Without reading the thread...


Strange days (the ending sequence)
I Am Legend (the dog scene)
Death Note (Light dieing, I cried so much I was in pain)

The ending of First Blood, when Rambo breaks down about how awful Vietnam was, and how he returned home only to be treated like crap, get's me every time.
Click to expand...

yes! thats is such an amazing scene, and you reminded me just now

The beginning of Rocky 5, last time I watched it I was (Wow the old guy can act after all)
 
ROTJ ending (well I was only a kid!).
Forrest Gump- the scene where Robin Wright dies.
Railway Children (1970)-Jenny Agutter meets dad at the station ( believe me this gets ALOT of folk).
Funny, I never shed a tear at ET!
 
Every movie makes me cry. Just ask my friends, they make fun of me for it, whether it is a happy movie or sad one I will always shed a tear. P.S. I Love You, is the worst for me.
 
Rocky 2, the bit when Adrian has come out the coma and tell Rocky to win, the bells start and into the training montage, which Ive never seen coz I'm weeping like a little b!tch with a skinned knee.

The worst ever has to be Who Will Love My Children starring Ann Margeret. It carries a health warning, you can cry so much you can become dangerously dehydrated.
 
Beaches, with Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey, is one sad flick. I know, I know, it's a "chick flick", :lol, but it's about life and friendships, death/dying, and it's just one of those movies that while clicking through the remote on a Saturday afternoon many years ago, I stopped there for a mo and decided to watch. And it was memorable...
 
Its gotta be the end of AI when David's mum is brought back, it certainly seems that I keep getting "Something in my eye" during that scene. ;-)
 
In the movie ON GOLDEN POND when she hugs her dad near the end and calls him "DAD" i cry,its beautiful seeing them make up after so many years......

Thats one anyway..
 
There are a lot of movies I have choked up over. I rarely ever fully cry though. The only movie I ever bawled to was Big Fish. The ending to Big Fish, a movie I have only seen all the way through once, is absolutely putrid; I couldn't breathe by the end of that montage where they pan over to the river and you see all of the people, and that isn't an exaggeration either. I just pulled it up on YouTube to see if it still had the same effect and started choking up in about five seconds. Being super macho is overrated anyways.
 
To give an old thread new life......
after going through all the posts, I'm surprised that no one mentioned "Where the Red Fern Grows". Even after 40+ years of watching it, it gets me everytime.
and since I just subjected myself to my once every 2 or 3 years viewing of "A.I.", I have to put my mark on that. Wayyyy to many tear jerking parts in that movie...the way the future robots handle the boy, the one's voice and trying to explain things to him, and his single-minded quest, chokes me up everytime.
 
Jurassic Park and the Harry Potter films make me cry with their beauty.
Grave of the Fireflies makes me cry because of how unbearably sad it is.
The Grey made me cry at the end because it is still one of the most powerful scenes I've beheld in any form of media. That scene completely explains Liam's character. It explains his attitude, his behavior, his strength, everything. What makes it even more powerful and emotional is that it reflects Liam Neeson's real life.
Seven Pounds made me bawl my eyes out when I saw it only because I had recently lost a friend in a car crash.
 
It's a Wonderful Life
Million Dollar Baby
City Lights
The Bicycle Thief
Spirited Away
Smoke Signals
Stella Dallas
Come Home, Snoopy
Testament
Kiki's Delivery Service
My Neighbor Totoro
 
Return of the Jedi made me bawl because it was so bad. The mythos of my formative adolescence was vandalized in just about every way imaginable.
Conan the Destroyer was also a lamentable disappointment ... but doesn't come close to the anguish of ROTJ.
 
ET because it was just so amazing when I was a little kid.

Transformers 3 because it was such a letdown and horrible waste of great characters.
 
All Michael Bay movies, Christopher Nolan movies. Movies from directors who were once greats but now seem to have lost it such as Ridley Scott.
 
I'll throw in some TV show moments as well:

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: When Will's real dad bails on him and he asks Uncle Phil why doesn't he want me.
M.A.S.H. - Col. Blake dying
Archie Bunker's Place - Archie finds the slipper in the bedroom after Edith dies and breaks down - gets me every time.
Boy Meets World - Finale final scene with Mr. Feeney. You can feel the genuine love and respect and sadness of parting ways
Wonder Years - The last few minutes of "The Accident"
24 - When Jack has to shoot Chapelle.

Does it bother you when they remake one of your favorite movies? Why?
