Nothing to do with being British... must be a man thing!

These make me cry, hard:

Dear Frankie
Keys To The House
Wilbur Wants To Kill Himself
Dangerous Minds
The Fisher King

I should add Dancer In The Dark. The moment you realize she is going blind, my tears begin.

The first time I saw this movie it took me a week to finish as I just couldn't take it, it made me feel so sad and yes, the tears would flow. I really can never watch this film again. It's so damn tragic.

I forgot Mask with Cher. "Now you can go anywhere you want baby." Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

I loved The Notebook. I love Robert Redford so any movie where he dies makes me reach for the Kleenex. The Great Gatsby is one of them. A Beautiful Life is another movie that got to me. Even, my hubby who never cries was moved by that movie.

fischer king
a perfect world
babe (

)
dead poets society
field of dreams
breaking the waves

...and a interviewvideo about the career of Marco Van Basten. Crying because of the beauty of his goals and the end of his career when even Fabio Capello bursts into tears when Marco says goodbye to a packed San Siro.

^ I forgot about Babe. "I want my mom."

GypsySorcerer · #42 04-10-2007, 03:28 PM

I definitely agree with "It's a Wonderful Life." The part that gets me is Harry's toast to George - "To my brother, the richest man in town." My eyes are welling up just thinking about it.

Others, scenes included (spoilers):

Field of Dreams: "Dad, wanna have a catch?"
Sling Blade: Karl says goodbye to the boy
The Hours: Ed Harris' character's suicide; Virgina Woolf lays down by the dead bird
Saving Private Ryan: Yes, I know Speilberg is manipulating us, but the death of Giovanni Ribisi's character gets me. "I want my mother."

Dead Man Walking - end
American Beauty - end sequence with Lester's narration

Many, many more...

omg. I know. dude. like-you can totally see her going off the deep end and you know that's how you would probably react. Or at least I would. It's not really when she's sad-it's when she gets mad "no!! NO! it wasn't supposed to happen this way!!" etc. those are the parts that always get me

oh yeah. I forgot about the notebook too. I didn't cry at the end. It was a little bittersweet. the part I cry on is right after she gets in the fight with her parents and he leaves. She goes out to the truck and they break up. Just-her. When she flips out, slaps him, and then realizes they are really breaking up. GOD. It also gets me after the boat ride. "it STILL isn't over!!!!"

but those are usually happy tears

irishgrl · #44 04-11-2007, 07:54 AM

Eight Below
Seventh Sign
Somewhere in Time (oldie with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour)

I'm not British (anglophile though) but I don't get a lot of these either!

Although... Awakenings, that one springs to mind..
