in random order:

-Life as a house(reminder of my own upbringing)
-I am Sam(Sean Penn, Michelle Pfeiffer and Dakota Fanning did such great jobs)
-Digging to China(Kevin Bacon is great, and the very young Evan Rachel Wood is amazing)
- Lion King(cried like a baby the first time, and tears roll down even today)
- Braveheart(the freedom-speeches, father's death, his wife's death and finally the whole ending, from Wallace getting tortured to Robert the Bruce deciding to continue to fight)

Must add what's eating Gilbert Grape, The man without a face, finding neverland, the green mile and shawshank redemption..just the one I remember right now.

Okay, these are crying movies that I enjoy (there are a few that just depressed me, and I never want to see them again, like "We Are Marshall" and "28 Days").

My top 5 Cry Movies:

1. Dead Poet's Society
: It's my all-time favorite film, so even if I don't cry during most of it, it's still number 1!
But anyway, when Neil kills himself, and Todd falls onto the snow crying so much that he almost becomes sick... And the ending, when all those boys stand on their desks... that was just beautiful.

2.Forrest Gump
: The first time I saw it, the last half hour I sobbed into clumps of tissues! It was ridiculous! The ending is just so sad, happy, and beautiful.

3. Good Will Hunting
: "It's not your fault."

4. The Elephant Man
: I am really surprised no one has yet mentioned this! I especially lost it when Dr. Treves's (Anthony Hopkins) wife was so cordial to John Merrick (a.k.a. "Elephant Man"), and he started sobbing. When Treves asked what was wrong, Merrick replied (something like this) in his weak voice, "Forgive me. It's just that I've never been treated so kindly... by such a beautiful woman." And then he starts sobbing again. Joseph Merrick (his real name) was so sweet, without a mean bone in his body, and still treated so horribly by society just because of how he looked.
It's a terrible coincidence that "The Elephant Man" had to go against Robert DeNiro for "Raging Bull," otherwise I'm sure John Hurt would've won the Best Actor Oscar!

5. Life As a House
: "I wasn't trying to get you to like me. I was trying to get you to love me."
"Well, congratulations, 'cause you *beep* pulled it off!"


Other cry movies (in no particular order):

"In America" (practically the whole thing)

"Antwone Fisher" (most of his childhood abuse flashbacks, especially when he was molested by Nadine)

"Life is Beautiful" (almost the entire time they were at the concentration camp)

"Hotel Rwanda" (when people were being machetied (sp?), and when on-the-verge-of-giving-up Don Cheadle said, "Are you going to shoot me? ... I will pay you to shoot my family!")

"Crash" (when the little girl got shot)

"Uptown Girls" (this one was shocking, I didn't expect most of it to be so sad!)

"Paper Clips" (truly touching Holocaust documentary)

"The Sixth Sense" (practically the whole thing--I found it more sad than scary)

"Edward Scissorhands" (when he tried to hold Winona Ryder)

"Castaway" (WILSON!!! )

"The Shawshank Redemption" (Brooks, and the man-rape stuff)

"The Mighty" (the ending)

"King Kong" 2005 (the ending... poor Kong)

"Braveheart" (the execution)

"The Passion of the Christ" (not for the faint of heart--the whole movie is emotional)


*Honorable mention: "The Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring" (made me cry in the theatre when I was ten, when Gandalf and Boromir died)



Whenever I climb, I am followed by a dog called Ego.
--Nietzsche

1. Passion of the Christ
2. The Green Mile
3. House of Sand and Fog

Ive decided to change some...deffo going for the notebook and atonement now. They made me sob like a baby!

Pay It Forward (the end is just way too depresssing, after such an uplifting movie.)
Ladder 49 (the funeral scene.)
I Am Sam (when they take Sam away.)
My Girl (when Thomas Jay dies.)
Selena (when Selena's family finds out she dies, and the candlelight vigil.)
Man On Fire (the end.)
Castaway (when Wilson floats away.)
A Walk To Remember (the end when Landon is staring into the water.)
Wicker Park (the end when they reunite.)


And when I was a kid, I'd always cry during Aird Bud, when the boy ditches the dog on the island and the dog can't swim...
