I love Billy Elliot!!

It's very unusual for me to cry during a non-musical movie, I couldn't stop crying when I saw HS3 at the movie theater, and of course Rent and Les Mis.

The saddest movie I ever saw, by a light year, is WHO WILL LOVE MY CHILDREN, made for television, starring Ann-Margret.

I recall finding Babe sad. I don't remember why though. And now I remember that I did cry when I saw Andre.

THE CURE made me sob uncontrollably. We rented it on VHS years ago and I remember my dad thinking I had lost my mind.

"Deep Impact" ALWAYS gets me.

>> "John--I *love* The Secret of NIMH but I see it as a different work"

Yup, I hear 'ya on that.

I wasn't as keen on changing the details of the plot from one based on science, to something supernatural. As someone who is interested in encouraging kids to read, I was also disappointed by the idea that kids who first experience this story via the movie will think the plot of the book is the same and possibly "pass" on the book.

Speaking of made-for-television movies...The Dollmaker starring Jane Fonda. That one really puts you through the wringer.

THE CURE was the first movie to come to mind with I read the thread title. I was completely obsessed with this movie. I must have watched it about 30 times.

Some additions to my list: Boys on the Side (Mary Louise Parker's final scene with Whoopi Goldberg is a standout.), Fried Green Tomatoes, and Field of Dreams (I turn into a puddle in the last scene where Ray says "What do I say to him?" and his wife says, "Why don't you introduce him to his granddaughter?" because one of my grandfathers died when I was five months old, so I really didn't know him.)

Steel Magnolias is up there, too (M'Lynn's breakdown scene is a big one. The line that does it for me is "How will that baby ever know how wonderful his mama was? Will he ever know what she went through for him?!")

The scene in KRAMER VS. KRAMER where Joanna, played so beautifully by Meryl Streep, is being questioned by Ted's lawyer, I always lose it. The same with the end of MOULIN ROUGE.
However, the saddest movie for me, the one that never fails to make me cry is MULHOLLAND DRIVE. I think that's the first movie I cried in and it always gets me in different parts.

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

The "Crying" scene in Mulholland Drive floored me. Every detail about that scene was masterful and deeply affecting.

Matt, that's such a brilliant brilliant brilliant scene. It does make me cry but I can't exactly put my finger on why...

The intense expression of anguish is almost overwhelming. I watched it for the first time on DVD and almost had to stop it. At the end of the scene, I realized I was holding my breath. I'm actually glad I didn't see it in the theatre.

I remember seeing it with my Father in the movie theater and after that scene we were both in tears. I hope Lynch can make another film that good (or hell, any other film since it's been 7 years since his last feature)

Actually, I'd prefer for him not to make a film than produce something like Inland Empire.
