Time to confess- What films have made you cry. Not the obvious ones but the films where everyone else looks at you (or maybe just me) not understanding your emotion. 1 Close Encounters - When the aliens first reveal themselves from the mothership to end credits, I'm a goner. 2 Blade Runner - Rutger's final speech is heartbreaking.

I hear you on that one. The way Rutger delivers that speech is mesmerising. I myself cried buckets at the end of Tim Burton's Big Fish, to the point I was still crying 10 minutes after I switched it off. I cried at the end of Dirting Dancing too because I watched it after Patrick Swayze had died , my girlfriend still takes the mickey out of me for that one haha.

I was blubbering in Magnolia in that heartbreaking scene where Philip Baker Hall's cancer-riddled game show host struggles with the game rules, then mumbles off script ("I don't mean to give away the answer... it's... please, just... you know... sing us a ditty, ...")
, and collapses. That's before we learn he's a kiddy-fiddling bastard of course . . .

Watership Down: as a kid, made me cry AND shit my pants.

Million Dollar Baby - because I was in a really bad place following my fathers death and I was expecting this feel good film about someone battling against the odds to success to lift me. Of course the film starts that way before taking the twist (that I wont spoil here). left me sobbing - the first time a film had done that since i was a child.

YES! That film is really creepy and horrific for a child, it's also very sad and makes me and my girlfriend cry.

The Elephant Man, I cant watch that film without cryng the whole way through. The bit where he shows his friends a picture of his mother and tells them how beautiful she was is absolutely heartbreaking. Im actually welling up now just thinking about it. Amazing film, absolutely stunning to look at, Lynchs best in my opinion and John hurt is incredible.

Many things have made me weepy, King Kong was probably the first...

I cried majorly after watching Babe (I was expecting a cheery 90s era Disney-like story, should have known better with it coming from the Road Warrior director). I generally avoid movies with non human protagonists in depressing situations-especially gorillas-never seen Gorillas in the Mist or Instinct and never will.

I sometimes teared up at the "I'm Spartacus!" scene.

Also when Mr. Jingles gets stepped on in the Green Mile.

absolutely the same here. first lynch movie i saw (at the age of ten) and it still gets me.
odd choices:
SUPERBAD at the end when the two boys are separated through the escalator and curtis mayfield singing in the background, its the end of this part of their lifes now.

THE ICE STORM several moments: when christina ricci jumps on her dads arms after he lectured her about fumbling with the neighbours boy or later when kevins wife gets him out of the toilett where he lies dead drunk after SHE fumbled with the neighbour...

more obvious choice:
TRUELY MADLY DEEPLY
the scene when the wife is sitting at the piano playing a song they used to play together and alan rickman comes back from the dead joining in. her reaction...waterfalls...

As a kid:

E.T. - big time in the cinema.

Kes and The Elephant Man also made me properly bawl my heart out when I was a youngster.

Gorillas in the Mist absolutely floored me as a nipper, poor Digit.

Since my son was born I've become somewhat of an emotional pansy, so of late the first 10 mins of Up made me well up no end.

The end of Un Prophete had me going too when Malik is released from prison and greeted by Ryad's widow and son with Jimmie Dale Gilmour's extraordinary rendition of Mack the Knife playing in the background.

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence always makes me well up too, but I put this down to Ryuichi Sakamoto's evocative soundtrack, which brings tears to my eyes when I listen to the CD.

There's probably tons more, but I've already dented my street cred considerably.

Rocky 4, when Apollo Creed dies. And Rocky Balboa when Rocky goes the distance.

I'm a sucker for an underdog story.

oh yeah, ROCKY. when mickey leaves rockys apartment and walks lonely down the street accompanied by bill contis magnificent piano score and rocky comes running after him..sigh!

Third entry for the elephant man folks, in particular the part when he's locked in the cage and the monkey is kicking off beside him. What he has to endure is heartbreaking.

It doesn't take much to make me cry (or at least shed a tear) when I watch a film... Any crappily sentimental Disney-esque shit with dying animals and big eyed kids will do it. But I don't think making an audience teary counts for much. Making them laugh. Now there's a thing it takes some skill to accomplish. I cry when I get my bank statements but the author of those bank statements is a soulless fuck.

The Fountain, every time. Clint Mansell's most beautiful score ever energizes the romance and loss of this film like a power plant. Rachel Weiz is heartbreaking and no one can cry like Hugh Jackman.

If I were an actor and I needed to get to an emotion place, The Fountain would do the trick every time.
