Posted: 10/4/13 at 10:48amI need a 1-2 minute scene from a film where the character has to cry for my film class. Any help would be great.

Posted: 10/4/13 at 10:52amWhat kind of crying? Soft crying or heavy sobbing? Do they need to be crying for the entire 2 minutes or just part of that?

I don't think the entire thing but a good chunk of it, and I think my teacher would prefer heavy sobbing.
Oh yeah, no genres (horror, sci-fi, western, etc). Preferably something Oscar winning or Oscar-nominated

This. How Toni did not win the Oscar is beyond me..
(it's longer than 2 mins but you could always cut it down)
Amazing

Screw you for posting that clip, Younger Brother. I can't watch that without bawling my eyes out.
And the top comment on that video had me rolling with laughter.

Posted: 10/4/13 at 11:08amColin Farrell's little playground meltdown in IN BRUGES is one of the most moving things in recent movies, check it out.

Brief shot of aged Charles Foster Kane on when we first, in chronology, hear him utter 'Rosebud'.
Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire, The Godfather (where he sees Sonny's dead corpse), and then in Reflections in a Golden Eye
James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause- there is a lot to choose from in that movie- and then in his tearful seeking of love from his father in East of Eden
John Cazale, The Godfather Part II
This may be hard to find but The Kid With a Bike has a certain crying scene that is so viscerally felt and true to life from the young kid protagonist that just thinking about it gets me choked up.
Final scene, The Bicycle Thieves
Final scene, About Schmidt
The Royal Tenenbaums, Margo Tenenbaum hearing from Richie about why he attempted suicide

Posted: 10/4/13 at 11:20amI think it'd be interesting to compare how crying is portrayed/filmed. For example, in these modern examples, an actor gets to start crying when being filmed. In earlier movies, the camera just comes upon them during a scene and there are tears already on their face. Example: Deborah Kerr in An Affair to Remember

Gertie, I assume you are a woman but who are you doing the scene with? Man, woman, younger, older?
My first thought, like Younger Brother, was the great car scene in The Sixth Sense, but your partner would be a child and you said no horror.
How about The Apartment, Casablanca, Anastasia, The Hours, Shoot the Moon, Amour, A Woman Under the Influence, Melancholia, Breaking the Waves, Sense and Sensibility, Howard's End, Love, Actually, Opening Night, Hannah and Her Sisters, What's Love Got to Do With It?, Gaslight, Anna Christie, The Letter, The Story of Adele H., Story of Women, The Nun's Story, Stella Dallas, The Lady Eve, September, Camille Claudel, Pinky, Terms of Endearment, Alice Adams, La Strada, Giuletta of the Spirits, Two Women, Room at the Top, Ship of Fools, Wings of the Dove, The Last Picture Show, The Children's Hour, The Bad Seed, A Place in the Sun, A Patch of Blue, The Group, Starting Over, An Unmarried Woman?
In other words look at emotional movies featuring women in crisis.
And of course Scenes from a Marriage, Autumn Sonata, Cries and Whispers - almost anything by Bergman.

This scene from Fried Green Tomatoes gets me every time!
You know, Miss Ruth was a lady . . .
. . . and a lady always knows when to leave.
I'm as jumpy as a virgin at a prison rodeo!

Posted: 10/4/13 at 1:53pmI don't remember how long it is, but the last crying scene I remember seeing that I found incredibly effective was Mo'Nique in Precious.

Ditto. One of my all time, in fact it probably it my favorite movie scene. Toni was so subtlety brilliant in that movie.

37 minutes into “World’s Greatest Dad,“ Robin Williams cries.
There’s a song playing over the scene, so you don’t hear his sobs.
But, boy, oh, boy, do you see it.
DE. STRUC. TIVE.
EDIT:
**MAJOR SPOILERS if you haven’t seen the movie**

Posted: 10/4/13 at 3:07pmIt's crazy to think that it's a movie starring Robin Williams, written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, and it has such powerful, heartbreaking scenes like that

How about Anthony Hopkins in The Elephant Man?
Keep an open mind, you have to stand out at auditions.
