hmm... Sixth Sense ending got my eyes wet, when I watched it at night.
Also, The Hours, absolutely great movie, every minute with this existentialistic mood and every second of it is melancholic dying... I watched it many times.


I'm not sure if you're serious, Pinky... because it's kinda considered bloody gory Tarantino stuff ... But I agree with you, and I'm glad you mentioned it. I haven't cried, but it is indeed... sensitive. And one of my favourites.

Hmm, I didn't. Actually no one in the theater cried.

And sometimes... when I watch Animal Planet... the running tiger in slow motion. the flying eagle in the mountains...

Bambi -When Mama dear died

I'm amazed nobody has mentioned the scene in Blade Runner where Rutger Hauer saves Harrison Ford and gives his classic "Tears in the rain" speech before he dies and the white dove flies to the sky.

The music at that scene is a tear-jerker.

I remember I cried a lot when Bambi's mother was killed

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter (2003)
Dont know if anyone has heard of this movie but it was beautiful, the whole movie.Just beautiful.

I can't believe no one has mentioned American Beauty yet, the closing scene is definitely one of my favorite tear jerker's, it's incredibally powerful in my opinion.

Another scene with this effect (for me at least) is the scene in the Royal Tennenbaums after Richie attempts suicide and he visits Margot who is in his tent listening to records. I really liked the way that they worked 'Fly' by Nick Drake into that scene, easily one of my favorite songs and film scenes of all time.

There's a rather sad scene in 'I'm Not there' I was also really fond of where an old and washed up Bob Dylan (Richard Geare) watches a younger Bob Dylan (Heath Ledger) in face paint made to make him look like a corpse performing 'Goin' to Acapulco' alongside a bride in a casket which made for very powerful symbolism, althgh it probably doesn't mean much if your not familiar with Dylan's work.

The closing scenes to American History X and Lost In Translation also deserve mentions in my opinion.

Not a scene, but has anyone else seen 'Gummo'? It's not so much tear jerking bt it is easily one of (if not THE) the most depressing, sad films I have ever seen.

I'm typically not a crier, it's extremely rare for me. BUT-

Coal Miner's Daughter makes me just fall apart and sob every time. These people are so noble through their tragedies and even their own screwups. Simply, heartbreakingly beautiful.

Ted: I aint ever gonna see you again.
Loretta: Yes you will, daddy.
Ted: Maybe, but i aint never gonna see my little girl again.

And yeah, that final scene in Braveheart as well. Happy, satisfied crying. He fulfilled his life's purpose without compromising and it is victorious. Transcendent.

Oh yeah, edit: That last scene in Blow, when Johhny Depp's character's daughter comes to visit him in jail and they reconcile, with the daughter forgiving him for her turbulent childhood. That's not the part that is a tearjerker though, it's the last part of the scene when the guard calls his name again and it snaps him out of the fantasy... his daughter never came to see him, he was imagining the whole thing, he needed forgiveness so badly but had really screwed himself in the eyes of his daughter and she never came to see him, growing up without him knowing even what she looked like as an adult. That is so heartwrenching.

earlier today i cried during the ending of Big Fish. it was just so moving how edward's son decided to make up a story of how his father is supposed to go, and, edward died happy

Fantastic Movie

I forgot about that one... That was a great movie...

no matter how many times I see it , the movie LadyHawke makes me cry.

by day she's a hawk and by night he's a wolf . Cursed.

when they catch him as a wolf and she lays with him until at dawn she starts transforming into a hawk and as he's turning human again and for an instant they can see each other but can never touch.

ok ... pass the tissue

In the patriot when Mel gibson and heath ledger have to go back to war and mel gibson's daughter in the movie starts crying and begging him not to go.

Yes! Thank you, I thought that scene was powerful.


When I was kid, I use to cry at the end of Disney's the Fox and the Hound.

from ET ... when ET is finally going to go home and ET asks Elliot to come and Elliot asks ET to stay....

was just on TV

There is a movie called "Mask" which stars Cher and Eric Stoltz. Stoltz plays a boy with a facial skull deformity and his mother is a biker chick. Pretty normal people, or try to be. But of course at the end, he dies. But he dreams of travelling the world someday and has his destinations tacked on a map. When mom finds he that he died, she tells him "Now you can go anywhere you want, baby" *sniffles* But such a good movie

When Littlefoot's mom dies in The Land Before Time.
And when Mandy Moore dies in A Walk To Remember.

-Pol

That makes me cry too, so did Life is beautiful, when the father leaves his son to go find his wife and gets shot.

When Draco dies in Dragonheart. Noooooo!!

I know this thread's last post is about a month out of date, but I needed to reply. I just saw the Notebook and must agree completely - an absolute tear-jerker. I needed a box of those extra-soft 4-ply tissues just to keep from getting a sore nose. Very good movie, all round.

There's a couple that choke me up....

Passion Of The Christ,ET and....the scene from Avatar The Last Airbender
when Yue gives her life to the Moon spirit,Tui and La (the ocean and moon spirit) take the form of a black and white kio fish who circle eachother in an eternal dance that keeps the balance,then Admiril Zhao comes and leads his army of Fire Nation and firebenders (they manipulate fire) to the waterbenders (who manipulate water) fought for there nation Zhao wants to put an end to all waterbenders so he kills the white koi fish *moon spirit La* and because they were fighting at night under the full moon,the moon turns red along with the entire sky *dramatic music* and all waterbender's stop there water manipulation is midst fight! Yue is the princess of the waterbenders and says to her love (sokka)

"The Moon Spirit Gave me some of her life,maybe I can give it back"

and Sokka's like "What?". Yue basically said when she was little she was a very ill child who was born without noise,there was no way she could've survived despite being under some of the best healers in the world,so one day her father and mother prayed to the moon spirit and bathed her in the sacred ponds were the Koi fish *moon and ocean spirit* were,

The moon spirit gave a bit of its life to her,Yue's black hair turned white and for the first time cried they new she would survive.

Now Yue goes over to the dead fish but Sokka refuses to let go of her hand and says

"You can't! I swore to your father I would protect you" and Yue says

"I have to do this" and they play sad music and do a close-up on there parting hands,Yue puts her hands over the fish and the fish glows with life,she falls dead and Sokka holds her body whispering "She's gone",but the moment they put the fish back in the water the moon returns,and the waterbenders resume fighting the red sky turns back to normal and Yue's dead body slowly dissapeared out of Sokka's arms.

Then from the moon Yue floats as an amazing angelic looking spirit and Sokka kiss's her but half-way through the kiss she begins to fade away to take the place as the new Moon Spirit,but has to leave Sokka behind.

It was so SAD! ..

End of 'Field of dreams'

brokeback mountain when ennis finds out what happened to Jack

any time a strong tough man cries

oh and everytime Christian Bale dies or sings

Yep same goes for me.
Another one is the Greenmile, when the big black guy was executed.

One scene that springs to mind, is the detah scene in the movie "The Champ".. Ricky Schroder (the son) is begging his dead to wake up after a fight... you probably have to watch teh movie to appreciate the scene.. anyway here it is: The Champ death scene

In Edward Scissorhands when Kim says: "Hold me." And then Edward looks at his hands and says "I can't"

when the horse sinks in the quicksand and dies in the movie "the neverending story"

now that was bad..
