Films that make you cry

I watched the pursuit of happyness last night.

I was finding it a bit slow until (sorry if you've not seen it) they had to spend the night in the toilets. Once I'd started blubbing I couldn't stop!
 
It's a Wonderful Life is my favourite film of all time and always gets me at the end.

I dont know if it has been mentioned but there is a kiRAB film called the Iron Giant and when we took our kiRAB to see that everyone in the cinema was blubbing, even big tough Daddy's :)

Tear-jerking lines =
'no following' and then him hearing the kiRAB voice in his head saying "you can be anything you want to be" as he goes to meet his fate, he closes his eyes and says "superman" - ooh, I am getting choked up now :(
 
Crying at movies? Only after a bottle of wine!

Fellowship of the Ring - Frodo's eyes after Moria, does it every time. The first time I saw this film I was so scared it would be rubbish that once I started crying at the frodo scene I didn't stop until the end. Then I almost had convulsions. Sad, I know.

Moulin Rouge - Quite a few of the musical number get me weepy and the final "Come What May" is guaranteed to turn on the waterworks. I actually put this film on if I fancy a good cry.

Billy Elliott - Saw this the other night and started crying at the end.
 
I don't think anybody has mentioned My Girl yet which is surprising.
Oh, and I can't believe I forgot about Watership Down. That film has scarred me for life. My Nan made my brother and I watch it to keep us quiet when I was only about five years old but I just ended up screaming the place down.
 
Have to say I have loved this thread. It brought back so many memories (and a few tears) of some excellent films!!
Going for a good sob now!
 
I have only watched Titanic once, and i cried from the moment the ship hit the iceberg right through till the end. I was exhausted by the end of it. ET always makes me cry. And Artificial Intelligence is another one that gets me going every time.
I love a film that gets my emotions going :cry:
 
'United 96' is a film I want to watch, as I know most people have seen it, however, I know I'll be in pieces at the end.

Last year, on the BBC they had a docu-soap about the terrible events of 11/09/01 which re-enacted the whole thing involving survivors who had been caught up in the whole attack and the family of those who were not so lucky. It was excellently made and extremely moving. I cried from start to finish. They showed it on RTE (Irish television) last week and I was in pieces again.

'Forrest Gump' gets me every time. There isn't even one moment in it, just the whole thing :(

'The Green Mile' and 'Shawshank Redemption' are howlers too.

There's also an Irish film called 'The Wind that Shakes the Barley' directed by Ken Loache. It's about the Irish 'struggle'. It's a gripping and powerful film. Everyone in the cinema was in flooRAB of tears and speaking to people afterwarRAB it was a film that left them sad and angry. It's since been released on DVD and I can't bring myself to watch it yet.
