By the way, I cried when I watched Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, when Bilbo moves away with the Elves at the end.

Also at the end of Toy Story 3, but who didn't? Those films made up a large part of my childhood. I grew up with those toys....

I nearly cried after the first time I watched Avatar too, but not quite. I just about managed to restrain myself as I was in public. But I just didn't want the movie to end and leave Pandora.

I think "Old Yeller" was the very first thing I saw at the cinema. I would have been 5 or 6 at the time and it was supporting one of the animated Disney films. I was inconsolable!

These movies also made me cry:

Grave of the Fireflies (so sad I don't know if I could watch it again
The Elephant Man
Mary and Max - I knew what was coming and it still hit me like a freight train
Dumbo - gets me every time when Dumbo goes to visit him mum in "prison" and the song "Baby Mine" comes on.

MONKEY's mum cried at that too. I think MONKEY did as well the first time she watched it, not sure though. I thought it was balanced out nicely with the humour though, but the ending was a little bit 'chokey'. Great film.

Joker, I am glad you mentioned Boyz N Da Hood. That always makes me cry. Another one that does the trick is the Land Before Time.

Grave of the fireflies is probably the most depressing movie ever made. I love studio Ghibli, but this one I simply can't watch anymore. I started having nightmares about little Setsuko coming to ask me for food and I couldn't give her anything. :cry:

OK. I don't care what you say: Terms of endearment never fails to make me bawl. There. I said it. :)

Hachi: A Dog's Tale

I honestly defy anyone to watch it and not cry their eyes out. I knew the story, was fully prepared and still spent a good half hour wiping away all the tears.
Incredible movie though.

My grandad always cries at that film.

I'm not a man but I cried during the destruction of home tree the first time I watched Avatar, it was the music that really got me though. And I burst into tears watching the old couple spoon and the mum talk soothingly to her children during Titanic when the ship had almost disappeared. I imagined the old couple being me and rabbit.


When did we watch that together? Or was I not there?

........Maybe it was back when the film first came out, and you had a premonition.... Image


Nah you weren't there but your existence was already an influential one (it was weeks ago, so no spooky premonitions.)

The movie Dear John made me cry when I first watched it.

The bit in "The Whole Wide World" where Novalyne Price (Renee Zellwegger) starts to write a letter to Robert E. Howard after getting the telegraph about him having committed suicide gets me, without fail, every time. Dead Poet's Society has a similar effect. Both movies have the ability to reduce me to an inconsolable wreck for hours.

Where's Turner & Hooch? The scene where you desperately want the dog to survive his gunshoot wounds and then he dies on the operation table could make any man cry. What makes it even worse, is that the dog sacrifised himself to save Turner.

Has anyone mention Bent, yet? The movie deals with two gay men, sent to a Nazi concentration camp, who fall in love, even though they know the results can only be disastrous. The ending scene, where Clive Owen holds his dead lover, telling him everything would be all right, left me teary eyed.
