It's my Daddy!" brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it (including whilst driving to work this morning!) What's yours?

'Goodnight, Mr Tom' when Zach dies (and the book's even worse!) 'Braveheart' (lol) when anyone dies 'Bambi' when his mother dies 'Sophie's Choice' at lots of bits. 'Terms of Endearment' when she says goodbye to her children before dying. 'The Lion King' when Simba's dad dies. Yeah, I get upset when characters die... Other films that make me cry: Schindler's List, Dead Poets' Society, Titanic, Shadowlands, The Joy Luck Club...oh, and the end of Remains of the Day (why doesn't the butler just tell her he loves her?!) Ooh, and not a film, but the episode of ER where Dr Greene dies is awful. I got through sooo many tissues both times I watched that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I love films/books that make me cry.

I don't cry at it now. Two that always make me cry however many times I watch are the end of When Harry met Sally when they finally get together on New Tear's Eve and the end of Four Weddings and a Funeral when they are standing in the rain and he asks her to agree NOT to marry him for the rest of her life.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The final scenes of "Whistle Down the Wind" when "Jesus" is lead away. The Elephant Man...where he lays down, and the Barber Adagio starts playing.. Of Mice and Men when George shoots Lenny One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest when McMurphy has had his labotomy and the big Indian guy breaks out... The Road to Perdition when Tom Hanks is shot... The scene in Philadelphia when Tom Hanks comes out of the solicitors office after he refuses to help him... The end of The Immortal Beloved when she is reading the letter and they play the second movement of the Emperor...gets me every time. (I know it's not fact..but what a great use of the music. And Gary Oldman makes a great Beethoven (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). Oh yes...in the same film, Karl goes off to attempt suicide and they play the 7th Symphony (second movement). In Disneys Fantasia..the Greek mythology figures for the Pastoral Symphony and the cloaked figures going off to pray in the Ave Maria...very clever, moving stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Ooh dear...must get a tissue..

Unregistered	Rent, when Angel died, and at the funeral. Also when they're all singing "Will I?" Umm Moulin Rouge at the end. Of Mice and Men, when Lennie dies. Romeo + Juliet, for obvious reasons. Little Women when Beth died. The Fox and the Hound - can't remember which bit but it was sad. Edward Scissorhands when everyone hates him.

We watched it in English and half the class were in tears, it was terrible!! But it's a really good film.

Unregistered	QUOTE(melody_maker @ Sep 7 2007, 08:38 PM) Life is Beautiful - several bits (IMG:http://geeks-have-feelings-too.net/images/smileys/crying.gif) especially the scene right at the end when he's reunited with his mama... (IMG:http://geeks-have-feelings-too.net/images/smileys/crying.gif) The original black and white film about the Titanic - A Night to Remember - particularly the scene with the band playing and also the one when the man puts his wife and children into the boat and I think they say they'll see each other in New York but they both know he's going to go down with the ship. I can't bear to write this, I'm in tears thinking about it! Another black-and-white film - It's A Wonderful Life - with James Stewart. The scene when he wishes he'd never been born, the scene when he clutches his little girl's flower petals, the scene when he comes home and all the town has rallied round, and then when the bell rings and the angel's got his wings... I'm going to have to get out of this thread, I can't bear it...
