Playing sports all through high school Friday Night Lights is the first movie I can remember really making me cry, so it's definitely up there for me.

Precious is just so completely fricked. That and Schindler's list for me.

Winner.


Another highly underrated Schroeder performance was The Earthling.

The concentration camp episode of band of brothers. I’ve never felt such a mixture of sadness and anger while watching tv.

The Sweet Hereafter

The film tells the story of a school bus accident in a small town that results in the deaths of numerous children. A class-action lawsuit ensues, proving divisive in the community and becoming tied in with personal and family issues.



I'm assuming we're leaving out documentaries, because real life has a leg up in that case.

Where the red fern grows was the movie that immediately came to mind. First time I remember crying over a movie as a kid.

An oldie goldie: Ali McGraw's Love Story. It made me swear off paying money to see a sad movie.

not sad, just freaking depressing


Eulogy scene is agony. I always come into these to chime in What Dreams May Come. I watched that scene the first time right after a few months after Robin Williams death and with a 2 year old son in my spot in the bed. I was in the living room alone (thank God) damned near squalling. Lol

Private Ryan.

“Tell me I’m a good man. Tell me I’ve led a good life. “ EVERY frickING TIME it gets me. Don’t even know the actor who plays it. Which is probably best and by Spielberg design. It’s delivered like a real old man would speak to his wife. Not some Grand delivery. Near sobbing near hitching because he’s an old man who went through D-Day and “doesn’t cry”.

I'm with you on this. First you see CPT Miller dying, telling PVT Ryan to "Earn this". PVT Reiben is in a near panic trying to help Miller. He's been a hardass the entire movie and he looks like he's about to start crying as he calls for a medic. Then you in the cemetery with Ryan's family and he breaks down at Miller's grave. It gets me every time.

To make matters worse, I then feel like a degenerate for thinking how hot Ryan's granddaughter with the big cans looks.

I didn't want to start a new thread, but I re-watched Gallipoli tonight and it just pissed me off when I was reminded of how sad and unnecessary the ending was. If the movie is true to the actual story, I want to throat punch the leader that kept making them go into that slaughter.
Fock!

Awakenings.

Such hope and joy as Robert DeNiro and others are brought back to awareness. Only to see it all fade away. Crushing.

Not a movie as a whole, but the very first part of Guardians of the Galaxy was a gut punch.
