Saddest film

[shazzabell]

Name a movie that's reduced you to tears?

[EssJay1]

Just one???

The last one which left me totally washed out was "Finding Neverland"

But I also avoid "Steel Magnolias" "Fried Green Tomatoes..." " Step Mom" " While you were sleeping" "A Matter of Life and Death"

My son cried at "Con Air" !!!

[silly moo]

Add 'Love Story' to the previous list.

[Morrisonker]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind always makes me cry, it's not particularly sad, just wistful and bittersweet.

And Sophie's Choice.  Oh my god, if anyone can watch that heartbreaking scene without getting sniffley they have no heart at all.

[kags]

The Bridges of Madison County - doesn't reduce me to tears so much as turns me into a sobbing wreck!

[madnbad]

the film I am Sam.

[Mrs_Pegasus]

Watership Down (its the bit when Hazel goes!)

Champions (John Hurt & Aldaniti)

Love Always (every feeling of love)

[JinxtheCat]

The Color Purple. I wept buckets.

And Disney's Pinocchio. I'm sorry but it such a tragic tale.

[Philtaz]

The Green Mile.

[Ouisch]

I'm with Philtaz - I sobbed through the last half hour of the Green Mile.

 

Two oldies that reduce me to tears:  Imitation of Life starring Lana Turner, and Stella Dallas starring Barbara Stanwyck.  If you're ever in the mood for a good cry, either one of these will fit the bill.

[Dark Angel]

 

"The Champ" - when the hero dies.  

"Man, Woman and Child" - when the dad says goodbye to his illegitimate son.

"Thornbirds" - when the priest dies at the end.

"Indecent Proposal" when estranged husband and wife reconcile.  

[Haj]

From that list I definately concur with The Champ - my God i'd forgotten how much I cried at that film!!

Also The Thorn birds a bit, Steel magnolias a bit, The green Mile quite a bit.

But! The biggest tear jerker ever has got to be ET surely!!

[Robble]

Magnolia makes me cry like a girl every time. Especially the bit where they all sing the 'Wise up' song.

Getting a bit teary just thinking about it....

[Robble]

...and if my girlfriend is reading this I was NOT crying at Extreme Makeover Home Edition. There was just something in my eye ok! Ahem....

[maximo]

The Schindler List ( just thinking about the little girl in red coat makes my chin tremble still ), the Pianist, Gladiator, Rain Man, The Green Mile... and lots of others... (I 've been known to cry in front of the Little house in the prairie as well )

[acw]

Edward Scissorhands. 

 

Top Gun - but only the 3rd time (first two times I was too young, 4th time onwards the effect was lost). 

[spudqueen]

Oh my god, it's probably easier to name one film I HAVEN'tT cried at! One's I have cried at:

Love Actually, The Abyss, Cocoon, Brief Encounter, The Goonies, Song of the South, ET, Camelot, The Shop Around the Corner, Die Hard (I get teased mercilessly about that), and the one which had me weeping buckets and unable to function properly was The Search, a brilliant film starring Montgomery Cliff and set just after the end of world war II.

My husband still laughs about the time he was channel hopping, BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV, and by that time I was in tears, when he asked what was wrong I said I thought it was 'that film' on BBC 2, he couldn't believe I was crying and wasn't even sure it was 'that film', but it was, Penny Serenade, a black and white film starring Cary Grant. I can almost make myself cry just thinking about Penny Serenade and The Search!

[Robinia]

Oh heck, most of the above especially Bridges of Madison County...pass the tissues please kags. 

 Has anyone mentioned The Shawshank Redemption? I can't see for all this sobbing!

[hopalong]

The Green mile

[Insurgent]

Philadelphia, Revenge, The English Patient, The Color Purple, Legends of the Fall, Cinema Paradiso, Gallipoli, Doctor Zhivago, Life is Beautiful, Forrest Gump (Yes i said it).

Although a poor Bond outing, On Her Majesty's Secret Service had a emotional ending.

I admit the first time I watched Terminator 2 I had a lump in my throat when he was lowered into the boiling metal, how geeky is that?
