Hi. I just had a thought about how easy movies makes as laugh and how very few of them makes as really cry ( even we are fully mature man or woman). To make someone laugh some movies need 30 seconds or less ,but crying is totally different story.
WHICH MOVIES MAKES YOU REALLY CRY??> ( cos I'd like to see them too)
I cry when I see GLADIATOR (when maximums gives last instructions before death), GREEN MILE ( when cofy lets him electrocute) TITANIC ( when Rose is old and dreams she's back on titanic) THE ELEPHANT MAN ( when Joseph Merrick starts to cry when doctors wife is first women on earth who's not afraid to look into his crippled face) THREE KINGS (when they gave up their gold)
Pursuit of Happyness actually made me tear up a little bit... two scenes, the bathroom scene with his son, and near the end after he finds out that he got the job (celebrating among a sea of people). Each scene got me teary eyed for different reasons. Powerful stuff.
Second Blue Valentine. That's a film that rips your guts out if ever there was one.
I'm also going to throw The Fly and Dead Ringers into the ring. The Fly is my all time favorite film. Hands down one of the greatest love stories and tragedies of all time. It was a near impossible act to follow but Cronenberg did just that with Dead Ringers, among the most complex and emotional films in his oeuvre, in which there are already many complex and emotional films. My second all time favorite film, respectively. There was some magic going on 1986-88.
*Nights in Rodanthe - the whole 'Great Love' speech Adrienne gives Amanda, close to the end, always gets me. *My Girl - solid classic - when Vada searches for the ring. *Million Dollar Baby - when Maggie tells Frankie to kill her. *Romeo and Juliet (1996) - At the end when Romeo is walking towards Juliet in the church - the music for that is spot on and Leonardo's expression - oh - always brings a tear to the eyes.
Oh, and apparently when my mum took me to the movies to see The Neverending Story when I was 4 - I crawled under the seats and cried the place down when the horse died
Marley and Me. I don't CRY. But I did tear up at the end of it. You watch it and think "ah, funny dog comedy" and at the end you're like "whoa, this is deep".
Three things that will get me crying every time: Baseball, fathers and sons, Jack Nicholson crying. Field Of Dreams - "Hey, dad...you wanna have a catch?" (welling up just thinking of it) Frequency - "I'm still here, Scout." And whenever Nicholson cries, I cry: The Crossing Guard About Schmidt And, oh yeah, I was bawling like a baby at the end of Marley and Me.
Brian's Song (the original, not the remake, which was garbage) To Kill a Mockingbird Field of Dreams Sweet November (196 - saw it about 10 years ago, had to feign allergies

Yeah, that's the only film that really comes to mind for me, as well. The endings of films often hit me on an emotional level, but Pursuit of Happyness was one of the few that actually brought tears to my eyes. Both Water Lillies and Oslo August 31st brought some intense emotions to the surface, so that when I finished watching them I literally just stared at the credits, but I wasn't close to crying. Oh, and Stand By Me can sometimes get me, depending on what mood I'm in. If I'm in a nostalgic, reminiscing mood I often think back to all the friends I used to be super-close with when I was a kid, who are now "just another face in the hallway", so to speak.
