Star Trek: Generations was a bad film. And by that I mean who they killed of Kirk when it was a dick move to begin with and enraged a lot of fans. That last scene with the two captains just as Kirk dies still brings me to tears. Another one that made me almost cry heavily was not a movie but an episode of the Next Generation called The Inner Light. For me it was literally heartbreaking to know that an entire race was doomed to die without having even begun to reach for the stars, even for their own survival. And the simple flute theme that was composed for that episode; brilliant. It was a real tear-jerker. There are a few other films that have touched me to the point of crying but at the moment I can't recall them.
Those Pixar movies especially Toy Story 3 and Up.
I don't cry much but those movies hit the spot.
"What Dreams May Come"
and
"Patch Adams"
I love both movies, but I won't watch them because they're both guaranteed to put me in tears.
At one part of the trip to Germany we visited the prisoner / concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen. There wasn't too much to see there since it was entirely destroyed by allied forces at the end of the war, and it was turned into a Holocaust memorial.
However, there was a part I remember when we sat down to watch documentation of the atrocities committed in the camp. A very harsh sight, even for black & white footage. I remember that some of the German teenagers cried; We Didn't.
Why was it, I wondered. Are we so familiar with the Holocaust and its imagery that it no longer provokes an emotional response in us? And even when it does, it is rather anger and disbelief than sadness? Is it the old victim / murderer complex that prevents us from connecting with them, even though we are a fourth generation and should no longer view ourselves as victims and criminals? I truly wished it was not so.
OH, wam.... Toy Story 3 Ending! XP
Yeah. I cried lots of tears for that part. Pass the tissue please... /sniff
Oh and I also cried a little bit at the ending of Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro.
Yup that movie.
Pokemon?
Pokemon! ;D
A lot of love and tears for the cartoon, especially the first season. One of my favorite episodes is 48, "Holy Matrimony"
http://pokemonepisode.org/episode-48-holy-matrimony/ (http://pokemonepisode.org/episode-48-holy-matrimony/)
The gang finds out that James is actually from some noble rich family and that he escaped home and became an "outlaw" after refusing their will to marry an annoying noble girl. Jessie and Meouth try to push him into getting married so they could use their family's money but quickly find out the girl is such a creepy dominatrix (with a real whip lol) that she even makes Jessie look good.
I think the ending of this episode is the closest ever that Jessie and James get to kissing; Possibly the only sign in the series that there might be something more between them than platonic friendship.
And Jessie has a tragic background to, one of poverty if I recall. While Meowth learned to talk in the pursuit of an unrequited love. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the original Team Rocket trio are far and away the best characters in the series. Tragicomic villains who aren't evil so much as charmingly flawed and human. Their greatest victims are themselves, but at least they're together in that.
Yup. That was in my list of movies that made me cry. Also one of my all-time favorite quotes.
"Twisted Sister? Who's she?"
"It's a he. Actually it's a they."
And I can never listen to "I Get Around" by the Beach Boys without immediately thinking of the ship's computer 'dancing' and the little gremlin-like alien rocking out.
"Hey Big Al! Oink oink! Too many Twinkies!" :D
That movie was just so good. The climax was great. The denoument was bittersweet and the ending was so sad, but in a good way. Pee-Wee Herman UFO ftw! ;D
Also the end of the Walking Dead game got me to cry real hard.
The BBC documentary called Krakatoa: Volcano of destruction.I think I watched that before.
Most disaster documentaries are really sad.
