Fresh Question #58: Tear-soaked Popcorn

[Nightwing]

Greetings adventurers. It's new Fresh Question time, but this one isn't for the squeemish, partially because I can't spell "squeemish."

I strongly dislike this world's lack of communication and communication skills between people in our culture and society as a race. So right now I'm going to force some of it. Straight out, I want to know:

What is the title of a movie you saw that moved you to tears??


Blurting out every thought and feeling you have is dangerous, but so is bottling them up. Talk to me!

[redDragon]

Grave of the Fireflies. Although I watched it in Chinese and basically understood only half of it, it's a really depressing movie. What happens to the two main characters is so sad.

Made me cry everytime watching that little girl have to suck/eat stones just to survive, and she dies too if I remember correctly. I haven't watched it in a long time just because it is a very depressing movie.

[Conekiller]

My Girl:

not when Culkin died, but during the poem Anna Chlumsky read, that and I was like.....12

a coupla almosts:

LOTR Return of the King:
a bunch of times
When Sam carried Frodo, when Gollum was plummeting to his death, and when Sam got married.

Mahoromatic

when Mahoro comes to the grips that she is infact, going to die. she has dreams of herself vomitting up lots of blood(oil?) and machine pieces also. really powerful stuff.

[The Dork Knight]

Jack with Robin Williams is the only movie that has made me cry.

- The Dork Knight

[purplehairedwonder]

Jack with Robin Williams is the only movie that has made me cry.

- The Dork Knight
That made me cry too!

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
I cried a whole bunch of times... When Gollum turned Frodo against Sam and they went on, leaving Sam alone. When Sam carried Frodo up Mt. Doom. When Aragorn became king and Arwen showed up and they kissed. When Frodo got on the boat and left for the undying lands. Probably more times than that.

Hardball
When G-Baby got shot in the gang fight and died

Tuck Everlasting
When Jesse comes back to the forest and finds Winnie's grave

Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal (well, they were OVAS, but close enough)
Mostly after Kenshin killed Tomoe and the scene where he is sitting in the graveyard against the tree and her "spirit" comes behind him and wraps her arms around him.

[Joker85]

Pay it Foward
Old Yeller
Jack
Return of the King
umm...I'm sure there are others. In fact I know there are a bunch others. I just can't think of them right now. When I do I'll let ya know.

[Lord Dalek]

Deep Impact
LOTR:ROTK

[Zombies8MDingo]

My Life with Michael Keaton, anyone who does not at least suck back a few tears watching this has no soul

[Frank Castle]

Spider-Man
The end of Spider-Man when Peter tells MJ that he can't love her.

And if videogame movies count it would have to be FF X-2.
When Tidus and Yuna get shot while Yuna sings 1000 words in the background.

[Joker85]

My Life and Deep Impact. There are two that I forgot. I told you there were a bunch more.

[MAXIMUS]

Awakenings with Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams

Return of the King
Jack

[Rune]

The one everyone loves to hate 'A. I. Artificial Intelligence' I blubbed when David's 'mom' dumps him in the woods and then more or less all the way through it to the movie's end from the point where he's trapped in the underwater car and praying for the Blue fairy to make him real. I still can't watch it without crying.

Das Boot -when the boat's heading for the bottom of the Med and they can't pull her out of her dive and then the scene of the ruined boat and the captain right at the very end

Monsters Inc - when Sulley says bye to Boo with tears in his eyes and she says 'Kitty?'.

The Lion King - Simba finding Musafa's body.

Too many movies do it for me, Run Wild Run Free, Kez, Casablanca, K-Pax, etc I'm a horribly sentimental sap at heart :sad:

[Scythemantis]

The Brain from Planet Arous.

[/obligatory bizarre answer]

But seriously, just the other day, Big Fish.

I am Sam made me cry a little too, but not as much.

[Lucky Bob]

Life Is Beautiful.

No explaination needed.

[electricsheep]

Gia gets me every time I see it...

[Caffeine King]

I also cried at the end of Hardball, ALMOST! (Though, I was only 10 or 11 so...)

The ending of Monster's INC was sad too. :( "Kitty?" :( :( :(

It's so pitiful and pathetic and sad! :(

Hardball is the only one and it was when I was 11. :sweat:

I'm not as soft as compared to some others in this thread. (No offense. :sweat: )

I don't see how you could of cried during ROTK. :sweat:

I was kinda just annoyed and mad at Gollum for what he did.

The ending was sad, though, but not enoguh to push me to tears. :p :)

[Tanooki]

i'm glad i'm not the only one who got choked up when they saw "jack". that was a great movie. i saw it in the theatre with my mom and younger sister and all the way home my sister cried "i don't want to get old!!! whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" classic

Falcon

[Tim Vee]

Big Fish. Everybody in the theater was crying over that one.

[Spastic Minnow]

Director Lars von Trier loves making you feel horrible:

Breaking the Waves is absolutely heartwrenching, a tragic ending that's almost Shakespearean in it's devastation.

Dancing in The Dark also had me sobbing but unlike Breaking the Waves it's much more transparently manipulative and may make you mad that you've let von Trier play you like a violin. Bjork is brilliant though.

[Roger Smith]

what person does sam gets marry..
and the movie that made me cry was!
Hardball
Monter Inc and
We where heroes
also saving soldier ryan

[Patrick Bateman]

The Lord of the Rings: ROTK - (Most of the big Frodo/Sam stuff, and Legolas and Gimli preparing to die as friends)
Spider-Man - (Uncle Ben's death)
E.T. - (All the stuff that went on with E.T. and Elliott after the government got involved)
Superman II (Clark getting beat up in the bar, and realizing what being human is)
Terminator 2 (The thumbs up from the Terminator to John Connor while being destroyed as the heroic theme plays)

[Mek]

My Life with Michael Keaton, anyone who does not at least suck back a few tears watching this has no soulYES! Gah, that movie just has me in tears everytime I watch it. ;_;

'Finding Nemo' also makes me cry too, but in a good way at the end.

Oh, and 'Cyborg 009: Legend of the Super Galaxy' when...
Princess Tamara died. :( And right after the cyborgs saved her and her people too. I was in tears after seeing that. ;_;

[Spastic Minnow]

My Life with Michael Keaton, anyone who does not at least suck back a few tears watching this has no soul
Needed: One soul

MY LIFE SUCKS

I like to say that as both a joke and a sincere opinion of that sappy movie. If you don't cry at that one it's because the entire movie is a setup for the inevitable.

Okay, how about The Elephant Man? That'll get ya, gauranteed.

[Morpheus]

The End of Big Fish and Lord of the Rings.

[Ruffian]

Heh, it's embarrassing the kind of movies that make me cry. Pretty much anything that has a kid or a dog or both can tear me up no problem. Just watching a clip of Lassie in a collie dog documentary on Animal Planet made me cry, to the point where I had to turn off the television.

- A Little Princess
Just heartbreaking scene after scene. The ending was major waterworks.

- Air Bud
Heh, I won't say.

- Old Yeller
I don't think I need to say...

- Monsters, Inc.
The end with the clipboard scene. Very moving.

- Toy Story 2
Not really cried, but I was very teary during the "When She Loved Me" flashback.

[James]

End of LOTR: ROTK - it was mirroring a stage in my life as the fellowship parted - especially the Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli. We saw the start of their adventure and now the end. I saw it in Edinburgh where me and my two closest friends were finishing our semester together before saying goodbye as they returned to their own countries. For that reason, it was hard to watch. I miss both my friends dearly.

Groundhog Day - I was suffering from what the Americans call Mono and what the Brits call Glandular Fever - and it was a really emotional rollercoaster. I recall coming out of this movie with my then girlfriend in tears. I love films which deal with any path to enlightment. God knows how many years Murray`s character suffered that day, but the result was a slow exploration of the soul and focus on improvement and learning. The result was a man devoid of the impurities and negativities that plague us all. What was left was a good man. I found that a touching concept then - I still do. I just don`t blub over it.

Star Trek Generations: Come on, Kirk was my hero since I was a nipper - his death was painful for me... as was the scenes with Data.

Blade Runner: Infamous final scene. I don't care what some say, it is a fantastic ending - both with and without voice over.

I am sure there are many more but I can't think of them at the moment...
