@tsarstepan,
Mind like a steal trap, this one has!
@Seed,
uugh, those prequels to star wars, almost made me cry, to see how much lucas fucked that whole franchise up
@djjd62,
He might have messed it up by making the movies, but the acting is what made it such a tragedy
@Seed,
true, hayden wahtshisname was the most wooden actor i've ever seen
Stone Fox.....blubbered like a baby....still cant talk about this movie without my voice going all uncontrollably wobbly LOL
Willy and his dog Searchlight find Willy's grandfather lying in bed. Doc Smith, the only town doctor tells Willy that his grandfather no longer wants to live. After seeing some papers he tells Willy that they owe the state of Wyoming 500 dollars in tax.
The next day Willy enters a dog sled race that has a reward of 500 dollars. Willy sees a sled being pulled by five Samoyeds (fast dogs used for sled racing). The man on the sled signs up for the race, and Willy learns it is Stone Fox, a Native American who doesn't talk to white people and has never lost a race. When the race starts, Willy instantly takes the lead and as they race past Willy's house they see Grandfather standing up watching them.
At the end of the race Searchlight's heart bursts and she dies instantly about 10 feet from the finish line. Stone Fox makes a line on the ground with his boot, takes out his rifle, and warns that if any other racers cross the line, he'll shoot. He then concedes the match to Willy, by letting Willy carry Searchlight across the finish line....gaaawd sniff sniff.
Most of the movies I watch make me cry. I don't like movies with violence and I won't watch anything with torture, which leaves me with pap - which rhymes with sap - which is what I am when I'm watching a movie.
The documentary Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple (2006) is a potent tearjerker. Anyone familiar with the cult and their fatal end should take a cinematic kick to the stomach watching this documentary through to the end. Very tragic indeed.
Life is beautiful
A Jewish man (Roberto Benigni) has a wonderful romance with the help of his humour, but must use that same quality to protect his son in a Nazi death camp.
Agnes Browne
The unexpected death of her husband sends a woman and her seven children, ages 2-14, into emotional turmoil and financial crisis in 1967 Dublin.. (great performance by Angelica Houston)
Like fbaezer, I found Il Postino also remarkable. I don't remember
if I cried though...
Pay It Forward was a major tearjerker.
The Boy in Striped Pajamas
@CalamityJane,
I was a bit cold to Il Postino - I love love love Noiret, and looked into Neruda after viewing the movie..
but that was a no-crier.
@ossobuco,
Oh yes it is, at the end when il postino dies!

Also a very remarkable movie!
@CalamityJane,
Watched it thisavo with the little fella...
@Izzie,
Oh! How did he react? I remember that my daughter was very taken by that
movie and it's still very vividly in her memory.
@CalamityJane,
terribly upset

that was the first time he watched it.
We sat and watched it together today - his request - no tears this time (he was all cried out from leaving his friends at school today), but still much anger and disbelief.
He will be a strong debater as he gets older, I'm sure.
@kuvasz,
That reminds me, I'm sure I cried as a child watching the movie Lassie, Come Home.
Might have cried with the scots movie, Ring of Bright Water.
@Izzie,
Poor S-baby. We had similar reactions about 2 years ago when my daughter
was reading the book in school and also watched the movie. It is so much harder on them when they see someone their own age dying, especially when it is such a senseless death.

I think I cried watching Tosca, a film about aged opera singers - decisively panned all to hell here -

Half a year later, I discover this link is wrong. (Doh!) The title must be different - very much not the same movie. Will post it if I ever figure out the right link.
