Shawshank Redemption is very moving especially when Morgan Freeman is narrating near the end just before he meets Andy on the beach, not sure there were tears but very emotive. And a great film.
Not a film but worth a mention, again not tears but exceptionally moving when they showed Gazza's reaction to Sir Bobby asking about his performance in the 1990 documentary on ITV a few weeks back.
I used to work with a bloke, real tough man. Hard as nails but told me one day (we'd been watching a health & safety video about a young lad who'd been got a job on site by his older brother and ended up choking to death down a shaft because it wasn't gas tested) that he cries at loads of films and that video almost got him.
He could never control himself when Bambi's mum gets shot, at the lion king, all the cartoons he took his kids to see turned him into a blubbering wreck!
His daughter took him to see shrek to see if he would cry when the donkey got locked out of Waynes Shreks house.
He's left the company now so I can tell this to the other lads, no way was I gonna tell that when I worked with the nutbar
[cite]Posted By: IA[/cite]Of those, I've only seen Shawshank Redemption and Life is Beautiful. I didn't cry for either, but I want to watch Life is Beautiful again - don't think it went in the first time.
Life Is Beatiful is a great film and the most recent that got to me. Seen it about five times now on DVD in English and Italian (with subtitles).
It's worth watching it in both languages, although I enjoyed the film the first time I watched it, I seemed to get more from the film from watching it in both languages. I do that for all foreign films anyway - watch it in both languages!
Land and Freedom.. centred on the Spanish civil war, when the coffin scene cuts back to the present day. Immense impact for me i think as it brings home the message that history is now, something like that.
Maybe crying isn't woossy but a reaction when no other emotion will do?
that list was from an article on BBC website. Bloke says when the e-types and the aston gets smashed up, brings a tear to his eye. Dont think he was actually being serious !!!!
Watched Gladiator again last night. That final scene, even though I've seen it about 20 times, still gets me. Hans Zimmer is a genius on that soundtrack.

One of my all-time favourite film scores. Now We Are Free gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.

But the start of Up is definitely the closest I've come I think.
Look for fresh prints.
Also adding awakenings
And I dare anyone to watch A Walk To Remember without 1 tear (its impossible)
The bit when 13 men are about to be executed, what the Nazi officer makes them do and how they do it.
Absolutely ruins me.
Every.
Single.
Time.
Crying over a film? What next?
