What movies have made you completely CRY YOUR EYES OUT? Let me know your top 5..5 being the fifth hardest you've cried..and 1 being the absolute most, hardest, time you've ever cried during a movie. Here are my top 5:
5)Glory- wow..that movie is one of the best..I cried and cried and cried at the end of the movie when one of the characters says "I'm ready Curnal" and he gets killed!! ahhh!
4) Titanic- I saw that movie when I was seven, and I balled sooo incredibly much at the end and the whole care ride home. When I got home, I just started to calm down, when my sister turned on the radio and "My Heart Will Go On" came on!!
3) Lord of the Rings:The Return of the King- Those movies were one of the best I've seen in a LONG TIME! I came really attached to those movies, and to see it come to an end..made me ball.
2) The Outsiders- The whole movie showed you how tough kids can have it. The closeness between the members of the Greasers, was just so close and wonderful that you had to love all the characters. Not to mention, when Johnny dies, how he says "stay gold" makes me sooo sad! And then my favorite character...Dallas Winston, gets killed, I just lost it!! It was sooo sad!! Plus, Dally Winston was very good lookin..jeez, all the cuties die!!
1)LAST OF THE MOHICANS- never in my life have I cried soooo bad! Uncas, the cutest thing ever..dies trying to save the woman he loves (balling already). Then, if that wasn't enough, Alice, so upset that she lost him, kills herself..which made me cry soooo horribly bad, I though I'd have to see a conselor!! lol. |

I'm with Christina on this one: Fried Green Tomatoes. I've watched this movie over and over and STILL cry every time the train comes.
The other one is Lonesome Dove...several cry places in that. I can't remember if it's Lonesome Dove or Return to Lonesome Dove when they are crossing that river and the water mocassins get that young guy...oooo that really got me.
Not sure I have a list of 5 but those are the top two anyway.

Too many to list, but here are five that do it to me every time:
1) West Side Story, when Maria sings "Somewhere"
2) Casablanca, when Rick and Ilsa say good-bye
3) It's A Wonderful Life (but those are happy tears)
4) Brian's Song, as Brian Piccolo lays dying
5) The Best Years of Our Lives, the wedding scene |

This by the way is the correct quote from Charlie Brown from "Snoopy Come Home. Somebody liked it so much they posted it to a quote website. Probably another reason it makes me dissolve (beside just being Snoopy and being sad) is about 85% of the people I care most about in the world live more than a half day's drive from me.
Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just
stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always
leaves and then we have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I
need more hellos. --Charlie Brown |

Here are mine:
5. "The Color Purple" where Miss Celie is reunited with her children. When I see that scene where those kids are coming across the field to meet her, forget it. Hand me a box of Kleenex and leave me alone. Add to this No. 5 any movie at all "Bambi," "Old Yeller," etc where an animal dies.
4. "Fried Green Tomatoes." There are bawlin' moments all through this flick for me, from the time the kid loses his arm to the train up to the death of the one woman from cancer.
3. "The Patriot" and "Braveheart" a tie. Braveheart I just bawled throughout the whole thing at different times, and "The Patriot," when the little girl is mad at her dad for leaving and won't talk to him, and then changes her mind and goes running up to Mel Gibson at the last minute as he's leaving. Again, dripping hankie time.
2. "Dances With Wolves" I know people had a lot of mixed reactions to this one but it dissolved me to tears at least eight times when it first came out on TV. I'm sorry, just the treatment dealt out to the Native Americans...I couldn't handle it.
1. A tie, and you're going to probably laugh. "Field of Dreams." When Kevin Costner meets up with his dad and asks "Want to have a catch?" or whatever. I love baseball, baseball movies, and my dad. And I'm a daddy's girl and when I was little we used to go out and play catch in the back yard. And my dad told me once how he used to do that with HIS dad, so this idea of baseball,children and dads just makes me dissolve. And the biggest one of all..."Snoopy Come Home." Don't laugh. I love Peanuts anyway, but this story of Snoopy possibly leaving Charlie Brown to run back to his original owner, Lila, who is ill, just causes me break down every time I see it. There's a terrible sad song and then this scene where Charlie Brown goes out to the empty doghouse and sees it and leans against it and says, "Life is full of too many goodbyes. I need more hellos."
There are several movies: "Philadelphia," "Amistad," "Saving Private Ryan," "Schindler's List," "Green Mile" "Passion of the Christ," which have affected me so much they've left me UNABLE to cry. |

1)The Passion of Christ-- I cried my eyes out..starting from the part when Jesus was whipped until they drove the nails into his palms and feet..never cried so much in my life
i tear when i watch LOTM...when uncas dashes up the cliffs to save alice at the last scene..all the way until the part when they show their bodies..
I think i cried at Pretty Woman.
And Mr Holland Opus...the part when he sang and signed the song for his deaf son. |

I have not yet seen "The Passion of the Christ", but I'm sure that will be #1 on my list when I finally do.
Right now, #1 on my list is "Schindler's List." That was another one I could not bear to go and see in a theater. I rented the videos and watched it alone in my own home. I cried with deep, heart-wrenching sobs, and was emotionally drained by the end.
#2. Not too long ago, I watched "Paradise Road" on TV and cried pretty hard. I've talked about this one in another thread. It's the true story of English and Dutch women who were held in a Japanese prison camp in the jungle of Sumatra, during World War II. While there, trying to keep their sanity and stay alive, Glenn Close's character forms the women into a "vocal orchestra." Excellent, excellent movie.
#3. As for "happy" cries... the recent remake of "Seabiscuit" did it!
Oh, gosh... so many others that I cannot think of right now.
As a teen, I saw a 60s version of "The Phantom of the Opera" and sat in my seat sobbing at the end when the Phantom fell to his death onto the stage. Rather surprised myself!
As a child, the aforementioned "Old Yeller" did it for me. |

Again, I'm like Cheri - I cry WHENEVER!! Yes, Rich - 'Bambi' DOES count!! Whaaaa!!! 'Old Yeller' had me in tears as a child - think that was the first movie I ever saw, that made me cry! But I'll cry at just about anything that hints at 'sad'...
I can't think of most of my favourites, but these are some of the ones that REALLY HAD ME GOING though:
5) 'Imitation of Life' - Like you, Rydergirl, I found this movie unbearably sad at the end!!! (Seen it happen in real life too, which is even sadder!!)
4) 'A Night to Remember' - Oh, Donna, I agree with you!!! If this doesn't make you cry, what would????
3) 'Eric' - story about a guy's fight with cancer and how to die with dignity and grace. DARN IT, I wept through nearly the whole darn thing!
2) 'Tale of Two Cities' - How, during the French Revolution, that WONDERFUL Sidney Carton (Dirk Bogarde)trades places with the REAL aristocrat, Evremonde, (who is married to the woman he loves) and goes to the Guillotine for him, so that the woman he loves will have a happy, fulfilled life with the man SHE loves!! Ahhhhh.... "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known." Daaammmmittt, that's just BEAUTIFUL!!!
There was a 'tie' for 2nd Place... it's SO HARD TO DECIDE!!!
2) 'The Green Mile' - Well... need I say ANYTHING????? I CRIED and I CRIED, and every time I watch it, I CRY SOME MORE!!!
1) 'Braveheart' - strange choice from a Scot??? This didn't just make me cry - I SOBBED LIKE A BABY!!!! I HID BEHIND MY COAT through the 'hung, drawn and quartered' stuff - and sobbed very quietly - but persistently! When I bought the DVD, I hid behind a cushion and WEPT LONG AND LOUD - AND COPIOUSLY!!! DAMN THAT LONGSHANKS TO HELLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! Ooops... sorry... 
I know I've cried at many other 'memorable' movies - just can't think off-hand what they were... |

One that pops into my mind at the moment is "Phenomenon"...sigh....
But I cry at just about all sappy moments, so can't give you just "5". LOL |

Hmmm ...
Yes, "The Passion of the Christ," maybe more than any other!
Others that evoke emotion [being a manly man, I cannot say "cry"!  ] in me ... NO! I can say it!!!! Others that make me cry ... are ... "Gladiator," "Braveheart," "Meet Joe Black," and "Lonesome Dove."
Oh, and "Bambi," too!!!! Just kidding ... |

I thought about this long and hard. Here goes:
#5 - "An Officer and A Gentleman," when Gere's character goes to the factory dressed in his all whites, picks up the girl, Debra Winger, and then carries her out and away to the tune of "Lord Lift Us Up."
#4 - "Ghost," at the end when Swayze prepares to go into "the light" and he's telling Demi Moore that he loves her and good bye. That scene is known as tissue grabbing time.
#3 - "The Color Purple," when Miss Celie, her sister and her children are reunited after so many years.
#2 - "Imitation of Life," (1959) as the funeral procession is preparing to leave, the housekeeper's daughter who has disowned her mother because she is black, comes tearing through the crowd crying "Mama, Mama, I love you; please don't leave me." Only it's too little too late, has always been a heart-wretching scene.
#1 - "The Passion of Christ" Needs no explanation. |

This is a good topic. Movies that have made you cry. You've got a good
list so far. Here's some that I can think of. Thinking way back on some.
1. Brian's Song - In 1971, Billy Dee Williams (The Empire Strikes Back) and James Caan (The Godfather) starred in the made-for-television movie Brian’s Song. Based on the autobiography of ex-Chicago Bears football star Gale Sayers, it told the tale of the bond forged between him and his team-mate Brian Piccolo. Brian’s Song went on to receive enormous praise and won five Emmys.
I remember James Caan in the hospital bed barely able to talk.
I couldn't help but cry.
2. A night to remember - An older version of the Titanic story.
A teenage son decides to stay with his father (Clifton Web)
and go down with the ship. They were so brave.
3. Somewhere in Time - After Richard (Christopher Reeve) returns to
the present and lets himself die.
4. Old Yeller - Everyone had to cry when old yeller was shot.
5. West Side Story - At the end when Maria is holding Tony after he's
been shot. She sings to him. Made me cry.....
6. The Green Berets (1968) At the end of the movie when the little
boy is looking for Jim Hutton, going from helicopter to another.
Jim Hutton's character got killed by a trap with spikes.
I'm sure I could think of some more, but not tonight.
