Also, if I pause a film or take a break from it, I rarely cry then. It's only when I let myself get really involved in it. If the connection's broken then it's not as intense. Anyone else get that?
Agreed. Without music movies would be nothing and breaks just don't work. I can't talk in movies either and hate it when others do because it breaks it up too much when I'm trying to just immerse myself in it.

hmm...Let's see.. I know music really drives the movie. It seems to be the truest link to one's emotions... that being said, Forest Gump got me choked up when I first saw it. I don't know why to this day.

Other than that, the only other one I can think of that got me was The Notebook. It happened after a few times of seeing it. The movie just really made me think about what I had recently lost.

The day they successfully place Radiohead's "True Love Waits" in a movie, I'll be balling my eyes out. It's THE saddist and yet most beautifull song to date. Trust me- download it.

Yes. The Pokemon Movies couldn't epitomize this more.

Ahem..

"The Pokemon Movie Writer Template"

Let us introduce, the absolute cutest, most innocent, fragile, friendly, fun, helpful, beautiful, powerful, "thing" (Pokemon) you've ever seen.

Now, let us have it captured, bound, tortured, wracked with pain, cry out in chirps and trills, and ultimately beaten senseless.

Now, let us pretend they are dead and THE ENTIRE CAST OF THE MOVIE is crying with those nifty, yet sad, "glistening" tears.

Oh. And don't forget the five minutes in the end where "someone" starts to glow and fixes everything.

(Meanwhile, I'm balling my damn eyes out)

But yes, I would say most Anime movies do this.

(The Sailor Moon movies are also great examples. Poor, poor Luna.)

Schindler's List gets me everytime. Now that I think about this, alot of movie make me cry or at least feel really sad. I think it's because I just get so much into it. Godfather 3 is definitely one of them. Yes I know, it kinda suck compared to the first 2, but the scene where Micheal (pacino) is trying to scream and no sound comes out.... That's some powerful stuff. He tried so hard to change everything around him, and he still didn't succeed. There's also Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind. GREAT movie. I do have to say that I watched it just a few weeks after I had broken up with my gf.... didn't help

Edit: I forgot "Finding Neverland". Jonny Depp is one of the best, if not the best actor out there.

Boys Don't Cry, funnily enough.

Oh yeah, and a Pokémon movie made me cry too, as discussed above.

Once Were Warriors. I saw it by 'accident' during an overnight in Manchester and it caught me completely off guard. Too much reality all at once. *whew*

Awakenings. Several others on this list have also tugged my heart but that one just got me because he tried so hard, was so excited, touched so many lives... and then had to live with the futility.

Since I'm on a Robin Williams kick, the one where he played the medical student who introduced humor on his residency rounds as medical therapy, and then loses his love to terminal illness. What was that one? He wore a clownshoe on the previews and the video box... famous line was when he manipulated an anatomical model of a skeleton to say, "Donner party, table of four"... help

I think that most of the sensitive people were already driven off by alot of the stuff that happens in that movie before they got to that point. But your right, that was a really good scene... As an aside, Dakota Fanning is pretty darned good for a kid actress.
