Movies that make you cry?

C'mon admit it we've all gotten choked up at a good movie. The first movie that made me cry was E.T. when I was a kid. I cried like a baby when he died. LOL

That was probably the only movie that every made me really cry though. I admit I might get choked up. But I haven't flat out cried at a movie since then.

Re: Movies that make you cry?

I get choked up really easily...just last week I had some tears streaming down my face during an episode of Scrubs.

I shed some tears when Fiona's father croaked in Shrek 2 (or was it 3?)

But as for flat out bawling...I remember as a kid an IMAX movie about astronauts made my cry (but that was more so because I was scared of the astronauts and their big helmets)

Re: Movies that make you cry?

Oh I'm a huge sap. I admit it. I cry all the time during movies. I watched Gladiator again the other night. I always cry when they carry Maximus out of the Coliseum at the end.

Love stories don't get me too choked up, but I do like them. Things that make me cry are stories about leadership, character, overcoming adversity, the human spirit, things like that.

John Q. The whole damn movie...I just wonder what I would do if I was Denzel. That movie ****s me up, man. Sometimes Antoine Fisher gets me too, depends on my mood.

The end of Pursuit of Happiness when Will Smith's character is trying to fight back tears of joy...how can you not cry?

I also let my wife know how much I appreciated her movie choice

Passion of Christ made me cry (I am not joking).

Re: Movies that make you cry?

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. There are a couple of movies that choke me up pretty good if I'm in the right frame of mind.

At the end of Big Fish when the son realizes that his dad wasn't just a big liar and he finishes his story for him.
In Forrest Gump when Forrest is talking to Jenny's grave, saying how smart little Forrest is.
The scene in Crash where the Iranian store owner goes to confront the locksmith with a gun, and his daughter came running out to "protect" her father.

And of course, "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy..."

A good Denzel Movie that made me choke up (not really crying but damn close to it) was Man on Fire. A very good movie if you haven't seen it but you might need a tissue at the end.

Same here. I don't know how anyone could watch that without getting choked up.

Oh yeah, great flick right there. I definitely got choked up during that moment.

Speaking of Will Smith, has anyone seen Seven Pounds? I haven't but I'd like to.
