The manly tears thread, Which movies made you well up?

[Reality|Bites]

For me the movie that gets me everytime and why I won't watch it anymore is ET, damn Elliot pulls at your heart string doesn't he.

The first movie I'd ever seen at the Cinema was Bambi, but I was only 5 so I don't remember it much.

I've watched Gladiator about 4 times, and by the end i'm nearly bubbling away to myself lol

The beginning scene in Up, gets me every time.

 

[Bluecube]

The little girl in the red coat in Schindler's List.

In a similar vein, the end of Life is Beautiful. Amazing film that I didn't expect to end the way it did.

My dad would always cry at one of his favourite movies as well, The Champ

[Kainz]

Band of Brothers, that camp...

 

[hughtrimble]

It's been years and years since I watched it, but Gladiator's ending always did.

 

[Reality|Bites]

Band of Brothers, that camp...

I'm not sure if I've seen it or just seen the clip before, but I can imagine after being taken along for the ride with the movie, it would be a very emotional watch at the end.

Green Mile

The Fly 2 (that poor mutant dog )

 

[Gray2233]

 

[Liquid_Entity]

Hachi: A Dogs Tale.

Blubbed the whole way through it.

 

[Thekwango]

The little girl in the red coat in Schindler's List.

ooof, had forgot all about that. definite 'i got something in my eye' moment

Band of Brothers, that camp...

the very end always got me more, where they recite what happened to them all after the war.

my sisters keeper......never ever watch that film. all semblance of 'manliness' will be gone long before the end.

Any time a dog dies that we've got to know.

Scum

 

[Thekwango]

Scum

bit harsh like, just cause we cry at sad films is no reason to call us scum

 

[Nitefly]

Including those where I cried at a child:

Beethoven (“doggy killer!!!”)
The Lion King (“get up dad” etc)
Armageddon (!)
Titanic (children being read stories in bed)
What Dreams May Come (gruelling, although not seen since release so may not be as sad as an adult)
Forrest Gump (“he’s so smart Jenny”)
Marley and Me (even watching this amongst mates after a night out hungover we were all pretty tearful - brutal)

Other upsetting films:

The Neverending Story (horse in the swamp)

 

[i-bert]

A Monster Calls

 

[Yaayuh!]

[Nitefly]

A Monster Calls

Ah, yes, made me cry on a plane of all places.

 

[Bluecube]

A Monster Calls

Yep. It’s meant to be a kids film too!

 

[Bubo]

The Elephant Man. One the saddest endings, plus the tea with Reeves and his wife scene halfway through. And generally, whenever I'm watching a film and I hear the first few chords of Adagio for Strings, I'm like "uh-oh"
