What movies have you crying like a big girly wuss?

[LittleJP]

The Thin Red line, just the beauty of the end, cracks my shell of manliness every time I watch it. The image at the end of Blackhawk Down also does it, the bleak and hopeless ending, knowing that stuff will continue to go on, and the picture of them running against the dusty, hopeless sky.

that's not what is sad about that movie man. If you were in the military you'd understand. To see a general get on his knees and wipe up blood? Never seen. Shows you how much pain he was feeling. Just like the rangers Capt. when he held his troop's hand when the troop said, "Don't go out there without me." That is where the powerfull stuff is.

I can't think of the last time I felt choked up enough over a movie to be even close to crying. Just can't get into the storyline as much, guess. Quite a few books, yes. And for some odd reason sometimes. But not movies.

Dude... the BRAVE LITTLE TOATSTER kinda made me sad in some parts.... the other night it was on TV so i watched it.. that is a great movie.When I first watched it when i was like four that big magnetic scrap crane thing scared me tho...

Anyone see "Life is Beautiful"? That is jsut a well written movie, and there is jsut this one part that... I won't say for reason of a spoiler but....
The movie takes place during WWII, and the Nazis take away this guy and his family.. it is just really sad.

Antitrust made me almost cry of joy becasue THAT IS SUCH A GREAT MOVIE (sorry, shameless plug... but seriously even though it did horrible in teh box office it is one of my favorites.. go rent it..)

[LittleJP]

I looked at the general wiping the blood in a different manner. The blood never is picked up; it just gets spread. This, to me, meant that the general's actions were merely spreading the problem rather than fixing it, and thus I lost respect for him : P.


And I do have military background; I watched it with my dad (intelligence officer in west germany in the 60s) and my granddad (navy veteran of WW2 -his ship, on which he was a radio officer, was sunk by kamikazes in the philipines). Oh well, I guess I just have a differing view -disagreeing is good.

[puckmaster]

Bamby. Not realy, but gladiator got me close though.

[Psycow]

A movie that got me close to tears was Satan's Prey. Not that it was sad, just because it was so terrible bad, can't believe I wasted the time watching that. Must be the worst movie ever made Ok, actually I was too busy laughin at how terrible the acting is to actually cry but thinking about how I can never get that hour and a half back...

[wingman898]

If you had a military background you'd realize that people in the military need to follow the orders that are given to them...like it or not. Why in the world would you lose respect for him...he clearly didn't agree with the parameters of that mission(lack of air support mainly). He didn't cause more death......the beurocrats in wash. did.

I'd reiterate my previous statement but it's right up there......He wiped that up because he knew it shouldn't have been that way.....it was a display of guilt/sadness that he HAD to send those men in to die.

[LittleJP]

fine fine, i guess i didnt REALLY mean i lost respect. Im just, uhhh, not good with words (?). Oh well I see what you see in it. No harm intended. (dont hurt me) Lol.

Hey Wingman, The guy who said to not go out there without him, passed away. That was Ruiz.

The part that got me in BlackHawk Down was the room of bodybags at the end. I've lost too many friends that I know were in those same bags after training accidents etc....

Saving Private Ryan, there is something powerful in going to a WW2 cemetery in Europe. Seeing the rows upon symmetrical rows of headstones. I couldn't handle it real well when I saw them in real life nor on film.

Glory, when the 2 antagonists (broderick and Washington) get thrown into the grave, one atop the other. To spend eternity with the man who you had fought so much with.

and The Crow, it came along at a poignant time in my life.

Lastly, one that got me severely messed up when seeing, but for only one scene, was Behind Enemy Lines. Too much personal experience in that area of the world during that time frame. When he ends up in the mass grave, I lost it and went kinda catatonic for a bit. Freaked out my buddy who's bright idea it was to watch that movie.

and yes, blackhawk down was a 3 hour gun battle on film. They were depicting a gun battle. Funny how that works.

Being in the military for over 8 years now, sometimes those comrades-in-arms movies get to me (most the time I just get really mad, like the scene in Saving Private Ryan, where the wuss reporter guy is sitting on the stairs while the guy is fighting with the german upstairs...I get mad everytime I watch that part, but sometimes they get to me).
However, any movie where someone loses someone they truly love really gets to me. I happen to love my wife a great deal, and the thought of losing her, well...
If that makes me a wuss, then I am proud to be one
I think Where the Red Fern Grows was worse for me than Ol' Yellar, because I had an Irish Setter when I was growing up.

Oh yeah, and The Piano. The movie didn't make me cry, but I wanted to cry because it sucked sooooooo bad and my ex-wife was making me watch it

Schindler's list... by far.

[MikeCouves]

Well, don't laugh, but A Walk to Remember. The end got me all lumpy. That's about all I can recall. But I must say in Black Hawk Down when they revaged the chopper I was furious. It's terrible because that kind of stuff happens in real life.

[bigsarge72]

The really terrible thing is...that did happen in real life. One of the wives who didn't know if her husband was alive or dead during that situation, found out he was dead when she saw the Somalis dragging her husband's body through the streets of Mogadishu.
