A League of Their Own. Right at the end when they are all older and talking about their past is tear inducing for me.

The ending of Interstellar definitely did, can't think of another one right now.

I'm not sure I've ever watched a "Sci-Fi" movie of any degree with made me really emotional. I'm thinking it might be because it's clearly a fantasy and therefore I am already emotionally detached no matter what the story throws t me. Now, put a reality based show on the screen and all bets are off. Some writers/directors/actors just bring it sometimes.

Flashback... I recall once, when I was 10, I went to an afternoon matinee of Romeo and Juliet (1968) with my sister (older) and one of her friends. They sat on either side of me in a no doubt tortuous plan so I couldn't get up and leave. I used to like paying for the kid friendly flicks and then heading to the concession before sneaking into the other more adult movie showing on the other screen (think Rosemary's Baby etc.). But that's another story. Sometime during the movie both my sister and her friend were full engaged in a tear fest that soaked the only thing they had at hand, the sleeves of one of their sweaters. I sat there wondering what the hell was going on. Ahhhh...the days of ignorant bliss.

being from the UK , films about American sport are normally a massive turn off. However this is just a massive exception for me. Yep I do cry (like everyone else I imagine) when it gets to the bit when the father returns to play catch. The father was played by Ray Liotta if I recall correctly and that is a massive thing in itself when you think of the trash he turned out subsequently! Probably the best 'adult' fairy tale ever IMO |

One that really does it for me is the 663 Squadron , mainly for the line 'you can't kill a squadron' right at the end when then the camera pans back showing a totally bare airfield. Full on blubber mode at that point. I do love a good war movie!

Hi,
There have been many, but I am not sure I can list them all ... or remember them all. Heck, I cried during the ending portion of Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet, even though I knew the story, had read it, and now was seeing a movie!!! Some, more or less with reasons: Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring -- The ending of this whole sage is insane and amazing, and incredible. And you don't know it until the last 10/15 minutes of the whole thing! Cinema Paradiso -- Probably too many memories in Brazil and knowing that dad's reviews of many of these films were censored by the authorities. But the resolution/ending of it is nice, too! Talk to Her -- A very sad film, where something that was inappropriate, was actually the event that got the whole thing moving forward from its static position. And, sadly, the justice is that the father will never know about it. It is an impossible situation regardless, but the whole thing was the complete opposite of what Almodovar used to do, which was to have fun with us! The Double Life of Veronique -- possibly one of my favorite films of all time, in that the music, the acting, the story all tie together so beautifully ... and you know right away that there is a duality here ... and the scene with the dolls just cracked me in pieces ... you have 2 dolls, why? because they are fragile and they break ... and guess the story we are watching? The prettiest music ever used in film for me, other than Vangelis in Blade Runner. Blade Runner -- with an impossible ending and conclusion, this film manages to close down with a stunner that is incredible ... and beautifully designed and directed with the music dictating the pace. Tears in the Rain will forever be seen in my mind as one of the most poetic and incredible images I have ever seen ... so literary and cinematic at the same time.
I would have listed LIB were it not that I was brought up in a house where the parents were involved in WW2, and there were many stories, most of them hidden and even mom would never talk about it ... though she stated that she was a nurse, which I doubt since she couldn't even put a band-aid on the kids, but must have been recruited to help. TMWFTE, is by far one of the films I love dearly, and it is clear by half way that there is a problem here and that it is not going to end up well ... and that "hint" was rough, and killed everything else, including Mr. Newton's extra sensitive and perceptive sight. But in between, the film in its first half has some very far out and incredible moments in time travel and other bits, all a bit too fast, but really cool. Probably more films I should list ... but my mind is frozen on this ... I've cried too many times on films. Edited by moshkito - October 29 2020 at 19:19 |

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I saw it once and that was on the big screen in the theater when it first came out. What an amazing movie that was. I really should own it. I agree though about it not really being a tear jerker. It did elicit an emotional response though.

Powder was the movie that really brought me to tears. I never forget to remind to anyone that I always cry at the end of The City Lights. What a tear-jerking moment! No need to insert the video here, I think... Being more territorially-specific, I am from the former USSR and sure love several Soviet moments of tear-jerking. The most obvious one is the cartoon about little mammoth looking for his mom, eras after he fell asleep. At some moment (3 mins 4 secs in the video below) the little mammoth sings a song featuring the line "it is not possible for children to be lost in this world". At that moment every Russian-speaking person usually cries with fertile tears... (English subtitles available) Edited by Woon Deadn - October 30 2020 at 17:35 |

Liotta played Shoeless Joe Jackson, not the father. Liotta was the "voice" telling Costner to build it.....Ultimately so the father would appear to fill that big void Costner had with how he and his father parted. Baseball is played all over the world, the movie just uses baseball as the common theme all the actors had...In another country it could have been futbol, rugby or basketball. But I don't see the movie using any other sport but baseball...but I am biased.
