[TheEschaton]

My Girl, hands down.


-TheE-

[Hulkein]

I agree with the last two, Terminator II and My Girl.

I'll add Stand By Me, just because it's sad in that it reminds you of being a kid doing the stuff they were, hanging out with your childhood friends.

[Asha]

The colour purple.
Crash.

[Drew2]

The Notebook
Finding Neverland
Armageddon
Basically any movie where someone joyful and cheery dies of slow terminal illness.

[Drew2]

Crash really wasn't sad. It was just a downer and ironic.

[The Cat In The Hat]

The Notebook
Titanic - Yes... I said it...
Ghost
City Of Angels

The Butterfly Effect

[Artha]

I can't really think of any movies that've made me cry.

[Czeska]

The Notebook made me sob for 45 minutes.
City of Angels just made me hate for days. Hate hate hate that movie.
Titanic made me cry the first time, now I just wince at the sound of his frozen fingers being pried off the wood.
Armageddon made me cry in the theatre cause I missed my dad so much at the time.
Um.. Bambi.

Shit, I'm not watching movies tonight. I'd probably cry at a freaking McDonald's commercial.

[Snapp]

Steel Magnolias
Set it Off
Titanic.. the first time

[Axhinde]

[Skeeter]

Born on the 4th of July
Less than Zero
What Dreams May Come
Red Dawn

[Jazuela]

Schindler's List
Titanic
Sound of Music
West Side Story
ET
The Green Mile
The Last Waltz (documentary about the last performance of the Band)
...and a whole bunch of others.

Yes, I am emo. I get choked up watching that McDonald's commercial where the old guy asks to sit with the old lady after he gets his meal, and with some of those old Kodak commercials, and every year that Coca Cola does a "I'd like to teach the world to sing" reunion commercial.

I am a total sap.

[Jolena]

Holy shit, Red Dawn. Forgot ALL about that one.

What Dreams May Come is excellent too but I didn't cry so much.

Also, I started to list ET but I only cried once and that was it. I didn't consider it much of a tear jerker after that. So I just listed ones that make me cry every time I watch it.

[Terminator X]

Hotel Rwanda
The Sweet Hereafter
Schindler's List
Platoon
Bambi
Phenomenon
City of Angels
Ghost
Requiem for a Dream
Glory

[Lord Dainslef]

Turner & Hooch
What Dreams May Come
Star Trek: Nemesis

[Terminator X]

Originally posted by TheEschaton
My Girl, hands down.

IIRC, I'm pretty sure that movie was sold off as being kid-friendly when television had fewer standards.

[Latrinsorm]

Passion of the Christ.
Fahrenheit 9/11, when the clips of 9/11 come on.
Terminators II and 3, a little bit.

When I was a kid, A River Runs Through It made me cry for like half an hour. I don't know if it'd have the same impact now.

[4a6c1]

Saving Private Ryan
We Were Soldiers (Book was sadder)
Psycho (Sad when the Psycho dies.)

Dumbo, lol. YOU CRIED FOR DUMBO.

When I was a little girl Dumbo made me angry because he could fly and I couldnt. So I giggled right along when all the other animals made fun of him. Of course back then I was still trying to persuade my little brother that his stuffed animals came alive at night and drooled over his sleeping body so that he would give me all his halloween candy and I would make them be nice and not eat him. Its all irrelevant.

BUT OMG YOU CRIED FOR DUMBO.

[StrayRogue]

The Passion of the Christ would have been better if Jesus hadn't been white.

[CrystalTears]

Hey, he was separated from his mother. Disney is a twisted fucker who insists on having all main characters either have a missing parent, or watches one die.

Meanie. :tissue:

[Myshel]

Who will Save My Children ( a tv movie with Ann-Margaret that made me cry for days)
Terms of Endearment
Steel Magnolias
My Girl

Of course I have been known to cry at commercials, but these are the ones that I actually sobbed, embarrassing family and friends.

[Edaarin]

Okay nobody can seriously tell me that they didn't start weeping at Daniel LaRusso's face when he found out the ultra-montane millionaire was actually Creese's friend who had nothing better to do than torment a 30 year-old aging Karate champion.

[Augie]

I'm such a huge sap. Every time I see these movies I cry. Let's see...

My Girl
Armageddon
John Q
Mr. Holland's Opus
Bicentennial Man
City of Angels
Ghost
Set it Off
Frequency
Edward Scissorhands
Saving Private Ryan

I get teary eyed at the Kodak commercial when the kids are in the museum and they are being told to listen to the pictures to hear them say "I will live forever". Yeah it gives me chills.

I know there's other movies, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

[Latrinsorm]

Oh Lord, Edward Scissorhands. Totally.

[Sietzer]

Old yeller
The fox and the hount :cry::crt::cry::help: im crying now thinking of it

[MangledKitty]

Lion King
Schindler's List
Lord Of The Flies
Edward Scissorhands
My Girl
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Titanic


Any movie when an animal dies makes me cry. :(

[Augie]

I just watched Ladder 49 for the first time. Chock that up as a sad movie :cry:

[Chaddy]

Closer

[Artha]

Disney is a twisted fucker who insists on having all main characters either have a missing parent, or watches one die.
101 Dalmations is the only Disney movie where both parents are alive/present throughout the film.

[Nauriel]

The notebook
Armageddon
Message in a bottle
Schinder's List
the Lion King
Ghost
Edward Scissorhands
Romeo and Juliet- the last remake, im such a sap
All quiet on the Western Front- the end made me cry
Life is Beautiful-I get misty eyed thinking of it :tissue:

[CrystalTears]

Aw, Life is Beautiful. I forgot about that one. Ditto on the misty eyes thinking about it. :tissue:

[Hulkein]

Forrest Gump

[Bastard]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Closer
Requiem for a Dream

All three end on such a depressing note, though Requiem is far more blantant about it than the other two.

[Caiylania]

Ok people, this thread has me wanting to rent or throw out the movies listed so far. Where is my kleenex!!!

[ElanthianSiren]

Great Expectations
Braveheart
The Crow (original of course)
Dances with Wolves
Empire of the Sun
Frequency
Any of Shakespeare's tragedies

[Toxicvixen]

My Girl
What Dreams May Come
Amercian Beauty
The Wizard (I have my reasons)
My Life Without Me
City of Angels (I STILL hate that Movie)
Life As a House

[Czeska]

Thought of another, whether it's here or not I dont know..

Untamed Heart

[Back]

Hmm, not sure I should admit this one...

Contact

:duck:

[Hulkein]

Contact is one of my favorite movies. Only sad part I remember is her dad dying, though. I guess the skepticism and hostility she faces at the end is a little sad.

[Ebondale]

A walk to remember
King Kong (Peter Jackson's version)

EDIT TO ADD:

Million Dollar Baby - Oh yeah. Bigtime.

have to add Brokeback mountain..I just saw it today..it really made me cry, truely tragic.

[Edited on 12-20-2005 by Nauriel]

[AbnInfamy]

"Blue Car" was a little depressing
"Ghost World"
"Big Fish" I was on an airplane. Pathetic to have a dozen strangers around you watching you snivel like a little bitch.

I can't wait to see that one, and I love your avatar.

[thornhappy]

hrm.. I'll agree with most of the above, and add 'A Home at the End of the Road'

[Skeeter]

Zoolander

It was so unwatchable it made me :cry:

[Latrinsorm]

The Willy Wonka remake with Johnny Depp made me cry because it was SO UNBELIEVABLY AWFUL. I'm surprised they didn't just throw Roald Dahl's corpse on the screen and piss directly on it.

I don't get how Eternal Sunshine had a depressing ending.

:SPOILER:


:SPOILER:


They get back together with the foreknowledge of what will go wrong with their relationship. What more could one ask for?


:SPOILER END:


:SPOILER END:

[Edited on 12-20-2005 by Latrinsorm]

[CrystalTears]

Oh if we're going to talk about movies that make you cry for being bad:

Glitter
Closer

[Bastard]

>>I don't get how Eternal Sunshine had a depressing ending.<<

SPOILER



















It depends on how you interpret the ending. You see Joel and Clementine running along the beach in Montauk over and over, each time the exact same way. Basically, they eventually end up hating eachother, erasing eachother, and somehow falling back in love again, over and over. That's what I got out of it when I first saw it, and I know a few other people that did the same. I guess you could say that maybe it's sweet in some way, but I find it depressing.

Interestingly enough:

From the IMDb trivia page:

The original script featured a cut beginning and ending sequence that took place in the future. In the end, an older Clementine comes in to have the procedure done and a look at her screen shows that she's had the procedure done multiple times and all of them involved Joel.

Like I said, it's all interpretation, and I just happen to find that scenario somewhat depressing.

[Edited on 12-21-2005 by Bastard]

[Latrinsorm]

I totally, totally missed that. :oops: Yes, that would indeed be depressing.

[Jolena]

Phenomenon was pretty sad, now that I think of it. :cry:

We had a nice long thread in the Pickpocketing folder not to long ago that was pretty much all Big Lebowski quotes. Though, it was heavily edited.
