Movie Moments that Make You Cry

[Deleted]

I searched in the Movies thread for this and did not find one. I hope that's OK by the mods.
For me the scene in the 6th Sense with Toni Collette and Joel Osment when he tells his mom that her motherwas proud of her every single day

Also the last scene from Brokeback Mountain - the scene where Ennis carasses the shirts and says "Jack, I swear.."

From the top of my head, the last scene of Life as Beautiful, when the little guy says to his mother "We won! We won!" while his father was shot. *sobs*

Also the last scene from the movie The Gift, when Giovanni Ribisi's character tells Kate Blanchett " I will always love you..." Brilliant scene

For me, it's the clown face Benigni puts on as the guards lead him away, when he knows he's about to be shot. Holy shit. I'm sitting here at work getting all misty about it.

I also get a little weepy at the end of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (shut up), at Chow Yun-Fat's final words to Michelle Yeoh. Every single time.

I know The Joy Luck Club is a tearjerker, but I'll be damned if it wasn't a successful one. When the sisters re-unite, that line about "On that day, I learned to shout," the dead baby -- damn you Amy Tan!!

I was a mess at the end of Big Fish because the dad reminded me of my grandfather.

And finally, my weird one: Billy Elliot. I found the ending, with that Swan Lake finale, slightly disturbing, like he's all grown up and he'll never have his childhood back. I know that's not the message I'm supposed to take away from the movie, but I couldn't help it (I was also facing some major transitions at that point in my life, so I think it got to me for that reason too.)

Good lord, I'm a baby.

Ok, I'm pathetic but Beaches never ceases to do it for me. I start crying when the little girl goes to get her suitcase to visit CeeCee and comes back and Barbara Hershey looks like a corpse and is splayed out on the floor causing little Victoria to scream and start shaking screaming "Mommy, get up! I don't know what to do!"

Buckets. Just sobbing. For Christ's sake. Her mom is dying. I'm not made of stone, people.

The Joy Luck- I know it's manipulative. "Best quality heart"

Everything that happens in the entire second half of In America. At the end of that movie, my friend and I both were slumped over the seats in front of us, sobbing uncontrollably. I've never been more of a mess in my life.

Oh another one. Might not have been a perfect movie and know that I was very young when I saw it, but I cried so much when I first saw The Champ. The last scene when the boy is sitting at his dead father's bed.*sniff, sniff*

The first time I watched Steel Magnolias, I cried from the point where Julia Roberts died to the end of the movie.

Given my animal obsession, I think it's pretty obvious what almost all my films would be about....

As a kid, when Bambi's mother died, I sobbed and sobbed. As an adult, the one thing guaranteed to depress me for days is the true story of Pharlap. I get sniffly just thinking about the magnificient, legendary giant stumbling while being frantically walked around, after being poisoned by evil ratbastards. When his faithful trainer/groomer has part of his dying body on his lap and strokes Pharlap's neck while sobbing...

Any film where a beloved animal dies makes me whimper and run off to hug my Kafka but Pharlap.... nothing is more depressing to me, ever.

Parts of the Black Stallion still make me misty-eyed today. Same with SeaBiscuit. The part where the injured Seabiscuit is greeted by the injured Tobey Maguire, both with casts on their leg, and then Seabiscuit gently noses TM's neck with a whuffling, loving greeting and TM buries his face in SeaBiscuit's neck.... Waaaaaaa.

*runs off to find some hankies and to think of the national memorial to Pharlap*
