Guys* - films you have blubbed** too

[IrishRob]

Was watching 'Million Dollar Baby' (again) last night and I will admit that towards the end I did have a lump in my throat, the other half.... nothing.

Anyone else care to join the club - oh and I am referring to films with a bit of depth here (not formulaic chick flicks).

* Awaiting the first person to see 'don't you mean g@ys'
** 'Blubbed' meaning crying, this is not a euphamism for something else


Cr@p typo in the heading - please don't send me to grammar hell.

I got something in my eye whilst watching Seven Pounds :rolleyes:

Seven pounds for sure. I love the piano music in that.

What else?

Marley & Me (You'll know what I mean if you've had pets before)
Grave of the fireflies (Superb animé)

There's loads more too.

[El Saxo]

Only 2 films have ever actually reduced me to tears, Schindler's List and Hotel Rwanda, both amazingly powerful films, I defy anyone not to be moved by them.

[ophic]

Marley & Me (You'll know what I mean if you've had pets before)
That got me too, at the end. But I also thought the whole film was a bit poo. Plot summary:
A couple got a dog, did stuff, then the dog died.

Sort of sad with no good bits to make up for it.

[Bri w]

"It's a wonderful life" - a black and white starring James Stewart.

Sorry, i'm an old B&W fan - more atmosphere.

[Neeja]

Touching The Void

"It's a wonderful life" - a black and white starring James Stewart.

That one nearly got me! They showed it last Xmas at the Cornerhouse in Manchester - brilliant film, but probably a different type of 'lump in throat' from the 2 I posted above.

[Kinvig]

It took all my british stiff-upper-lipidness to get thru' The Green Mile without a tear!

That's the only movie that I've nearly been a big girl's blouse whilst watching!

Actually yes that one is the king of blubbers for me. God anyone reading this thread would think I blub at anything... :?

[plowsie]

I cried Saturday night watching X-Factor.

Films -

Green Mile
I am Legend

[fizzwheel]

Forest Gump has been known to set me off. As can the end Scene in the cemetary of Saving Private Ryan, The last 30 minutes or so of The Shawshank Redemption also..

[maff]

agree with marley and me. i took my 12yr old niece to see that and the pair of us broke down

i am legend when he snapped his dogs neck filled me up

any film that shows a man crying fills me up

saving private ryan after the first 20mins or so plus the bit where giovanni ribisi character called for his mum

im more of a fill up person than a blubber

[Drew Carey]

I am not asshamed to admit it but..... Bicentanial man has been known to make me shed a small tear or so.

[kitkat]

when I was pregnant I blamed a lot on hormones but have run out of excuses now. I cry at loads of stuff all the time.

Yesterday - 2 adverts - Miles doesnt cry anymore (NSPCC) No one wanted Barney (Adopt a dog advert thingy)

Films - I am Legend, King Kong (they shot the big monkey) The Yearling (old old film)

[Dicky Ticker]

As a kid things like Tarka,Lassie and Greyfriars Bobby got me going

[ophic]

Yep, the beach scene in the shawshank redemption is great and saving private Ryan also.

[stewie]

Oh yeah and Spatacus as well ''Im spatacus, Im spatacus, etc '' :smt022

[Owenski]

find most films too corney to find upsetting but the first time of watching Gladiator I did have a bit of a chin wobble and made the desision to mock the misses for crying to avoid a tear myself ;)
we're all guilty of that im sure!

[SVDragRacer]

I shed a small tear at the worlds fastest indian with anthony hopkins, Bert Munro just apitamised the true man of motorcycling performance. When he did his run and got the record was just brilliant.

Plus my dads a new Zealander and saw his garage that its shows in the film and how close they managed to get it to the real thing, so there was a bit of a connection to me (loose connection i know).

[IrishRob]

The doors on that closet are going mad ;)

[thulfi]

Have come close to some of the films above but then most the time just keep telling myself 'this is fake, this is fake, these actors r minted, these actors r minted'. That does the trick!

[Bluefish]

Green Mile



i concurr

[Graciepants]

Like a baby... :oops: :oops: :oops:

me2! and green mile.

[Baph]

The mist... end scene.
Also, and i'm going to buck the trend here, High School Musical 3. Sat next to my daughter in the cinema. Did she know? Did she hell!

[dawn07]

The torture scene at the end of 'Baveheart':smt022

[TazDaz]

Just watched (listened in the background) to Penelope...random film about a bird with a pigs nose...enjoyable and had a lot of British actors in it. The underlying message of beauty isn't skin deep came through to me...anyho...I'm off to eat some testosterone pills now!

[speedplay]

Beginning to think theres something wrong with me :(

I just detach myself as "its just a film".

[SV-net]

Ghost:smt010

[Richie]

Some kind of Wonderful
Pretty in Pink

I could not believe it when my other half started this thread as I told him there was no way any of you guys on here were going to admit to blubbing. Well good on you all for being a man and admitting it :) but i do agree that it is just a film. I dont actually ever remember crying to any films. Girls some advise here!!! Am I a bit wierd ????

[davepreston]

pegaus have you been sending out your voodoo emotion thing again

[Bluefish]

The torture scene at the end of 'Baveheart':smt022

+1, but i was born in bonny scotland

[-Ralph-]

Schindler's List defo, anger and a lumpy throat in equal measure.

The Lion King :smt089, but that's more of a personal reminder thing about seeing my father die, and the relationship we had when he was alive.

Green Mile just made me switch it off, I'm not good with gory stuff or unnecessary dry sponge frying of human beings.

[lukemillar]

Now, in fairness I didn't out-and-out blubb. At least I am not naive enough to actually think that I wear the trousers in our house ;)

I'm surprised none of you chaps have mentioned "The Crying Game" yet... :shock: :lol:

No such film has ever existed, not ever!!!

[DanAbnormal]

Shawshak Redemption (right at the end - every bloody time)
Monsters Inc
Crash

Probably a lot more as I'm a soft twit. :rolleyes:

[-Ralph-]

Hey, we're talking a lumpy throat and a tear in the corner of the eye here! I ain't admitting to an out-and-out blubb!

[Luckypants]

Last one was Mama Mia. :oops: When the song 'Slipping Through my Fingers' was sung. That song always reminds me of when my daughter went to primary school for the first time, I was off to work and wanted to give her a hug and wish her well, she was all 'yeah, yeah, see you later Dad...' 5 years old and already so self assured... :smt022 20 years later (almost to the day!) and that song always reminds me of that day, always with a tear in my eye.

Terminator 2

I cannot watch Titanic without bawling my eyes out - it's that final bit where they go back to the ship and all the crew and passengers are all gathered around the staircase (including that poor officer who is so horrified to have shot someone that he kills himself) and that's it, I'm gone for at least 20 minutes.

Not a movie but I didn't exactly like the ending of Klonoa on the Playstation either...

Terminator 2


oh god yes !!! that one too !! sobbed my heart out whilst eating skips !!!

[jans1971]

never have "ITS A FILM"

[Alpinestarhero]

Quite a few films have left me feeling on the verge of tears (none have made me blub but thats good self control!). I cant remember what, but there are some films that have made me think "why does that have to happen in real life, why did that happen, what if things happened differantly"

[madness]

Highlander. Where the immortal blokes mortal wife gets old and dies.

[littleperson]

My other half needs the tissues for The Green Mile no matter how many times we watch it
