Movies That Always Make You Cry

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

So, I'm watchin' Forrest Gump for about the 1000 time, and sure enough right on schedule when Forrest is talking to Jenny at the end of the film and starts crying and says "I miss you Jenny", like clockwork I tear up.

Every. Damn. Time.

So it got me thinking, it's one thing when a movie can make you cry. But, it's totally different when you know it's coming and it still makes you cry.

So what does it for you guys?

[Rube]

Requiem for a Dream f***ing destroys me every time.

[Disaster Report]

Forrest Gump gets me multiple times.

But the all time king is Dancer in the Dark. Nothing outside of deaths in my personal life have topped this.

[Alex Shelley]

I Am Sam.

[Cela]

Parasite Eve, it hits out of nowhere and is embarrassing every single time.

[Larryhausen]

Angus.

When his grandfather dies. Gets me every single time.


Also, over the past five or so years, every time I watch A Muppet Family Christmas, I'm fighting back tears.

[Bake Or Die]

Never Let Me Go

[kidtamagotchi]

Grave of The Fireflies just destroys me every time I watch it. It's my favorite anime movie.

[kidglov3s]

Stella Dallas, yo. When Stella is asked not to join her daughter and husband at Christmas, when none of her daughters friends are allowed to attend her birthday party, when her daughter talks about what an embarrassment she is on the train, when she tells Helen Morrison (her now ex-husband's first love and current wife) to take her daughter as her own, and when she watches her daughter get married from the street in the rain through a window. Such a wonderfully sad sad sad movie.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

That part on Toy Story 2 where Jessie tells Woody about Emily always makes me feel a bit sad.

[Bravo Echo November]

*Hands over his Man Card*

The ending of Titanic always gets me.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Here is Rose, a sweet old woman who survived one of the biggest tragedies at sea and in the process lost Jack, the love of her life. Having told her story she concludes it with:

"...but now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me... in every way that a person can be saved. I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now... only in my memory."

That last line always chokes me up in how depressing it is, but it doesn't stop there. It later shows her in bed and, with Horner's emotional score as background noise, shows that she did continue to live her life just like Jack requested her to. And in doing what Jack says, she dies an old lady warm in her bed.

We then submerge back into the ocean and see the remains of the once majestic ship, but as we go through the hallway it starts to rebuild right before our very eyes as we (through Rose's perspective) re-enter the great hall. She enters through the doors and find everybody who perished in the tragedy watching her, as if welcoming her back, back to where she belongs. We see Mr. Andrews at the foot of the steps but at the top of the steps awaits Jack. Waiting for her to rejoin him, and as the now young Rose takes his hand and kisses him the entire crowds erupts in applause as we pan up to the ceiling that fades to white. Assumingly welcoming us to the afterlife.

So emotional and powerful.

It didn't exactly jerk tears for me, but Brokeback Mountain was still a kick in the stomach even after all of the hype and endless parodies.

[Sir Woodrow]

E.T

[Back to being Cenanuff]

Up, when Carl finds the other pages in Ellie's Adventure Book.

[Alexander The So-so]

Ikiru, Ikiru, a thousand times Ikiru.



Just watching that scene, when you know the context in the story, is enough to make me start blubbering as I'm typing this.

A Walk To Remember

[Urethra Franklin]

I have a really close relationship with my parents, so anything with mother/father-son themes normally gets me. Big Fish and Field of Dreams always tug at the ol' heartstrings, but for me, the killer is one particular scene in Saving Private Ryan.

The guys are all spending the night in a church and they're talking about their lives back home and Giovanni Ribisi starts talking about how his mom used to work nights and would try to come home early just to spend a little bit of time with her son and he would pretend to be asleep to avoid talking to her and how he wishes he could have all that time back. It's pretty heartbreaking.

Clerks 2:

{Spoiler}jail scene.

Randal letting his guard down long enough to tell Dante "You're my best friend, and I love you. Please dont leave me"

As someone who had their best friend move 3000 miles away, rewatching that scene gets to me
