Movies that made you cry.
 
C'mon... we all have a few.

Mine:
Elephant Man- The scene where Marek is being taunted and chased by the people in the subway station, and he went on that monologue about being a human being got to me. As someone who has faced public ridicule and felt like a freak, that scene hit so close to home in such a beautiful way that I just couldn't help it. I didn't bawl... but I shed a tear or two.. fantastic scene in a fantastic movie.

Ikiru- That last scene where he's singing on the park swing in the rain... again, something so beautiful that its hard not to cry, its also pretty sad too.

I'll think of more later... those two jumped out immediately though.

!@#$%! 09.12.2010 05:35 PM

yeah ok ikiru, i'll def. give you that. good call btw.

Yeah, there's no right or wrong here. Its purely subjective.

Godamn dude.. Elaphant Man was horrible! (in terms of sadness)
I cried for the first Rugrats movie. I pretty sure I'm alone there..
On the other hand "Love is Gonna Let Me Down" (the song) by Toots And The Maytals has had me on the verge of tears several times

House of D. I dunno, that scene in the airport between Anton Yelchin and Robin Williams gets to me somehow.

The pianist was super depressing but I didnt cry. I almost laughed when the nazis threw the old man in the wheel chair out of the balcony...then i almost cried cuz i almost laughed...but nothing happened.

atsonicpark 09.12.2010 07:12 PM

great call on ikiru.

I cried at the end of millenium actress... I cried because hana-bi was so good... plenty of Japanese films and anime... grave of the fireflies..

tw2113 09.12.2010 07:14 PM

it's surprising how many movies almost get me going.

Count Mecha 09.12.2010 07:14 PM

I'll admit I had kind of the same reaction to The Pianist. Great powerful movie, and extremely depressing for the majority. And for the wheelchair scene I remember gasping in shock/terror but also vaguely chuckling and feeling extremely guilty afterward. So I really applaud that scene for making me go through a bunch of emotions really quickly.

Sad thing is that that's probably minor stuff that the Nazi's did back during those times

Hell, everything makes me cry--mostly when something is really beautiful.

the wind that shakes the barley
united 93

to name but two

I'm kind of surprised no one agrees with me about Elephant Man.... it seems like something that anyone who has ever felt like a freak or an outcast, or been ridiculed and/or bullied by a group couldn't help but be moved by.
