Greatest tearjerkers of all time?
OP - March 11, 2009, 08:09 AM

I need a good cry, recommend me some emotional gut wrenching heart ripping tearjerking movies to help me out.

I watched Braveheart, but I've seen it so many times that it was gentle tears that fell down.

Films that have made me cry include:

Gladiator
Pan's labyrinth
Othello
Titanic
Rob Roy
Braveheart
In the name of our father
The prince of egypt \
lmao
The little mermaid /

AI
Troy
Crouching tiger hidden dragon
The green mile
Of mice and men
The colour purple

So recommend me something.

Inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit.

Old Yeller?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I remain.

It all depends on how "cryable" you are. The only movie that made me cry was "Pan's Labyrinth" and you watched it already.

Watch it again?

Films dont normally make me cry, but The Champ was a sad story

Usually feel-good documentaries make me well up. The Secret Millionaire is a series in the UK, where an undercover millionaire goes under the spoof of a charity worker, helps out in whatever way he can for a week, and then at the end he reveals his identity and usually hands them a cheque for ?10,000-100,000.

Brings tears to my eyes everytime!

I don't think that would make me cry in the way I want to cry, but it might make me cry in frustration that I am not getting one of those cheques.

'Ghost' is the one movie that does it for me and I'm not one to cry at movies much. Also 'Schindler's List'.

The Boy in the Stripey Pyjamas is just out on DVD, I haven't seen it but given the subject matter I would guess its a tearjerker.

People dont actually cry to films. That's bullshit.

Somehow I knew Othello would be on your list.

The saddest film I watched ever was probably gladitor. But I was too awestruck by the fights to give a shit about Old Russells fam biggle.

I guess it really depends on what makes you cry.

Milk
Million Dollar Baby
Magnolia
About Schmidt
The Secret Life of Bees
Titanic

Also agree with Schindler's List.

Mine:

1) Bambi the scene where Bambi's mother dies.
2) Roman Holiday where Gregory Peck leaves, I sooo love Audrey Hepburn, she has an inner aura of sorts...
3) Dumbo where the little elephant Dumbo goes to visit his mom where she's locked up, & they show all the baby animals with their moms, but its so poignant ,Dumbo's mom can't be with him.
4) E.T. where E.T. finally left for his planet.

Many Hindi movies & a Bengali movie called Pather Panchali, A_G who doesn't seem to visit us anymore had a scene from Pather Panchali as his avatar. I don't think anyone else has here has seen it though.

Movie scenes that still choke you up
Reply #23 - September 27, 2009, 04:33 PM

I musta seen this movie (Glory) a dozen times, and yet I still get a big ole lump in my throat during this scene, when the guy says "Give 'Em Hell, 54th!":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2c_BvVBd-Q&feature=related

The final battle scene right after the previous one posted also still gives me chills (you may not want to watch this if you haven't seen the whole movie or don't know the history of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment and their assault on Fort Wagner):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnM97ZvwDis&feature=related

So give it up...whatcha got for lump-in-throat-inducing (or tear-jerker) movie scenes? Post them here.

I'm not as much of a movie buff as many people are on this forum, but I do recall the scene from I am Legend where Will Smith pulls the pin on the grenade to save his daughter.

Also "Rocket Science" the entire movie makes me want to weep openly.

I'm a manly man-I rarely cry-things without souls find it difficult to cry

But I must admit that movies often bring tears to my eyes

The Kite Runner was one such movie-from start to end really.

A few others I can't remember right now.
