Movies That Make You Cry

sooo I was randomly crying (I can't imagine how I'll be on hrt!) and it made me think of this question. What movies make you cry?

For me the biggest two were

Up

Metropolis (old silent movie)

but I do some other times too (It will feel more natural after transition)

I also had the habit of crying for the bad guys in kids movies when I was younger.

AAAAnyway what movies make you cry?

Hah! I cry over episodes of the Simpsons sometimes. One that really gets me sobbing is Seven Pounds.

Any movie with a lot of emotion will get me going though.

I have little kids so this can happen a few times a week or even day :)

Yes...the first few minutes of Up. OMG! Every time. Im glad I haven't seen it since I had my meds upped.

And I tear up when Nemo's mommy dies trying to protect her eggs even though you don't see it.

At the end of "Saving Private Ryan," the scene at the gravesite had me crying like a baby.

Same thing happened during the final episode of "Lord of the Rings," when all the people at the ceremony bowed to the Hobits in tribute.

I'm tearing up just thinking about that scene. Geez! ;)

I don't really cry at films really. They have to be REALLY sad and either be a true story that is sad or have something to do with suicide.

One film that got my heart a little, I didn't cry, but almost welled up was Blood diamond when a character dies.

Another film that got my heart much more intensely than Blood Diamond was Constant gardener. It's an amazing movie but I found it to be very sad. :( Again it made me well up, but possibly more so than blood diamond did.

Another film that got me was a film called Boy A. It's about a boy who in his youth befriended another boy who was being abused by his brother. This boy reacted to that by becoming somewhat 'evil' as in killing animals, finding pleasure in others pain. It took a turn and he killed a girl, Boy A was there (he calls himself Jack in the movie) and I think somewhat joined in, possibly out of fear from his friend. Who really knows. He had a tough childhood too, his mother dying from cancer and a father that didn't seem to really care about him. He'd go home beaten up and his father wouldn't even notice the black eyes. Nor his mother who was lying in bed, but then she was dying so maybe that excuses her a little. He is released from prison and changes his name to Jack his original name is Eric. Jack gets exposed when after an act of heroism. I won't give away the ending in case anyone choose to watch it, but needless to say the ending is sad. It's a gritty film, nothing very glamorous about the film. Which helps it portray a realism about it, which is what I liked about it as well as the story it self.

One movies I saw that always makes me cry alot is a holiday movie called, The Christmas Shoes.

It is based on the song by the group Newsong.

The name of the song is the same as the movie and it makes me cry to when I hear it.

I am a complete sap when it comes to movies. Here's my list...

Pan's Labyrinth

Marley & Me

Toy Story 2

Prayers For Bobby

Those are just a few of the recent ones. There's so many, I can't remember them all, but I am known to cry at Pixar films and Disney cartoons.

Omg, I CAN'T watch that movie. Cannot. It reminds me too much of when my dog died last year, and it's like...physically painful for me to even think about it.

Will Smith's a fantastic actor.

My list, short as it is. For the record, I hate this near-vendetta for crying so I try to avoid sad stuff and stick to horror flicks/comedy.

-What Dreams May Come. Every. Time. It's an incredible movie. If you haven't seen it, you should definitely give it a shot, it's...it's just beautiful.

-SLC Punk. Best crying scene I've ever seen in a movie.

-Too Won Foo. It's silly because it IS a comedy movie, but at the end, I always tear up.

-Dead Poet's Society.

-RENT

-Boondock Saints, the first time I saw it.

That's all I can think of.

I love all the Pixar movies and Sarah reminded me of TS3. OMG. That ending was just evil emotionally. But other than the shut down I don't remember anything but mostly hope and joy during Wall-E. Now in a few years when my kids are older and I think back to my youngests first Halloween and my oldest dressed as Wall-E...ah crap...ok. Yeah...he's gonna make me cry now too but for different reasons.

Schindler's List. Nothing bothered me untill the ending wth the guilt Oscar had comparing his property to being able to save more lives.

I rember crying from The Fox and Hound as a kid, but after that there's not very many movies that get me choked up.

For me, I would have to list:

Love Story

Away From Her (Canadian film by Sara Polly)

Ladder 49 (the ending gets to me, every time)

Penny Serenade (Cary Grants stars in it)

West Side Story (When Maria is holding Tony's body)

      I am glad your schools are flush with excess spending money, but that is not the situation here in CA.  Back in 1978 an Initiative and Referendum law was passed that limited property taxes severely and basically cut funding from Property Taxes to pennies of the amounts needed to even minimally fund school districts.  Even the U.S. Supreme Court which upheld the law on Federal and Constitutional grounds nevertheless wryly commented in its decision that the state electorate had lost its collective mind in enacting the law.  Our schools are funded through the State's General Fund which receives other tax sources for creating the entire state budget. The General Fund and the legislature try to give  adequate funding  to the primary and secondary school districts as well as college districts and other obligations all from the same limited funds. There are also strict limits on assessing property taxes that actually prevent them from paying for other services directly affecting property ownership which is their proper place, and so even property related services come from our General Fund. Your property tax money seems to be ear-marked for schools which is wonderful and I hope they use it according to your thoughts, but as said we have a different problem out here in CA.  I love my state but do recognize its short comings.  Point of information, the tax law that is creating problems came from the same small area of the state as the proposed referendum on Trans Youth.

      The numbers of those negatively affected are significant and discouraging, but the good news is that "over half" of Trans youth live in safe states, and such states do exist.

      Seems like a reasonable agreement.  Seattle stays out of Texas, Texas stays out of Seattle.  Weird that the Seattle hospital had a business license in Texas...

      Seems to me the time and cost is already being spent....on lawsuits.  And schools are absolutely flush with cash, at least around here.  They get enough property taxes, they need to learn appropriate use of funds.  Buy a few less computers and a few more bathrooms, and spend less time on athletics and I'd bet you a hamburger that the issue would be solved in a year.   To me, it seems like the whole bathroom thing is like lancing a boil or a cyst.  A sharp initial pain, and done. People are just resistant to doing it.      I think I could solve most of it...but politicians get too much press off of this to want it solved.   1.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private bathrooms 2.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private spaces for changing athletic clothes 3.  Emphasize co-ed rather than gendered sports.  Focus on physical activity, good sportsmanship, and having FUN.  Lifelong enjoyment, not just competition. 4.  Ban for-profit athletic programs at highschool and college levels, and ban betting/gambling related to athletic programs at educational institutions. 5.  Affirm parental rights consistently, rather than treating it like a salad bar.  That means permitting gender-affirming healthcare with parental consent, AND prohibiting schools keeping secrets from parents.  Adopt the "paperwork principle."  If it is on paper, parents 100% have a right to know about it and be informed on paper, including names/pronouns if such are documented.  If it is verbal only, it is informal enough to be overlooked or discussed verbally if needed.

      It would work better, but the issue will always be time and cost, unless a school district is building a new school.  Districts everywhere are short on infrastructure funds, so it's not a realistic solution in most cases.   Carolyn Marie

      I have always thought that the solution to the bathroom question (as well as improved bathroom quality/privacy for everybody) would be individual, gender-neutral, locking bathrooms.  Not this wacky thing we insist on doing with stalls.  It wouldn't take much more space, really.  And it might actually work better.  Ever notice how there's often a line at the door of the women's room, but plenty of free space in the men's?  Yet the men's and women's bathrooms are usually of equal size/capacity?

      I'm going to have to stop staying up so late at night...  Its after midnight, so technically morning.  So, Good Morning, y'all.   I got to go to work with my husband for the last two days.  I'm working on the graphics stuff for his company, so he said that nobody would really mind if I hang out.  I usually stay home, but its kind of nice to be somewhere different for a little while.  I spent part of the day at one of the company's installation sites... beautiful weather, so I worked on my laptop sitting under a tree.  And I learned something new - it is amazing how electrical wires are installed underground.  They're put in PVC tubes, and actually pulled through.  By hand!  Apparently a machine would risk breaking the wires somehow, so I watched a line of men literally playing tug-of-war with hundreds of feet of wire.  It was like something out of an old movie - my husband leading a call/response work chant and everybody pulling in a rhythm.    It does give me a bit of self-doubt, though.  Like, if that's what "real men" are doing... maybe I'm a poor-quality imitation

      Can I just say quickly re the bathroom question, how come no-one ever seems to suggest building more gender-neutral toilets? 
    • Betty K
      With the onslaught of bills targeting trans kids in the US and the current attempt to radically curtail gender-affirming treatment for kids in the UK I think you could just as easily ask why are things so hard for trans kids. Given the volatile political situation around them, I am pleased to hear there are still services attempting to help them.
