I have watched many films but there are some that just no matter how many times you watch you need a box of hankies, one i know of is The fighting sullivan's although not a Brit movie it gets me every time also The colour Purple and imatation of life these films always get to me. I know some men as well that cry over film's but dont let anyone knowWatched the Chalk Garden recently with Hayley mill's and at the end it made me cry.Is there any films that gets anyone else crying.

My Favourite Year, when O'Toole goes to 'spy' on his daughter, but can't get the courage to meet her.

Crikey, what an avatar.

To answer your question, oddly enough it's not a live action film but an animation that gets to me; The Plague Dogs. You spend most of the film rooting for the two mutts but obviously there can only be one outcome....

(When the Wind Blows has a similar effect)

Perhaps no longer politically correct, but Judy Garland at the end of A Star is Born declaring that she is Mrs Norman Maine.

Start every day with a smile and get it over with.

A Matter of Life and Death (1946) [aka Stairway to Heaven]. I've seen it hundreds of times (literally), many times on the big screen. But I'm guaranteed to be shedding a tear at various points through it, and at the end I'll be in floods of tears.

It's my favourite film of all time (obviously). I know just about everything there is to know about it, how they made it and all that. I know it almost line by line. But it still hits all the right buttons for me.

It doesn't matter if I'm by myself or in an audience of a few hundred (or 2,000 on one occasion). But it's not because it's sad, it's because it's so beautiful, everything about it. The performances, the script, the design, the photography, and especially the ideas behind it.

But I readily admit, I'm an old softie and will often cry when I'm so moved. AMOLAD isn't the only film that has ever made me cry, but it's the only one that is guaranteed to do so after so many viewings

Another film that is sure to make me cry is Jane Eyre the original version what a classic.

thank you DB7 for your blushing face, bless you

A beautiful moment indeed.

The cracked mirror scene in The Apartment is about as painful as film gets for me. As for a British film, the death of Delius in Song of Summer never fails.

ChristineCB

The first two homecoming scenes in THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES, where handless Harold Russell stands on his front-lawn as his family gathers around him and his mom sobs, and then when Fredric March hushes up his two teenagers and lets Myrna Loy keep asking the kids why they won't answer her - "Who was at the door?" - and she leans out.

Goodbye Mr Chips the 1939 version with Robert Donat seems to make me cry the most !!! if mr chips comes on the box now I refuse to watch it

In 'The Long Haul' Victor Mature finds out that his son isn't really his, so he buggers off with Diana Dors. At the end he discovers the boy is very ill and rushes back to see him. A doctor asks him 'Are you the father?', Vic replies 'Yes, I am his father'. Cue lots of blubbing in the Batcave.

Amélie and Cinema Paradiso for starters. A Very Long Engagement, Cyrano de Bergerac, Goodnight Mister Tom, The Man Who Cried, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, The English Patient, Closely Observed Trains, The Way to the Stars, Roman Holiday, All Quiet on the Western Front, and especially Shooting the Past.

The Spitfire Grill ...... my friend Kate was still crying over an hour later!

Also, not solely because of the film, but Il Postino assumes epic sadness levels when one recalls the real life tragedy of Massimo Troisi
