Best/Worst tear jerker?

[ColinJ]

A spurned lover sacrifices his life that others might live. A brave young man dies in a desperate attempt to save his beautiful love. The Huron warrior who kills him had been reduced to savagery by the slaughter of his family by the British and their followers. His only hope for salvation is to start a new family with the the young woman, but she chooses to join her lover in eternity, rather than submit to the Huron. Her sister witnesses her suicide. The father of the dead brave, and Hawkeye, his adoptive brother, have arrived too late to save him and the girl. The father exacts a brutal revenge for the loss of his son ...

This scene takes place in a fantastic mountain top location, accompanied by haunting music.

The Last of the Mohicans ...



If this didn't move you, then you are made of stone!

Cool Runnings. Up against it & the walk to the finish stands out.

ET gets me every time.

My favorite pretend crying:

 

[swansonj]

A girl thing only? Not in our house, I am mocked mercilessly by my wife and children for crying buckets at the slightest (and corniest) provocation.

railway children +1
Up +1
Jungle book +1
ET +1

Plus:
Apollo 13 (when they reemerge from radio silence, and on a good day when Gene Kranz says "we've never lost an American in space and we're not starting now, not on my watch")
Sound of Music (multiple places but especially where the Captain hugs the children for the first time)

In fact, can I claim a first on this thread for having been reduced to actual tears by the mere act of writing down some of the films that make me cry?

 

[Bryony]

Marley and me
Watership down
War horse
(Mainly animal films)

Anyone seen Whale Rider? The end of that set me off in front of my ex and her mum, most embarrassing.

Can't remember the name of the film... but Tim Roth's character is drawing his last breaths whilst being comforted by Harvey Keitel, then Roth admits he's a cop ... beautiful

The Railway Children

Daddy, my daddy.

I'm not a crier at films but I think you'd have to be dead or sociopathic not to go at that bit.

Reservoir Dogs?

 

[oiljam]

Seven Pounds with Will Smith. It's right sad

Gridlock?

 

[glenn forger]

It's Reservoir Dogs, the title of which is based on a mis-hearing of a film mentioned earlier, Au Revoir Les Enfants.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest ending when Jack Nicholson get a lobotomy and then gets done in by the big chap

My all time favourite movie.
