    My husband cried twice during the movie Up. The part when he opens her adventure book and its all pictures of them growing old together really got him. My husband hates to admit it, but he can be a real softie. :blushing:

    Hmmm...

    The Patriot - Esp. when the little girl cries after her "poppa"... #sniffle
    Star Trek 2 - To this day, I can't hear Amazing Grace on the bagpipes...
    Up! - First 15 minutes or so...
    Brian's Song - yeah.

    Haven't seen Marley & Me. Titanic didn't do it for me, tho.

    Yeah The Patriot - when the little girl cries after her "poppa"
    I think Brians Song got me bad, a lot of people don't remember that one or are too young.

    I forgot to add United 93. We really enjoyed the movie, it was very moving but I am certain my husband and I will never be able to watch it again. Too painful.

    My hubby always cries when he watches E.T. so much so if we see it on TV we have to skip past it. He also cried when we saw The Notebook together, we had only been dating about a month so that was the first time I saw him cry.

    My dad cried as Old Yellar, Where the Red Fern Grows, and Bambi. Obviously he is a sucker for animal movies.

    I cry at anything and everything but I probably cried the hardest during Steel Magnolias, Titanic, Marley and Me and Life is Beautiful, such sadness :(

    I've only read a few pages of the thread, but I'm pretty sure that this one hasn't been mentioned: Dogma. It's mostly a comedy, so most of the time I'm laughing. But, at the end (spoiler alert) when Bartleby (who has been trying for the whole movie to foil god's will) sees god and emotionally apologizes to her, I get choked up every time.

    -K

    P.S. Let's add the end of A League of their Own to that. I suppose it speaks to my fear of growing old, but seeing the old women playing baseball on a field with "this used to be my playground" in the background gets me every time.

    I'm not ashamed to say Hotel Rwanda made me (and several others) literally wail out loud in the movie theater.

Terminator 2, the bit at the end when arnies being lowered into the molten metal....the music's going...."doey deee do do do, doey deee do do DO di" and he's crying and the Conner boy is crying....doey deee, do do doooo....and then just his hand is left....and it gives one last wave....SOB :sad:

    It used to be only certain things in movies made me cry. As I get older I find myself getting emotional over silly things. For instance, before I would only cry when a beloved character died, or seeing someone else in agonizing greif. My favorite movie is The Other Sister, and there's 2 parts that make me cry: the part where Daniel cries about his bad grades and the part where he and Carla fight. However, a few days ago I watched Sister Act 2, and the part where Wesley "Ahmal" hits that high note and shocks everyone I teared up :laugh: now I feel like an old lady. Also, the movie We Were Soldiers makes my boyfriend cry - and he's about as manly as you can get!

    Edited to say: I also cry during Hope Floats when that poor baby chases after her daddy and the movie Mystic Pizza when the one sister realizes the man she babysits for is playing her when his wife returns - and she's crying to Julia Roberts about how stupid and unloved she feels :sad:

    I Am Legend..... when his dog died. I nearly left the theater. The movie was over for me at that point.

    Apollo 13 chokes me up every time.

    Also, I took my kid to see " A Bridge to Tarabithia". I knew nothing about it, and I welled up for about 10 minutes when that thing happens.

    I heard my hubby snuffling near the end of Marley and Me. I actually could NOT watch the ending, I had to leave the room. I have yet to watch it. I am so emotional when it comes to sad movies.

    I got choked up and teary-eyed at Marley & Me.... and then promptly jumped my wife's @ss for taking me to a movie where she knew in advance the dog was going to die. Seriously, who wants to go see a movie where the best friend dies?!?!??!?!
  • Lots of European films are deeply moving. I remember recently Of Gods and Men was really powerful. One Polish film "Korczack" about a men who tried to save children in the Holocaust. American films?…. Saving Private Ryan, only the end...

    'Simon Birch', and I have no idea why. I was actually on a date and pretended to have a stomach ache so I could sneak off and collect myself.

    I'm not a guy, but I'm going to list mine anyways...The War with Elijah Wood and Kevin Costner makes me cry like no other movie. I can't watch The Land Before Time by myself because of the part where Little Foot runs up to the cliff and licks it because he thinks his shadow is his mom.

    Hachi a Dog's Tate with Richard Gere - OMG! So glad I was not out in public when I saw this. It's not about a dying dog (Marley & Me) - It's different.

    Taking Chance with Kevin Bacon - very moving.

    im a chick and not much makes me cry (unless its with animals) but i couldn't even watch the trailer for that movie without bawling.
