villarule123 Posted April 3, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 3, 2013 A few of you have said Shawshank. It's a while since I've seen it but what part is even remotely tear-jerking in that movie? I can't recall one :? The very end of the film when they embrace, that's what got me! So simple yet effective 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I forgot Band of Brothers. Many of the interviews they added in were very emotional, but I kept my cool. Until the very end, of course- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall one :? The very end of the film when they embrace, that's what got me! So simple yet effective I'm assuming that's the scene that everyone is referring to. The power of friendship and all. The fact that they were both free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) I find it very hard to cry at all (break ups and funerals mainly), and genuinely don't think I have ever cried at a film.. The missis is different, will go at a lot. She cried during Ted, the scene at the stadium Edited April 3, 2013 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I find it very hard to cry at all (break ups and funerals mainly), and genuinely don't think I have ever cried at a film.. The missis is different, will go at a lot. She cried during Ted, the scene at the stadium I cried during Ted. The scene where they have to clear up after the hooker. I think it might have been different sort of tears though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted April 3, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 3, 2013 Agree with The Green Mile. That was hardcore when John Coffey gets zapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 What others have said Forrest Gump at thingies grave Up - that opening segment first time around Life is Beautiful at the end The Green Mile I think Lion King first time round probably upset me when i was obviously much younger. all criers first time - or welling up at least.

Houlston Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 The end of Saving Private Ryan got me, the old guy staring at the graves. I'd previously been to that particular memorial site & was with my grandad and the look on his face was very similar to that of the old guy in the film. Was fairly hard to hold back the tears. 50/50 was close, watching it with my friends, laughing along and then that bit happened and it just went really silent in the room, till someone said something like "woah that was tough/intense" think we we're all feeling the same especially as one of the lads dads had dies of it a few years back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Forrest Gumps sad bit is when she tells him it's his son and he asks if he's smart. Green Mile had me when I was a 14 year old lad, i was sat in my parents living room on my own and watched it when ITV digital was on, balled my eyes out! A few movies get a lump in my throat or a tear in my eye, but I can't remember which ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 The closest I've come to cry watching a movie was when I watched Forrest Gump, when he stands in front of Jenny's grave and talks to her. yeah that's a kicker im with you on that one the end of Man on Fire is heart wrenching aswell but the only film to make me shed one is Return to Paradise starring Joaquin Phoenix and Vince Vaughn it probably was because i was quite young but the ending of that film really affected me at the time ive seen it since and it still hits me hard!

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I never felt so cheated when watching a film than I felt when watching Saving Private Ryan. You could see the machine ticking along - wince here, laugh here, cry here, here is some John Williams music to help in case you are too thick to figure it out. Horrid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I cried when the procession of emperor penguins lead Danny DeVito's body into his watery grave at the end of Batman Returns. The penguins just looked... so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_eristic Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The scene where Mercedes starts humming the lullaby at the end of Pan's Labyrinth, and in GDT's earlier film, The Devil's Backbone, the Doctor's soliloquy both get me every time. Also, pretty much the entirety of The Wrestler. Stuff like Hotel Rwanda, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and such always upset me because of the utter incomprehensibility of the human capacity for inhumanity, while on the other side of the coin, 8 1/2 always makes me cry from the sheer joy and beauty of it. You should've seen the looks I got from my friends and family the first time I made them watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 50/50 got me. Eight Below as well...cannae handle a movie where animals die. Myself and the girl friend are always going to cinema and I've never cried but when Darlan (race horse owned by JP McManus ) died there a few months back I was watery eyed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
