Well what was it.
for me it was the ending to my dog skip.
Or the futurama ending to the one with the dog. That show is the reason I cant go to sleep without my dog next to me.
Know im crying. i got to hug my dog.

Forest Gump.
When he's in 'Nam and he runs back to find Bubba. *sniffle* And then Bubba asks what happened, and Forest says "You got shot, Bubba." *lips trembling*

"If I knew that was the last thing I'd get to say to Bubba, I'd have said sumthin' else."

Big Fish made me cry as well , both movies were amazing.
(fairy tale for grown ups? )

**Kanluwen**

Elf.

When he's fighting Santa...it brings tears to my eyes.

HOW DARE YOU SANTA! HOW DARE YOU SIT ON A THRONE OF LIES!

Without a shadow of a doubt.

In my opinion, one of Tim Burton's finest works.

**Roze**

Big Fish.

Who will love my children.

My dad always cries at the end of Field of Dreams.

I can't think of any movie that made me cry, as I tend to watch them from a certain distance (TV Tropes ruined my life). That said, movies that remind of events in my life:

Good Will Hunting
What's Eating Gilbert Grape

I can't think of any movie that made me cry, as I tend to be a souless platypus that eats little children and billy goats and who hides under a bridge. I am, in every sense of the word, a heartless monster.

Fixed it.

**dogma**

My ex-girlfriends would agree with you.

**JEB_Stuart**

Uh, tears of anguish or or just being moved to tears?

**CaptainCommunsism**

Schindler's list.

**MeanGreenStompa**

King kong. Or anything with animal cruelty in it. I can watch all sorts of horrific stuff about humans and barely twitch and then a dog steps on a piece of glass and I'm sniffling. Even as a tiny kid, there's a clip in Towering Inferno (I think, or another disaster film) that shows a dog in it and for the rest of the film I'm stressing about the animal getting out and totally disinterested by the cast's struggle for survival.
I got annoyed about the treatment of the prawns in district 9 to the point of getting shifty in my seat because it was making me feel angry. I watched Tears of the Sun a few days later, showing atrocities in Nigeria and didn't bat an eyelid.

Dunno why really.

**Ahtman**

Schindler's List - not during the film but the afterward where you see the real people leaving stones on his grave.
Return of the Jedi - My mom said I cried when Darth Vader died

Big Fish almost did it, welled up a bit, but no tears.

**Emperors Faithful**

Shawshank Redemption got me teary, I can't remember a particular moment though.

But most of all, without doubt, is DragonHeart. When the Dragon dies and his soul ascends before dispersing? You see the reflection in the peoples eyes and I start bawling.

**Cheese Elemental**

Return of the King, at the end when Frodo, Bilbo and Gandalf leave for the Grey Havens and Sam gets left behind.

MANLY TEARS.

Great flick, I thought the beginning was sad.

**IvanTih**

Terminator,I cried when the Terminator was crushed in that factory.

**Emperors Faithful**

...

**Khornholio**

When Leonaidas dies in 300.

**generalgrog**

Revenge of the Sith.

The scene where Anakin is confronted by Padme' on the volcano planet. That scene was pretty deep.

GG

**Lukus83**

I have to say that none of these movies made me cry...tears well in a few movies but a film would have to be supremely good to make me shed a tear.

Your best bet would be a film with cruelty to dogs in it...I'm a sucker for 'em.

**mattyrm**

Movies dont make me cry. In fact, men should not cry in front of other people ever, or eat their own hand's in embarrasment!

When the little old guy who'd been released committed suicide because he couldn't cope on the outside, that was upsetting.

**Fallen668**

Voices of A Distant Star.

This one is Anime so Luna will probably be the only one who knows it. It pretty much is the only movie that has ever gotten that kind of reaction out of me. I am thinking because I was going through a long distance relationship at the time. then again the other 4 people I was watching it with were also all kind of sniffling after it because it is so sad.

**Dark Lord Seanron**

Wall-E and Up!

Yeah, yeah, Pixar films, by my god, if you didn't find the beginning of Up harrowing then you have no soul!

**Slappywag**

I cried in the cinema when watching Super Mario Brothers...

Romeo and Juliet gets me a little bit. I'll admit it openly to, I love R&J.

**Mannahnin**

Ha!

My first serious relationship broke off because I decided I wasn’t in love with the girl. I was pretty much always calm when we had a disagreement, probably mostly because I wasn’t too emotionally invested. Anyway, we wound up chatting a year or so later, when she was dating someone else, and she commented on how well they got on. That he would fight with her when she was in a fighty mood, then they’d make up and it would be great. To which I responded “As opposed to me, with my heart of stone.” After a brief pause, she said “…Well, I was going to put it more nicely.”

That notwithstanding, I do weep at some movies.

Big Fish got a tear or two.
Schindler’s.
Up!
Grave of the Fireflies
The big winner, though, is Dancer in the Dark. I cried like a goddamn baby.

I'm sure there are others, but not ones I can recall right now.

**reds8n**

I can recall being reduced to tears of rage and frustration when watching The Mission many many years ago as a teenager. Grr !

**Empchild**

Marley and Me, and of coarse Old Yeller, oo and of recent The Blind Side was beautiful with sandra bullock and tim Mcgraw.
