This makes you totally sexy, now photowhore yourself please.

Oh my god. I can't list the films that make me cry. There are too many.
Basically I can cry at anything. People know i'm a crybaby.

Someone taught me that if you feel like you're going to cry, look diagonally up to the right as far as you can and it will stop the tears. It works! Now I do it all the time. Now people thing i'm a hard bitch

It's the music. It's like a character on it's own. But the end, where he is put in a beggar's grave. With the entire requiem sequence leading up to that.



And I cry from laughter because of SO many scenes in that movie.

The best, most beautiful moment is probably where Salieri explains about the majesty of Mozart's music, starting at 1:54 in this clip. Beautiful. Always was one of my favourite movements, ever, but seeing the movie pick THAT movement, it still breaks me.

The music;

Only two movies make me cry:

Glory: when Denzel's character gets whipped and that single tear runs down his face.

And this old black and white film called Imitation of Life: when a black woman's daughter, who is passing for white, turns up at her mothers funeral - there is Mahalia Jackson singing in the background and it gets me every time.

Gawd, I am playing it right now and I am already welling up.

GirlBrother said:

If this is the one I'm thinking of then Me too, not the opening scene but later...and I hate that it gets me every time I see it. I sit there and tell myself I am not gonna and the next thing I know my chins wet.

Edited, cause I noticed about 6 people mention Imitation of Life - I am glad it is not just me, cause I always feel so silly over crying when I know what's coming, but with so many other people listing this film it just proves that is a sad ass film so I shouldn't be ashamed anymore.

I know, me too. My sisters-in-law said that this scene makes them cry too.

I'm a cryer and I'm not ashamed of it.

The ending of "The Color Purple".

The ending of "Immitation Of Life".

The whipping scene with Levar Burton in "Roots".

The ending of the episode of "All In The Family" when Mike and Gloria are leaving and moving to California. Also, another episode of "All In The Family" when Divine is killed by gay bashers and Edith opens a Christmas gift after she's dead and reads the card and discovers it was from her.

Hell, several episodes of "Touched By An Angel" especially the one with the man on death row.

vainandy said:

OMG my mom LIIIIIVED for "Touched By An Angel" That shit will DEHYDRATE your ass.

Edith from All in the Family always makes me want to cry, for some reason.

I cry all the time at movies and I have cried over books. I guess thats what us passionate people do.

i just cried like crazy over the movie "the boy in the striped pj's", haven't cried over a movie like that in years! such a sad movie!

this one gets me every time.

I've been meaning to see that one - the book was good.

vivid said:

The book was definitely better than the film, but that's usually the case, nonetheless, it was the first time I experienced an entire audience being completely silent and remaining in their seats after the movie had finished.

MacDaddy said:

Ah. I saw Dancer In The Dark and that totally shocked viewers also.

The scene where Malcolm X(Denzel Washington) was heading to deliver his last speech while Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" is playing through the scene.

That scene hits home,,,,hard.

The funeral scene in Cooley High is just

I cry watching movies all the time, and sometimes I really let go and cannot stop.

Most recently I've cried at The Time Traveller's Wife, The Road, Seven Pounds, The Pursuit of Happyness, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Marley and Me (could not even watch the last half hour when I saw it a second time, having lost my dog in the time inbetween viewings), Eight Below, World Trade Centre, 50 First Dates, Crash, Vanilla Sky, The Green Mile, AI, Bicentennial Man, Goodbye Mr Chips.

Common themes seem to be are childhood lost, love lost or impossible love, friendship lost, uncontrollable passing of time/circumstance while main character stays same, dogs!. Oh Man! sometimes my wife, friends, family etc think I am a right sap but I just say let it all out. It does get a bit embarrassing in the cinema sometimes (espeically if it happens at the end) and I have to leave all red-eyed. At home watching a DVD I just go for it and sob uncontrollably.
