Books, films, songs etc that made you cry like a baby. *Amnesty*

[Carvalho Diablo]

If I may, I'll start off with two :

 

John Irving's brilliant A Prayer For Owen Meany, notably the bunker scene near the end. Unbelievable book.

 

 

Also, the first time I heard Nick Cave's And No More Shall We Part, that song hit me like a ton of bricks. My nan had died just a year or so earlier and even today, when I hear that song it's goosebump city.

 

 

Over to you; books, films, songs, any kind of media or whatever you like really, but remember, this is an amnesty thread...

[Rico1304]

Ha ha I went on holiday with a mate of mine a few years ago, I read Captain Corelli's Mandolin whilst out there. When I got,to the last couple of chapters I made an excuse to go back to the room because I knew I was going to blub.

[Ginny]

The end of dead poets society

The end of ET

The end of King Kong

[Adebisi]

These 3 episodes always seem to leave me close to shedding a single manly tear 

[Bobby Hundreds]

That futurama one with his nephew and the lucky clover as shown above was really sweet and sad.

[Dr Nowt]

The bit in any movie where the bad guy doesn't win.

 

Yours, Jimmy

[El Rojo]

This gets me every time. Absolutely heartbreaking.

 

[ZonkoVille77]

A wonderful life. Every year.

[Anubis]

Fessed up to the end of It's A Wonderful Life yesterday.

A graphic novel called WE3 also springs immediately to mind.

[Hand Shandy]

First ten minutes of Up.

 

Not what I was expecting when I went in the cinema and it knocked me sideways.

[Tony Moanero]

I'd happily post my selections in a thread that wasn't an amnesty one. There's nothing wrong with men crying, I do it regularly.

 

The Snowman

 

Watership Down

 

A Lion Called Christian

 

He Ain't heavy, He's My Brother

 

You'll Never Walk Alone

First ten minutes of Up.

 

Not what I was expecting when I went in the cinema and it knocked me sideways.

Christ don't remind me. Even the Always Sunny.. parody choked me up. I remember the first time I watched it was with mates at uni. One laid on his bed and then me on one sofa, another lad on the other. Basically none of us could see each other's faces. There was an awful lot of sniffing and unconvincing 'I'm not crying' from the three of us. 

 

 

Used to hate watching Disney/Pixar films with my ex because she would always cry and if I didn't want to already, seeing her crying would almost push me over the edge. Thank God I'm now so apathetic.

Its just awful, isnt it?

 

We went to see it at the cinema and I blubbed and then we watched it on DVD at home and I just went to pieces. I've never dared watch it since

[Sugar Ape]

Don't think I've cried over a film. Lion King was quite sad though.

[Dr Nowt]

Red Dog; a specific part towards the end did make me come over all peculiar.

Druss the legend

Million Dollar baby

Druss is a great shout Kal-El as we discussed in another thread.

I re-read Winter Warriors during the week and I think that in a lot of ways it could well be Gemmell's masterpiece. Very underrated book imo. The final couple of chapters had me blubbing. Incredibly moving.

 

[Lee909]

I'll have to pick that one up im not sure i have read it.

[Boss]

Any video on youtube where deaf people hear for the first time, i'm gone.

[KMD7]

The final episode of frasier or specifically the scene where he and his dad embrace at the end. Does me everytime

[Boss]

Lion King - When Simba's saying "dad wake up" to Mufasa.

Forrest Gump - when Jenny comes back

American Beauty - at the end when he does the monologue

Shawshank Redemption - burst into tears when Andy plays the music through the prison tannoy

Good Will Hunting - When Ben Affleck's character goes to Will's house and realises he's gone, chokes me up big time.

Up- the whole of it.

[ZonkoVille77]

First time I saw wall-e.

But I think it was more due to the comedown off a number of narcotics the night before.

[KMD7]

 

 

Forrest Gump - when Jenny comes back

 

The whole film chokes me up.
