what films have made you cry?

Whether you think cinema died with Hitchcock or only got good once Michael Bay started blowing up helicopters, this is the place where moving pictures are discussed.

    I'm a guy and:

    Click at the end when he dies, makes me cry loads

    Finding Nemo when nemo's dad is too small to swim away from the reef and he cant save his son

    I am Legend, when the dog dies :'(

    Toy story 3, when they're about to get melted

    The Fountain, if you really grasp what this film is about it is truly amazing,
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fountain_(film)

    he happens to be a neuroscientist, and his wife is dying of a brain tumour, but neglects spending his last weeks with her trying to find a cure for her.

    the best acting from Hugh Jackman and Rachel weiz.


    having watched avatar recently I realise while massively over hyped it is much better the second time, and it's pretty sad at some points (destroying the tree)

    Love and Other Drugs
    One Day

    Those are the only films I've ever dried about. Love and Other Drugs made me cry because I was going through a bad patch with my illness and the guy in it cared so much for her even though she was sick. My boyfriend used to quote him to me when I felt sad, that made me cry even more I cried at One Day just out of shock, I was not expecting the ending! :L (Yes, I love Anne Hathaway )

    I cried like a baby at the end of Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
    I always cry when the farmer sings to the pig in Babe.
    Into the Wild.
    The end of Les Choristes.
    An American Crime made me cry throughout however it's one of the best films I've seen.
    Persuit of Happiness
    and Dobby's death

    "The Elephant Man" made me cry when I first watched it. It makes me grateful for the everyday things I can do.
    that part where they all chase him down and he says something like "i'm not an animal im a human being" I actually broke down crying.

    I also remember welling up at Forrest Gump when Jenny died. The poor sod loved her with everything he had yet she lived the life of a party animal and a whore. Really felt for him.

    Okay, I really havent seen Titanic in ages - which dream bit?
    The very, very end when shes dreaming (or she might be dead I'm not sure haha) and shes back on the Titanic and she sees Jack waiting on the stairs, he takes her hand and then they kiss. This is immediatley followed with the cheesy theme song and the credits

    18 and I've never watched Titanic, though not sure I want to after the amount of people that have mentioned it on this thread!
    No it is a good film but I can't promise that you won't cry
