Movies that made you cry

Marley and Me, that movie can **** off

As a veteran of the USMC for 9 yrs, until I got hurt in Iraq, I have to say Saving Private Ryan and We Were Soldiers definitely make me cry. Lol I can't believe I just admitted that in a public forum!

Feel no shame in that sir. A bud of mine went into the Air Force at 17 and saw action overseas during the first Gulf War. That movie came out not too long after he decided he wouldn't re-enlist. I've known this gent for 25+ of my close to 40 years on this earth and I've never seen him shed a tear. We went to see that movie together and he just sat there, glued to the screen. In the end, when the reveal comes that the gentleman paying his respects is Pvt. Ryan, and he stands up to salute and asks his wife to please tell him he earned it...my good friend that I'd never seen cry, bawled like a baby. I understood what that scene meant, but I didn't understand what that scene meant. Not until my friend, whom had been in service and combat, opened my eyes with a little understanding.

There are some things that unless you've been through it, you'll never understand it. And though sometimes we do share a path with a fellow traveler, we are still different in how we perceive and react to that which we see on said path. By sharing the things that have shaped you, when and where you're ready, you in turn have a chance to shape a fellow human being. By the way, both of those were excellent movies and I did enjoy them both.

K-Pax was rough , and the Will Smith movie The Pursuit of Happiness (a great movie for dads)

Exceptionally well put! It's nice to unexpectedly stumble upon random gems like this browsing the forums!

Several episodes of Doctor Who.

Robin Williams when he does serious things

Robin Williams is great when he plays a serious role. One Hour Photo and Insomnia

On topic: 500 days of Summer. That park bench scene :'[

Léon: The Professional.
I always end up coughing and being like "Oh, it's not crying, I'm just choking on my own spit... my bad."

Also, somehow Sleeping Dogs made me cry. Not even sure how, but it did.

Bridge to Terabithia, definately. Pursuit of Happiness. Reign over Me, not sure if I cried but definitely got to me on several levels. (By the by I Am Legend is a much better book than movie, waaaaay more moving.) Iron Giant, I still have trouble watching the end of that movie. Oh, and the episode of adventure time (can't recall the title right now) where the Ice Kind shows up at Marceline's to make a song with her so he can get the babes. I almost couldn't stop crying, it was just so sad...

Pay It Forward.

This was the first movie that popped in my head. So sad... Great movie!
