With all the recent furore about Toy Story 3 supposedly reducing grown men to gibbering heaps (I've seen it - didn't make me even whimper, though it was excellent), have any Lifers got films that always make them cry? You know - films where you watch them and tell yourself that you won't cry, no matter what... but always end up bawling?
I'll start it off - there are two for me. The first isn't actually a film, but, bizarrely, an episode of Futurama. Anyone who watches the show will know the episode I mean - it's the one with Fry's dog. The end scene makes me blub every time - it's fantastically well done.
Equally as bizarre is my reaction to the film 'Silent Running' - seventies sci-fi hokum with Bruce Dern about the last forests on Earth being sent into space to save them, but the company charged with their upkeep pulling the plug because it's too expensive to keep them running. There are three little robots in the film - I won't spoil the ending for anyone lame enough to want to see it, but suffice it to say that, no matter how many times I see it, I can't help crying.

Gladiator - Also the Hans Zimmer music, when Russel Crowe is walking through the field of wheat to his murdered wife and kid.
Nothing wrong with having a good weep to a film. Shows you got emotions.....well thats what i tell everyone.
UP

Pursuit of Happyness - The relationship between father and son really got me going a few times.
The boy in the striped PJ's;
Life Is Beautiful.
...and Bambi of course!
a TV programme: The littlest Hobo.
As soon as that theme tune kicks in I'm welling up like there's no tomorrow.
Been told 'Up' is emotional but not seen it yet
As I've only repeated what has already been said, one that I'd like to add to the list myself is 'Man on Fire'
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Kite Runner
All made me blub like a baby!
Haven't seen Toy Story 3 or Up though.............
Don't see how Toy Story 3 can make anyone cry.
As for films, I'm gonna show myself up and say P.S I Love You. Got forced into watching this a while back by the girlfriend and as much as I tried not to, I couldn't keep the tears away!
Grenn Mile
Titanic, although was only young dont think it would now
Brought tears to my eyes thinking about it !!!
Trust me, without spoiling it for anyone that hasnt seen it, when you've got a 4 year old jumping on your lap, bawling her eyes out at a particular point, its a bit difficult not too ;-) My little one was devasated and was still crying 30 mins after the film finished bless her.
Forest Gump was a bit sad, where his wife died.
Although The Road nearly had me crying, I hate wasting my life.
