Do you know strangely it seems to be so rare that someone knows The Fox and the Hound - none of my friends know it but my sister and I grew up with it!!!lovesitx wrote:The Notebook made me cry, also this film called My Dog Skip for some reason a lot of the time animal deaths effect me more than people's do, when i was younger a lot of Disney films (Bambi, Lion King, The Fox and the Hound) used to make me cry, i'm not sure they would have the same effect now though.

Re: Which films have made you cry?
I have to agree about Beaches - I have it on VHS and I can't sit through it without getting teary eyed. I also used to have the same reaction to Disney films - some of them are so sad. A more recent one that got me was Brother Bear - I should avoid Disney if I want to have a fun time!

Re: Which films have made you cry?
In today's Independent, there is a feature by Rob Sharp about why we cry at the movies. (Has he been reading this thread? or the female first website?)
In an interesting article, he goes on to describe how scientists say it's all provoked by emotional extremes - especially intense in a heightened sensory environment, where the images are widescreen and sound comes at us from the full 360 degrees.
Tear-jerkers are often associated with family, or close bonds. To make Up, they looked at a number of Super-8 film reels from family archives, and they made the sequence silent, to more powerfully communicate how life's biggest moments are contained in its little pleasures. This is one of the film's basic tenets.
Anyhow, Sharp goes on to reveal his top 8 tear-jerkers, awarding them boxes of tissues.
It's a Wonderful Life - 2 boxes
The Railway Children - 2 boxes
Titanic - 3 boxes
Dancer in the Dark - 3 boxes
Watership Down - 4 boxes
E.T. - 4 boxes
schindler's List - 4 boxes
Bambi - 5 boxes

Re: Which films have made you cry?
I think it can depend what mood I'm in and what is happening in my life at the time. And isn't there something called transference, where people who find it difficult to cry in real life break down in puddles of tears at a sad film?
Anyway. I agree with E.T and Beaches, and ohmygod Marley And Me had the whole cinema unashamedly sobbing.
But the one that gets me every single time is the bit in Good Will Hunting when Robin Williams keeps on telling Matt Damon's character that "It's not your fault, it's not your fault". I blub just as much as he does!
