Chasing Amy--when Amy and Ben Affleck have that fight in the rain, she walks away while the camera stays with Affleck only for her to come back running into his arms some seconds later. Gets me everytime!

The 25th Hour--the final sequence. A father is driving his convicted drug-dealer son to jail but on their way there the father (Brian Cox) is telling his son (Edward Norton) that he doesn't have to take him to jail--instead they can take a different road and the son could start a whole new life somewhere else, start a family, etc. Brian Cox's words and Spike Lee's imagery combine to create a powerful emotional effect.

I have absolutely no idea why, but I'm nearly familiar with every scene in that movie but I don't think I've ever scene it all the way through. Weird.

From Here to Eternity--Montgomery Clift playing taps with tears running down his face. I'd set it up more, but I don't want to spoil it for people who've never seen it.

Schindler's List--
Oskar Schindler: I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don't know. If I'd just... I could have got more.
Itzhak Stern: Oskar, there are eleven hundred people who are alive because of you. Look at them.
Oskar Schindler: If I'd made more money... I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I'd just...
Itzhak Stern: There will be generations because of what you did.
Oskar Schindler: I didn't do enough!
Itzhak Stern: You did so much.
[Schindler looks at his car]
Oskar Schindler: This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people.
[removing Nazi pin from lapel]
Oskar Schindler: This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern. For this.
[sobbing]
Oskar Schindler: I could have gotten one more person... and I didn't! And I... I didn't!

I've seen Return of the Jedi about 20 gazillion times. But you know what? When Luke says, "I have to save you, Father!" and DV/AS says, "You already have, Luke. You already have. Tell your sister... you were right about me..." I break down every single time.

"A League of Their Own" - when the girl whose father has raised her leaves home. And then again, at the end, when the older versions of the women are at their reunion at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Happens every freaking time I see the movie. In fact, I'm tearing up just thinking about it as I'm writing this.

(derail) Hey, the_Somalian, I just was composing a response to your Happiness post and it disappeared! Anyway, yes I do believe there is a true thing called happiness beyond removal of troubles--usually tied in with gratitude. (re-rail)

OK, crying moments: how about "You had me at hello!" in Jerry Maguire ?

the scene where the Indians are being shot down in The Mission -- uncontrollable bawling.

I don't cry at movies, no not ever. I have come close a handful of times.

Return of the King: When Frodo has to say goodbye to Merri Pippin, and finally Sam. Because he was going to a place none of them could follow him to.

The Land Before Time: When Little Foot has to say goodbye to his dying mother. I was a little kid, killing Little Foot's mother in such a drawn out violent way; and so early in the movie was an unforgivable crime.

The Passion of Christ: I came close to crying once or twice during that movie. Movies on crucifying Christ have always done that to me.

Ok I lied, there has been ONE movie that made me cry. It not only accomplished that feat, it made me cry TWICE. The movie? "The Elephant Man" with John Hurt. Maybe its the fact that the movies is based on the true story of a hideously deformed boy who is raised in a circus. But when he is kidnapped from the man who is trying to save him from the circus and he is being beaten with a cane back at the circus by his evil manager I lost it.

The elephant man walks around wearing a mask so that people don't stare at him with such horror. He disembarks from a train I believe and is trying to to leave when two stupid boys start making fun of him and follow him. He starts trying to run from them and the boys chase after him. This attracts a large group of people who all join the chase and they finally corner him and rip off his mask. The elephant man then shouts to them all
"I am not an animal!"
"I am...a human....being!"

I lost it again, I wan't to see the movie again just to see if it can do it to me still, but its a hard movie to find, its very old (Black and white).

I about cried while sitting in the library reading the Worthing Chronicles.

Of course, I judge books and movies by their ability to evoke emotion (other than disgust, embarresment and boredom)

"I can't carry the ring, Mr. Frodo, but I can carry you."

Samwise Gamgee is perhaps the greatest hero ever to grace the silver screen, and one of the greatest to walk across the printed page as well. And Sean Astin's performance was nothing short of perfect.

In America, where the daughter tells her father to say goodbye to his dead son.

Silly and obscure, but... Ever see "Rock & Rule"? There's a moment where the heroine tries to sing to banish a demon, knowing it may be a futile effort. The hero joins her, knowing they may both might die, but in harmony they're able to send the demon back. That scene always gets me. Courage and loyalty in the face of what seems to be a hopeless situation.

Another one from Samwise-
"I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise. Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee, and I don't mean to. I don't mean to."

Also, the Shadowlands wedding scene-the second wedding, the *real* one, with C.S. Lewis' bride on her sickbed with cancer-always does me in. So much for machismo.

I don't remember having ever actually cried during a movie. I've come close.

A couple of my friends and I went to see the Pokemon movie, and we all nearly cried when Ash was turned to stone. But we were ten or something, and all of us were very sensitive young boys.

The inevitable scene in all movies starring a boat in which the boat is destroyed, sunk, or beached.

1. Waterworld (5 hankies)
2. Sahara (3 hankies)
3. Pirates of the Carribean ( a box of hankies)
4. Titanic (half a hankie for the old tub)
5. Gilligan's Island opening sequence ( a roll of Brawny)

And that movie Air Bud. Went and saw that with my parents and when the kid is yelling, "Go! Go away!" I came really close.

Steel Magnolias, when the machines are turned off and the men all leave, one at a time, and then the camera shows Sally Fields still there, holding her daughter's hand.

How about "Be at peace, Son of Gondor?" That one still gets me.

Passion of the Christ when Mary is running to him as he's falling and she sees him falling as a little boy.

Um...it isn't that old a movie; it was made in 1980.

I've been thinking, and there are some other moments for me:

Return of the King - near the end when everyone bows to the four hobbits, recognizing their contribution to the destruction of the Ring.

Titanic (a film I mostly don't like) - when they show the older couple laying in bed holding each other as the water rises.

The Trouble With Angels - when it is announced that Mary is entering the convent after graduation and her best friend, Rachel, won't even acknowledge her.

There are surely lots of others, because movies make me cry all the time.

Yes, yes yes!

Hmmmm, well when I was a wee lass and first saw Honey I Shrunk the Kids, when the ant died to protect the kids and they just shrugged and moved on, I ran screaming from the room and buried myself in the couch and cried the rest of the movie. And also when I was little, apparently I bawled violently at the end of E.T. (I hate goodbye scenes)... that one still gets me [Frown]

The Green Mile gets me every time (and I've seen it like ten times)... at about five different parts, but the worst is the very last lines.

The end lines of Dune (miniseries) gets to me too, as well as certain parts of The Prince of Egypt. The Crow also. I get a little teary at the end of Equilibrium, as well as the end of Blade Runner. And the end of that ST movie, it might be Generations (the one where the Enterprise crash lands on a planet).

Probably a lot more, I cry at books and movies too easily. Oh, and add Futurama to the list (the dog one and one of the ones with Leela's parents).

Terminator 2: Judgement Day. At the end when the Terminator asks to be lowered into the molten steel and John is bawling and ordering him not to and he says "Now I know why you cry." Every time, I at least mist up a little, if not cry.

Also I second Myr: The episode of Futurama with Fry's dog is one of the saddest things ever.

There's plenty of examples for me, but for some reason one just came to mind.

When I was in pharmacy school I'd be up most nights studying and I'd take a break at midnight to watch Star Trek: Voyager. Now I've cried in more movies than I can count, but there are very few moments that I've cried during a television show. But this episode of Voyager always got me at the end. If you try to figure out why just by reading the summary, you won't get it. But if you've ever seen the episode, maybe you'll understand.

I really miss Voyager. I wish they'd start playing it again.
 
Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :
 
Oh! That reminds me that an episode of Star Trek made me cry too... TNG, when Captain Picard "lives" a whole life on a planet that is doomed.
 
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
 
OH my gosh, don't even remind me. There are so many weepy Captain Picard moments for me. *sniffle* And that is a great episode by the way.

social_chic, you nailed one of mine on the head. Deep Impact makes me bawl like a nutcase every time I watch it, and that's one of the parts. I also can't stand when Elijah wood has to get on the bus without her...I can't stand when Tea Leoni gives up her seat for Beth and Beth's daughter.

Little Women is one of those movies that make me bawl all the way through. Not just the sad, but the many happy parts all the way through that movie. I love it when Marmie reads their father's letter at the beginning of the movie, and when she has to say goodbye to them to go see him in Washington Hospital. Ah, it all just kills me.

I cried bitterly at the end of Forrest Gump, when he's at his wife's grave and starts to cry. I cried when he goes in to sit down with his little son for the first time...when Bubba dies....yeah. That's another one of those 'cry all the way through it' movies.

I cry in Serenity, but not where you would think. Not when 'it' happens, but later, when they pan over those faces on the stones, with that music, and everyone surrounding Zoe....*blubber* I also get all choked up during Mal's 'love' speech. It's just so great.

Return of the King is so full of bawling spots...but the one that gets me EVERY TIME is the charge of the Rohirrim. Theoden's speech, he crashes spear on spear with all of his riders and then BAM! Off they go! It kills me.

That's "The Inner Light". The one I mentioned above. It was just absolutely heartbreaking.
 
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
 
I need to echo the cries of Return of the King. The first time I saw it, I cried starting about when Merry and Pippin got separated, and didn't really stop until half an hour after the film. (I was also sleep-deprived and had spent nearly 8 hours in the theatre at that point)

Others:

The Pianist - I bawl when he sits down for the Nazi dude.
Gladiator, Amadeus - Death scenes.
Les Choristes - the farewell notes. Oh goodness, do I cry at that part.
 
Posted by foundling (Member # 6348) on :
 
Little Women is a movie that gets me everytime, too.
The scene where Beth is dieing, and comforts Jo frickin kills me. I HATE Claire Danes and her gyrating lower lip, but I still cant help but bawl.

I also cant seem to help but cry when the father dies in "The Lion King". I remember watching it with this little kids I was babysitting, and they made fun of me mercilessly for tearing up at that part. Little bastards.

Any book by Barbara Kingsolver is a pretty much garenteed to make me cry. Especially "The Poisonwood Bible".
 
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
 
When I'm alone I cry. When I'm not, I rarely do, although I'm getting better.

-Nobody Knows, a Japanese film about a family of children abandoned by their mother. I watched it on my Birthday last year. It's NOT a Birthday film, although very good. I wept in the theatre.
-Serenity (I sniffled in the theatre. Later that evening, I sobbed.)
-Amadeus (I actually didn't cry. I watched it with my parents and I was so deeply affected that I didn't cry. I was angry at my parents for 'making' me watch it. But a few days later I sat down to practice my Mozart and teared up. So, yeah.)
-Various West Wing Episodes (Yup)
-The Return of the King (This varies with my mood)
-Goodbye Mr. Chips
- West Side Story. The second time around. I honestly didn't really "get" it when I saw it as a child.

This whole thread is choking me up. [Frown] Especially when starLisa mentioned the TNG episode. Just one of many episodes that have brought many tears to my eyes. [Frown]
 
Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :
 
Narnia, I was sniffling at the same spot in Serenity (not Mal's love speech, but the stones). When "it" happened it was just sort of blank shock . . . like, "huh? No, that can't be."

I echo Return of the King, Frodo's goodbye. The Grey Havens just kills me every single time I read the book. (followed by a teary read of "Bilbo's Last Song.") It's like I'm saying farewell to Middle Earth, too.

But I cry at sappy commercials, so really it doesn't take much for me to consider it a tearjerker!
 
Posted by Speed 2: Cruise Control (Member # 6765) on :
 
Speaking of Japanese movies, what about Grave of the Fireflies or After Life? The first of those made me cry harder, although it felt a little more manipulative. After Life, on the other hand, felt much more real, and left me not in despair so much as with a contented, cathartic release. I've got to respect a movie that opens me up emotionally in such an honest way.

Also, Harold and Maude has one of the best endings I've ever seen on film. To let an audience grieve and then turn it around at the last second from pain to joy in one move of the camera... if only all movies could end that well.

W;t, where Vivian's teacher comes to visit her in the hospital and reads her Runaway Bunny, interjecting it with literary criticism. And how she stops doing it eventually and Vivian falls asleep. I love how childlike Vivian has become as she gets close to death.

I also tear up a bit when the nurse gives her a popsicle.
 
Posted by Speed 2: Cruise Control (Member # 6765) on :
 
Oh, no. Please write the whole name of the movie, I'm begging you. Now I'm going to have to spend 15 minutes trying to figure out which of all the millions of movies that have ever been made start with "W;t". Then when I come up blank I'm going to have to meticulously re-read all the previous posts to see if it's already appeared in this thread. Then I'll have to go on Google and IMDB trying to find a movie with a character named Vivian whose teacher reads "Runaway Bunny." Please tell me what "W;t" stands for while I still have some of the day left to devote to other enterprises.

I have to agree with everyone who's said the dog episode of Futurama. I bawl like a baby every time I see the end of that.

I cry a lot. Recently it's been the end of The Corpse Bride, the part with Cedric's dad in Goblet of Fire, and the part of A Muppet Christmas Carol where the Ghost of Christmas Future shows Scrooge the Cratchett family after Tiny Tim dies.

Okay, this is really silly, but at the end of the Mummy Returns, when Imhotep's eyes are all filled with tears, that makes me so sad. I want to scoop him up and give him a hug.

I also thought the ending of Hannibal was pretty sweet.

I'm such a sucker for men of questionable moral standing.

EDIT: Okay. Maybe not just "questionable moral standing" so much as "rather evil" in these cases. But I also loved Ep III Anakin, too. Sure, he turned to the Dark Side, but he just wanted to save his wife. Awwwwww.

Some of the following qualify as *cry* while the others are just really emotional.

Braveheart had a couple of parts, though I can't pinpoint the specific scenes.

The Patriot had a small part where the little daughter finally speaks to her dad.

Schindler's List as described by SenojRetep

"You had me at hello" from Jerry Maguire

a couple of parts in The Notebook. The part Raia describes, their breakup scene earlier in the movie, and the final ending in the hospital.

Many scenes in Hotel Rwanda. Too many to describe, but the most notable was when the UN were evacuating and turning people away.

Awakenings when Robert DeNiro starts to, um, revert back to original condition.

A.I. when the mother dumps the child off.

A couple times in October Sky. Once when he is descending into the mine shaft and also when the teacher sees the rocket from the hospital.

The end of Finding Neverland.

...and many others but I don't have time to remember them right now.
 
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
 
*cries* I can't believe I forgot about Finding Neverland. I cry all the way through that one too. Well, not really, but the ending really does slay me. It starts when he comes to visit her during the opening night of his own play and they sit and talk that evening. He holds her hand, but that's all the physical contact they have...though she finally does admit to wishing there could be more between them. Then I cry all through the part where they're watching the play in the house (it's making me cry just to think about that) all the way to the end when he talks to Peter on the park bench. Darn that little boy for having such expressive and tear-filled eyes!!

My favorite line in that movie is at the end when he says "I loved your daughter very much." *sigh* It's wonderful.
