Movies Wot Make You Cry

I'm looking for recommendations of films that make you cry your eyes out. I'm having a hard time remembering what ones make me cry, though I do so fairly easily. Somebody recommended Magnolia, but I've seen that too many times. Donnie Darko's ending kills me, though I don't recall if I outright weep for it. I think I probably cried last time I saw In The Name of the Father, maybe I'll rent that next.

I will also admit that I cried for Dances with Wolves when I first saw it. What a fucking pussy.

Shadowlands.

Akeela and the Bee. Tears of joy and sadness for this one.

Dumbo.

Schindler's List is a good one. Spielberg sure is good at tugging at those heart strings.

For all around meloncholly, there is always In the Mood for Love.

did you see Brokeback Mountain?
Personally I don't really cry for movies but if you do, then this is sure to make you cry.

Also watch Finding Neverland. Great movie but also very sad.

I've gotten teary over a few movies, but the only one to make me bawl like a baby was the anime 'voices of a distant star'. Whether it was because I can relate to the separation depicted in the piece, or I was just in a weepy mood, I dunno.

But fuck.

Vanilla Sky gets me going at the end with the Sigur Ros song playing and Sofia just standing there with that look on her face.....so fucking sad!

Grave of the fireflys. fuck, if this doesn't make you cry your heartless.

i would say Requiem for a Dream but that movie left me more numb than crying.

Yeah, I've heard Grave of the Fireflies is brutal. Is it worth buying?

YES!!! I was just about to write what Kennrr said, almost word for word. Highly highly highly recommended.

ok.

"Vanilla Sky" for the same reason mentioned earlier plus it is a sentimental favorite. I have seen "Open Your Eyes" but I saw "Vanilla Sky" with someone special so it sticks like that.

"Old Yeller" - haven't seen it since I was a kid but jesus I'd probably still cry.

"Grave of the Fireflies" was a tear FESTIVAL. I've never been so sad watching a cartoon but the story just sticks to you.

"Mr. Holland's Opus" I don't know why...I only saw this movie in the theater but I was balling.
