"Mister Roberts" gets me every time. I'm sure there are others but that one sticks out.

Winter Passing, when she puts her kitten in the bag and drops it in the water because it has feline lukemia. Poor kitty.

Big Fish was probably the most recent one. I think this is the 19th time I've commented in a thread like this, so a search may yield more.

I know that's not what you asked, but I felt it was worth saying.

What part of Good Will Hunting do people cry at?

For me, I remember Forest Gump (both "Is he smart" and when he is talking to his wife at her grave)

I also remember What Dreams May Come, when Robin Williams character says something like "I gave up eternity just to spend 5 minutes with you."

Oh yeah, and Crash, where it appears the locksmith guy's daughter is shot by the looted shop owner.

Did you really think she had been shot? When the lady was buying the bullets, as soon as that scene ended I turned to my buddy and was like, "Those are blanks aren't they?"

I don't know what blanks look like, and obviously missed any dramatic foreshadowing, which made it all the more emotional for me. (I'm also one of the few people on the internet who admits that he didn't see the twist at the end of the Sixth Sense coming).

OMG You're so smart and clever. We dull-witted plebeians would never be able to foresee such an ingenius plot device.

I never figured out The Sixth Sense either, but the whole buying bullets randomly didn't make sense to me at all. So I was just like, "There's got to be a reason for this stuff," and the only reasonable thing I could think of was that she had bought blanks.

Okay, now I vaguely remember the scene where she bought them. Was it shot as though she was just randomly picking out some ammo? I do remember wondering why they were showing her buy bullets. Funny enough, I had forgotten about the scene until your post.

Either way, as you can imagine, it made the scene much more dramatic for me.

I'm pretty young so sensitive movies haven't really had an effect on me because I've never really understood them, but most recently I came really close to crying while watching Million Dollar Baby. Its kinda hard not to when around 20% of the theater is balling their eyes out.

Yeah, I remember watching Ghost (Demi Moore and the Swazy guy), and laughing at all the chicks in the place who were balling. Gee, that doesn't date me too much, does it?

Ikiru is the only movie to really make me cry.

Loved the film, but wasn't particularly effected by it. Amazing film.

Re: Movies That Made You Cry Like a Girl
 

Good Will Hunting, maybe.
Lassie, definitely.

Re: Movies That Made You Cry Like a Girl
 

In middle school, Jack got me pretty choked up when he had the panic attack.

The Green Mile

Again, when I was younger, The War.

Big Fish choked me up a bit at the end.

I find the ending, where he's not at the house when Affleck goes to pick him up, and Williams reads the letter, and the Elliott Smith song is playing, to be very well done. I might cry at that. Also maybe during one of his therapy sessions.

Re: Movies That Made You Cry Like a Girl
 

Maybe Miracle on Ice.

Re: Movies That Made You Cry Like a Girl
 

Grave of the Fireflies
Life is Beautiful
Big Fish somehow gets me every time.

Re: Movies That Made You Cry Like a Girl
 

Grave of the Fireflies
Alice in the Cities
My Life as a Dog
Nights of Cabiria
maybe Jacob's Ladder, can't remember
maybe Lost in Translation, can't remember -- but I probably wanted to and at more than one point
Taxi Driver and Heat both do a big number on my emotions, but don't make me cry
COol Hand Luke puts me pretty close to it
L'Atalante hits a few primal things in me and gets me pretty emotional, don't think to the crying stage though
The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser got me close, if I recall correctly
Paris Texas
The Black Marble

The last 20 minutes of that movie are just soul-destroying.

I'd have to watch it again first and I halted my Netflix for a while, so not for a bit. It's worth doing justice to. It's got Harry Dean Stanton in it, and he's really good. And some astonishing photography. It's a little artsy, and has lots of honest emotion, but also starts to veer toward some strange emotional territory in a way that can be a little befuddlng or seem a bit arch. It mixes love and good intentions with a sort of irreconcilable despair in a very unusual way. You have to have space in your head for flawed people, and a less than angry or crushing need for quick and tidy plots and solutions, if you want to enjoy this film or not miss some of what it's getting at. If you do, it's perhaps a little deeper than it looks, and has some very satisfying parts to it.

Long, though, and not fast-paced -- a warning.
