What movie made you cry the most?

[alistair]

I remember watching this movie as a teenager (the one below this post). I was alone in the house on a Saturday afternoon and remember turning the TV on and it had just started.

I didn't know anything of the story behind it or anything at all but just became completely engrossed in it. I don't mind admitting at the end I was pretty upset and I completely balled my eyes out, but don't tell anyone.

I've never watched anything that affected me like that, before or after. I've seen it on youtube since and it's still sad even though I know the ending.

So my question is and has probably been asked before but what movie, if any has made you cry the most?

The Fighting Sullivans (1944) FULL MOVIE - YouTube[/url]

The Fighting Sullivans (Good Movie - watch it if you haven't seen it) was based on a true story Looking Back...The True Story of the Fighting Sullivans — James Kennedy Public Library which changed the way families went to war, and why they had to go looking for Private Ryan -

I had to think of some that have also had that impact on me...not that I was crying my eyes out, but they were touching, or disturbing - they tend to be documentaries, like "The Stoning of Soraya M." - but others based on true stories which had impact were "Hotel Rwanda" and "Schindler's List", because the drama and heartache are based on man's inhumanity to man, and indomitable spirit.

I've probably been tempered over the years though...I used to have a girlfriend that cried when Pee Wee Herman had his bike stolen

Oh yeah, I cried watching saving Private Ryan too. Haha!

Some movies have had that effect on me, but I can't recall which. I think the end credits on movies are there for males to preserve their macho image and wait until their eyes dry out.

[fghaegele]

Free Willy. Free Willy 2 made me cry even harder.

Glory with Matthew Broderick and Denzel Washington. I'm a mess all through it. It's a jumbo Kleenex situation.

I cried when I found out they cast Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher in the upcoming movie. Tears of rage, they were.

I'll admit, however, that Monsters, Inc. caught me by surprise. I teared up a little and my wife has never let me forget it.

One of my papers in college was on violence in television, and the effect it had on preschool children, and I remember a study from the 60's that was done on what were termed back then 'troubled kids' - kids who were prone to violence, or bullies, or would just shut down...in the study they found that gun play and violent scenes were absorbed more easily because they were used to seeing it. The kind of violence that was really upsetting to these children were movies like "Old Yeller", and the TV show Lassie, which dealt with the loss of a loved pet, or in the case of Lassie, a pet that was in danger - in some cases the kids would have extreme anxiety between the episode where Lassie was in danger and when she was OK again.

For instance, when I was little, The Wizard of OZ scared the CRAP out of me - A mean old Witch with Flying Monkeys trying to kill your dog? No WAY!

Even today, while cycling...I find myself humming the Miss Gulch tune

Yeah, now that you mention it. I remember watching Lassie as a wee lad. They had a three-part show titled Lassie's Odyssey I think. Lassie somehow gets lost far, far from home. The family, Timmy, ma, pa and gramps) are all fretting and sad for three shows.

Each episode shows the family as well as what Lassie'd doing as she tries to get home. In the third one Lassie's been gone so long they finally throw in the towel. In the final scene Timmy has taken all Lassie's toys and stuff out to their special spot under their special tree to bury it all.

Just as he's putting the stuff in the hole you see Lassie way off in the background running toward lil' Timmy. Man, I was nearly hysterical watching that crying my head off (not even caring it's not cool for boys to cry). [he writes as the tears well up just thinking about it]

Kay, I truly wish it was a joke. Worst casting job in history. Oh, and Reacher is a cop in the movie. And, no, not a military cop.

Here's a link to the preview. Don't watch it if you don't want your day ruined:

Oh, and a note to any authors who might be reading this post: If I like your books, any movies made based on them will be awful. Sorry, that's just how things seem to work. I'm looking at you, Lee child and John Sandford.

I think the fact that it's a true story maybe what made it worse for me and yes it is a superb movie, not only sad but inspirational. I can't think of any other time I've cried at any movie other than this one. I was welling up inside watching ET as a kid but didn't let go and the same with The Champ.

It's not the done thing to cry in my family although I do remember crying when JR got shot in Dallas.

I have to admit that this clip here made my eyes teary, when Sixto Rodriguez stepped onto the stage in South Africa. I don't understand my reaction to it -- it was automatic:

Oh....there are so many!

The first one that popped into my head was John Q. I can't even think about that movie without tearing up.

Also....

I could go on and on.

Many of the ones listed above would definitely be on my list too.

Elephant Man, A Trip to Bountiful, Bryan's Song.

I did see a lot of people crying when they came out of "The Hunger Games" a few months back...

When I asked why they were crying, it was because they had just shelled out $10 to see it -


I can only imagine how those people felt who camped out for a month to see the last Star Wars movie!

I've never cried at a movie; but at Up I did get some uhm salt in my eye from the uhm popcorn, yes that was it.

My youngest son then had the nerve to ask - VERY loudly so everyone could hear - "Why are you crying daddy?", but it was just salt in the eyes.....

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

ps my wife and I went through infertility treatments for 3 years, and 2 failed adoptions, before we got our 2 boys.....just an FYI.

After seeing Saving Private Ryan, nearly all the men in the theater were crying and the women were looking like WTF.

Not me, of course. I might've sniffled a little bit. I don't remember.

Titanic. I was 15. I still tear up every few years when I watch it again.

It didn't hit me that way, but I thank you for bringing Rodriguez to my attention. I hadn't heard of him, but after listening to a few of his songs on YouTube, I like what I hear.


As for movies that made me cry, I can't think of one. That doesn't mean there haven't been any, just that I can't think of one. It doesn't help that I haven't watched a movie in years, I suppose.

"Note Book" movie made me cry.

[Ledux]

Well I don't recall crying after watching a movie, well of course if laugh tiers don't count Though I have cried after reading a book when I was little.
But probably a movie that touched me the most, even kinda shocked me was Seven Pounds an incredible movie by Will Smith. I could call it the best movie I have seen. Definitely worth watching.

[DotComBum]

The Green Mile make me cry the most.

I still am baffled that it hit me that way. It's not like I was emotionally invested in that story, so something is very wrong with me and I should call an ambulance or check in with the mental health authorities ASAP. Anyway, I wasn't familiar with Sixto Rodrguez and his music either until I learned about him in the news. I do feel I missed out on something. His albums are really great and would have been a great addition to the songs of my teenage years.

I damn near cried when Elias (Willem Defoe) died in Platoon - that was one sad scene.

Well, yes it was!

In my eyes, if a movie can move me to the point of tears whether they be tears of sorrow or happy tears, it is an excellent movie. It hit the emotional triggers just as the writers, producers, actors/actresses, etc. intended it to.

If the movie takes me on a roller coaster ride between tears of sorrow and happy tears, even better.

I'm pretty sure someone was cutting onions near me during Toy Story 3.

There are a few others about the undying loyalty as well - like Greyfriar's Bobby
