That's because you're dumb and don't know anything about history.
"Get off my plane!!!"
- President Harrison Ford Air Force One
lugeeuh:
I have grandparents who died in a Lithuanian ghetto, and other lost relations whom the blackshirts killed amid the bitter snows of Russia, and yet I didn't cry while watching this movie either. Nor did I cry watching Grave of the Fireflies. Still, you'd probably consider me a wuss, since I did cry watching Shoah, Claudio Lanzman's documentary about the Holocaust, which featured many interviews with camp survivors.
And there is almost always a holocaust going on in the world against someone. There is always some group targeted for misery and extinction and deserving of our help.
I wouldn't expect a kid in the eighth grade to cry watching tragic films. In the first place, no thirteen-year-old boy wants to seem weak. In the second, suffering probably hasn't become real for him yet -- not other people's suffering, anyway. He and his family are still the center of his universe.
If you're a sociopath, then you'll continue not being affected by such things into old age. But that's unlikely. It's more probable that, little by little, things will happen to you as you mature that will make loss and tragedy more real. Then, when you watch a movie or read a book, the people you've lost and the tragedy you've witnessed in your lifetime will connect with what happens to people in stories, and the effect will feel more emotional than it does now.

8th grade, WOW! You're such a badass! Why don't you go fondle yourself to a football game? Jackass.
shareCrash - girl getting "shot".. I cried during that too, because of the shock it gave me when I actually thought she was getting shot. Think of it this way, if you cut the scene so that you didn't see her alive afterwards; then it would really be one of the saddest scenes ever
The ending of American History X, I'm not gonna spoil it.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, you know which scene I mean if you've seen it.
"The Thin Ice" and "Another Brick in the Wall Part 1" sequences in The Wall.
In Irreversible, when you see that she's pregnant.
Last movies seen:
La Vita è Bella
Detroit Rock City - 8/10
G.I. Jane - 6/10
The end of MERRY CHRISTMAS, MR. LAWRENCE
The end of FIELD OF DREAMS
The end of E.T.
The end of OF MICE AND MEN (The 1939 version)
The abandonment scene of A.I.
To be honest, numerous movies have made me cry. But not LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
Oh, I just thought of one that goes to the top of my list:
The scene in SHADOWLANDS between Anthony Hopkins and the boy in the attic.
So right about Irreversible.
Leon - obviously at the end, but for some reason when he get's out the dress he's bought for her and he's sooo excited and she pretends she's not bothered - I usually have to stop the film there so that I don't miss the rest!
Dumbo - when mummy Dumbo rocks Dumbo in her trunk through the bars of her cage. My dad always crys at that scene.
The Bridges of Madison County - when she sits there with her hand on the door handle, and you both know it's her last chance...
An Affair to Remember - when he goes into her drawing room at the end and sees the painting.
Steel Magnolias - Sally Field amazing emotional outburst that changes from devastation to desperation to wild rage in seconds
I was just about to start crying when the little girl got "shot" in Crash, then I realized what had really happened and felt like a complete idiot lol.

Are you by any chance a fan of Edward Furlong?
shareBraveheart. When Mel Gibson is executed.
shareThe end of 'La Vita e Bella' - obviously! But besides that...
- 'In the Name of the Father' - when Jerry Conlon and the others are released, oh God this gets me every time.
- When Mick gets assassinated at the end of 'Michael Collins'. For anyone who hasn't noticed - it's actually a very young Jonathon Rhys-Mayers who's his assassinator.
- 'The Way We Were' - oh that hurt. But why Barbara and Robert, why?!!
- 'Romeo and Juliet' - oh how I wept
- In 'The Wind that Shakes the Barley' - at the start where the British soldiers kill a young man for speaking in Irish, in front of his mother and sister. I actually thought that I would have to walk out of the cinema, I was crying so much!
And so many more... I think the last one I cried at was 'Once', the Irish film that won at Sundance.
Good thread, but I do feel a little depressed after posting
Oh, man, I can't decide. I got all teary at the end of La Vita e Bella, which sucked because I watched it in school.

Saddest movies ever?
Schindler's List (I cried my way through pretty much the whole movie, mainly out of shock and despair)
Brokeback Mountain (It may be the "Gay Cowboy Movie", but if you look past that, it's just a heartbreaking love story)
The Constant Gardener (The whole movie was really sad, but the last scene was just incredible)
Finding Neverland (Sad in a different way, almost--it's not really looking for the big shock, and it doesn't seem angled to pull the heartstrings. It's just completely naturalistic and thus sad in a very gentle, beautiful way)
And of course Life is Beautiful.
--
"[I think of it as] Dancing with eyes half-closed because to open them would break the spell"
I agree with the whole 'Brokeback Mountain' thing Red. I thought it was subtle yet so painful to watch. The ending wasn't hugely dramatic, but it was so moving.
shareFor me...
Titanic...when the band is playing "Nearer my God to Thee" horrible sadness
Life is Beautiful...when the father is shot
Crash...when the "good" gangsta was shot in th4e "good" cop's car.
Paths of Glory....when the men are being led to the firing squad.
All Quiet on the Western Front...when the protagonist is killed reaching for a butterfly.
Sophie's Choice....when Stingo is reading "Ample Make This Bed" at the end.
Gladiator...when he meets his family in the golden afterlife.
Many more, but these are the tops on my list.
I have to agree with titanic at that same scene in all versions gets me everytime.
Zulu similarly when they all start singing
Life is Beautiful- when father gets shot
i know this is stupid but a lot of films where they are fleeing and leave behind their dog.

I was in English class when I first saw this movie, and we had just finished reading Night by Elie Wiesel, and I would have started balling if it not for my fellow class mates all around me. However, I think some of them were wanting to cry too. (*SPOILERS*) My favorite moments are when Guido takes her home from the opera and they have a very romantic evening, when he takes her from the engagment party on the horse, when he and Joshua get on the loud speaker and calls her Princepessa, when we puts the music out the window and it's the same song from the opera and she goes to the window and you can tell she is just reminising on that night and she knows hes out there (*tear), when he takes Joshua back to the barracks and he says he will make love to Dora two or three times (lol my class were like wow, my teacher an older woman said well you have to remember how long he's been in the camp now children! lmao), and at the end where he finally gets the tank and gets back to his mother and he's yelling MAMA! MAMA! MAMA!..........And of course the saddest moment is when Joshua sees his father alive for the last time and he winks at him and still holds up the act right up until the end and then the guard takes him around the corner and shoots him like 7 times (*MANY tears). Omg I thought I was going to start crying riht in the middle of class it was just so sad. I think the guy who played Guido is just superb and I would love to see more of his stuff.
Side Note: THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
