What should we watch when we're not playing games?

I'm a real pussy when it comes to sad films!

If you can watch 'Grave of the Fireflies' without crying then you are a robot.

Probably be easier to list films that didn't make me cry! I'm pretty much done for with the opening bars of any Disney animation, but I have to say the one film where I cried so much I nearly lost an eye was The Notebook. I defy anyone to watch it and not come over all emulsional. Also broke my heart in the final scenes of Six Feet Under, not a film but probably the best pack-a-punch ending of a tv series ever.

+1 for the last 5 minutes of the last episode of Six Feet Under. Best 5 minutes of TV ever. We have box sets of all 5 series but I have never been able to bring myself to watch the last 5 minutes a second time, it's just too much to take. Also shed one or more tears during ET, It's A Wonderful Life, the English Patient, Schindler's List and the opening sequence of Up.

I was very close to tears when I went to see Titanic and realised after an hour and a half that we weren't even half way through this shite.
If I had a signature, it would go here

There is a particular episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine that really got to me, I can't remember the name of the episode. It guess starred the legend Tony Todd (Aka The Candyman) as a grown up Jake Sisko telling a young fan of his books how his dad (Benjamin Sisko) died in an accident and through flashbacks shows how his Dad kept reappearing for short periods over the years. Its near the end when he reveals he is actually dragging his dad through time and the only way to stop it, save his dad and reset the timeline is to kill himself when his dad reappears next. One of the final scenes with Tony Todd and Avery Brooks is so emotional it just had me balling my eyes out.

All the latest Star Wars films...
50/50, at one point I teared up out of sadness at one point I teared up out laughter...I think that was when he shaved his head with his friend's personal grooming trimmer
and the latest Muppet Movie..made me feel old...a tear of oldness appeared
The Descendants, I came real close to crying but I'm a man so I didn't.
We bought a zoo...because I am a true man.....I cried, that's right the only film that had me more than welling up.


Well, I'm honest as usual, were you.

I must admit i haven't cried at a film since i was quite young, i held back those tears because im a man grrrrrr :x , but the ones which have had me the closest are:

Senna (the last scene when he describes the driver he got the most satisfaction from racing against, for a legend of F1 who competed against the best drivers of his generation whilst all where at their peak he picked a nobody from when he was karting for next to no money)
Schindler's list (i don't think i need to explain that one)
The Lion King (i watched it the first time in about 10 years the other day, it still gets me, Damn you disney)
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here this is the war room!"
