What was the last movie to make you cry?

Embarrassingly so- Marley and Me did it for me like nothing else. I saw it with my brother (big dude- commercial fisherman type) on Christmas Eve, and the two of us sat there in the theater holding hands and crying like little babies.

Maybe a little too soon, too close to home.

    I just rewatched "Grand Canyon" with Steve Martin, Kevin Klien, Mary MacDonald, Danny Glover and others, and got all choked up in several spots again... the earthquake, the car jacking, the baby, the close credits.

    it takes a really emotional and true to life movie to do this to me. Like, every time I watch Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, I loose it when Bones responds for Scotty about Spoke over the intercom, "Jim, you better get down here. Better hurry." and the music swells and Kirk runs and I burst out in tears...

    Part of loosing myself in a movie is letting it pull me enough to make me cry. Lots of movies make me cry. I cried a little bit during parts of the new "Star Trek".

    The last movie that I saw that really gets me was Kenneth Branagh's "Hamlet". Plenty of places the language alone makes me weepy, but the graveyard scene always gets me.

    "Wit" with Emma Thompson is devastating.

    Milk was the last movie to make me actually cry really hard.

    Before that it was Brokeback Mountain, I sobbed for like two days after seeing it in theaters. Kinda embarrassing really.

    I guess gay guys dying really hits me hard when I watch it. :/

    Slumdog Millionaire. Yeah, I'm a wuss.

    It's just that I got to thinking about the movie's theme of people being trapped on a certain path in life, and when Jamal kisses Latika in the end, I couldn't help thinking about how things usually work out for the 99.9% of people who don't win big on a gameshow- like Jamal's brother or the little blinded kid.

    Again, wuss = me. I tried to hide it but a couple of tears leaked out.

    Sunshine.

    Do I have to worry about spoilers with a two year old movie?

    The final scene where the sunlight brightens back on Earth, and you know that the mission was successful, and all the sacrifices of the crew were worth it made me all weepy.

    There's a scene in The Exploding Girl that involves a bath. I almost lost it there. It plays next weekend at SIFF, highly recommended:

    One day prior I saw The Cove (about dolphin killing). Made me (and many others) weepy in an expected way. It also plays during SIFF's opening weekend and is also highly recommended:

    Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me and Sometimes Dad. I've lost a lot of family members to cancer, and watching the main character's mom going through chemo and finally dying (not a spoiler), and all that in the context of her relationship with her son made my eyes well up and a few tears may or may not have been shed.

    (And before that, it was Milk, when they show the vigil at the end.)

    I'm not really sentimental, but I'm very sensitive. So for me it was Radio with Cuba Gooding Jr. I didn't cry a lot, but I welled up. You just don't mistreat people that way...

    (I'm patting your back for sharing your story about Marley and Me)
