Best weepie films

For me it has to be a choice between:-

Meet Joe Black.

Somewhere in Time.

open water. we both bawled

The Edge of Love

Schindler's List. Dead Poets' Society. Shortbus.

The movie, Million Dollar Baby, is one of those great movies that I can only watch once - too sad of an ending. No tears, but close.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405159/

"Life is Beautiful" with Roberto Benigni...

"8 Below" - stupid true story about a bunch of sled dogs stuck on the South Pole on their own for 6 months. Bawled my eyes out (and on a flight to the U.S., no less).

Oh, and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

You know I still have not seen that movie.

I'll show you next time you're in London! Although then you'll get to see me cry at the end again.

Those are definitely all on my list. My most embarrassing one that I hate to admit, but had me sobbing loudly was "The Notebook". I blame HBO. How dare they spring movies like that on you without proper warning.

Also once woke up to find my husband in tears watching "The river runs through it". Hilarious, but quite endearing.

Can think of one right now:
The Bridges of Madison County - broke my heart at the end .
And Clint Eastwood keeps surprising me one after another , who would have thought that this Wild wild west cowboy infact had so much depth in himself...

ALIEN ...when the creature gets blown out of the airlock...really touched me.

Shortbus makes my eyes water for a different reason.

Pearl Harbour, Armagedon and My Girl

All the ones mentioned I cried at except Meet Joe Black and the two I didn't see. The Notebook was a real tear jerker, wow. Here's a few.

Steel Magnolias

For the boys

Beaches

Rudy

Steel Magnolias
Beaches
Gone with the Wind
Cool runnings

International Velvet
My Life
Sophie's Choice - not one to watch if you have children.

For me it was Stepmom where the mother dies of cancer in the end. Its with Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon

Rouge - seeing the poster starts me off
But I cried at The Waterhorse, *blush*.
The Flying Scotsman is certainly a big weepie - it's got Scottish nationalism (no capital), ill-health, tragedy, glory, triumph over adversity and an evil German in it, what's not to like?

Saw

Whale Rider
Munich

forget films, the book Boese Schafe by Katja Lange-Muller is tragic, brilliantly told story of the slow death of a main character, I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to get a bit weepy-eyed. Even when I start to tell people the story i feel like crying

watership down. Whilst not a film, the ending to Babylon 5 series makes me ball everytime as well.

Truly, Madly, Deeply.

*waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!*

Yeah I cried too. I was like I want my $ 8 dollars back.

The Elephant Man
The Green Mile
Dead Man Walking
Terms of Endearment (surely the weepiest of them all?)
AI (last half is shit but the point where the little droid boy is about to be abandoned in the forest has to be the most exploitingly emotional thing I have ever watched)
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Colour Purple
Das Boot

Yes, I admit it, I absolutely LOVE any movie that makes me weep . ...

@BTC

*virtual slap* Be a man!


My roommate was in that movie but her scene got cut ( she was in a larger scene where all the robots were dumped). I was like be happy that movie was crap, which just redirected her anger toward me.

Bambi Meets Godzilla (1969). Makes me break down and sob uncontrollably everytime I see it.



But I've already mentioned a few weepies on these threads here:

Movies That Make Men Cry Like Big Blubbering Babies

Saddest Movies Ever That Make You Want To Leave The Theater & Commit Suicide

here's a few more:

"Lily"
"Forest Gump"
"Black Book"
"The Pianist"
"Im Westen nichts Neues"

That film was on TV a few weeks ago, bawled my eyes out too and swore at the TV in anger and frustration quite frequently (well, at those people who wouldn't help him get to the dogs).

I would like to add another book from Erich Maria Remarque "Three Comrades" - I guess it was never made into a movie.

Big Fish

It's not a film, but guaranteed to make me sob: Noel's Christmas Presents

Only time I've ever seen my dad cry is watching that.

And if anyone has the 2008 one, can I borrow it. Not finding it on bittorrent (probably as people too ashamed).

seconding!

Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage

Finding Neverland

oh god yes, I blubbed for Britain to Finding Neverland ...

It'd likely get to me too. But the reality of polar expeditions with sled-dogs is much harsher than that, at least historically.

"The Mighty" - a movie I saw in a sneak preview about eight years back...

Love Story

Dreamgirls, Titanic and Dirty dancing make me cry every single time.

I cried loads at about a boy too.

This movie was a bit of a downer for me. I thought that main dude was going to live

Betty Blue: Funny, tragic and incredibly sad.

My life. It gets me every time.

Empire Of The Sun made me cry at the age of 9... Since then? Nope, nada. HAs to be one of my all time favourite films

"Star Wars Episode I" made me want to cry. Episode I makes Episode III look like Episode V.

There is an "ancient" movie from 1978 that I first saw on tv when it was already very old. I think it's age is now probably really showing, but not having seen it for ages I couldn't judge . Called "Same Time Next Year" with Ellen Burstyn and Alan Alda. I remember that I needed a whole bunch of tissues for that.

- the piano
