Girl in the Cafe.
Bill Nighy.
Awkward conversation.
Solid if predictable plot.

Awesomeness.

- If only
- Somethings gotta give (where she tells her daughter "so, what are you waiting for" - this moment gives me goose bumps every time I see it)
- the cartoon "Up" - it's funny and the same time with a deep sense

This is so sweet.

Seen FOrrest Gump, Like this conversation .. Maybe you will like it too..

Mom: Hi, Forrest.

Forrest: What’s the matter, mom?

Mom: I’m dying, Forrest. Come on in, sit down, over here.

Forrest: Why are you dying, mom?

Mom: It’s my time, it’s just my time. Oh, now don’t be afraid, sweet heart. Death is just the part of life. Somewhere all is destined to do. I didn’t know it. But I was destined to be your mama. I did the best I could.

Forrest: You did good mama.

Mom: Well, I haven’t believed you make your own destiny. You have to do the best with what God gives you.

Forrest: What’s my destiny, mom?

Mom: You’re going to have to figure it out for yourself. Life’s like a bar of chocolate, Forrest. You’ll never know what you’ll get.

The one movie that gets me no matter how many times I have watched it is AN American Rhapsody. It has a young Scarlett Johanson in it and it is just powerful all the way through!!

joyfulgrowth · 11-06-2009, 10:51 PM

The bucket list.
Just ordered the DVD to be able to see it again.

Engle · 11-07-2009, 01:44 AM

The Bicycle Thief an Italian black and white flick about a father and son searching for his stolen bike...just melts me and many others. Such a simplistic movie, yet so profound.

dhethic · 11-07-2009, 07:14 AM

The Matrix
Transformers

...what?! I'm serious!

hydroxide · 11-09-2009, 01:24 AM

I cried for sure at:
Dead Poets Society (I don't know which parts though I don't think it was because of Neil's death)
Ordinary People (I just watched this a few days ago and I cried. a lot.) -definitely recommended

Maybes:

Every holiday season I end up watching It's A Wonderful Life. I know I didn't cry the most recent time I watched it but I might have cried one of the other times. Then again it's a happy movie, so I don't know.

I watched The Pianist a few years ago, and I'm almost sure I cried, but possibly not. I remembered it only because someone else mentioned it here.

I "skimmed" the Kite Runner movie online (I read the book so I figured it wasn't worth watching the entire movie) and I may have cried at the end, I don't remember. I definitely cried when I read the book.

P.S. Glad to see The Hours and Mar Adentro on this list, since I'm planning to watch those

Engle · 11-09-2009, 03:11 AM

I have never felt so sad as in the movie ' Open Water ' based on the true story of 2 scuba divers on vacation. The couple go on a diving trip and when they arise, find themselves alone in the ocean when their diving boat abandoned them on a miscount.

Acting was B grade, yet their predicament was so compelling and heart-wrenching (and so totally idiotically unnecessary), could not help but feel sympathy and grief for the loneliness and terror experienced by these vacationers who just wanted to enjoy a vacation break.

BVanGuard · 11-09-2009, 10:51 PM

I'd have to say that Armageddon makes me cry.

TropicThink · 11-09-2009, 11:26 PM

Central do Brasil (Central Station). Just the soundtrack can bring on the tears... Heh.

Tanja · 11-10-2009, 10:43 AM

Million Dollar Baby
Breaking the Waves

Ezekiel2517 · 11-14-2009, 06:28 PM

The English Patient

American Beauty

Ghost World

I was going to say what it was about these films that touched me so deeply, but it's way too difficult to put it into words.

He also did Art School Confidential but I didn't like that one as much..

cacoon, when the old guy decides to stay on earth instead of having eternal life

Diandra25 · 11-21-2009, 01:45 PM

City of Angels

ALways cry...

jerrylewis · 05-02-2011, 05:17 AM

Yeah, I cried during that. Fortunately, everyone around me on the plane was asleep. Lee Pace does heartbroken so well, it makes me want to hug him. Or something.

Midnite · 05-02-2011, 05:41 AM

The Green Mile

Bollywood films with Shah Rukh Khan;
Khabi Kushi Khabi Gham
Kaal Ho Naa Ho

*Note to the OP of the thread:
I loved the Naruto series. I especially loved the 1st Ending for the first 10-15 episodes or so. Beautiful.

Steph4n1e · 05-02-2011, 05:48 AM

I'm not a crier but I do allow myself to do so when watching movies, so maybe I am MORE emotional...My list is endless but here are a few.

Letters to god
Dear John
The notebook
Million dollar baby
I am Sam
Life as a House
Pursuit of Happiness

etc... If someone dies.... I probably will cry

sniff

thrashedfingers · 09-13-2011, 12:16 AM

Man On Wire (it made me cry, but not from sadnes)
The Green Mile
The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (I was young)
i am sam
Rebuild of Evangelion 2.22(the ending was just so beautiful, see the show 1st)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part 1 (I cried when Dobby Died)
Lost (cried multiple times, but mostly from the seaon 3 finale)
Grave of the Fireflies ( the movie I cried to the most)

ZephyrusX · 09-13-2011, 12:57 AM

Wit depressed the hell out of me. Its about a English prof dying of ovarian cancer. There is a scene near the end where she starts crying for the first (and only?) time. I couldn't watch it any more at that point.

Mariana Trench · 09-13-2011, 01:12 AM

The Notebook, I Am Legend, and The Help that I can think of...

It highly depends on what mood I'm in.

VisceralFlame · 09-13-2011, 01:26 AM

Iron Giant definitely made me bawl.

Charlotte's Web, about the 3rd time I saw it when I was ten, when I realized what happened to charlotte.

The Notebook

Dear John

Its not quite a movie, but the ending to Crisis Core(video game) made me cry.

7 Pounds and The Pursuit of Happyness.

The Phantom of the Opera

Edward Scissorhands

and Artificial Intelligence. I only saw the end, but for some reason that was enough.
