I know this probably sounds like such a cheesy topic, but I've been in a really sappy-ass mood lately and been watching movies off and on that make me weepy. So, I ask you all, what movies move you to tears? What are those movies and who are the actors/actresses in them that get to you in those particular scenes? For me, let's see it would be

1. Finding Neverland-
At the end of the movie, the part where he takes Sylvia to see Neverland...oh my goodness, that choked me up so much. She was able to see Neverland before she died. Also the ending when James is holding Peter, got me choked up.

2. Armageddon- I shouldn't even have to say what scene gets me, but this movie does make me cry.

3. Titanic- Don't laugh at me for this please. I'm a sucker for sappy romances and this one gets me.

4. The Green Mile-
When that bastard of a man doesn't wet the sponge on one inmate and poor John Coffey...what he suffers through and the ending...That whole movie is actually very very heart-wrenching, but when he's killed I just tear up so badly.

5. The Notebook- The very ending and how sweet and sentimental it was. It definitely tugged at my heartstrings.

6. Edward Scissorhands-
The goodbye between him and Kim gets me every single time and how she explains the snow as well. It's just observing him throughout the whole movie how he's just used, ridiculed and everything and down to what happens at the very end, yeah...

Those are my main ones that I think of at the moment that get me, so what gets you? Please don't spam. Be detailed with your posts!
 
Bambi - When I was a kid I hated this movie because it always made me cry! Apparently psychologists have studied that scene, and everything about it is designed to make you cry. Poor Bambi! When your a kid, this movie is so depressing.

I can't think of anymore at the moment...I'm not really a weepy person when it comes to films :|
 
Just to say in response to Lady Aerith' comment about The Green Mile (and I may be wrong):

I thought the bit where the mean prison guard doesn't wet the sponge and the execution goes horribly wrong was halfway through the film, and was done on another inmate, not Coffey. I agree the ending where Coffey is executed is sad though

My choices:

1. ET
When he leaves at the end and says 'Come', and Elliot replies 'Stay'

2. The Truman Show
Again the ending when Ed Harris speaks to Truman (from the sky, in an obvious God allegory) and asks him not to leave. And Truman decides to choose the real world over the fake one he is in

3. After Life
A Japanese film about people who have recently died choosing a memory from their lives to take with them. In one bit one old lady talks about her childhood with her brother and how he passed away a few years ago - it's hugely moving as it almost sounds real.
 
Naruto the movie(it's not the real name but I can't remember it)-This move is one of the best cool action movies!
 
Sephirothalpha and DarkSquall, please put more effort into your posts. I asked for specifics, not one-liners. Next time, they'll be deleted.

Yes, I know charliepanayi, I worded my post wrong :P :blush:

I also watched another one that kinda choked me up a bit. What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Leo Dicaprio's performance in this movie was just absolutely astounding. The whole story is very emotional and strong.
 
Hmm, I'm not one to get moved by most films but I am moved when films are based on real life like Hotel Rwanda which really got to me because you are sat there and are like "Wow, I can't actually believe that happened and that no one cared."... even the trailer gets to me.

Trailer

Apart from that I can't think of any other film straight off the top of my head.
 
Theres a couple:

*Radio- the part when his mom dies and he starts tearing the house up.

*Because of Winn Dixie- When the girl is looking for the dog and the old black lady is yelling for her(im so ashamed)

*Man On Fire- I thought that it was real depressing when he has to trade in himself for the little girl.

Now, let me huddle in the corner and find all the pieces of my dignity that are left.

Click to expand...

The trauma.......they shot my MOTHER!

*ahem* Anyways

The Green Mile, Omg when he's in that chair in the end, and cures that woman of cancer.... it's one of the sadest films ever

Titanic - It was so upsetting because you know that all those people really DID die and hardly any of the 3rd class people got off at all. I think it was somthing daft like half a dozen of them survived (altho I could be wrong there :monster:) When the band plays that last song, Autumn i think it's called and it shows all those people waiting to die I was like in bits (Im FAR too soft) Then that selfish bitch hogs all that door to herself. Then when she dies right at the end as an old woman with all her pictures by her bed and they get reunited ....O_O.... ok, you get my point, this film kills me off big time :wacky:

Armageddon - I can't keep my promise Grace O_O. Oh gawd....I do actually cry all the way through this film

And omg, Man On Fire. When he's there on that bridge at the end and you just KNOW he's off to die >_<

Yeah I know, Iv just said all the same as everyone else there, but I can't think of anymore coz it's late, and those ones defo got me bad
 
The Lion King - ONLY because of Mufasa's death.

Fox and the Hound - Childhood friends turned against each other. Pretty sad stuff.

Bambi - Disney's looking pretty tear-jerking right about now.

Titantic and the Green Mile are worth mentioning as well. The Green Mile didn't hit me especially hard because I watched the movie after reading the book.
 
C.R.A.S.H. - where
When the kid is shot and you think it's all over...but it's not. Thank God the kid didn't die. I would've actually cried.
 
Has anyone seen Big Fish? It really is one of my favourite movies! It's about a father who talks about his life towards his son. But he is such a storyteller, that his life is really like a fairytale. And I really like Ewan Mcgregor..YUM!
 
Kill Bill is by far my favorite movie I've seen in the past few years.

I just absolutely loved it for it's theme on revenge, and from a woman's perspective.
 
The movies that make me cry:

1. Shenondoah. THIS MOVIE MAKES ME CRY SO D*** HARD EVERY SINGLE TIME!! It's a movie based during the Civil War. It's about a man with like 5 kids. (4 sons one daughter). One son has a wife and baby. The youngest son who is about 16 is taken hostage, because the yankees think he's on the enemy side. The father and takes two of his other sons, and his daughter out to find the youngest boy. The oldest son, with his wife is killed while the father is gone, by robbers. Along the way, one of the sons is shot dead by a yankee. (even though they are on the yankee side). In the end so many people die. IT's sooo sad!

2. The Titanic. I can't stand seeing the ship go down, it makes me bawl my eyes out almost every single time. Also...poor Jack!!!! I loved him. He was cute. :P and sweet...and oh.....he should have gotten on the floating door with her! :mad:

and many others that I can't think of at the moment.

my mom and dad says that "Ghost" always makes them cry. that and "Beaches". me, on the other hand, these make me cry:

The Wedding Singer: The scene when Adam Sandler sings Drew Barrymore that song on the plane always gets me...

Titanic: the saddest scene, imo, is the scene when
the camera pans through the sea to the frozen bodies and one of them was a woman holding a frozen baby. that was sad...

Crash: everything in this movie is moving.

and thats about it for me...

Grave of the Fireflies...
Saddest movie I've seen in my life....
And I agree on the Fox and the Hound thing...
That was a sad movie...
Ruin it with a sequel
*shakes fist*
 
i cant believe no one has said this yet but,
Romeo and Juliet- sure its a cliche and having guns instead of swords is a bit odd, but the end is still incredibly sad.

King Lear-
at the end when lear comes in with cordelia dead in his arms. then he dies.

Green mile- when the evil guy crushes the pet mouse and then john coffey heals him, and when he doesnt wet the sponge and makes sure that the guy doesnt die quickly
 
Movies that have brought a tear to my eye?

Artificial Intelligence- The part at the end, where humanity is long gone.

The Road to Terabithia- That girl did not deserve to die.

Saving Private Ryan- Perfect ending.

Forrest Gump- Very moving.

Big Fish- I liked it, and the end is pretty sad.
 
The Last Samurai -
at the end when Katsumoto has Algren help him die with honor, then the reactions of the soldiers... and when he returns to the Emperor with Katsumoto's word... the whole thing just makes me cry, its so powerful.

LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring -
when Boromir dies defending the Hobbits, and the scene with aRagorn after he comes to his rescue... it brings a tear to my eye.

LOTR: The Return of the King -
when Faramir charges out knowing his mission is a lost cause, and that it will liekly bring death, in attempt to be a man that his father could love... very emotional, gets me everytime.

Dragonheart -
When Bowen throws the ax into Draco's heart, it often brings a tear to my eye.

Starship Troopers -
becasue Paul Verhoven took my favorite novel and turned it into a violent exploitation film that had nearly no similarities with the source material... I seriously hate Verhoven for this terrible deed.

And there are other films that hit the emotional string... but I think thats enough for now... oh, and the ending of FFVIII has the same effect on me... so... yeah. :P
 
Oh, I have quite a few! And I'll probably be repeating some of the ones already mentioned. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, everyone here has great taste! Let's see.

The Crow ( The first one, with Brandon Lee. ) -
Eric and his girlfriend's tragic tale really moved me. He actually came back, from the dead, to avenge her brutal and senseless murder. Lee's protrayal of the vengeful bringer of justice was filled with such passion, rage, and sorrow - it brings a tear to my eye every time. This movie, is one of my favorites, of all time. RIP Brandon.

Blade Runner -
One of the ending scenes, of this masterpiece, stays with me. Roy, the renegade replicant, speaking his last. The words to me are like poetry and they move me. " I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shore of Orion. I watched c beams glitter near the dark near Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears, in the rain. Time to die. "
