Crying?

I know this isn't related to 'The Secret Garden', but you seem a friendly bunch on this board, and I hope you don't mind.

I just wanted to know which films people have cried watching. I cry all the time when I'm watching TV (it's when people are dying or permanently leaving that it gets to me), and I was wondering if I was the only one who did. I am now going to try and list the films and TV show that I have cried while watching.

Troy
Henry VIII
Doctor Who (Episode - Father's Day)
Doctor Who (Episode - The Parting of the Ways)
The Secret Garden
A Little Princess
Gone With the Wind
The Lord of the Rings, the Return of the King

I will probably remember some more, but that's all I can think of right now.

Rigoletto

Thank you, and you reminded me of another two - Black Beauty and Hidalgo.
Anyone else?

The Joan of Arc with LeeLee Sobieski?

I cried at that one. Partly out of frustration at the way she was treated, and at one memorable scene where she's in a church, screaming to God "Why?!" after a friend dies.

Moulin Rouge! (The end gets me every time)
Finding Neverland (during the play and when they finally "find Neverland")
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (anyone who's seen Bailey's scene will agree)
The Secret Garden
A Little Princess
The Lion King
The Red Violin
Titanic
Angela's Ashes
A Very Long Engagement

I'm sure there's more, but hey, I'm already enough of a crybaby.

I cried when Achilles died, and when Frodo left the Grey Havens.

Achilles wanted to protect he woman he loved (Persaus?). Not that Paris would have shot her, but he wanted to tell her to flee.

A Little Princess. NOBODY can watch the 1994 version (the good version) of the movie, without crying. Well nobody with a soul...

[–] corkyswife 20 years ago

Well, I'm a big weinie, so probably the wrong person to ask.
I just watched Muriel's Wedding again last night, and I was a mess.
Also:
Scrooged (when he goes back to his childhood; "Merry Christmas, Mama!")
It's A Wonderful Life ("please don't hit my sore ear, Mr. Gower!")
Terms of Endearment (of course)
Awakenings (when DeNiro sees his mom for the first time in 15 years)
Song of the South (when Johnny realizes his dad is leaving and not coming back)
A Mighty Wind (The Mitch and Mickey finale)
Peter Pan (the "You Can Fly" part in the nursery, and the end)
Mary Poppins (the end, when Mary's leaving and Dad comes around)
and of course, The Secret Garden

Most things involving kids who are traumatized rip my heart out every time.
I won't mention things with animals, because I'm too sensitive to even WATCH them! Sometimes I wish I could desensitize myself, but then again, I guess it can be a good thing.

I cry at the Mitch and Mickey kiss scene in A Mighty Wind, god, do I ever.
I also always cry in Galaxy Quest, when Alexander says to
Quellek, "By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan... You
shall be avenged." In that moment he realizes what his art has meant, how it has created something real and beautiful for this person and he accepts himself and is able to give something to someone who really needs it. My husband always laughs at that scene, but it always makes me cry.

Fried Green Tomatoes (Throughout the movie)
The Neverending Story (Artax's death)
King Arthur (When *beep* dies, I get misty)
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (Willy's death)
Black Beauty
The Secret Garden (of Course)
Last of the Mohicans (When Uncas dies)
Girl Interrupted (The End)
Steel Magnolias (Throughout, mainly at the end)
Hidalgo
A few more I can't remember off the top of my head. I'm odd. I get either really emotional, or laugh. No grey area.
Oh Yeah...Peter Pan...when Tink is dead and the whole "I do believe in fairies, I do I do."

I so cried on Peter Pan, I even whispered, "I do believe in fairies."
Let's see...
Titanic
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (when Vivian beats the kids and Sidda shields them, also the movie reminded me of my relationship with my mother)
Last of the Mohicans (started when the white soldier sacrificed himself and kept crying until the end)

I don't like to cry, but mostly I cry on movies where the music heightens the moment, and either someone dies or they overcome great obstacles. I know there are more, but I can't think of them right now.

[–] Jewel_of_the_Palace 19 years ago

I also cried on these movies:
The Miracle Worker (Haley is an awesome actress!)
Backdraft (reminded me of 9/11)
Ladder 49 (When she saw that car pull up, I just bawled!)
Saving Private Ryan (who didn't?!)
City of Angels (Poor Nicolas Cage!)
Diary of a Mad Black Woman (awesome story)
The Green Mile (I felt so sorry for John Coffee)
The Notebook (The ending was perfect!)
A Walk to Remember (Why did she have to die?)
Armageddon (When Liz says "I love you Daddy", I didn't cry, I wept)
A Little Princess (I love Shirley Temple)
Butterfly Effect (I watched the alternate ending)

[–] NewWaveWitch 20 years ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one who cries during this movie!

I love this movie so much, it's one of my most favorites, and all my friends have completely disregarded or forgotten this movie, but I adore it so much.

When Mary runs off saying "Nobody wants me!" I just lose it. She was pushed away so much, just nobody around! I totally lose it.

[–] Claymate3000 19 years ago

The Butterfly Effect (I was bawling when the baby died. It just went on from there)

Finding Neverland (Freddie Highmore's performance was just beautiful and spectacular. He's gonna be as big as Jonnny Depp someday, I just know it!)

Edward Scisorrhands (I almost started crying when he poked a hole in the waterbed, because he had this look like--"Oh, no, this is gonna make them sooo mad!"
I did start crying when he left.

And, the secret garden.

Dude, Two words: Jacob Smith Rocks!

DOWN WITH UMBRIDGE!!!!!!!

HE GOT OFF! HE GOT OFF!

It just tears me up to think that some people...don't believe in magic. Don't believe that if you close your eyes and wish hard enough, miracles can happen--Me

Awakenings (when they're dancing)

Million Dollar Baby (when Frankie tells her what the Irish word means)

My Dog Skip (lol, when he dies....)

LOL! I cried in LOTR the return of teh King, when Ferromir's father wanted to burn him just because he was alive and Borromir wasn't.
I didn't cry in Troy, but I was sad when Achilles died. Besides that:

-Harry Potter and the prizoner of Azkban (bvecause I had knowledge of things that happen later in the books, so it just seemed sad)
-Finding Neverland
-Peter Pan
-Love Actually

I can't think of anything recent
