Tough one Syd, don't know atm but will think about it.
A film that left me a little despondent (although not crying) was The Mist. I felt the ending was quite deflating. Sometimes you know the happy ending will be cheesy and prefer more realistic drama, but with this one the ending was so tragic that although it added to the film, I think it kills of anyone's desire to see the film again.

You must have shed a tear.......I know you have had misty eyes over something, other than the obvious....
Little House On The Prairie..had me in tears as a TV programme......
Love Story.....Made me and my mate Blub all the way to the Wimpy.....
Anything with Adam Sandler in.
Who will love my children with Anne Margaret.
Hotel Rwanda
I may have been a bit teary (may, I won't say for sure, I'm too macho for that!) during the end of AI. Bless, that poor ikkle robot boy who luv'd his human mom. I saw it at the cinema at the time with a chavvy date. I remarked how sad it was but her response suggested that she thought it was a sign of me being a bit poofy! Plus, she always SHOUTED in her texts!
Kramer versus Kramer.
not a film but ..........I cried my eyes out at The Royle Family (Nannas death)..........I couldn't believe how sad that was.
towards the end of An Officer and a Gentleman a soldier hangs himself - girlfriend rejected him and i found myself upset which is unusual because i am usually as hard as nails with weepy films
"Imitation of life"
E pissing T!
No parent should ever let their child watch that film until they are old enough to tell the difference between fact and fiction
Me too...although I was 8 at the time. It was the bit where we found out that John Candy's wife was dead and that he had no-where to go at christmas so Steve Martin brought him home
But i don't feel that embarrassed about it, as one of my male friends cried at 'Face/Off'
Shadowlands
I haven't seen it but from what I've heard The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2008) is possibly the most devasting and saddest film ever made. It's set in a Nazi extermination camp for Jews.

That is an incredibly sad film - I don't think I cried though as I knew what was coming (I'd read the book) my friend did though. A very moving and disturbing film.
As a young child my parents took me to the cinema to see Tarus Bulba - I cried at that - I think I fell in love with Tony Curtis when I was aged about 7.
for me it's this one Once were Warriors
it was out in 1994 - based in New Zealand about a violent father and the effect it has on his family the ending had me in tears
Me too.
Also: Escape From The Dark, which had me howling from the cinema in floods of tears when I was aged about 7.
And Schindler's List, obviously.

I hate that film. Exploitative in the worst way. It's fiction, designed to upset.
"Imitation of life"

The Lion King ... every time
I hadn't read The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas when I saw the film ... I don't remember crying, but I was utterly shocked

Yep! tis ET for me too.
I cried in the cinema when he got all mouldy & deaded... managed to pull myself together (I was a teenager, in the cinema with other teenagers).. and then I lost it again at the end when he said goodbye to Elliot... and the lights came on really really quickly at the end!
The Lion King ... every time

I have never forgiven Disney for the Lion King.. who knew??? WHO BLOODY KNEW???
I thought I was settling down to watch a nice fluffy animated cartoon with my daughter.... not the disney film that topped Bambi in the "lets knock off a parent" stakes!
Hate watching films with hard hearted peeps, that have one eye on you looking for tears.....
Love watching a weepy, alone......and blubbering..............being allowed to dry your eyes....and carry on as normal...(still sniffing slightly, and thinking)
I'm not a great film watcher....I tend to have a spurt every now and again, but of the one's I've seen, none, allthough some are sad I grant you. I tend to get more emotional at real life TBH.
Hell, more than I can count! V rarely cry in rl, but films and soppy stuff on tele will get me going every time.. The ones that first spring to mind apart from those already mentioned, (especially Shadowlands and The Notebook) : Sophie's Choice, Legends of The Fall, Bridges of Madison County
