I have cried at most of the films mentioned and also

Deep Impact where the parents give their baby to their daughter (sob sob sob)

One flew over the Cuckoo's nest is a weepy and also rage inducing film

Oh and the last episode of the last series of Dr Who when he loses Rose had me sobbing for hours :cry:
 
Cruel Intentions - Ending

Braveheart - Ending

Manchester United Treble Video - All of it ;)


and numerous pornos.

I'm sure there are lots more (not pornos) but I can't think of them right now.
 
Agree that most of the films mentioned here get me reaching for the tissues except for Titanic.
Try "A Night to Remember" with Kenneth Moore holding onto the little lost boy and trying to comfort him as the ship goes down, then you're talking.

Also would like to mention Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid" when they take the child away by force.

As you get older and have children just about anything can set you off. Then the irony is that your children who turned you into a big softie, sit around and laugh at you sniffing.
 
Quite a few over the years,if I'm watching alone of course!

Shawshank Redemption,Field Of Dreams,It's A Wonderful Life,and Big Fish I find very emotional films.Also certain scenes from movies,like The Terminator;where Reese tells Sarah he went through so much pain because he fell in love with her picture,and when the boy gives her the picture at the end,it always breaks me up! :cry:

The "tears in rain" speech at the end of Blade Runner is absolutely classic......The end of Planes,Trains,and Automobiles,where the last frame of the movie is John Candy with a huge smile,but a tear in his eye.....Uncle Buck,where the rebellious daughter gives her mother a hug at the end of the movie.Just beautiful!.....The song Rejoice In The Sun,at the end of Silent Running.....The end of Whale Music.

Yes,I even feel emotional at times during Titanic and Ghost!

I could name several other movies or scenes,but I think I've shamed myself enough for now! :D

I cried at 4/6 of them, Stand By Me made me cry buckets,

Also Lord of the Rings; Return of the King,
Awakenings
Pearl Harbour

Actually I think I cry at everything! :o

EDIT: The reason that I didn't cry at Forest Gump is because I haven't seen it.
 
Zefirelli's The Champ is another film that always makes me cry....'Wake up Champ, wake up'. I don't even think its a very good film, but when Jon Voight is laid out on the table, and his son doesn't understand that he's dead, it breaks my heart. Thats one of the only times I've seen my dad cry too!
 
Can't watch ET without blubbing at the end. Watched it once with a family friend, an absolute giant of a man, and he and I spent a good few minutes in tears when it had finished.
Pay it Forward and Who will look after my children are also tear jerkers for me, as is Life is Beautiful. But the one that never fails to reduce me to a blubbering wreck is It's a Wonderful Life. As soon they start bringing in the money, and they're singing Hark the Herald Angels Sing and James Stewart and his wife are crying, I join in with them!!!
 
ok, I'm going to add one to my original list: 'The Snowman'
I recently bought it for my daughter on DVD, I hadn't watched it for years but thought she'd enjoy it as she's very interested in snowmen at the moment and had been given a plate, cup and dish set for Christmas with 'The Snowman' on.
We sat and watched it together, simply enchanted by it, and then my daughter turned to me at the end and said in a very small, sad voice "snowman melted".
 
There are soooooooooo many I do not know where to start - but without a doubt the 2 films that had the most effect on me and moved me so much I was sobbing - not gentle crying in anyway - huge gasping sobs were Schindlers List and United 93 - both based on fact and moving beyond worRAB.
As for other fictional movies - Shawshank, Green Mile, Gone with the Wind and Love Story - get the tissues!
 
Lord of the Rings - I started sniffling about half an hour into Return of the King. By the time the film finished, I was sobbing!

Shawshank Redemption - always chokes me up at the end

Meet Joe Black - I forgot how much that made me cry until I watched it on TV the other night.
 
Yeah i agree, and A.I. aswell!!! I never cry when I watch films, but at the end of AI when the android (can't think of his name) sees his mother (there's loaRAB of other scenes too) you just can't help it!!!! :cry:
 
A Walk To Remember
Mockingbird Don't Sing
Armageddon
The Green Mile
Ghost
The Lion King
The Butterfly Effect
Bambi
ET
Titanic
Four Weddings and a Funeral

I cry a bit during most films.
