mrsconsequence is an absolute rock when watching films, closest i've seen her come to crying was in toy story 3... what scenes cause you to end up with some dust in your eye? 🙂
toy story 3 for me every time - once when they nearly get incinerated and again at the end.
LOTR when they light the beacons of Gondor to summon aid.
and
never mind, I'm just a big softy.
I will never watch Marley & Me again
I was deeply traumatised when Boba Fett fell into the Great Pit of Carkoon in RotJ.
Watership Down.....those poor bunnies 🙁
When Harry has to leave the Hendersons.
From 'Bigfoot & the Hendersons'
Up, lately.
Billy Bibbet in the Cuckoo's Nest
i'm a massive softy... scene on the bench at the end of finding neverland hit me like a ton of bricks.
The Texas Chain Massacre always brings a tear to my eye 🙁
The last scene of Withnail makes me cry. I think its because the whole film is so laugh-out-loud funny, that you don't expect it to finish on such a powerful and emotional note.
I think I watched it a few times before i really 'got' the final scene
The opening sequence of Up, another Pixar classic.
Also the bit in Edward Scissorhands when they banish him from the street.
ps. I also cried once at an episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air so I may be slightly over-sensitive.
Anything with Herbie in it; a VW Beetle with a mind of its own is a scary concept...
E.T. when he's all sick and white and looking likely to croak. Then the final scene when he buggers off.
Gets me every time.
The missus had never seen E.T. until a few years back when I played it to her for the first time and I knew those scenes were coming up I tried to man up but couldn't - she didn't get it. I think she's thought less of me ever since.
Another one for Up here, first 5 minutes.
Sister Act 2 FFS! 😳
+ 1 for Up, Toy story 3 and Marley & me. The scene in Green mile where they let Coffey watch the Fred Astaire film gets me every time as well. Basically, I'm a great big soft lass. 😀
toy story 3 for me every time - once when they nearly get incinerated and again at the end.
Gets me every time too.
The end of Armageddon when Big Bruce rides the lightning has me welling up also.
The end of 'the killing fields' when they are reunited
like.a.baby.
The first film I remember giving me a lump in the throat was a couple of scenes in Planes, Trains & Automobiles with Steve Martin & John Candy...
The last scenes in 'Dancer in the Dark' (the one with Bjork in it).
No I am not usually into watching stuff like that. But it did make me bawl my eyes out.
Marley and Me was a bloody awful film but you can't help but cry at the end.
Field of Dreams always gets me, once when the Doc crosses off the pitch and then can't go back and again at the end when Costner plays catch with his dad.
end of field of dreams
beginning of up
couple of parts of the notebook
in fact i'm a sucker for love so any overly romantic scene makes my eyes water a little
Up, Marley and Me, The Town... lot's of others, I'm an emotionally repressed big softie, any movie that has 'father issues' of some sort tends to break my heart also...
The Veteran's words at the end of Band of Brothers is powerful.
Sister Act 2
Yeah but that scene in Sisters Act Too! Well, that brought a tear to my eye as well!
Which one Charlie M? it matters!
The end of Stand By Me when you hear what happened to River Phoenix's character
In one of the Pink Panther films, Dreyfuss is mental and is holed up in Switzerland with some sort of Death Ray thing. Clouseau, master of disguise, disguises himself as a dentist to deal with the evil mentalist's toothache and capture him. Something goes wrong with a bottle of laughing gas. At that point tears are streaming out my eyes and it all gets a bit hazy.
"The Veteran's words at the end of Band of Brothers is powerful. "
That reminds me, the end of Saving Private Ryan when the Old Man Ryan is in the cemetery and says to his wife 'Tell me i'm a good man...'
I'm in bits at this point every time.
I think i cry at too many films actually thinking about it.....
Terms of Endearment, Debra Winger's deathbed scene.
Betty Blue, when Jean Hughes Anglade smothers her.
I think i cry at too many films actually thinking about it.....
i've been caught out by adverts for cancer charities, tv shows and most films that even a hormonal teenage girl going through a messy break up from her first love wouldn't cry at.
means we release that emotion thus making us more awesome when real life gets tricky 😀
The last scene in The Notebook got me. The Mrs wanted to watch it and I only agreed to it because of Rachel McAdams but now i'll never watch it again because of the last scene.
The ending of the Shawshank redemption when they are reunited.
But also about 53 minutes into the crying game, brings a wee tear to my eyes at the thought.
Hachi
Marley and Me
8 Below
Anyone notice a theme?
When the Mafia crush and throw those beautiful cars off the mountain in the Italian Job
always brings a tear 🙂
yossarian - MemberThe end of 'the killing fields' when they are reunited
like.a.baby.
Cheers, saves me having to watch it now. 😉
Generally cry at Van Damme or Steven Seagal films.
I always know when Mrs Mitch (and before anyone accuses me of gross sexism, I've checked and believe this is the currently accepted 'PC' term) has an egg on the way, due to the amount of tears shed at seemingly innocuous adverts on the telly. I believe I've caught her blubbering at one of them injury lawyers for you adverts - class! 😀
At the end of "The Sixth Sense". Gets me everytime.
B'mitch - wouldn't you cry if you fell and seriously injured your fringe?

This scene per chance?
When I saw that I think somebody must have been cutting onions nearby or something.
Hehe. Batteries Not Included - the bit at the end when the baby robo-alien is stamping down mosaic tiles into the remains of the building, trying to spruce the place up a bit.

It's not about the destination - it's about the journey[/collective]
Phil - she's got a bit of a Betty Page thing going on there. Well, probably what Betty Page would look like now. Eek!
The scene in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly when his father phones the hospital to speak to him 😥
retro83... damn you i've got something in my eyes... must be hayfever or something as my nose is running a bit too.
While I didn't quite break into tears, Mr Holland's Opus got me all emotional.
Another mention for "Dancer in the dark".
good will hunting.....
Which one Charlie M? it matters!
That one with the pipefitter and the washing machine and erm... when he does his job, in places he shouldn't really.
Final scene in Man on Fire.
blade runner "rutgers andriod death scene"
up, several times,(what were they thinking,i thought it was a cartoon!!)
the road.
saving private ryan.esp when the praying sniper gets it.
big cat diary,i know it's not a film but stop filming "brave cheetah mothers and vunerable cubs fighting on the serengeti with nasty male hormonal lions",
flip me,i'm a woman! 😐
I'm hard as nails, but the bit in Once Were Warriors when Grace hangs herself from the tree makes me cry for days. I'm crying now, in fact.
And the end of Breaking the Waves.
Silent Running
*sniff*
The 'off-the-building' scene in the original King Kong, when I was about 4, so my folks say.
Holly Hunter playing 'The Heart asks Pleasure First' on the beach, in 'The Piano'.
Different kind of crying, but Dr. Evil & son Scott arguing in 'Austin Powers 2' (the 'ziiip itt!' scene) embarrased my other half when we saw that at the pictures, oh yes.
Dead Poet's Society when the guy gets up on the desk and starts shouting that line what is it again?
(wanders off to Google...)
Ahh yes
[b]'Ohh captain, my captain'[/b]
And +1 for the ending in Saving Private Ryan - not quite in tears but very emotional.
Yeah, that Dead Poet's bit gets me, Silent Running, too. Lots of films tbh, the older I get! 😳
It's amazing how much a good musical score helps up the tear quota, too!
Most of the last hour or so of The Return Of The King still gives me a lump in my throat and when I first saw The Fellowship Of The Ring, I was full-up at the start where Frodo meets Gandalf and they ride into Hobbition. Just seeing these characters I've loved so much from childhood done justice on screen made me quite emotional. - I say done justice... there are many things about Peter Jackson's treatment of LOTR that make me want to take him outside and give him a damn good shoeing! 😡
If TV is allowed, and judging by the sublime Fresh Prince clip above it very much is, I'm going with
Dawn's secret santa present from Tim.
Holmes and Watson on Mitchell and Webb.
Michael Scott answering the door to trick or treaters.
Lem and the grenade.
The Vendrell family meeting.
at the end of the crow film when brandon's character says goodbye to girl,then rejoins his murdered soulmate at their grave. especially as brandon lee actually was killed during the film's making.r.i.p brandon 🙁
Kramer V Kramer & Fatal attraction both have scenes that no matter how hard I try tears won't stay in if I watch.. 😥
Babe - happy cry when the Fly tells the puppies that Babe can stay with them and they all run up to him saying 'Yeah', it is similar to Toy Story 3 for me.
Tears of laughter - The Inbetweeners when Jay is have a moment in the old peoples home and Seinfeld when Mel Torme is singing to Kramer
I have never cried over a film.
I am actually surprised how many of you have cried over childrens films. The incenerator scene scared my kids and i thought it was more scary than emotional tbh.
EDIT?:My mistake i cried at the end of Cinema Paradiso.
crying at films = sensitive and thoughtful = more ladies = more boobs
hence real men cry at films (and that fresh prince clip)
@retro83 - YES! amazing scene - even watching it on silent at the back of a conference is making me a bit sad.
[i]EDIT?:My mistake i cried at the end of Cinema Paradiso. [/i]
I'd forgotten about that film.
"The Veteran's words at the end of Band of Brothers." Very powerful moment. Especially this:
I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day. He said "Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?" Grandpa said "No. But I served in a company of heroes".
I think the only film that's made me cry though is The Notebook. As a few others have mentioned!
First 20 mins of Saving Private Ryan.
It's towards the end of "Elf" for me, when everyone joins in with the girl singing carols and there is enough Christmas Spirit for Santa's sleigh to fly out of the park....
Everytime...
Casino Royale with the chair and the Monkey Fist knot - makes me cry!
I watched Million Dollar Baby on the flight home. Emotionally broke me. I'm welling up thinking about it.
+1 again for Saving Private Ryan
Actually in SPR, when the medic gets it and is asking for his mum, after they've attacked the machine gun mount. Especially after he tells everyone the story the night before in the church how he'd pretend to be asleep when his mum would come home from work and want to talk. Choked.
Stupid films 🙂
First 20 mins of Shaving Ryan's Privates.
Bridge to Terabithia. Virtually the rest of the film after Leslie dies.
Off to open up a can of man...
Hachi - good god it was awful, as in a wept like a babe, I dare not watch Marley & me....
Up or course, & IIRC Toy Story 3, but the one that really comes to mind is "we were soldiers", final scene when he returns home.
rossrobot - Member
@retro83 - YES! amazing scene - [i]even watching it on silent at the back of a conference is making me a bit sad.
Another reason to love STW! 😀
The LOTR signal-fire scene also gets me, but so does a lot of My Neighbour Totoro, and the end of the Iron Giant. And most Pixar films. Even the conclusion of the race near the end of Cars.
But, Philconsequence, it has not helped my romantic life one bit in spite of what you describe as the fringe benefits of being soft. 🙁
As others have already mentioned:
Million Dollar Baby (ouch, that's harsh!)
Bridge to Terabithia (I had no preconceptions and it caught me out)
Dead Poet's Society (have not seen this in ages - must look it up again)
Have you seen Grand Torino? (another Clint Eastwood movie)
Boromir's last stand/death in LOTR got me a bit just last night! Another vote for the start of Up as well.
Another vote for Up! as well
Return of the King when Aragorn tells the Hobbits they bow for no-one gets me every time
"Long Kiss Goodnight" when Samantha is losing the fight and tells her 8 year old daughter to run, but instead she comes back and repeats her "Get back up and fight" speech from earlier in the movie.
Not sure why, but I'm practically weeping just typing that... 😯
Forest Gump.
