Movies that made us cry

[deleted]

Yep Brotherhood made me cry. I would like to ask though which part of the film made you cry, because for me it was when Won Bin took the shoes out of the drawer and cried. The only other films that have made me cry, or at least made me get a bit upset, is the Chinese war film Assesmbly, which was produced by the same team that made Brotherhood, the Singaporean film called 15 and the Hong Kong film Amphetamine.

I'll be honest... Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, We Were Soldiers... none of these made me cry. Not even close. Some movies make you close to crying, like your eyes tear up. Not even a single moment like that. ALthough I loved every film I mentioned. Tae Guk Gi though, I definitely cried. Both my grandparents fought in that war as South Koreans and my families had to endure the warfare and the constant fear of civilians being killed by their own soldiers in suspicious of conspiring with the enemy.

I came close to crying watching Pursuit of Happyness. Will Smith in my opinion turned into a bad actor but he did so well in this film and deserves tremendous credit for a job well done. But reality is... people cry for Will Smith but no one really cries for the REAL homeless people out there.

I cried watching Pokemon the first movie :D but I was a little kid and I couldn't deal with that kid Ash dying. The first time I watched Armageddon I teared up. After that, I grew up and realized most of it wasn't worth my tears LOL. Until I watched Tae Guk Gi.

SO so many (cry-baby here. No, just get submerged in the characters' plights & emotional journey. Sign of success for a movie I hope!)

Surprising (and DO see this, such a sleeper).
Warrior with Nick Nolte & the incredible brotherly bond which is severely tested. SO touching, so sad (in many aspects! GO see this, you won't be disappointed).

Son of the Bride (foreign from Brazil I think). Short of Shawshank & Cool Hand Luke, two of my favorite films, this is close to perfection & top of my list. Such an evolution of son's character & the arc of the story you will not find lacking. Go 'head & give this foreign film a whirl! I dare ya!!

Steel Magnolias where Sally Feild's in the cemetery speaking about how hard it is to bury her dead daughter (Julia Roberts). OK movie but scene is heartbreaking (watching with my Mom who just buried my 16 yr old brother in accident not long before made it ALL the more tragic & heart-rendering, imagining how well SHE could relate, beyond my mere comprehension).

Stupidly (in a sense, due to tearjerker quality)... Carousel due to the IMMENSE power of the music! If you DON'T well up hearing (over and over) "If I loved you" & when her husband, Billy, dies & Nettie sings "when you walk through a storm, hold your head up high"...I would guess your heart's made of stone (lol)

Serpico.
Terms of endearment.
The Hunt (excellent foreign film --I think out of Norway--from this year..or maybe last)

Gosh, I better not go on, clearly I'm way TOO emotional (cried during My Girl when the boy--McCaulkin-- dies. Kids dying are the WORST torment).

And lastly I see many mentioned Schindler's list, Life is beautiful & so on. Insofar as that, ANY holocaust, other war atrocity, or respectable war movie's a sure bet if executed in the right hands (how can it NOT? And I try to avoid most of them)

But also happy tears exist...loved... Searching for Sugarman, It's a wonderful life, Rocky (ONE!...maybe due to just turning teenage, so YOUNG! but yeah, it holds up, what atmosphere that first one delivered, music & all..I wanted to workout myself!).
Too many to mention in every regard (both sad & happy great films). But sure gave it a shot!

Failan got me. The scene where he reads the letter.
Other then that I can´t think of other movies.

I don't cry in movies but these have very emotional scenes

1. Cars - Sounds weird, but Pixar's "Cars" when they talk about their nostalgia toward the past and how the town was bypassed simply to save 15 minutes of driving. The movie has a very deep message about our society today vs the better days of the past and what we have all lost as a nation in the name of "progress". There was a line about how right now its all about "making good time" while in the past life was about "having a good time". I do miss Route 66 and the good ol' days. America was also a better and more innocent place back then

2. Pearl Harbor - When Ben Affleck returns home....for me it was about the hard won freedom of the United States after the long war. It was the peacefulness of the scene back on the farm after the long war.

3. "The Pacific" - the ending episode was very sad as the soldiers return home scarred by battle

4. "The Town"

5. "Courage Under Fire" - When Denzel Washington visits his friend's family and awards the medal to Meg Ryan's character at her grave

the plague dogs.
