“wind struck” korean movie… When I first watched that movie, I thought it was a comedy, but then… Hiks… Just watch the movie… and don’t forget to put a box of tissue near you

The Green Mile-just watched it on TV and I was bawling by the end. That one comes around and punches you in the gut at the end with something that you’d totally forgotten about from the beginning. Where the Wild Things Are tore me up, which I totally didn’t expect. Any movie where a pet suffers or dies will do me in. And, of course, Steel Magnolias. Doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen it, I just can’t hold it together through Sally Field’s scene at the cemetery.

SWING KIDS!

I don’t cry THAT often while watching movies…but sometimes I’ll be in a weakened mental state and something like THE BUCKET LIST will get me.

Some movies that get me every time:
LAST OF THE MOHICANS
DEAD POETS SOCIETY
TITANIC (yes, indeed)

I definitely agree that all the movies I’ve seen which have been mentioned. Each one has made me cry. I can’t speak for the ones mentioned which I haven’t seen.

I would just like to point out an important omission. I thought surely this movie would be at the top of many people’s list. It came out when I was a kid (now in my mid 20’s) and it’s a guaranteed tear jerker every single time!

My Girl!

If you don’t cry at this movie, male or female, you simply don’t have a heart. lol.

Love Actually! (had to ask Hub: “ya know that Christmas movie with Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman and all the different story lines?” and he always knows the answer.) or About a Boy! and if you can find it, I most definitely recommend The Nephew starring Pierce Brosnan.
Also, I just cried during Walk the Line. A Prairie Home Companion had me in tears. and The Quiet Man! -give that one a try, for sure. and for another reach back: The Goodbye Girl with Marsha Mason and Richard Dreyfus.
But don’t watch In the Valley of Elah. – scary sad and real.

Last night I watched Gods and Monsters and was sobbing audibly by the end, not something I do much at all. I didn’t know it would be so sad. It’s not a chick flick, though; it’s about a gay man who survived WWI and went to Hollywood to make those early B&W Frankenstein movies, based on a true story.

I pretty much have cried for all these movies that have been mentioned that I’ve seen. I’ve realized that I also cry during most comedies. My fiance will look over at me during a movie and I will have tears running down my cheeks. Any sentimental scene where I’ve grown the characters, I’m down for the count.
Other good crying movies include: Pay It Forward, Moulin Rouge, Big Fish, Bridge to Terabithia (though the book is a better cryfest) … oh man, I want to go home and watch all these now.

I cried because I was sad in Titanic — it was that part where the band is playing and some of the passengers have realized that it’s hopeless. The mother is putting her kids to bed and the old couple have just laid down together.

I cried because I was happy at the end of a Korean movie called Marathon.

About Schmidt made me tear up when I saw it, and I almost NEVER do that. The ending was so sweet.

Also, just noticed you’re reading Never Let Me Go–I read it a few months ago, hope you enjoy it! It’s very interesting…not sure I like-liked it but it did make me think.
