Possibly life-altering, but hard to give that much credit to one film.

Personally i haven\'t cried at many movies. However the first one hit me as a child when i saw Babe, the dino movie not the stinklin pig movie,when his poor mother was blow away. Other then that the original Crow hit me like a ton of bricks even to this day and What Dreams may Become always dragged out a tear in select parts.
Finn\'s mentioned \"Green Mile\" and I agree, it\'s a great touching movie.
My tearjerkers: \"Pay it Forward\" and this will surprize many people, but I always find that the funeral in \"Four Weddings and Funeral\", chokes me up. When John Hanah reads W.H.Auden\'s poem, that\'s it, I\'m struggling to hold back the tears.

I tear up when characters I feel for are wounded, both physically and mentally. For instance the end of Mask really tears me up, the Death of Boromir, the Death of Leon. Anytime I watch the Special Edition of Star Wars and I have to see Greedo shoot first. I can\'t make it through Saving Private Ryan, way too emotional.

Yeah Private ryan had some pretty teary moments for me. The scene towards the end where the jewish GI and the German have that knife fight, that was just horrible stuff to watch.
On the positive side I was in a pretty shitty place in my life when this came out and it really helped me get some perspective.

More moments brought up here that hit me.
Death of Boromir- First arrow had me thinking \"No! damnit nOOO!\" after that I think my buddies had to restrain me from shouting at him to get up and fight...Don\'t think the other movie goers would appreciate that
Saving Ryans Privates- The most emotive moment had to be when the German they let go ended up taking his toll in the end battle for the bridge! I was mentaly willing him to spontainiously combust or something, but it was worth it in the end when the cowardly guy finally broke and stood up to him...I still think he should\'ve wasted the guy.
N.S.A , on the subject of anime movies has anyone else seen Samurai X? It\'s so full of imagery and a great emotional plot!

Yeah, but not on CMON.Originally posted by Torn blue sky
Hey, watching Final Fantasy IIV : Advent Children again for the umpteenth time I realised that it was actually one of the only movies to touch me on an incredible level, I usualy don\'t really feel too emotive watching movies at all!
What Movies really speak to you guys?
Or am I just a freak?
( Conceded, I probably am a freak on some level
Great, neither am I.:evil:

Well if i\'m a true social outcast type freak then i\'m damn proud of it
I don\'t have an obligation to conform to society and all the fashionistas in london. As long as i\'m not breaking the law (bend it a little maybe), it\'s a free choice to make. Anyone who tells me otherwise can kiss my ass! :kiss::innocent:

@ Torn Sky: Samurai X was decent but I have always been a fan of Initial D
Legends of the Fall: when the brother dies in battle
Most serious war movies were somebody does something brave/stupid to save all of his buddies.

The end of The Last Samurai and Gladiator always get me.
However there are two films that I defy you to watch all the way though without crying at the end.
1. Stalingrad - Presents German soldiers as actual humans rather than faceless targets for the Allies to shoot.
2. Brotherhood - How two brothers get conscripted in the Korean war and how the Elder is determined to protect his brother at any cost. You will cry at the ending.
As for films that make me happy, I quite like Red Dawn (It made me proud to be American lol) and Billy Elliot.
