First time I ever saw Blazing Saddles the campfire scene brought tears to my eyes. Shoulders shaking, struggling to breathe. Funniest thing I think I had seen in a film up to that point.

Marley & Me ending. The book did the same. I don't think anything else has really hit the spot in the same way!

real men dont have emotions, the only things they're allowed to express emotions about are powertools, cars and guns. thats a medical fact.

I was taken to see watership down was I was about 5. The bit where the little rabbit tries to follow the ghost one over the hills to the tune of "bright eyes" broke my heart. Still can't listen to the blinkin song without filling up.

oh and awakenings that film makes me sad.

Two that spring to mind are;

The "its not your fault" scene in Good Will Hunting.

and the end scene in Thema & Louise.

Definitely the start of "Up" as my GF is called Ellie.

Quite embarrassing crying on a transatlantic flight while watching a cartoon.

The start of Saving Private Ryan and the battle scene footage in Band of Brothers as it gives you an idea what people went through when bullets were flying during ww2... Cinema Paradiso and *cough* ET ...

Haven't watched Dead Poet's Society since my friend Iain died when I was 19...I know I'll be all over the place if I watch that.

The scene in Saving Private Ryan where the staff car with the Padre and the Officer in drive up to the house to tell Mrs. Ryan that three of her sons are dead...that gets me every time. Possibly because I see something of my own mother in that scene...

Wunundred!

The bit in East is East, where the dad is beating up the mum. Bit too close to real life for me, that scene.

The opening of saving private ryan. I can never imagine having to go through, ultimately if that makes me a coward, I'm not afraid to admit it. Huge respect for them and for the representation by the film.

The end of Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang

'Come back Nanny, we need you........ no, we don't'

How many wives, mothers, and children in the course of the last 100 years have waited for Daddy to come home, and instead just got a telegram.

I got a bit tearful at something recently, can't remember what the hell it was... Field of Dreams, that's it. The bit where he is re-united with his dead dad and throws ball. And I felt like a fool for being manipulated so easily.

The Fountain

And SkyLine - but that was because I could never get that time back.

Birdy - now that's a film I haven't seen in a long time. A very touching and thoughtful film. I kept it on VHS for a while because i thought it described me in a way. Then I got older. Good film for TSY's shyness thread.

Incinerater scene in Toy Story 3
Lantern scene in Tangled
Home Alone in the church when the choir is singing O Holy Night

I'd say there's a point in most disney/kids films that get me going. We should be asking why exactly they're so bloody traumatic for adults to watch. The christmas episode of peppa pig even had me going.

I've never actually cried, but I am a wuss and have been close many times.

The final scene of Blackadder goes forth is one of them.

It's A Wonderful Life - the last 5 minutes always gets me.

And the montage in Up - I was crying into my chips watching that.
MmMmmm salty.

+1 for "That'll do pig".

[i]"I would rather be a ghost drifting by your side as a condemned soul than enter heaven without you."[/i]

Holy fug, Li Mu Bai's farewell scene in [i]Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon[/i] simply demolished me - although that's largely because I fancy Michelle Yeoh.

The scene in Casablanca where the Nazis are singing Die Wacht am Rhein in Rick's Cafe and Victor Lazslo gets the band to play La Marseillaise -everyone in the cafe joins in and drown out the krauts.

The scene in Manhattan when Woody Allen tells Mariel Hemingway he's breaking up with her always has me in bits. Those of you who liked Lost in Translation should watch Manhattan, btw.

When Ricky gets shot in Boys In The Hood, and the end of Withnail and I. Maybe The Wrestler too.

The end of It's A Wonderful Life

Various parts of Human Centipede also bought tears to my eyes.....

I'm a typical bloke, choking on the lump in my throat whilst pretending to be all manly.....yeah right

Films that have me choking up.......

1. Hunchback of Notre Dam (scene where HB is being dragged through the streets)

2. The heart rending basic no holds barred hand to hand fight scene in Saving Private Ryan where the german soldier puts a knife through the US soldiers chest whilst whispering/shooshing. I can't watch the film anymore because of that scene.....daft i know.

3. The English Patient had me and mrs BB blubbing.

Awakenings when De Niro's character relapses.

Also, there are to parts of The Bridges of Madison County which get me a bit choked - when Clint is standing in the rain willing her to get out of her husband's pick up and when her husband is dying and tells her he knew she had her own dreams which went unfulfilled.

Not exactly "cry", but when I went to see "Dead Man Walking", the entire audience sat in their seats at the end of the movie and didn't begin to stir until the credits had finished...

Some good ones on here so far.

The end of the Elephant Man (partly because it actually happened)
Several times in Brassed Off (the music definitely adds to the emotion - who'd have thought that of brass band music?!)
Beginning of Up (it's a cartoon, so how do they make you feel so sad?!)

As a couple of others say, the older I get, the softer I get!

End of the Railway Children.

End of Pan's Labyrinth.

Most of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
In fact, Schindler's List, Sophie's Choice, Life is Beautiful, The Pianist, pretty much anything to do with the Holocaust upsets me.

Marley & me - the scene where they come back from the hospital after they've had their first scan and Marley puts his head in her lap and then the bit where Owen wilson rings her from the vets and basically says its the end of the road. God it just made me cry again!

I thinks that's the only film I've ever cried at actually.

Crash - when the daughter runs out to protect her dad with the 'magic cloak' and the gun goes off. Kills me every time.

Found that scene the most disturbing in the whole film. Saw it in the cinema when it first came out - and didn't watch it again until early this year because of that chilling scene
