you would do?
am a cold heartless bstard usually with all the emotional response of a banker 😳 but for some reason whilst watching star trek generations (of all films 😳 the part when captain kirk died at the end,i must admit to having something in my eye 😳
in my defense this was about 14 years ago,have been a cold heartless bstard ever since 😉
the series Band of brothers would ambush me now n then.
I was begining to wonder where this thread was going with a title like that.
I know what you mean, apart from I no longer get surprised 'cos I've gone so soft I'll cry at anything. Olympics has seen Olympian sized weeping this past two weeks. Just hearing 'Caliban's Dream' on the radio, I well up. Any mention of Chris Hoy, I'm sniffing. So I daren't watch any films now in case.
But for the record; Beauty and the Beast, nanny mcphee, Hotel for Dogs....... you name it
I wasn't in a great mood when I watched it, but seriously..

I'm sorry, but Up gets me. I just wasn't expecting it! Caught me off guard and other such excuses 🙂
I always 😥 like a girl watching WallE.....EVERY time I watch it. 😳
I had a really bad bout of food poisoning or gastric nastiness once, total purge and fevers for days. As I started to recover I was in this strange dazed and emotional state watching daytime TV and [i]anything[/i] would make me cry. There was an avert for a nissan that would have me blubbing every time it came on.
I had no idea where you were going with this...but yeah, on my own watching a film that is rather emotive it has happened. Not with Star Trek though...that's really lame!!! 😆

Nnnnnnnnnnnng...
[i]"Why are you crying daddy?"[/i]
Another for Up. 🙁
Also ET - the bit where they find him in a ditch. 🙁
A sad film bit is when Lefty leaves his house at the end of Donnie Brasco.
From TV the ending of Blackadder Goes Forth.
little house on the prairie, and the toilet roll advert with the litle puppy...
Oh and for the OP, the start of the Star Trek reboot where Kirk's Dad sacrifices himself to save everyone, as his baby is being born in the escape pod.
Nnnnnnnnnng..
[img]

😳
but if anyone ever witnesses it there's a hole on the moors with their name on it...
End of the railway children when daddy gets off the train.
Bring a tear to a glass eye.
Up and toy story 3. Bullhearts dog thread got me the other day too.
End of Iron Giant......."Suuuuuupermaaaaaaaan!"
Why is it all kids cartoon and stuff that gets us and not proper people ones?
Oh, in apocolypse Now when the puppy gets killed in the battle on the river... 😥
I never care much for people characters but show me a lost dog, and I am a big bag of wet blanket...
Wall-E
Same here. I think I filled a pint pot watching 'Up'. Hubby was embarrassed as I was one of the older people in the audience.I'm sorry, but Up gets me. I just wasn't expecting it! Caught me off guard and other such excuses
Cos you haven't grown up...
"trains, planes, and automobiles" had me sobbing when I was younger - I think it was the fact he had no family for Christmas... 🙁
DrP
Leon.
GrahamS - it took papadirt and myself two attempts to watch Toy Story 3 after two of our lads left for uni 😥 . . . oh and the Warburtons 'burnt offering' ad gets me every time 😳
Why is it all kids cartoon and stuff that gets us and not proper people ones?
Dunno, but you do have a point.
Jurassic Bark. Not really unexpected as it's the most depressing thing ever written in the history of things being written, but still worth a mention.

Dead Poet's Society -' Oh Captain, My Captain'
Up and Monsters Inc!
I think Up! can be excused, crying at that film is unavoidable unless you're made of granite.
In my defence I was emo to start with for other unrelated reasons, but I bawled like a four year old girl with a grazed knee at the end of Armageddon.
The end of Monsters inc gets me too!
The end of 6th Sense got me first time round.
I took my little sister to see WallE-
her "Are you crying?", me- *sniff* "no, don't be daft lass" *sniff* 😳
And off TV, that Derek thing by Ricky Gervais gave me a right bit o something in the eye, booing like a bairn come the end.
Realman, thought I was okay with this thread and you go and post a pic of fry's dog. You git.
the end of Babe really builds and builds for me and then when farmer hogget says 'that'll do pig'
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190346/plotsummary
Seriously, I don't know wtf was going on that day. PMT or something....
Watership Down still gets me 😥
if you grew up as an F1 fan then try this:

Always. Richard Dreyfuss, John Goodman and Audrey Hepburn in her last film.
Proper sad/happy spectrum of emotions..
The end of Saving Private Ryan, where Ryan's family are around him in the cemetery......... 😥
Up really did for me, and one episode of Buffy, when she comes home and calls out 'Mum!' then 'Mum!' again, then sees her mum collapsed on the couch, and her voice starts to go a bit, 'Mum? Mum? Mummy?...' and that last quavery mummy just had me in bits.
Went and saw Brave tonight, Pixar's new one, (which is great, btw), and there's a bit towards the end of that, that had me welling up, and swallowing [i]very[/i] hard... 😥
Like other have posted, the Married Life scene in up always brings a small lump to my throat.
No idea why, but the bit at the end of *Batteries Not Included when the little toilet robot is repairing the stairwell mosaic all on his ickle lonesome....
[img] 
[/img]
silent running as a kid stuck with me.
Toy Story 3 for me too. The incinerator scene is bad, but when Andy gives his toys to the little girl...
[img] 
[/img]
[i]Into The Wild[/i] got me.
[i]Kite Runner [/i]also caught me out (in the cinema!). Watched [i]Kite Runner[/i] a second time and don't know whey i was such a baby?!
Every one of the Star Wars prequels made me weep - with INCANDESCENT RAGE at the TRAVESTY!11!1!
I also cried with despair every time Frodo appeared during the LOTR films; oh God, is he still trudging up that volcano and whining, before toppling over in over-acted slow motion, again!?

Into The Wild got me.
I was just glad it was over. God that film dragged.
Not a movie but the video for the Hurt cover By Johnny Cash gets me choked up every time.
The end of Schindler's List always - ditto The Shawshank Redemption.
Toy Story 3 got me both in the cinema and again at home. The very end of Blackadder Goes Forth as mentioned before is also a bit of a 'am I really starting to tear up over this? oh god I am' moment.
The end of AI.

You must be kidding, I wanted that sociopathic mutt dead like you wouldn't believe, along with his sickening mawkish owners.
Marley and Me,
It was just so bloody obvious the dog would die at the end to try and get a bit of emotion into a very average film.
Aside from Up, Steven Speilberg and John Williams seem to have getting me to cry at films nailed. ET, Shindler's List, Saving Private Ryan. I even wanted to cry at the end of Jurrasic Park when they were fying past the pelicans!
It was just so bloody obvious the dog would die at the end to try and get a bit of emotion into a very average film.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure the dog dies in the original book too.
Crash. bloody everything nowadays tho, think it's sommat to do with parenthood, loads of films, tv stuff too. Mind you someone reading the bloody news can cause twinges, hearing about what absolute bastards people can be to each other, didn't used to bother me much.
I haven’t seen Up. I got about 10 mins in and was crying so much I turned it off. Toy Story 3 I made the mistake of going to see just before Ted was born, so completely hormonal anyway. I nearly flooded the cinema at the start when he’s packing up to go to college because our as yet unborn baby will leave home one day. The John Lewis ad that was on that Christmas had the same effect. Pathetic!!!
Into the Wild - not sure that Flowerpower has ever forgiven me for that...
Then about a year later she went and unleashed Mary and Max!

Watership Down still gets me
It's know as The Rabbit Film in our house, as even saying the title brings on the waterworks with Mrs B
Up, Toy Story3, Batteries Not included .. I blame having children for turning me emo.
[url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113862/ ]Mr Holland's Opus[/url]. Prolly because my dad is a retired teacher...?
The champ. Cuts me to ribbons every time.
Awakenings got me. When Bob De Niro walks for the first time... 😥
When I was a kid, my parents let me stay up past my bedtime to watch The Great Escape. All I remember is hiding my face and saying "I'll go to bed now" when Donald Pleasence gets killed by them horrid Nazis.. (Apologies for spoiler).
Oh yes - recently The Lovely Bones: "On the floating, shapeless ocean..."
I haven't seen Watership Down since I went to the cinema with my Mum- it really, really upset me!
As others have said:
Up (and no I wasn;t embarrassed, I was too busy drying my own eyes)
Toy Story 3
and "Abide with me" gets me, I cannot sing it cos I choke up.
+1 for Watership Down and the ending of The Railway Children. Every f*cking time!
Dead Poet's Society -' Oh Captain, My Captain'
stop it!... sniff..
Driver had my eyes dribbling
Forest Gump. didn't see that one coming
Lost in Translation - final scene
I knew Marley and me was going to be a predictable old pile of cliched tosh before I watched it, but dammit I couldn't help get dust in my eyes when he died at the end anyway.
A film that really had me sobbing like a baby, and one which i was reminded of by the futurama episode mentioned here, is Hatchi: A dog's Tale. Owner leaves and faithful dog waits for them to return until they grow old and die.
[img] 
[/img]
The fact its based on a true story makes it all the more heart string yanking.
Oh and also another sizeable vote for Up. Can't watch it without tissues.
Love Lost-in-Translation - beautiful film
I also cried with despair every time Frodo appeared during the LOTR films
Lol! These sequences are to establish the relationship between Gollum, Sam and Frodo - they are the "empathy" sub-plot, opposing the "action" sub-plots following Aragorn's grouping and the hobbit grouping. I don't blame Tolkien, I just don't think the acting was that convincing.
Any footage of Marco Simoncelli sets me off
+1 for Up. Again. This bit got me totally by surprise...
[img] 
[/img]
+1 for Up. Definitely took me by surprise.
Also, for some reason the scene in Juno just after she's had to give the baby up. Every bloody time, it gets me.
Fortunately I only ever tend to watch films with the missus, and she sobs at everything, so I can get away with it now and then.
Kids watched Despicable Me yesterday, forgotten just how sickly sweet that is, but it brings a lump to my throat every time.
On a lighter note, anyone seen "Grave Of The Fireflies"?
Oh. My. Goodness.
[img] 
[/img]
the flying ox that film was fantastic (and extremely poignant 🙁
in my defense about star trek generations,my grandfather hadn't long died after suffering a huge stroke (he'd had about 2-3 before already in the previous few years) so that could've had something to do with it 🙁
I was going to mention 'Grave Of The Fireflies'. I love Myazaki and Studio Ghibli films, 'My Neighbour Totoro' is an all-time favourite, but after a mate gave me a brief synopsis I decided I could do without spending the whole film sobbing.
Not a movie but the video for the Hurt cover By Johnny Cash gets me choked up every time.
Oh Lordy, don't get me started on this, I just can't watch it any more, so damned poignant.
Nbt, ain't that the truth!
I haven’t seen Up. I got about 10 mins in and was crying so much I turned it off.
Mrsflash, persevere with it, once you get past that opening sequence it's just delightful, and very funny.
Best you watch it on your own, perhaps... 😥
But do give it a go, it's lovely.
Anyone else watch "The Best Of Men" last night, about the German doctor who started the paralympics?
Got really dusty in my front room during the closing credits..!
(Catch it on the iPlayer if you missed it, great programme)
Stop it, I'm welling up...
