tear-jerkers

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.

braveheart

million dollar baby

forrest gump, armageddon and when i watched saving private ryan the end absolutely killed me.

Children of Intervention who cry during the interviews when asked about their drug abusive parents.

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.

Your place or mine?

fox and the hound

Rudy, obv

Damn i thought this thread was gonna be about jerking off while crying.
:jackoff: :(

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.

or maybe i was crying because my soul knew that later id watch spaceballs and realize that rick moranis is a god and that nobody would realize this and he wouldn't get to make a bunch more super hilarious movies where he has a huge helmet and plays with dolls

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.

You've never seen Rudy ??????????

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.

you not get that can of gerber i stars transferred? i even sent a coloring book. remember, stay inside the lines otherwise teacher will touch you in the bad spot.

I cried during one of the Land Before Time movies during school. Ryan Tessmer called me out. Embarrassing.

Life as a House.

requiem for a dream, adaptation., american beauty imo

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"

edit: i almost forgot about the green mile. jesus christ, that movie is so amazing/sad. the execution scene is so unbelievably fucking sad.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whPJw...eature=related

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?

Why do they call it the bad spot when it feels so good?

Turner and Hooch - when I was little I cried myself to sleep

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.

Fuck yeah. How on earth could I have missed E.T.

I was crying so much my mother overdosed me on lollies.

i almost cried at the end of American History X. only one i can think of right now not already named.

just recently watched Teeth and was real close to tears.

The Champ

John Q made me cry

Field of Dreams as well

guess I r big wuss

go watch Steel Magnolias - seriously

Click is definitely a tear-jerker

good flick

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.

UHF

My Life and What Dreams May Come weren't like awesome movies I don't think (only watched them once) but oh my god sad.

I can't believe im the only one here who saw million dollar baby.

I got more of these tear-jerkers, just lemme update my current movie db

omg yes. it's for this reason why i rarely ever watch this movie, it's so fucking sad.

The last episode of Friends is the closest I have ever come to crying at something on the TV :(

when that little kid gets hanged in enemy at the gates

Actually I break out in tears at every movie that has terribad poker action, because a little piece of me is slowly dieing. I was sobbing during the final poker scene in Casino Royale's straight-flush over Quads over Straight Flush garbage.

Also the latest hearthrob movie Lucky You made me cry a bunch of times.
Time after time when they are playing poker, and again when he folds the nuts against his dad so his dad could go on to try to win the WSO(almost)Poker.

Yeah but there's been so much worse poker in movies. That was nothing, they're just adding to the action for the audience's sake. Not one wants to see a set get beat by a backdoor flush. The part that bugged me the most was how he buys back in shortstacked and suggests doubling the blinds.

lol at criticizing fictitious poker play.

The Pursuit of Happyness


damn, what a movie

hated it...too familiar, but not to that extent. just kept reminding me of my flaws/dreams.

Field of Dreams where Costner says, "D-D-Dad? Wanna have a catch?" i lose it everytime right there.

not of the same category, but the wife had me watch "P.S I Love You" with her. lost it because of some stupid quote that reminded me of my grandparents and THEIR relationship.

stupid fuggin movies. :cry:

Great flix all!

I'm not surprized nobody has mentioned BIG FISH, but it is a very worthy addition, trust me. It's a tough movie to get into; (WTF it has puppets?!), but the ending seriously had me crying for 10 minutes, I just couldn't stop while watching it...

didnt really consider six feet under a tear jerker, but no doubt top five best drama shows evar

In no particular order:

ET
In The Name of the Father
Philidelphia (SP?)
Castaway hit a nerve too (im seeing a tom hanks theme going on in this thread)
Highlander - when connors wife dies, think it could be the Queen song that does it
