Good Will Hunting is the only one I can think of.

I'm pathetic, I know.

don't laugh.

the lion king.

No way man, when Mufasa heroicly saves the life of his son only to lose his own: heartwrenching...

EDIT: The "No way man" part means "No way" will I laugh.

The Shawshank Redemption

exactly!
for some reason, i empathize more with animals/animal movies. *shrugs* which reflects the same in real life.

It depends on what you mean "hurt?" There are plenty of movies that effect me emotionally, sometimes sentimentally, but "hurt?" The first movie that ever made me cry was the Prince of Tides. Other tear jerkers were Field of Dreams, The Shawshank Redemption, and Signs.

Amelie (Definately one of my favorites)
Moulin Rouge
Shindler's List
Saving Private Ryan
Romeo and Juliet
Cider House Rules
American Beauty

Airbud

/sniff sniff

Spencer's Mountain

Braveheart was damn rough on me... The power of one man and his beliefs...

American History X
Saving Private Ryan
Braveheart
Brazil
What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Kids
Moulin Rouge
Schindler's List
Run, Lola, Run
Hamlet

I think the only movie that ever hit me emotionally was Snoopy come Home when I was like 5--I tend to realize that movies and TV are just that so I make no emotional connection...I just watch them for the escape from life...

American History X
Band of Brothers series

The Life of David Gale....the ending of that movie is insane!!!

If you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to go and get it....go now!

Hmmm..... this might sound weird

Terminator 2

When Ahnold lowers himself into the fire and terminates himself.

Still the only movie i've ever gotten choked up about.....and it gets me every time. I usually leave the room if i'm watching it with friends lol.

Too true.

I find that scene quite upsetting too, especially with the music, it's perfect, however when Arnold in T3 killed himself I was absolutely gutted, I knew it'd happen but still, this brave warrior whom originally was programmed to eliminate John and came to fight the TX's re-programming and finally ending his own life to save John's, brilliant.

Bridges of Madison County.

Aside from some of the ones that have been mentioned a lot (Schindler's List, SPR, Braveheart, etc), Igby Goes Down does a lot to me. I see myself in the two brothers--part of me wanting to go one way, and the other part of me wanting to go the other.

If you havent seen it, you should, its a pretty damn good movie. It has a lot in common with Catcher in the Rye, the whole growing up thing.

Life is Beautiful... trying to protect a child's innocence all the way to the end just made those tears flow.

Anna and the King

1) American History X
2) Saving Private Ryan
3) Band Of Brothers

hmm i just saw thirteen in theatres and that made me fucking bawl my eyes out.

also, the joy luck club has been an emotional catharsis for me.

the last movie that made me shed tears I believe was called Jack? It stared robin williams as a "kid" who aged 4 times faster than all of his friends. When he gets really despressed and won't leave his room and all of the kids come over and knock on his door so he can come and play, that just did it for me.
The only other movie I remember ever making this happen to me was The Land Before Time. When i was still a toddler and watched this movie, I always had a tear at the end when little foot and his companions find the promised land place.

These have been said before, and they moved me the first time I watched them:
Braveheart
Saving Private Ryan

Not mentioned before:
Lonesome Dove (mini series)

Seven -it made me hurt, but in a different way - I wanted to go take a shower and eat vegetables and go to Sunday School.

Not mentioned before and shamed to admit that I got a little choked up:
Armegeddon
The little kid and his dad, especially.

I am really shocked no one mentionewd any classics like:
Old Yeller _ I still ball every time I see it!!
Where the red fern grows_ another tear jerker!!
The Journey Og Natty gann _ inspires me every time i see it!!
My Girl -- the boy dies it kills me too WAHHH!!:(

then there is always Atumn in New York!! - I always cry
sweet november
MY life with micheal keaton-- so sadd!!
E.T> !!!!!!
okay I forgot like tons I know, but this thread is making me want to cry!!!!!

Requiem for a Dream absolutely destroys me everytime I watch it. Talk about a movie to kill hope....

I've only been able to watch that film once. I can't bring myself to watch it again.

Veritas en Lux!
Jimmy The Hutt

I bawled when I saw Ice Age for the first time...dunno why. The part where they are all in the cave and Manny remembers his family just made me lose it!

It's a Wonderful Life always makes me cry every time that I watch it. When Harry says "a toast, to my big brother Geoge, the richest man in town," I choke back the tears.

Se7en. By the end of that movie I really understand Kevin Spacy's character, and that makes me physically ill.

The Lion King - I've said it before that the opening scene may be one of the most effective in any movie ever. Reprising it in the closing scene was genius. (Tearing up thinking about it.) The last scene in Mosnter's Inc. and the penultimate one in Mulan are the same kind of thing.

LOTR. The books were such a gigantic part of my growing up that I weep to see what a good job they have done with the <i>previews</i>, not to metion the movies themselves.

Gladiator. That one hits all the buttons.

The first Star Wars.

Rudy

"Brian's Song" (the original version)

"Saving Private Ryan"

"Braveheart"

"Shawshank Redemption"

"AI"

"Pride of the Yankees" (Lou Gherig story)

"Gladiator"

Requiem for a Dream
Schindler's List
La vita è bella (Life is Beautiful) - Movies generally don't make me cry, but this one got to me, and i was upset for a long time. Such an emotionally moving film.

T2, office space, pulp fiction, Bowling for columbine, most of the starwars movies.

Rudy is nothing compared to Brian's Song.

As an ex-band geek, Mr. Holland's Opus gets me every time.

The Deer Hunter has always been a film that deeply moves me.

I've never seen Nicky's death scene without tears.

The other movie I cannot watch without crying is 'Once Were Warriors'

Also American History X has gotten to me once or twice.

Requiem for a Dream induced some insomnia too.

I cant remember the name right now, and you've all listed a lot of good movies..

but it was the one with jack nicholson playing the elderly man... where he finds his wife, with the vacuum...

god that was so sad.

that whole movie was sad. I put myself in his part and it made me feel so alone.. I hope this never happens to me in real life.

but it will happen to a lot of us :(

I forgot 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'

EXACTLY!!! That is one the the scariest movies ever made in my eyes due to the fact that it is fucking real.

Others for me are American Beauty, AI, A Clockwork Orange, Field of Dreams (I cry like a little girl when the kid steps off the field and becomes the Doctor), and Donnie Darko.

American History X
Requiem For a Dream
Gladiator

All of these pulled on my emotions heavily in one way or other.

Most recently I saw a sneak preview for "House of Sand and Fog" this one sent me on a full myriad of emotions. It definitely tugs at your heart towards the end. Overall, it was very good at attacking your emotions. At one point I wanted to run onto the screen and strangle someone. Latter on in the film I was fighting off my tears.
