The scene in The Railway Children where the smoke clears on the platform and she shouts "Daddy! 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?

When Beth dies in 'Little Women'.
'Anne of Green Gables' when Matthew dies.
'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.

I love films/books that make me cry.

I cried buckets in Gone with the Wind when the little girl (Bonnie) breaks her neck falling off her horse when I first saw the movie. 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.

Brooks Hatlen's death in Shawshank Redemption. We watched it in class and every single person was in tears, even the guys. It's soooo sad, I cry buckets when watching it.

The Lion King - when Mufasa dies

Life is Beautiful - several bits

And some other films.

Oh yes...that is a true weepy..

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 ). 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

Ooh dear...must get a tissue..

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.

The whole of 'I am Sam' I cried buckets. If you haven't seen it - SEE IT.

I can remember my youngest crying her eyes out over ET. She was only about 5 at the time.

ET is pretty sad. *sniff*

I cried the first time I saw ET, I thought it was really sad.

The end of Schindlers List when they're laying the stones on his grave
The end of Of Mice and Men

The end of Of Mice and Men is really sad, makes me cry everytime... then again a lot of films do.

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

Titanic, where they're in the water and Jack dies
A Walk to Remember; an amazing film, but soo sad!
Romeo and Juliet

I'm sure there are more, but i can't think of them now ....

especially the scene right at the end when he's reunited with his mama...

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...

I'd forgotten It's A Wonderful Life...here skyers..have a hankey sweet.

sniff, sniff, blub... Thank you luvvy... sniff, sniff...



The picture of Mr Darcy would cheer me up more though

Here you are...almost life size too!




**Sorry again, Robodoc xxx **

sniff, gulp...


I feel a bit better luvvy, but I think I need the picture with the damp shirt to completely get rid of my blubbles...


It's all in a good cause robodoc...

You'll get me in trouble...!

Thank you luvvy, I feel better now



Thank you Robodoc

Oh, good...I'm delighted to be of help!

**If I get told off, skyers..... **

I'm sure if we find him a pic of whoever floats his boat, he'll let us off!

Let's hope so!

**I'm off before he get's on line again! 'Night 'night x**

Nite Nite!

I'd try and think of another film scene that makes me cry just to get back on topic, but I don't want to set off again!

I can't believe nobody has mentioned The Green Mile yet! That just kills me.

The near end of Meet Joe Black, when Anthony Hopkins walks off with Brad Pitt.

Juliette Stephensons grief near the beginning of Truly Madly Deeply, and towards the end when Alan Rickman has to let her go .....

But for both films, i think it was the music that encouraged the tears, i love Thomas Newmans' film scores and of course the Bach pieces they used in Truly Madly Deeply

sniff

Ditto the above... the Bach, the beginning, the end and most of the middle .

Schindler's list, The Pianist when he plays for the German Officer in the deserted house, and yes the Green Mile and what about Black Beauty?

AND last night I was close to tears watching 'Les Patterson Saves the World' because it was easily the most awful film I've every seen - even the camera work was awful, it's not even entertaining as a mickey-take of itself, and I'm now going to stick the DVD on ebay as the worst film ever.... even if you are a Dame Edna fan it's boring, banal, tedious.. I even wish it was funny-bad but it's not, it's just bad-bad...

Hilary and Jacky, the part on the beach where Jacky tells her youger self that thing will work out OK

I agree with all of the afore mentoined films, particularlly ET I have never watched the whole film, I watched it when I was 5/6 and got hysterical when they took him to the lab for testing, i ran and cried under my bed, mum desperatley tried to get me to watch the end, but I was too upset, i have never been able to bring myself to watch it since (even though I know there is a happy ending). I would like to add the following films:


Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle stop Cafe - Beautiful film

Beaches - well I am a woman

Watership Down - My favourite

Jurrasic Park - When Sam Neil and Laura Dern see the Dinos for the first time (John Williams is the master of tugging heartstrings) but always stop crying when Sam Neil says 'their moving in herds, they do move in herds' worlds stupidist line ever

Short Circuit

Turner and Hooch

The Piano - oh wow this film is beautiful, but Sam neil and the axe ohhhhh, Sam Neil is becoming a bit of reoccuring theme actually.

Shawshank Redemption - when Tim Robbins plays "The Marriage of Figaro"

Gladiator

Rain Man

My Girl

Ghost - did I mention I was a big girl

It might have been quicker to post the films that dont make me cry

I adore Fried Green Tomatoes!

When Eva Peron sings her last song, lying on her deathbed in Evita.

That's the worst one.

Bambi
The Bear (at the beginning when the baby bear is orpaned)
The Two Brothers (When the tiger who hasn't been in the circus doesn't understand and thinks for a moment that his brother has deserted him)

....and anything else with animals - I'm a real idiot when it comes to animal saddies.

In The Killing Fields as Dith Pran reaches the final sumit in his escape through the jungle and sees the camp ahead.


This bit is a close sceond - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlMfDnsnDvQ

Oh yeah, I forgot that one

And Titanic....when Jack dies!

Ever since I had kids, anything to do with them makes me blub like crazy!

Most recent ones:

'The Sound of Music' - the scene where the Captain 'rediscovers' music - he's just fired Maria and then hears the kids singing for the first time.....

'Meteor' (I know! ) - the scene where the character played by Annette Bening knowingly faces death (on a beach with her dad), but in the knowledge that she saved a young child and her mother by giving up her seat on a plane that was headed for safety.

I haven't watched 'The Railway Children' for a while, not since having kids anyhow..... *makes point to find copy and buy a large box of tissues*

Gone with the Wind....

I forgot 'Kes'....the part where the lad finds his dead kestrel in the rubbish bin. oh..

And Ring of Bright Water when Midge/Mij (sp?) the otter is killed...

**blub...blub...blub...sniff..**

Oh, LOTR: Return of the King when Gandalf rides off to Minas Tirith with Pippin and Pippin and Merry don't think they'll ever see each other again.

When Bambi's mum died
In Billy Elliot when his teacher is reading out his mum's letter and he starts reciting it because he has read it so much.

*blub*

I've never cried. But then, I'm a boy. Hehe

I bet you have! Everyone has, think of when you were a baby or toddler. Anyway, according to all the psychology/self-help books etc, we're supposed to be "in touch with our emotions..."

My best friend (male) watched Rent! the other day while I was there and had to leave halfway through for a tissue, cause he was crying. Of course afterwards he insisted he had a cold, and wasn't crying... he was just "sad in a really tough way."

Yes, Bambi! And that scene in "The Crying Game" when one of the protagonists reveals their true self.. You know what I mean!!

Plus I remember going to see "Seven" many years ago and, visiting the loo afterwards at the cinema, us gents were gobsmacked into absolute silence....


I agree. The music and lyrics were absolutely crass. Enough to bring anyone to tears!

I absolutely sob my socks off in the film Gladiator, it's when he dies, and you just see his hand brushing the corn in the field as he's reunited with his wife and little boy, absolutely kills me!!! It's the music more than anything, it almost sets me off when they play it on classic fm tv!

And to add... in Harry Potter 4 when Cedric dies and his father comes down and it's just so emotional I sat there in the cinema crying to myself (someone please tell me it's not just me!)

That bit of Titanic actually makes me laugh now... after my friend pointed out how she says she'll never let him go then actually pushes his body away. Yes I know it's all metaphorical and everything, but I still find it funny...

I always laughed at that in Titanic. Yes Harry Potter four was sad... would have been less sad if the actor was a little less good looking.

Oh so many I'm a cryer though, its the best thing about the movies:)
My girl
Titanic when they dance at the end
Romeo and Juliet
Atonement
I am Sam and lots of others that I can't think of

Also been known to cry during the likes of Eastenders, Ex facter and 24

HP4 made me cry too Although, i don't think that the guy that plays Cedric is very good looking ... my friend however is somewhat obsessed with him

HP4 was very sad. The actor was quite good looking but the actor playing his father was just so amazing, he's what made it so emotional

Anything where animals die - wildlife documentaries especially usually mean a trip to the supermarket to get a new box of tissues afterwards..........
