Movies where you "almost" cried

[Trace2010]

Root, thank you.

I still state...if Les Miserables does nothing to you (whether you like it or not), you just aren't human.

"Phantom" was pretty powerful too (movie's fine...but do yourself a favor...see it live)

The last episode in season 4 of House had me crying.

Well, Ladder 49 had me pretty close.

I don't cry during movies/shows, but there are two times I felt like it might be appropriate: The episode of Band of Brothers called Breaking Point. Pink Floyd's The Wall (you'd need to know a lot about the album/band going in).

whoops. Forgot 'Ladder 49'. My mom and I watched it on the big screen....Oh, jesus, we must've used up half the box each!

 

[Trace2010]

I forgot to mention this one:


The release of
"Star Wars: Special Edition"

Just hearing the opening chords of those Overtures in Digital Surround sound-I would have paid a million dollars to sit in a dark theater (with no picture) and listen that night.

I almost cried when Body got shot by O-Dog at the endo of the 4th season of The Wire.

^I had a similar experience with the "Superman Overture" when it was released in Superman Returns...


...but it was ruined when the uncultured ingrate sitting next to me uttered the words "Boy, glad that's over..."

I nearly killed the man on the spot right then and there.

There are a surprising amount of threads about crying . Weird.

 

[Divine-Darkness]

Just about anything by Spielberg (that was serious).

The one by him that had me bawling my eyes out would have to be A.I.: Artificial Intelligence

Other than Spielberg, I'll call on:

Brokeback Mountain - this close, THIS CLOSE
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard
Cast Away - WILSON!

 

[Ares Tyr]

I've never cried during a movie, but I got close at the end of "The Last Samurai".

 

[bccboy325]

yeah forgot cast way ='[
lol

 

[Hellion25]

I guess the closest I came was the first time I watched Lion King, other than that I guess I detach myself from movies too much most of the time. I probably shouldn't do that but there you go.

 

[Ragis]

I almost cried watching Armageddon for the first time, and The Green Mile every single time :S

 

[Mistah Kurtz]

There are a surprising amount of threads about crying . Weird.

Who would have thought nerds had emotional problems

 

[Jobz]

I've never actually "cried" because of a movie, but a few moments have had be holding back tears. One was the part in I Am Legend where Will Smith is in the movie store talking to the female manikin and begging her to say Hello to him. Almost broke down right there.

One other one that sticks out was from The Pursuit of Happiness when Will Smith and his son are in the bathroom together.

Hmmm...apparently Will Smith movies have the ability to bring me to the verge of tears...

I have to say I got pretty emotional in Blood Diamond when Danny Archer died. There aren't that many Rhodesians left in the world and even though he's a fictional character I was still very moved.

Edit: The Green Mile gets me every time as well. Don't actually cry per se but feel pretty damn depressed.
