wow I guess I cried at so many films
I cried in Michael when all his feathers fell out ♥
I cried the other night in Blue Velvet with Dean Stockwell sang Candy Coloured Clown
I cried for an hour when Gummo finished
I never really cry when it comes to films but for some bizzare reason this film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332639/ made me shed a tear ….
The actors in it were great! Touching, feel good film >_<
@ Fredrik Heimdal … Lilja 4-ever was such a sad film! A flilm I could not watch again! I did like the ending ..Lukas Moodysson is a great director…still want to watch Happy Together…any other recommendations on his films?
The ending of Bicycle Thieves is so profoundly sad, it’s really heartbreaking.
That long monologue of Harry Dean Stanton’s near the end of “Paris, Texas”; not sure I cry, but I come pretty damn close.
Some good candidates here: Lilja 4-ever, Rosetta, and yeah, Harry Dean Stanton’s monologue in Paris, Texas.
Always the final moments of It’s A Wonderful Life for one. Sentimental but rather wonderful too.
“That long monologue of Harry Dean Stanton’s near the end of “Paris, Texas”; not sure I cry, but I come pretty damn close.”
+1 on this one
Also the scene towards the end in 25th hour where Edward Norton’s father is driving him to jail and tells him to leave and never come back
The end of It’s a Wonderful Life.
The end of The Elephant Man.
Pretty much all of Au Hasard Balthazar. Sometimes the 1994 version of Little Women when Beth dies. I want to cry for at least 30 minutes after Brokeback Mountain ends.
Oh this is going to be so emo….
Antichrist(the first scene…a record really),
Blue (tears of grief and beauty)
The Deer Hunter (the last Russian Roulette!)
Seraphine (pretty much the entire last half of the film was viewed through a curtain of tears!)
The Island (tears of joy)
Roads to Koktebel (tears of recovery)
Open Hearts (tears of unrequited love!)
Breaking the Waves (tears of emotional turpitide)
the ending of Dancer in The Dark (tears of sadness and the unjust!)
There’s tons I won’t see (Au Hasard Balthazar I’m looking at you) because I know it will be too much.
Most of Elephant Man
Most of Departures
Forrest Gump (Momma dies, Jenny dies)
The Ending of Schindler’s List
The Ending of Shine
The Ending of E.T.
There are three movie scenes or sequences, all under the direction of Elia Kazan, that bring mist to my eyes:
The point at which Johnny Nolan, a sentimental, well-meaning but alcoholic husband and father, sings “Annie Laurie” in A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN. The scene clarifies even further his bond with his daughter Francie as both of them emotionally exclude Katie, Johnny’s careworn wife and Francie’s mother.
The last moments of EAST OF EDEN, as Cal Trask sits by the bedside of his father Adam Trask, whose stroke seems to have reconciled son and father at last.
The beginning of the reunion sequence in SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, when Deanie Loomis, now released from the sanitarium, asks her friends to take her to Bud Stamper, her former love. Her friends, at Deanie’s mother’s urging, say they don’t know his whereabouts (for fear of sending Deanie into another emotional tailspin). Unexpectedly, her father speaks up: “He’s staying out at his father’s old ranch.” Deanie goes to where her dad is sitting, gently lifts his chin, and kisses him on the forehead.
Oh my god, what a list…
Dancer in The Dark is a true tearjerker.
The jail scene in Raging Bull
Nick Stahl’s death in The Thin Red Line
The scene in Jarman’s War Requiem that only has Tilda Swinton.
The ending of Mizoguchi’s Women of the Night.
Robert de Niro scenes in Awakenings
the last 5 or so minutes of Cinema Paradiso = real tear-jerking material…
umberto d / tokyo story / make way for tomorrow
umberto d when he found flike in the pound
tokyo story when the granpa says thanks to daughter in law
make way for tomorrow when the main characters say goodbye in the train station
Did I post in here already? Well even if I did, it deserves a repeat:.
From 12 Angry Men:
Juror #3: Well, what do you want? I say he’s guilty.
Juror #8: We want to hear your arguments.
Juror #3: I gave you my arguments!
Juror #8: We’re not convinced. We want to hear them again. We have as much time as it takes.
Juror #3: Everything… every single thing that took place in that courtroom, but I mean everything… says he’s guilty. What d’ya think? I’m an idiot or somethin’? Why don’t cha take that stuff about the old man; the old man who lived there and heard every thing? Or this business about the knife! What, ‘cause we found one exactly like it? The old man SAW him. Right there on the stairs. What’s the difference how many seconds it was? Every single thing. The knife falling through a hole in his pocket… you can’t PROVE he didn’t get to the door! Sure, you can take all the time hobblin’ around the room, but you can’t PROVE it! And what about this business with the El? And the movies! There’s a phony deal if I ever heard one. I betcha five thousand dollars I’d remember the movies I saw! I’m tellin’ ya: every thing that’s gone on has been twisted… and turned. This business with the glasses. How do you know she didn’t have ‘em on? This woman testified in open court! And what about hearin’ the kid yell… huh? I’m tellin’ ya, I’ve got all the facts here…
[He struggles with his notebook, throws it on the table. The photo of him with his son is on top]
Juror #3: Here… Ah. Well, that’s it – that’s the whole case!
[He turns towards the window as the other jurors stare at him]
Juror #3: Well… say something! You lousy bunch of bleedin’ hearts. You’re not goin’ to intimidate me – I’m entitled to my opinion!
[He sees the picture of his son on the table]
Juror #3: Rotten kids… you work your life out!
[He grabs the picture and tears it to pieces. He suddenly realizes what he’s doing]
Juror #3: [Breaks down] No. Not guilty. Not guilty.

Lilja 4-ever: The ending. At the second watch I almost cried all the time, but what really hit me the second time is when she meets Andrei.
The Elephant Man: when he falls asleep….
La Vita É Bella: When the tanks arrives.
