How many movies make you say that? And why?  :question:
I thought about it-
.the DEVIL'S REJECTS (2005)-it has Sid Haig-Bob Mosely is funny as s**t,the music all rocks,it has Miss Togar and PJ Soles in cameos,and its f**king fun and really scary!
.SAVING PRIVATE RYAN-very few movies make me wanna cry.This movie did.
.FRANKENSTEIN (1931)-this movie DID make me cry-I was only 10 years old-I felt like I was the Monster-I could identify with him.

I'm pretty sure you can understand why from the above image.

I don't usually cry watching movies, but when i do is probably one with a fantasy medieval setting.

One that always does the trick is Lord of the Rings when Boromir dies. Man, it's so well done.
I remember Dragonheart also made me very sad when it came out, in the final scene when Draco turns into a constellation. To the stars Bowen, to the stars.  :bluesad:
Check my crappy and unpopular reviews and ratings:

The end of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, where Capt. Miller takes Ryan by the hand as he is dying and says "Earn this, Ryan . . . earn it."
I bawl every time.

The MALTESE FALCON-the one with Bogey and Lorre and Greenstreet.
Just such a good movie.
the GOOD,the BAD,and the UGLY-is just one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Its cool-it sucks you in like a good book.
And the music,of course.

I always cry when the old Ryan crys at the end-watching grown old folks cry makes me cry everytime.
I bawl at  when Frankenstein crys in BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN.
I gotta jump up and act like I gotta take a s**t so folks dont see me cry.  :wink:

The entire LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, but especially THE RETURN OF THE KING.
Brilliantly cast, wonderfully filmed, superbly acted.

It's a shame THE HOBBIT trilogy was such a relative disappointment.

I would have to add KING KONG (1933),the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974) and PSYCHO (1960) as well.
