Movies you nearly cried in

[Reply #160 on:]

    Everything   

and Matrix Reloaded IMO was stupid   
but i guess i'm the only one who thinks so.

[Reply #161 on:]

I nearly cried during Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

"Please, I've had enough, I wanna go home!" 

[Reply #162 on:]

Another wonderful (yet horribly under-rated) film!

[Reply #163 on:]

Yep that's another one.
 Everytime those flappy ears appeared on Screen it sent shivers up my spine causing an eruption of tears.

What was so good about Episode 1?
I mean, I did not like matrix reloaded at all but I can understand why some people did.

But episode 1 made me feel like Lucas was laughing at me.

Usually I don't cry during movies but thier was one which I don't remember the name of, but it was basically a biography, and a scene at the end where the man dies in a hospital bed, he looked exactly like my grandfather didi when he died.  that made me cry.

[Reply #166 on:]

I've cried at a couple of movies, though they were both animated.  The Iron Giant, when the Giant leaves (I... Superman) always makes me break out the hanky.  The other one is a Japanese anime movie called Grave of the Fireflies.  I mean, I'd had spoilers to this movie, but I still cried at the end of it anyway.  Really sad.

End of Evangelion, when Asuka dies, than again when Misato dies...

I can't understand why so many people don't like The Phantom Menace. I remember going to see it for the first time in the cinema with my family and friends and I left spellbound. We all enjoyed it alot. Then I remember being completly confused when I started hearing so much negative feedback, did they see the same film as me!?
Just because lots of people found Jar Jar anoying, they write off the whole film! For the record i've never had a problem with Jar Jar, I know it's become this kind of cult fanboy tradition to diss Jar Jar, but i'm not going to say I hate him just for the hell of it because I don't!
When the film came out on DVD (several years after the 1999 theatrical release) people started to look at the film in a fresh frame of mind, away from the hype. Episode 1 is rated as a 4 star film by most books and magazines, and appears on many top sci-fi film polls. Empire magazine, the worlds most respected film magazine rates The Phantom Menace as a 4 star film and I totally agree. It's not perfect, the middle section drags slightly (although it's vital to the plot) and not all the characters are given much chance to say or do interesting things (Ewan McGregor spends most of the time looking over Liam Nessons shoulder). But the podrace, and lightsaber battle are some of the greatest moments in the entire Star Wars saga. I love the scene in Watto's junk shop when Anakin first meets Padme.
"Are you an angel?" he asks. It's such an inocent thing to say. But it's also undermined by that feeling of inevitabiltity and tradgedy. By meeting each other, both characters have started on the path that will ultimatly lead to their doom, and the rise of the Empire. I think the people who didn't like the film were just mad that they were no longer 12 years old, and it's no longer 1977. Can you honestly say that if the Phantom Menace had come out first instead of Star Wars: A New Hope that you would have the same negative opinion. If so. then I think you're lying. In 20 years time when the people who were 12 in 1999 look book on the film it will be viewed as a classic, and in the same league as the original trilogy. I've seen it many times and I'll probably see it many more times. It's exciting, fun, inventive, and contains some of the best music and visual effect ever!

Ignore the sad, and obsessive complaints from a small group of hardcore geeks, and make your own mind up about the film!

[Reply #171 on:]

"Edward Scissorhands", "Vanila Sky", I think part of "Platoon" (I had a fever so It may not have been valid),"Blade Runner" Directors cut, The John Lithgow Cable version of "Don Quixote", "Laputa: Castle in the Sky", and parts of HBO's "From the Earth to the Moon" but that was just from sheer awe.
There's others but I can't think of them now.

[Reply #172 on:]

I've got another 2 to add to my list of movies i cried in.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Donnie Darko

Agreed on the saber battles especially, but Jar Jar was a little annoying.
Didn't stop me from buying the DVD and failing miserably to find the special 'THX 1138' blooper reel thing on it. 

[Reply #174 on:]

So am I the only one who shed a tear at the end of Godfather part 2, during the flashback?

[Reply #175 on:]

Terminator 2,Donnie Darko, Chasing Amy.

[Reply #176 on:]

I nearly shed a few tears at the end of The Return Of The King.

[Reply #177 on:]

I cried at the end of Return Of The King. I couldn't help it. I hadn't cried at a film in the cinema since Lion King and that was 10 years ago!

[Reply #178 on:]

I did'nt cry in lord of the rings *In a deep, deep voice*
but seriously folks, for me the biggest tear jerker in rotk was the charge with faramir and the song by pippin. *Sniff sniff*

Same with me. Haven´t seen it for a long time, but I guess I would even cry nowadays, the music does the rest.
Also Return of the King. Yupp,   

[Reply #180 on:]

Yeah, I also cried in Return of the King, but not only at the end, also with Theoden's last words and when Arwen has a vision of Aragorn playing with their future son with that beautiful music on the background.

[Reply #181 on:]

I used to get teary when the mother died in The Land Before Time as well. And whn Atreju's horse sank into that swamp in the Neverending Story (but that was long ago)
An recent news, I was broke into tears during Alyssa's monologue outisde the ockey arena in Chasing Amy. And also, I was very deeply touched by the whole Eowyn story in ROTK. I felt so bad for her. Especially since we see it coming, and she thinks there's something there. And of course the ending...

[Reply #182 on:]

I cried during Titanic,

Show spoiler

when Jack died

I also cried during the first and third installments of Lord Of The Rings

Show spoiler

In no 1. when Gandalf fell off the bridge of Kazadune, and when Borimir died.

In No. 3. When the soliders were marching toward Gondor and Pippen was singing a song.

And last but not least: The Matrix Revolutions.

Show spoiler

When Trinity dies.

[Reply #183 on:]

Yes! Pip's song. That did it for me as well (just forgot to post it above for some freakish reason. And the bridge: The entire place is called Khazad Dûm. Moria is the Elvish word for it, meaning "Dark Chasm". Khazad Dûm is Dwarven for "Great dwarf house/mansion" or something like that. So the bridge is the main bridge of the "mine".

[Reply #184 on:]

Oh yes, Pip´s song     so beautiful. I wonder in which other languages (besides English and German) he sings it.

[Reply #185 on:]

Oh, I totally forgot Moulin Rouge! I noticed that it was on TV last night. I'm not much for those types of movies, but that movie kicks Titanic's ass any day for being the greatest love movie of all time (Or at least in the top three). I can distinctly remember my eyes getting all watery at the end of that movie when I first saw it. It still gets me at the end.

[Reply #186 on:]

I agree with Slurm Guy, Moulin Rouge! was excellent, I still won't put it as the greatest love movie of all time, but definitely better than Titanic.

Also, I surprisingly didn't cried whit Pippin's song. Other parts I cried: when Frodo tells Sam that he doesn't remember the taste of food and how the Shire looks like. And also when Frodo says to Sam "I'm glad you're here with me Sam, here at the end of all things".

[Reply #187 on:]

I cried at the end of Titanic, but then again, I was chopping onions at the time.

*cricket chirping noises*

geez, tough crowd

Anyway, I don't believe I've ever cried during a movie.

[Reply #188 on:]

I cried at Monty Python and the holy grail

[Reply #189 on:]

I will only say do NOT watch "Grave of the Fireflies." before a wedding.

I think Memento almost made me cry in the "I can't remember to forget you" scene.

I cried ALL the way through "White fang."

Don't even get me started on "The land before time."

When I was very young I once cried about the end of RotJ.

If you didn't cry, you must have been making out: Schindler's List.

The final episode of Rayearth season 2 almost got me, at 22 years of age, no less.  So...Happy.  Oh, yeah, the final Bebop episode also almost got me.

SO...Who's up for seeing "The Passion?"

You're out of line mister!  First Misato dies, THEN Asuka.

EoE for me:

Shinji:*Cries*
Asuka: You disgust me.
[The end]
Pitt:*Cries* Fuck you, Hideaki Anno.

[Reply #191 on:]

I think I nearly cried (or might have actually done so) at the end of the film Rain Man.

[Reply #192 on:]

Oh yeah, the funeral scene from Micheal Collins got me where it hurts.
*bangs chest*

Ow!
