The endings of It's A Wonderful Life and Rudy make me cry.

Also, there are a few scenes that get to me from a great family movie called Fly Away Home. (I've always loved Canada geese, the subject of the film). I'm not sure if anyone knows the movie but it's based on an amazing yet true story and if you ever have a chance to see it I'd highly recommend it.

Here's the trailer in case you were interested:

Foreign dramas. Western movies/shows just don't cut it for me when it comes to getting emotionally involved.

Wow! I know that there are a lot of youngsters here, but I can't believe no one listed the following movie:

"Brian's Song"

This movie gets me EVERY time. Sad story about Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers when they first came up with the Chicago Bears. It was made in 1971 with James Caan as Brian Piccolo and Billy Dee Williams as Gale Sayers.

If you haven't seen it, go out and rent it.

The movie "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" was recommended to me so I decided to download and watch it a couple of weeks ago. Let me tell you, I'm glad I watched the movie at home alone because I cried for pretty much half the movie. Seriously, if you are an animal lover (and especially a dog lover) I think it would be next to impossible not to cry watching this movie. I don't believe it was ever released in North American theatres and I'm not sure why that is because I think it's an excellent film. Anyway, I liked it so much that I went out and bought it.

I'm curious to know if anyone else has seen it and what they thought of it. In any event, here's some info in case any of you are interested:

I'm the most callous, cold-hearted bastard around but that movie just kills me. Just thinking about the story gets me all emotional.

Wow. I forgot about Fly Away Home. I watched that movie every time I went to my grandparent's house when I was like 6 or 7 years old. I loved it.


I don't think I've ever cried during a movie, but the ending of The Last Samurai almost made me shed a tear. A warrior meeting up with the woman he loves after a huge battle, with Hans Zimmer's gorgeous music playing in the background was almost too much for me to bear.
