all right so i love watching tear-jerkers so much its ridiculous. and i mean non-romantic tear-jerkers. those are great too but they piss me off too much. other ones even tho they make me so sad make me feel great. i dunno why but its got something to do with sympathizing with the most pure and horrible of human conditions.
i mean movies like schindlers list, saving private ryan, and blood diamond. just watched hotel rwanda again recently, good movie, but really the redeeming parts of it are simply that the story is omgamazing and cheadle's character is cool. its def a tear-jerker still. gonna watch sometimes in april soon. that is apparently the best film about the tutsi/hutu genocide, and that outa be a great tear-jerker. also pianist. also getting a documentary about holocaust concentration camps called night and fog. that will possibly be the strongest one yet.
so anyways give me some examples of movies that you find heart-wrenching in a way that makes you feel incredibly sympathetic for the protagonists.
ive seen saving private ryan like seven times and still cry like six times during it. such an amazing movie. which reminds me, i also got tae guk gi on queue.

dude the entire saving private ryan is too awesome. scene were ribisi's character dies is still one of the best ever. spielberg is still best director ever too. by end do you mean end where hanks dies or end where old damon is at the grave?
armageddon? really? doesnt affleck die? isnt that supposed to be a joyous occasion?
gonna hafta watch gump again cuz hanks is awesome.
im reminded of titanic. wanna watch that cuz i bet its great, but i cant bring myself to watch romances. would rather get socked in the face than watch a romance even though some of them are greatness.

nah armageddon kills me when bruce willis sacrifices himself to save the planet and affleck is crying his eyes out as is liv tyler willis daughter and its the whole hero, emotional farewell thing that gets me.
With saving private ryan its when tom hanks dies thats the most emotional bit, but the grave bit is also really sad, double whammy really. Though i dont think ive ever cried so much than when i watched forrest gump and jenny dies, i was also like 11 at the time and watching it wid my mum and when she cried to i totally went lol. Anyway im now gonna work out then ring my gf so i actually feel like a man again.

hmm i actually kinda remember armageddon being kinda like that.
and it takes a real man to cry. just as long as it involves somebody dying.

once had a cat named oscar whom i adored. after he died all anybody had to do was mention the name 'oscar' and i would start crying for years to come. my dad would get pissed too. his fault for banging a woman with the most emotionally wimpy genes who also coddled her children.
so yea i was a child. its alright to have a vagina when you're a prepubescent boy. actually, im pretty sure that on the genetic level in many ways boys are actually girls previous to puberty.
now i only cry on the rare occasion that a great and emotionally close thing dies, or when my medium-rare steak is cooked medium-well.

The last movie/documentary I cried my eyes out was "Stevie". That docu was so haunting.
And I can still cry when I see Ali McGraw die in "Love Story"

ET - aka "how to fuck with an 8 year old". He dies (cry), comes back to life (hooray!) and then leaves! (bawl)
DragonHeart - has to turn on his best friend, to entice his own death, in order to save the world.
I won't watch either film again 'cause of the waterworks.
King Kong - giant gorilla gets captured, only tries to survive and gets killed.
The Green Mile - innocent, caring man/miracle about to be executed. Blubbers like a baby. Hate & venom from the witnesses.
Cold Feet - Rachel's death.
Imitation of Life - a black girl, who can pass for white, is ashamed & embarrassed of her mother (who is very obv black) and treats her like shit. The end ( I won't spoil it) is absolutely harrowing.
Any film where animals die.
NB: Braveheart was such a contrived and historically incorrect POS that I can't stand it nor enjoy it as purely fiction. The same goes for The Patriot - Gibson's character had to have a name change as a result. And both movies "heroes" were actually complete twats themselves, in real life too, guilty of many of the same injustices that they were fighting against. Irony, huh?

lol.. you ladies cry at movies? go put on a skirt.
Actually, any movie where the hero realizes he's missed out on the best years of his life with his father, make me choke up.

I haven't cried in 17 years. However, these movies hit me on an emotional level big time, be it super happy or sad:
Rocky
Braveheart
Apollo 13 (I know wtf? But when they come out of the blackout period I'm so happy)
Awakenings
My Girl (can't believe no one mentioned this one, when that little shit Caulken dies, that sad!)
Hook
Rudy
Patch Adams
Lion King
Land Before Time ('rilla's story made me laugh. Reminded me of whenI was a kid and I first watched the movie with my older "super tough" cousin and he started crying big time)
Also, did anyone else ever get super sad watching Ernest movies? Always at that point when he realized no one liked him? I mean, I know it's an Ernest movie but holy shit. When he thought he lost his dog in the Hallowe'en one, his only true friend in the world, pretty rough I tell ya.
