The final car accident reveal in Enter The Void, wherein the young Linda cries in terror. The scene was affecting not only in an emotional capacity, but in a visceral capacity as well. I’ve not seen a more authentic, nor heart-rending, performance from a child actor. It was a scene of such immense power one can’t help but speculate as to the ethics surrounding Gaspar Noe’s methodology in coaxing such a response from a child, and the appurtenant possiblity of scarring the young actor for life.
Juliet Stevenson in Truly Madly Deeply – she looked tired, puffy eyes, red nose – THAT’s what cryin’ looks like.
Meryl Streep – Sophie’s Choice – when she has to choose – ripped my heart out
Brad Pitt – at the end of Seven
Helen Hunt – As Good As It Gets
Natalie Portman -in Garden State
Anthony Hopkins – in Howards End
Colin Farrell – In Bruges
Helen Mirren – in Gosford Park
and
I’ve loved you so long


Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca
Ingrid Bergman cries in movies a lot…
Daniel Craig
The “hand or foot” scene in CITY OF GOD. I can barely watch it.

Brady Corbet in the final few scenes of Mysterious Skin was really great.
Andrew Garfield in Never Let Me Go also had a great crying scene.
^Sol, you’re funny :)

^ Nice gif.
I bawled my eyes out at the end of Never Let Me Go.
Oh, you meant the actors crying. My bad.
i agree with lots of these so far, but mostly brady corbet in mysterious skin – this is probably my favourite scene of a male actor crying
others i like:
sheryl lee at the end of twin peaks: fire walk with me
bud cort in harold and maude
elizabeth taylor in suddenly, last summer
emmanuel shotte in l’humanite
i don’t know the actor’s name, but the boyfriend character at the end of ‘taxi zum klo’ when he’s carrying the sheep around


I’m going to end this thread:

Something about Kidman when she cries gets to me… especially in these two films…





!!
But they are all put to shame by a certain animated elephant

^ Nice! I almost used that one, until I realized the OP stated ‘PEOPLE’ on the title.

Intermission is the movie that made me like Farrell and know he could act, despite his terrible filmography (for the most part);In Bruges was the movie that made me very much respect Farrell. I agree he was robbed an oscar nod, but we’ll see what happens with Seven Psychopaths, if you haven’t read up on it, i highly recommend it; it’s one of my most anticipated of 2012.
