I found the Nativity Story quite emotional. It certainly brought a few
tears to my eyes.

God bless,
Noel.
 
Pay it forward alwasy has me streaming at the end!!! It is just so sad!!!
 
“Unleashed”—(“Danny the Dog” in UK)

“Finding Neverland”
 
Lord of the Rings

The Fox and the Hound

In America

300

Gladiator

The Princess Bride (as you wish…)
 
The Passion of the Christ
The Education of Little Tree
Conrack
Hope Floats
The Wizard of Oz
And I’m sure there are more I can’t think of right now!
 
My wife laughs at me because I tear up at the end of Rudy. Every time. I can’t help it.
On a similar vein, *Remember the Titans *gets me.
I used to wan t to be like Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner) from The Bodyguard :o
Me too. Also: When I grow up I want to be Malone or Eliot Ness (Sean Connery, Kevin Costner) from The Untouchables.

But most of all:
I know it is history.
I know they will be all right.
I know splashdown is safe.

But *Apollo 13 *always warms the cockles of my nerd-heart and brings a tear to my geek-eye. 🤓 ❤️

“The Sound of Music”!!! I can watch it over and over and love it every time, and it makes me cry every time, too.
“The Wizard of Oz” is almost as good for me. When Dorothy hugs the Scarecrow before she goes back to Kansa, I just cry. My kids think it’s hilarious.
“White Christmas” is another great movie. Bing and Danny Kaye are so good together! The end is another cry fest for me.
I think I rate great movies on their ability to make me happy and cry, too.
A good movie I just saw recently was “While You were Sleeping” with Sandra Bullock. It’s been out for a few years now. I’d never seen it before. It was so cute. And clean!
 
Ok, I forgot:

Dances with Wolves (which had me howling with tears when the guy rides his horse out to say goodbye to Costner’s character and cries I am his friend).

Lord of the Rings.
 
the end of Braveheart. I was expecting a different ending (dont want to be specific incase someone here hasnt seen it). i watched it by myself and almost started crying…guys arent supposed to cry 😉

“hotel rwanda”😉 moved me a lot too!
 
The Great Escape (Steve McQueen) is one of my all-time favs, riveting and very moving. The soundtrack alone is awesome, written and conducted by the same man who did The Magnificent Seven, Elmer Bernstein.

Now I want to know something: is there anyone else who thinks that the 1953 movie Shane was totally awful? 😛 I read the book and loved it, got my expectations up for the movie, and then the movie fell flat. I think Jack Palance would had done a better job as Shane than Alan Ladd. I don’t know…that was just the impression I got. Anyone else think the same thing?
 
Wow, no one mentioned “Steel Magnolias”? That scene in the cemetery can take you from heart-broken sobs :crying: to hysterical belly-laughs :rotfl: in 60 seconds!

oh yes i forgot about that movie! that was a very sad part when the mother starts to cry i tried not to cry but i could not keep it in:(
 
Many movies have made me cry but none hit home so well as
“Rain Man.”

This movie used to make me laugh because Dustin Hoffman
played a man with autism so well. That wasn’t the funny part.
What was funny was Tom Cruise’s frustration with “Rain Man” because of his inability to get through to Dustin Hoffman’s character. He was so repetitive and unable to communicate normally. Now I know his frustration.

Why do I cry now? My son has autism. And his struggles to communicate and understand us are heartbreaking. I have been humbled.
Praise God.

I know I will catch flak for this, and I may get banned from these forums (I hope not), but “Priest” is a film that genuinely moved me.

The struggles that the young priest has with his homosexuality while still trying to reconcile himself with our faith is very moving. I raged along with him as he shouted to the crucifix for guidance and answers, especially when confronted with an evil man who was molesting his daughter and told him so in confession, knowing that he cannot break the seal. And that very emotional final scene in the communion line just moved me to bawling tears like very few things have.

Most are appalled by this movie and what has been writen about it, and it is definitely not for everyone, but I found it to be very faith-affirming and actually helped me in the re-discovering of my Christian faith.
 
My wife laughs at me because I tear up at the end of Rudy. Every time. I can’t help it.
Me too! It usually starts with the players putting their jerseys on the coach’s desk.

I also loose it during Its a Wonderful Life. When all the people in town start coming in to help George.

Wow, I just realized it a theme! Anyone know of any other movies with scenes like these? 😃
 
No one mentioned Elephant Man? when he started quoting from the Bible (when Anthony Hopkins never heard him speak) I burst out crying. I could never watch that movie again.

Also, I cannot watch Color Purple - cried too much.

Passion of the Christ - no explanation needed.

I agree with this one. I can’t believe everyone forgets this movie. Every time I mention it to people they’re like, “what movie was that? Never heard of it.”

I cried when I watched it with my mom who cried because it brought back the pain she had when my sister died.

Dying Young is another with Julia Roberts. Dang she was convincing!

And of course The Passion
 
oh yes i forgot about that movie! that was a very sad part when the mother starts to cry i tried not to cry but i could not keep it in:(
I cried when Julia Roberts’ little son came toddling up to his grandmother with a big smile on his face, unaware that his mother had just passed away.

The other ones that have actually made me cry in the theater were “The Passion,” “Big Fish,” “The Family Stone” and “Dream Girls” (when she sings “I Am Telling You I Am Not Going”).
 
My most mind-moving movies?
-All the 6 Star Wars [all of them, but specially the episodes 5 - the truth (“I am your father”) almost makes me scream - and 6 - with the fantastic rescue scene and a commovent final] and 3 Lord of the Rings movies (all the 3 are super cool and have fantastic battle scenes and much suspense)
-The Passion of the Christ (no explanation needed)
-The Sound of Music (beautiful story)
-My Fair Lady (super funny :rotfl: )
-Ben Hur (great action scenes and a fantastic chariot race)
