Movies almost never make me cry. That's probably because I tried so hard not to because I thought I had to be manly - at the age of six . I think I am starting to come out of my shell though. Oddly enough, the first movie to make me cry since then was the Saikano live action movie, which wasn't even that memorable.

Latest: The Hours

Someone already mentioned it, but Schindlers List at a few different parts.

When I was young I would get very upset and cry at the end of Easy Rider.  As I grew older, the ending got happier and happier.  Now, I don't think the end is sad at all.

I mean, you could argue that King Lear ends with a light, uplifting, cheery twist ... but Easy Rider?

I can't even answer the question, because I don't really register it if I cry at a movie most of the time. I remember that it was sad, but whether or not I cried, I just don't relly remember most of the time. The exception is Schindler's List: I specifically recall not crying at all for the whole three hours -- it was just too tense somehow -- until the last scene at the memorial to Schindler, with all the survivers and their descendents. The same exact thing happened the second time I saw the film.

One movie that always makes me cry is Danny Boyle's Millions. That movie is so awesome.

The new Will Smith movie Seven Pounds had me crying the whole way through. I just love a sad movie and this one is bringing tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

Off the top of my head...

reality bites
homeroom (everytime)
the other sister
wild tigers I have known (just a little glassy eyed at the end)

My all time Fav is "My First Mister" with Leelee Sobieski.

I cry every time i see it.

Steph

Pan's Labyrinth

Steel Magnolias

Same here, every time I watch it.

I just can't believe that I didn't mention my favorite movie of all times..What Dreams May Come.  You will definitely need five or six boxes of kleenex to watch that one! 


tink

the champ.

Okay, it's not really a movie, but I watched "Beautiful Daughters" a while ago when I guess you could say I was at a tipping point in my transition. I went through literally half a box of tissues. I never saw it before because, well, I'm like that. I mean to watch things for years and never do. Kind of dumb, I know.    It's the most positive and real media portrayal of transsexual women I've ever seen, and I was amazed how much hope it gave me.

What Dreams May Come (I'd totally forgotten that one!  So beautiful)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Nobody Knows (Japanese film...SO SAD!!!)
The Wind That Shakes the Barley (Cillian Murphy...again, so sad)

Quote from: Jaimey on March 27, 2009, 10:47:24 PMThe Thin Red Line

That's such a beautiful movie. I think of it, in an odd way, as American Beauty, the Guadalcanal version. (Or perhaps it's the other way around.) It got trampled by Private Ryan, which is sad, because it's such a different movie. Thin Red Line and American Beauty are, to me, about the beauty of life despite or even because of the ugliness. There's something of Milan Kundera in them both. (Either that or I was just rereading Unbearable Lightness again....)

Anyway, I just loved Thin Red Line. I wasn't so much moved to tears as moved beyond tears.

Loads, but the most shameful of all was "Ayat Ayat Cinta" (Verses of Love). My wife and her family were killing themselves laughing  and taking the p*ss out of the film but it made me cry!

I like the '64 version of TRL, shot in B&W it's a lot starker than the remake.
