Terminator 2 made me cry the first time I saw the ending, although that was a good while ago. The Pianist is bloody emotional, although I don't think I ever cried at it. I normally find it all a bit funny how over the top the cruelty is, then I remember if anything it's toned down from real life and I go a bit funny...For book though, definately got to be Cancer Ward by Solzhenitsyn. Probably because all the characters are so messed up and generally hopeless, but they don't know it. And even though I'm not Irish, pretty much anything recent by Primordial will do the trick.

I don't tend to cry, but get into deep thought afterwards, and it's mostly war films that get me.

I love them so!

Band of Brothers is a fucking brilliant series and I can watch that on loop.

Master Of The Winds - Manowar.

Manowar often leave me blubbering in homoerotic bliss.

I dunno if i wanted to cry or cry in laughter haha

Hmm off top of my head:

Metal Gear Solid 4- Had me in proper tears. I dunno why, flashbacks to really good memories of the first game and therefore my childhood, just the fact that it is a superbly done game. The bit when you go to the place (I dont want to ruin it so am being cryptic) and then the game gives you all of those flashbacks and sound clips...it really did just get me in tears, specially the bit with sniper wolf...and grey fox...what a great game. The final fight in the game and final cutscenes, again had me close, really done well and was just awesome and emotional!

Music wise: Pantera - Cemetery Gates and Iced Earth - watching over me

They ALWAYS get me, emotional times man!

everytime this song comes on in naruto i am reduced to tears

And how about that bit in the tunnel with the microwaves? Christ, I was nearly having a heart attack it was so unbelievable.

I also forgot to mention how amazing and sad Leon is as well. There was also another obvious choice of film I thought of earlier as well, but I forgot what it was.

Oh another film of emotional madness, I'm sure Rik will definitely agree with me here! Hero - with Jet Li, an absolutely astounding film, with such an unbelievable powerful scene near the end - the bit with Broken Sword and Sky on the mountain - you'll know what I mean if you've seen it, one of the best and most powerful shots I've ever seen!

The only books that have made me feel quite emotional in that way before are LOTR (of course, mainly at the end of The Two Towers with the Shelob bit, when Sam thinks Frodo is dead, I found it quite a bit more emotional in the book than the film actually), and Brave New World, with that bit where the Savage visits his mother in hospital towards the end (trying not to spoil it too much for those who haven't read it), that whole bit is absolutely amazing and my eyes did get a little bit moist.

hahaah so true, so true

Oh god yes, that's it, how could I forget! THE WRESTLER!

Anyone who's seen The Wrestler cannot deny the emotional madness of Mickey Rourke. The "I'm just a broken down piece of meat" scene is particularly distressing, but most amazing of all is the ending. His amazing speech, and that look on his face before he leaps off the ropes to do his Ram Jam right at the end, followed by that amazing Bruce Springsteen song on the end credits, makes me want to weep excessively. There's generally an underlying feeling of sadness throughout the whole film too - apart from that bit in the deli counter, where he's really getting into his job, which was brilliant. Stu said he could watch a whole film of that bit, and I think I agree.

Someone sent me an e-mail about the Chinese skin trade. It was a clip of some filthy fucking bastards skinning dogs alive. After pulling their skin off over their bodies, the dogs are still alive, skinless, just staring into the camera while still alive in their last few minutes. It's the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in my life. I even had nightmares about it. Fucking sick bastards.

)

i've seen that same video and it is fucking horrible!! your half sad about those poor creatures but at the same time full of rage and you wana go to china and kill those motherfuckers!!

I cry all the time, I can't handle anything that remotely suggests sadness. It may be a cliche, but the last film that made me cry was Schindler's List, in particularly the bit at the end where Schindler is going mental about how many more people he could have saved and then you see all the real life Jews he saved placing rocks on his grave WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Christ almighty, yeah definitely. I remember watching that one night, and then the next day at work I kept remembering Schindler going mad saying "I could've saved more, christ almighty!" and I kept wanting to cry all day.

Isn't Schindler's List a great film?

The Phantom Menace.

I think that made everyone cry.
