Strange movies to make you cry

[Snydeclyde]

Inception,
the bit with Leonardo Dicaprio's character and his wife, got me a bit welled up.

Also Watership Down i remember crying at when i was a kid, that film just freaked me out back then.

Special mentions to Into The Wild, got me sad, not because of the end, but because i was kind of jealous of his awesome journey.

And also Requiem for A Dream for invoking some pretty deep depression by the end of it, felt terrible after watching that film.

A few scenes in Gettysburg but most prominently the Pickett's charge scene. The one where the charge is failing and Armistead rallies the men by putting his sword through his hat and "Virginians, Virginians with me, who will come with me". It just gets to me since it had to have taken alot of courage to rally those men and rush the copse with so few men left and the union lines still so strong.

OT: Note i'm not a Confederate sympathizer it just the courage of the act really gets to me.

The only movie that really makes me tear up a little (and tear up, not cry), is Les Mis. It's usually at different part each time, but the ones that always will are "I Dreamed a Dream", "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables", ValJean's death, and the final scene.

I'm a grown man, and all pixar movies make me cry. Weird thing is, I didn't cry in Toy Story 1 and 2 when I first watched it as a kid.

Same here, nearly all new Disney/Pixar movies are making me cry (Up, Wall-E, Tangled...) even though I didn't have such an emotional response as a child.

Having read the novel, yesterday I watched "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", which made me cry like a little girl.

Inception
When he looks in the safe and finds the pinwheel

Toy story 3
When he gives up his toys

Warrior
When you find out why Tommy is acting like he is, also the end

Last Samurai
When he helps Katsumoto commit seppuku

The ending of a movie called Fluke ( I think ) where a Dad is killed but is reincarnated into the family dog. He reveals to the family of his identity at his grave and I lost it.

I cried at the end of the Dark Knight. It just got to me for some reason. So damn heroic. Other people looked at me weird when we were discussing movies that made you cry over lunch one day and I brought it up.

may or may not be strange but i remember crying at the end of pokemon the first movie.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is a comedy that makes fun of dramatic movies about rock stars.

Yet somehow, I ended up breaking into tears during the last musical number "Beautiful Ride".

It wasn't just my state of mind at the time. I watched it again on a different day and still got kinda choked up at that point.

Never fully come to tears in a film, but the only one ever to get me close to welling up was the furnace scene in Toy Story 3. Holy crap, even after multiple viewings my heart sinks every time. Also the end scene when Andy gives his toys away got me going a little but not as much as the other scene.

Yeah, that movie makes me choke too.
It's one of my favorites.

Oh and I wasn't expecting to cry when I saw Wreck-it-Ralph, but I did, like a little girl.
Then again when I watched it for a second time.

Braveheart of course, as a proud Scot. Quite a few of the scenes, but mostly it's at the end of the film when the Scots charge at Bannockburn.

Toy Story 3, you know what bit.

Warrior, again, you know the bit at the end.

And yes to various battle scenes in LOTR.

The Thin Red Line, some scenes in that, the beautiful cinematography and deep voiceovers; they get to me.

"WIILLLSOOOOON!", that should be pretty self-explanatory.

At the end of End of Watch.

So many other films. It's the best feeling ever, when you're sobbing away at a film.

I always get a little teary when Woody says "You're flying!" and Buzz corrects him "I'm falling with style" at the end of Toy Story. The Toy Story movies can get pretty emotive on their own, but I don't think that one bit is scripted to be "emotional". It still is to me.

Nail, head. A lot of folks are mentioning the Pixar staples like Up and Toy Story 2/3, but it's not strange to be moved by them. However, yes, last time I watched the first Toy Story that chase sequence and the "falling with style" bit got me leaking man-tears.

Shawshank. The old prisoner who can't take it on the outside hanging himself.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Spoiler

"I know now why you cry, but it is something I could never do"

 

[WhiteWolfe]

When the main guy in Battle: LA went on the suicide mission at the end, on his own, and then his team all rappeled down the chopper to go with him, I just lost it. Cried so hard. My girlfriend was shocked and all I could do was choke out "They wouldn't leave him". No idea why that movie caused that emotion, tons of other movies have had similar scenes and evoked no response.

 

[HellbirdIV]

Boromir's death in Fellowship of the Ring. I also have an instictive "Sean Bean! Nuuuuh!" reaction when he shows up in movies/TV shows, because you just KNOW they're going to kill him off and make me feel bad again.

Yeah, I guess Pixas movies are kind of obvious to go for. But I always thought that sequence wasn't meant to make you teary.
