Oldies: Which films still make you cry?

It's a Wonderful Life
ET
Inn of the Sixth Happiness
Bambi
Lassie
Field of Dreams
Ghost
Beaches
Ring of Bright Water
Born Free (except for the music)
 
Kes is very sad , also find It's a wondeful life really moving . But the saddest ive ever been watching a movie was during AI it was awfully sad and moving , even though it wasnt the greatest of movies almost had me reduced to tears .Oh forgot about Ring of Bright Water when i was a kid lol broke my heart watching that :)
 
I cry at pretty much anything remotely sad/happy/involving animals. Even if it's a film I hate, like Titanic, if it gets to a sad bit I'm blubbing like a baby. Such a wuss. :o

Ditto to most of the films other people have said, particulary Ghost and Bambi.

I'll also add the end of Terminator 2 when Arnie gets lowered into the pit of molten metal, still gets me and I've seen it about 25 times. :rolleyes:

Also in The Land Before Time when the little dinosaur's mother gets killed near the beginning (by a T Rex I think). Haven't seen it for donkeys years but I know exactly what would happen if I did.
 
A few already mentioned would be

E.T.
Steel Magnolias (Shirley Maclaine - what an actress ! )
Terms of Endearment (Shirley Maclaine again fantastic in this)
The Green Mile
Beaches
Ghost
Born Free (this really gets me sobbing when Elsa comes back after one of the later releases all skinny and injured :( )

As i've got older i seem to cry at pretty much anything that's remotely sad !

oh and Jerry Maguire - "You had me at hello" what a great line !
 
Yes Ring of Bright Water, watched it about a year ago and it still made me cry. The Green Mile too.

But if we're bringing books into it - Angela's Ashes. Heartbreaking! The film wasn't a patch on the book.
 
The Wizard of Oz always sets me off, particularly at the end when Oz tells Dorothy she can go home to Kansas. :cry: I don't know why I cry at it but maybe it's because I felt sorry for the characters. I haven't watched it for years but I'm not even going to try because I know I'll start blubbering like a baby when I do watch it (and I'm normally very strong...) :D
 
A Matter of Life and Death
The Green Mile
It's a Wonderful Life
Stand By Me (watched all the time when I was younger, made me cry that
Chris (River Phoenix) was killed
 
It's A Wonderful Life - I actually start crying when the pages in the book are turning in the opening credits!!! Don't ask me why, maybe it's because I've seen it so many times and I know for certain I will be bawling by the end of it! It's not a delicate little weep either ... :o I.sob.my.hhheart.out. It seems the happier the ending, and the more traumatic the journey to get there, the more likely I am to cry.

The Railway Children is another one. I honestly think if I ever met Jenny Agutter I'd give her a Chinese Burn till the tears flowed. Revenge for all the times she's made me cry over the years!!;)

Ghost is another - I remember sitting in our local flea-pit (and that's not just an expression, trust me) in a row of particularly rickety seats, and once I started blubbing the whole row was shaking. Luckily no one else was sat in the same row. (Luck or good judgement on the part of the other cinema-goers - I'll never know!):o
 
Most of the films above make me cry, but I would like to add The Killing FielRAB to my list. The ending is very emotional and then they play Imagine by John Lennon over it. :cry::o
 
I loved that film, was'nt he hanRABome, it was such a lovely story.

Its a Wonderful Life, always watch it at Christmas time.

Saw a little gem of a film the other evening called "Dear Frankie" on BBC 1, it brought tears to my eyes.
 
This really isn't old enough to qualify but:


I forgot 'Titanic' - I'm ok until near the end starting when the old lady throws the necklace
into the water, then you see her sleeping I assume dying and you see the photographs of everything she's done in her life, then her boyfriend waiting under the clock and all the frienRAB on Titanic as she joins them all in heaven. It never fails to make me weep:cry:
