This is going to sound lame and cliche coming from me... but I fucking cried at the end of Milk. I just kept thinking about the coors boycott and all the domonstrations he organized...

Gran Tourino was a damn good movie, too.

In terms of documentaries... Happiness Machines made me so mad I cried a little the first time I watched it, but normally I don't become emotionally involved in docs because I can rationalize that the purpose is to inform. Otherwise, the Witch Children of Africa would have done me in.

The only movie that I can recall ever making me cry is My Girl. But I was, like, twelve or something when that came out.

Very cliche I know but Philadelphia. I cannot stop crying at the memorial sevice at the end and the childhood movies of Tom Hanks' character. In fact there are tears in my eyes throughout that film.

Edward Scissorhands

Breaking the waves

Donnie Darko [such a brilliant movie]

And lately in City of Life and Death [China, 2009]. A dramatization of the Nanking massacre in 1937 during the second Sino-Japanese war. It's in b/w, but it portrays the atrocities of war - any war - very vividly.
It felt like a blow in the stomach.

The Iron Giant. When he closes his eyes and whispers "Superman", I lose it every damned time.

With or without Donnie Darko (though a brilliant movie), the song Mad World on its own almost always makes my eyes well up really bad.

Yes mine too.
Plus, it complements the ending of the movie perfectly.

Yeah, Milk was a little weepy.

You know, when I think about it, Doctor Who is pretty much the one thing that's virtually guaranteed to make me tear. We watched the WWI 2-parter last night night and although it got distinctly crappy in the second half, the ending made me go all misty-eyed.

Yeah, I'm a shameless nerd for some Doctor.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) Leonardo DiCaprio was outstanding.

Yessss, especially that part! The scene where Gilbert started slapping Arnie because he refused to bathe made me bawl as well.

Edward Scissorhands always makes me bawl at the end! I just lose it because they love each other but can't see each other and it is so sad! I am a bit of a hopeless romantic at heart!

Anything that's badly acted. I watched, correct that, tried to watch a movie last night called "Terror Galleon." The acting was so pathetic it almost made me cry. (Actually the only movie that actually did make me cry was "The Elephant Man").

As an adult I'd have to go with The Fountain. People have different interpretations of that movie but I've always seen it as a spiritual metaphor, and the symbolism is pretty intense in that context. Oh, also Magnolia and Requiem for a Dream.

OH...can't forget The Green Mile....goddam movie...........
I was going to say something about that scene (when Atreyu's horse sinks into the Swamp of Sadness). It always made me bawl when I was a kid... come to find out years later there was a problem with elevator they used in that scene and the horse actually DID die in that scene. So much for my mother's reassurance of "it's okay, it's only a movie... the horse didn't really die..." The actor Noah Hathaway got seriously injured duing that scene too.

I reached a new low, I cried at a trailer, it was for Heaven On Earth. No way I'm seeing the actual movie now.
