Yeah yeah, we're all men (cept the women) and we're all macho and shit.

But, films that made you cry, there's gotta be a couple, surely...

Mine, The Shawshank Redemption gets me almost every time (When Brooks hangs himself) but more recently, Gran Torino, I expected the movie to either be a pile of shit, or a Dirty Harry - Retirement movie. What I got I did not expect, and while I saw what was coming a mile away once the movie started, I still shed a Tear for Walt Kawalski.

Hows about you?

Grave of the Fireflies.
I was watching it on my computer as my younger brother was watching the tv and had to pause the movie and lock myself in the bathroom so I wouldn't embarassingly cry in front of him. It was the first time since I was a child that I ever bawled that hard. I was honestly curled up on the floor sobbing into my hands.

Lost in Translation made me really upset, but in a happy way.

It's a really refreshing film, there are many times when it could have just gone down the same old cliched road, but it completely steers clear.
Murray and Johansson really seem to bond as well.

  • Click: I teared up a bit when he was on the road and it was raining and... stuff was happening?
  • Jack Frost: I teared up when whatever happened to the father. I don't remember, but it was sad.

That's all I recall at the moment.

Click was a suprisingly awesome movie, deserved critical reception, in my opinion.

What Dreams May Come.  When he goes to Hell and his wife doesn't recognize him...and he can't save her...that shit hurts, man.


Saving Private Ryan.  At the end, when Pvt. Ryan looks at his wife in the graveyard and says "tell me I'm a good man, tell me I've lived a good life"...that shit hurts, man.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day.  When Arnold lowers himself into the molten metal at the end...that shit hurts, man.

Those are the three that will guarantee tears.

What is it with all you people and Click?  I can't say that I teared up once during that movie.  Yeah, it was sad the way they played it out, but the whole time, I was already in the mindset that none of this was real.  I'm guessing everyone else just got incredibly duped.


Also, I almost forgot to mention another flick that made me cry:  The Last King of Scotland.  This one was for a solely different reason.  When I had seen the movie, I didn't know a thing about Idi Amin.  After I watched the movie, even knowing that it was a fictionalized work involving a real-life tyrannical dictator, I was shocked at the atrocities one man was willing to commit...including to his own wife...and then force his sons and the entire city to look at what he'd done to her.

I cried for an hour straight after that movie out of pure terror.  What an incredible movie...so incredible that I can't even watch it again.  That movie scarred the fuck out of me.

@jakob187: I live pretty close to the city, so I know a decent number of people that lost family on 9/11. It touched me more, probably because I kept thinking of Adam Sandler in his comedic roles and comparing him to that character. It was a humanizing thing.

I couldn't take that movie seriously, which is a shame because I love the two actors who carry the movie. But the character (minus the guns and henchmen) is exactly (not even kidding, it's like the same person) like my landlord. So it just pissed me off reminding me of him instead of letting me settle into watching the movie :\

Bicentennial Man.  It doesn't seem like many people ever saw that movie, but there's a few parts, especially the ending, that are really sad.  I didn't have tears running down my face, but it got me a little emotional.

Hana-Bi, I had a sole tear drop cling desperately to my lower eyelid as it gave up hope and let go. A solitary tear for a solitary movie.

I vaguely remember Bicentennial Man. Not enough to remember the ending though, since I was just a kid when it came out.

The only movie that's ever brought me to tears (and they were tears of happiness) was the end of "In the Name of the Father", the part where Daniel Day Lewis' character is freed from prison. I loved that scene, because it isn't just a victory for his character, the audience feels it too.

Also I never cried at the end of T2, but it was pretty damn sad.
