Sad movies: tear-jerkers required

[Oakie]

Got a TXT from my daughter last night. She's been seing a manly-man (he's a Personal Trainer - 'action man, sleep under the stars, go for a 20km stroll across the Remarkables for pleasure' type of guy). Anyway they were watching the movie 'Pay it Forward' last night and he finished up crying big man-tears ('crying like a big sooky la la' to use my daughter's words). Seems he can't handle sad movies.
So of course my daughter being the kind and empathetic girl she is is now racking her brains trying to come up with more and sadder movies for him to watch.
We came up with 'The Pursuit of Happines', The Notebook' and 'Ghost' but there must be a hundred other movies out there that could reduce a manly-man to a a quivering-lipped jelly fish ... so get naming them please ...

im not much of a cryer, but million dollar baby nearly got me... cant think of any others that get me going. watership down gets most, but not me. [im too busy pecking at where they deviated from the book]

Not a movie but the second episode of the mini-series 'From The Earth to the Moon' is getting close.

[marioc]

Seven,right at the end when Brad Pitt realises its his wifes head in the box

[Mystery]

Try these:

City of Angels
The Green Mile
Titanic

All have scenes that could make a grown man cry

[Stickchick]

What about E.T? I know a fair few people found that to be a tear jerker

[skelstar]

City of Angels

A grown man would have to get to the end of that movie first. Its aweful

Aweful as in it captured all your attention?
Or
Awful as in horrible/disgusting/boring etc etc?

Before Sunrise.

Well, not really a tearjerker, as such, but I bet he'd enjoy it.

I bet. Never seen it, don't want to, but while we're on that general style of title, City of God is a fuckin' awesome film.

[FlangMasterJ]

Empire of the Sun get's me a little choked up.

Also in Commando when Matrix's daughter is kidnapped.

[SpeedyGirl]

Armageddon! Sad to admit it got me... and i dont cry, ever!

If you want a movie that is likely to fuck around with some stuff inside you I'd recommend "Requiem for a Dream". It's an interesting one - not a tear jerker - bound to make you think about where you are and what to be happy about.

Awful as in horrible/disgusting/boring etc etc?

I think you know me well enough to work that out Hels.

Nick Cage in The Rock is 'ok' Nick Cage in a drippy romantic role is 'not ok'

Mmm, yes indeed. I was going to recommend it myself, but the original request was for 'tearjerkers', after all, and by the end of RFaD we don't really feel much for the protagonists beyond mild disgust.

So... wanna buy some smack?
