Movies That Made You Cry

[nodepositneeded]

If you have seen a movie that actually made you cry, please post it here.

I'm a big fan of movies that can play on your emotions so much to actually bring you to tears.

Please only respond if you actually had tears in your eyes! No one will think less of you for admitting it (well they will, but who cares).

If you are physically incapable of crying, do not post because you would be lying (and go to the doctor why don't ya)!

I have many (but they are not always easy to remember), but here are a few to start it off:

Green Mile
A Walk To Remember
The Notebook

[GloBug]

pursuit of happiness was one of them.

[taylovesthebeatles]

I was going to say A Walk To Remember and The Notebook, so I'll add Mr. Holland's Opus and The Hours.

Click. Schindlers List.

[freeringo]

I cry at almost every movie I see.
However the movie that
I saw in a theatre that left everyone crying
walking out to their cars was:

The Color Purple

If you are younger and have never seen this movie,
rent it tonight. Whoopi Goldberg in it.

[eejit101]

I cried at Dead poets society.

[freeringo]

Sorry my last post was like 25 years old.

The last time I cried at a movie is when my wife
wouldn't let me leave to watch another movie
when we took our daughter to see "Sponge Bob
Square Pants Movie".

[eejit101]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

thats so funny i laughed out loud!

[freeringo]

I could hear you laughing all the way up on the mountain.
I wish I could laugh about it too.
Maybe in a few more years.

[woohoosue]

oh and Ghost ...the big chill

Why do we cry at movies? Washington Post film critic Desson Thomson, recalling his own waterworks watching emotional films, checked out some research to find out. Audiences weep out of empathy, according to one expert. Women definitely cry more than men (four times as much) and weeping releases internal toxins. People "literally cry it out," he said.
But another expert disagrees. If crying served as "therapy" then actors who cry on stage "would be the most psychologically healthy people in our culture, and we know that's not true," he remarked. Finally, a communications professor placed it all on a higher plane. "Tears aren't just tears of sadness, they're tears of searching for the meaning of our fleeting existence," she said. Now that's entertainment.

hey why so many movies with "the" in the beginning? becuz saying "the" at the end would be just wrong...lol....i crack me up

[Pokerkitty6]

My favorite movie of all time is Shawshank Redemption. Yes, it made me cry and it made me appreciate my feedom. It made me appreciate friends that last a lifetime...far and few..appreciate them. My Dad always said, if you have five true friends when you die you are ahead of most. Cherish your friends and what offer to your life!!!

[Pokerkitty6]

Ej....never, ever wish death upon anybody, because we are all *****es in our own little way!!!! Really, when you wish death upon someone it usually happens to someone you care about....be careful what you wish for. One woman's opinion with experience wishing death upon someone.......

[Pokerkitty6]

ringo....I laughed out loud tooo!!!!!!! I feel for you!!!!!!
sneak out next time...get a call to work...anything!!!!

[Pokerkitty6]

Oh yeahhhhh...NDN..I never knew you were such the romantic....The Notebook...did you also see Bridges of Madison County???? Wow...NDN, a romantic, never saw you in that light until tonight....More to come, I'm sure!!!!!

[67christine]

for me it was the notebook, titanic, ghost and old yeller. When the kid had to shot his own dog at the end it was just so sad.

[BnLM5]

Johnny Q, Bambi, American History X, The Other Sister, and there are many many more!

[Pokerkitty6]

I can't believe I forgot about Old Yeller!!!! Made me cry for a long time. In earlier post, I got my movie title backwards, it's Shawshank Redemption.

[KaciBlakely]

TITANIC! I cry every time I watch this movie.

Can't help it.

Anytime I need a good cry I put it in actually.

Works like a charm.

[KaciBlakely]

I cried at Dead poets society.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. And yes I cried in it as well. Thanks for mentioning it. Think I'm gonna pop it in tonight or something.

[KaciBlakely]

oh man Armegedon....when bruce willis puts him in the lift and presses button and say take care of my daughter and then all the family memebers came in and said good bye cuz they wernt sure they would make it home.....and then the wedding with his pic there and all the guys giving her away ....awww man i cried

Armegedon was such a powerful movie. I saw it when I was 14 or 15 I think. And it made me cry like no other. I love my Dad so much and even after it was over I couldn't stop balling.

[KaciBlakely]

ok am i the only person that crys...i am a cry baby ...ok who came up with this ......ok found 2 more ...the butterfly effect...........city of angels.......Somewhere in time........Meet Joe Black......the crow....


hey why so many movies with "the" in the beginning? becuz saying "the" at the end would be just wrong...lol....i crack me up

I cried in the Butterfly Effect. Especially the part where He leaves the note that says "I'll come back for you."

Oh man it makes me cry so much for some reason.

[eejit101]

ah yeah armageddon.

When she says "thats your daddy". So sweet.

Think i cried at star wars, but i was like 5 and it scared me

[woohoosue]

I remeber going to theater to watch the other sister....it was a comedy.....Ive worked with kids with disabilities/autism ....all they want is a fair shake ..... most people feel the need to categorize them and coddle them .... the people in the theatre i would say 80% couldn't laugh when the other sister made a joke..... I guess fearing that that would be considered rude .... the two actors in this movie were so funny the writing was right on....... there were some sad parts too ...so i cried too...but i hope that as the years have gone by that we are all growing towards a more excepting world ......different isn't bad.... just becuz a person cant communicate with you the way you want them to doesn't make them any less than you.... Good movie!

[KaciBlakely]

I've never seen Star Wars to cry at it.

[thenutzaa1]

[eejit101]

Click made me weep like a baby!

[KaciBlakely]

I've seen click once.

Didn't cry but I came close.

Loved the dragon tales line, lol.

[KaciBlakely]

I know we have a mix of girls and guys on here so I was just wondering what were some of the movies that make you cry?

I'll answer first. The first movie to make me cry was The Lion King. I was so sad when Simba's dad Mufasa got killed.

Damn you, Scarr.

Now who's next?

[eejit101]

Philadelphia

[KaciBlakely]

NDN made a post about this topic a while back, fyi.

I thought I remembered talking about this, but I wasn't for sure. Didn't mean to start a repeat topic, I was just crying at a home and remembered wanting to know.

Totally forgot for real. Thanks for moving this to the right thread NDN.

I just read a book and cried like a big baby.

[KaciBlakely]

I cried in Hannah Montanna: The Movie last night.

Is that pathetic?

I hope not at least.

Please do not make fun of me, kthanks.

[ShiceT]

I am not a big crier, but I will admit I almost always get tears in my eyes in any movie that I see a dog get killed. LOL. Is that weird I am a huge dog lover and I cant stand to see dogs get hurt even on the silver screen. The Green Mile was an excellent book and just as good in movie format. I dont think I teared up but you would almost have to not be human to not get some type of emotional stirring from it another great piece of work Stephen King.

Sleepers

This was on last night and I always forget about how great this movie really is.

While this movie didn't make me cry, it's an extremely powerful movie. If you haven't seen it - I highly suggest you rent/buy/netflix/download/Ondemand it today.

[eejit101]

ooh, Sleepers is a great film.

[nodepositneeded]

I believe Bicentennial Man also brought a tear to my eye.

[BnLM5]

The Parable made me cry. Gosh that movie was sad and very different.

[twenty47]

Everybody I've watched Armegeddon with cried and cried at the end, me i honestly don't think bruce willis brought tears to my eyes. I did however bawl like a baby everytime I've watched the movie "Project X" with Matthew Brodrick and the monkeys. Especially when the poor addicted monkey was locked in the room and getting radiated. He just wanted a smoke and they couldn't give him one... for real that was a very sad movie and at the end when the monkey got his freedom and left his friends......

My lil' guy cried everytime he watched ET... the very first time he watched it he wouldn't stop crying. His dad had to go and hug him and he kept saying "is ET going to be alright dad" that almost brought tears to my eyes watching my son being so sad that ET was leaving Elliot and going home.

[KaciBlakely]

A great movie I cried at is Radio. If you haven't seen it, it's about a mentally challenged guy that ends up helping a football team and everything.

Here's the description if that helps anyone.

Radio is a good human-interest story that was inspired by events in 1976 in Anderson, South Carolina. Cuba Gooding, Jr., who plays the mentally challenged Radio, does such a good acting job, you will believe he is the real Radio. His real name is James Robert Kennedy, and he was nicknamed Radio, because of his radio collection and listening to the radio all the time. Radio spends his days in this small town pushing or riding a grocery cart down the street, talking to no one. After some football players harass Radio, the football coach Harold Jones played by Ed Harris takes Radio under his wing. Radio begins to help out at football practice and sits on the bench at games. In time, Radio begins to trust the coach. However, some people in town think Radio is a distraction to the team, and they want Radio to go. By this time the coach and the team are all friends to Radio and they want him to stay.

I also cried this weekend at My Sister's Keeper but I think you guys know what that is about so I won't explain.

Good movie!

I absolutely loved this movie and so did both my girls. We watched it over and over. I couldn't agree with you more on the acceptance of people that are not as mentally capable as most in society. The acceptance in itself does a world of wonder for the one being accepted. This could truly make difference in their life. People just don't stop and realize that they are people too just like us. To be a part of something could be their reason today. To feel important and needed is sought out by every one not just the "normal." Good movie!

[BnLM5]

OMG I watched "The Bucket List" last night, I literally sobbed! Good Movie, IMO.

[eejit101]

Anyone mentioned Dead Poets Society?

[nodepositneeded]

Anyone have any new additions? I'm looking for a new movie that will make me cry (doesn't have to be a new movie - Just new to me).

[targetguy1]

The Notebook

Already listed in this thread (by me I think sadly).

[BnLM5]

Anyone have any new additions? I'm looking for a new movie that will make me cry (doesn't have to be a new movie - Just new to me).

You wanna cry come on over here I will make you cry. I can do what ever it takes to make you cry. How about a sad story. I don't like to hit anyone unless I have to. So if we can avoid violence that would be good. In the mean time I'll think of a good movie. But you have to understand I cried when I watched ET.

[BnLM5]

Ok have you seen The Note Book, with James Gardner?

[targetguy1]

Bingo that movie made me cry as a little boy when i watched it

[woohoosue]

i just watched one "Love you till the end" oh man.... im such a girl

[taylovesthebeatles]

I made the mistake of seeing P.S. I Love You while Klinkman was out of town for a month during Christmas break. I cried like a baby, lol. To be fair, my parents dragged me along so I didn't really have a choice.

[BnLM5]

Ok have you seen The Note Book, with James Gardner?

Opps scratch this one. I don't know how I missed it posted two post up from mine. What a ding dong I am. But only sometimes. lol

[woohoosue]

[heelside720]

[BnLM5]

NDN have you seen Alpha Dog? If not IMO it is a good movie based on a true story. If you have seen it, what did you think of it?

[lilmissthing69]

ghost, johnny q

[BnLM5]

I have you agree with you on Johnny Q that was one He!! of a movie. I cried my heart out on that movie. One of the best I have ever seen. I loved it.

[nodepositneeded]

NDN have you seen Alpha Dog? If not IMO it is a good movie based on a true story. If you have seen it, what did you think of it?

Rings a bell - But I can't say for certain whether or not I've seen it. I will have to check it out!

[nodepositneeded]

During a restless night of sleep, I flipped on the TV and got caught watching back to back movies (both of which I'd seen before) but they both still brought some tears to my eyes.

So without further ado, I hereby recommend these movies to my fellow NDN'ers:

With Honors
