Boy in the Striped PJs... gah I'm never watching that again. Love the film but never, ever again!

Titanic... the music and the sinking/aftermath get me every time; when the boat goes back to find survivors... thats a harsh one for me. I have learnt to mostly ignore the Leo and Kate love story.

UP got me teary eyed, as do Rapunzel and Toy Story 3 but generally not for the same reasons as most.


I don't mind that I cry at movies; reminds me not to be so damn cynical all the time.

Awesome film. Never known anyone else who has heard of it before. Budget of just $1,000,000, dontcha know?

Anyway, sad films - My Neighbour Totoro.

Also, Spirited Away makes me cry, but mainly out of happiness and homesickness.

Gattaca make me catch myself...

I know it's been a while since I saw it, but how was My Neighbor Totoro a sad movie? I mean, it had its conflict right around the middle, but IIRC it was a fairly light-hearted movie.

I'm just gonna go ahead and put another +1 for the ending of Toy Story 3 and the beginning of Up. Manly tears of sadness.

Nom

Finally someone like me

If anyone says the Boy in striped Pyjamas I have to say I laughed due to the sheer Irony.

Movies I can remember feeling moved/lump in throat
Up
The Bucket List
Marley and Me :$
Meet Joe Black
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Deathly Hallows Part 2

I remember an episode in the final series of Stargate Atlantis where Rodney McKay is losing his mind, slightly like alzheimer's. That was well done and well acted, and may have made me a little misty eyed...

There's other TV stuff like Firefly that pricks those emotions too.

Toy Story 2 and 3

Also a lot of movies that aren't "sad" movies but have sad or perfect moments. The denouement of Speed Racer for instance is top notch.

I know I'm a broken record about Star Trek, but the DS9 finale a million times over.

That was some good television.

Also The West Wing's season 2 finale "18th and Potomac" had several moments of emotional intensity that the show never re-achieved.
