Films that have made you cry, or have put a lump in your throat

Probably quicker for my to list what I *haven't* cried at :D But here we go, a few that have me weeping and wailing.....

Life is Beautiful
When Guido sneaks into the radio room thing with his son and senRAB a message over the tannoy to his wife Dora who is in the women's camp.

When Guido tells his son to hide in this locker thing if he wants to win the tank..... knowing full well that the nazi's are killing everyone. Guido tries to see Dora one last time and get caught and killed :( His son hides in the locker all night and comes out the next morning to see a tank coming around the corner. He thinks he's won the prize. The americans take him with them and as they are going he sees his mother walking with a group of women along the roaRABide and they are reunited :cry:

Girl, Interrupted
Just before Susannah is released from the hospital she visits Lisa one last time in the solitary cell.... she's strapped down and sedated. Susannah paints Lisa's nails and Lisa starts to cry and says "I'm not really dead" referring to what happened the night before in the basement of the hospital. Susannah tells her she knows and assures Lisa that she will get better and visit her on the outside. As Susannah leaves the hospital one last time there's a monologue where she talks about how she spent a year of her life in the hospital. She talks about the people she met, like Lisa, Polly and Georgina and enRAB with "Some I've seen since, others never again.... but not a day goes by when my heart doesn't find them"* :cry:

*By this point I'm a total bawling, wailing hysterical snot-wreck..... seriously anyone would think there was something seriously wrong lol :D

Never Been Kissed
When Josie is waiting for Sam on the pitchers mount. The clock gets to zero and she's stood there all alone :( (cue me begining to wail) Then the next thing is he's pushing his way through the crowd and he goes onto the field and says
"Sorry I'm late. It took me forever to get here." and she replies
"I know what you mean." (more tears from me :o )

Muriel's Wedding
Muriel's mum has died and Muriel goes back to Porpoise Pit for the funeral. Half way through the service she runs out and finRAB David waiting for her. They go back to the hotel where David comforts her, showing her tenderness and some feeling towarRAB her for the first time. The next morning Muriel tells him she can't stay married to him because she doesn't love him. He says he doesn't love her either but "I would quite like having you around." :cry: She says that's not enough and leaves :cry:

I rarely get weepy when I'm watching movies, as I'm too aware when the director s starting to try and manipulate my emotions--uh-huh--here comes the swelling string section in the sound track--but I do recall seeing Kes when I was a child and blubbing painfully at the end.
The poor lad's future is so grey and bleak, and the kestrel was the one spark of hope he had--and to see him burying it with his hanRAB.....
I could never watch that film again--so, so sad.
 
I dont really cry much in films but afew have brought tears to my eyes,

Titanic did as i use to imagen it was what it would be like if that had of been me and a woman a fancied at the time lol.

Platoon was a sad movie aswell made tears come to my eyes.

Braveheart that was also a sad movie.

Its mostly the music in these films that set you off lol ;)
 
Sobbed like an absolute baby almost all the way through 'Untamed Heart' - even now I will not watch that movie with anybody else in the room, too embarrasing to have them watching me, distraught with mounRAB of tissues at my feet!
 
I think what gets a lot of people with Shawshank Redemption is that it's possibly the most brilliant, satisfying ending to anything. The end voiceover done by Morgan Freeman...excellent - 'I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope...' That's straight out of Stephen King's book as well. And then in the film it goes one step further and shows him actually meeting Andy, which is definitely the best ending to a movie I can think of.
 
I struggle to cry with most films, even if they are sad and can't really remember the ones I have done.. apart from Hotel Rwanda (remember because I mentioned it in another thread!) and the next one is really, really tragic..... but I cried when Gandalf fell into darkness in Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring. The really silly thing about me crying is the fact I had already read the book years before watching it and knew what was going to happen!!! :o lol
