What Film/Scene Reduced You To Tears

OK, c'mon admit it, I don't care how tough you are, we've all shed a tear or two during a good weepie.

***POSS SPOILER ALERT ***

For me....Field of Dreams, the final scene where Kevin Costner meets his dad. Get's to me everytime I watch it.

Also Ghost (similar scene) when Demi Moore sees Patrick Swayzee at the end.

Surely i'm not the only 'big softie' on this forum?

ET leaves me blubbing like a girl - more than once.
And it takes a lot of effort to control myself for the final scene of It's a Wonderful Life.

I must admit I shed a tear (well almost!! ) watching A Knights Tale when Ulrich meets up with his Dad.

Got a "Are you crying??"

"Nah! not me, got something in my eye!!

HI All,

For me, these 2 caused me to cry volumes:

An American Tail (When Fievel is swept away from his parents!)

Third Watch: Season 1 "Demolition Derby" (THe best and most heart-wrenching piece of TV I've ever seen... period! Superbly dramatic, and totally designed to make you shed loads of tears!)

Oh, Ian J - the film you were talking about was called "The Bear"! It was a French film, dubbed into English, if memory serves, from around 1987.

The Ryan White story ( true story), young kid who contracted aids through a blood transfusion i think, very very sad, cried buckets...

It was only a few days after watching it that he died.........this started me of again....Elton John was also a good friend to him.

True stories seem to get me more.......

For me the final bit in Gladiator when he is carried out of the collussiam(spelt wrong I know) it's so unfair that he was stabbed before the fight but I guess he realised everything he wanted.

What I have noticed is that since I have had children who are now 12 +13 I am much more emotional about things or maybe because I am 40 soon I am going through a mid life crisis - in fact I am crying now and I'm at work

The Green Mile, when they execute the big black geezer, that brought a tear to my eye.

Has to be The Green Mile for me as well.

ET still brings a lump to my throat, emotional scars left over from a kid when I watched it in the cinema and started balling

Not a patch on the film 'The Champ', right at the end when the little boy's dad dies on the table after the boxing match.

Not a film, but Buffy/Angel:
1) When she kills Angel (who has just had his soul returned) to stop the world being destroyed.
2) When Angel becomes mortal to be with Buffy, but then has to turn time back so that he can continue fighting the good figth.
3) From the current series of Buffy on Sky the episode after Once More with Feeling . Don't want to say too much and spoil it for those that haven't seen it yet.

Moulin Rouge - you know the ending from the start, but I still almost had tears in my eyes at the end.

Starting to well up again,
Liam
