy (just at the end when Ratzo dies, it's kinda perverse I guess.)
The Best Years of Our Lives (Ayn Rand thought this was a commie flick!)


No, E.T. did not.

Brian's Song
E.T.: The Extraterrestrial
Philadelphia
Ordinary People
A Walk to Remember
My Girl
Forrest Gump
Ghost
The Green Mile
Schindler's List
A Beautiful Mind
Old Yeller
Saving Private Ryan
The Sixth Sense

Looking at this list, I just realized that are four Tom Hanks movies.  Based on his work in Bosom Buddies, I don't think many people would have predicted where Tom's career has taken him.  :)

I think I forgot to mention Misunderstood...too lazy to check... even if I did mention it its worth mentioning twice.  Am I the only one who saw it? My coworker stole my VHS copy damn her!  I love this movie Gene Hackman, Henry Thomas and Huckleberry Fox.
