These are movies I've seen that almost made me cry, but I don't know about you anyway... 1. TITANIC (1997) RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning of 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK toNew York City, US.

12. The Lord of the Rings (The Return of the King 2003) The movie might drag slightly after the climax, but somehow the epic finale to the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy feels almost too short. It's powerful because it's such a triumphant conclusion, but also because it's like saying goodbye to such a rich fantasy world and the vivid characters within. They too seem to be saying goodbyes, and it's really about as heroic and moving as a movie like this can be. 23 Likes 2 Shares

14. PERSUIT OF HAPPYNESS (WILL SMITH, 2006). In 1981,San Francisco, salesman Chris Gardner (Will Smith) invests his entire life savings in portable bone-density scanners which he demonstrates to doctors and pitches as a handy quantum leap over standard X-rays (the scanners play a vital role, despite being called "time machines" by Max Watson, and "fire" by Chris). While he is able to sell most of them, the time lag between the sales and his growing financial demands enrage his already bitter and alienated wife Linda (Thandie Newton), who works as a hotel maid. The lack of a stable financial state increasingly erodes their marriage, in spite of them caring for their five-year old son, Christopher (Jaden Smith). 83 Likes 1 Share
