Films that make you weep like a baby? *Spoilers"

I was sat in a indie cinema watching LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (because Odeon in Oxford refused to show subtitled films at that time -- they also let CROUCHING TIGER go to the indies rather than put it on) and by the end not only was there a tear in my eye, but most of the audience (made up largely of elderly people) was also in tears. You got the feeling that for a lot of those folks the film had a more personal meaning than it ever could (luckily) for me.

Other than that, there are a few films that bring a tear (or at least a tight throat) to me: the realisation that James Cole is doomed in TWELVE MONKEYS; Gandalf's death in LORD OF THE RINGS; the last 10 minutes of Kubrick's PATHS OF GLORY; the death of the donkey in AU HAZARD BALTHAZAR; the death of the mother in CHATAEU DE MA MERE etc.

I hate to admit this but The Boxer scene where the boy walks into the gym changing room and finRAB his Dad (the boxer) dead on the table got me teary eyed.

Some scenes in Life is Beatiful, before the uplifting ending, are amazingly well done. Amazing stuff.
 
My Mother always cries when the CHAMP is on.

My girlfreind cries when AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN is on.

When TITANIC is on they both cry together ! :rolleyes:

At this point i go to the pub. :)
 
The one that did it for me was the ending of William Blatty's The Ninth Configuartion. What was worse was I bought the DVD with an alternate ending and that made me blub even more!!!!!
 
Whistle Down the Wind.....its an old B+W film, a bit corny at times. However if you don't cry when the plod are closing in on the fugitive [Alan Bates] towarRAB the end of the film - then you haven't got a soul :(
 
Oh I loved that, but for real tear jerkers, apart from City of Angels, its got to be the oldies. Grapes of Wrath, Dr Zhivago, Love Story and West Side Story get me every time. Oh yes and Evita. First time Madonna has ever made me shed a tear of sorrow-normally its her appalling acting that has me bawling:)
 
I cried at the Lion King, when Simbar's father is killed in the stampeed,:cry: The End of Blade Runner, when Batty (Rutger Hauer) does his 'Tears in the rain' speech is always very sad too. Sometimes the end of Gladiator gets me as well:rolleyes: Watership Down, the first and only time i saw it, i refused to watch it again :cry:
 
Very rarely does a film move me to tears, but I did cry (a little) after seeing an independent called 'Heavy', it was one of the best films I saw last year, and probably the most beautiful film i've ever seen.
