[dirtysouthinit]

Most of the movies listed make me need a tissue. A tissue to wipe my mouth off after throwing up in the toilet. Chick flicks stink!!

SO GET OFF THIS THREAD! Really....are you trying to start something??

Anyhow, before this rude interruption came I was going to mention Love Story.... the original (not sure if there ever was any other one) with Ryan O'Neil and Ali McGraw. Also Bridges of Madison County. I tried to tell my mother about the story one day recently and ended up crying just TELLING her about it. ....................P

Even if I only see the last 5 minutes, these all make me cry:

Ice Castles
Sense & Sensiblility
Joy Luck Club

Sometimes you just need a good cry!

<---Cried like a little girl!

The only movie I cried at was a timing issue. My wife was pregnant with our first child. I watched a movie with Michael Keaton. I don't even remember the name of the movie. He was diagnosed with cancer while his wife was pregnant. They told him he would not be alive when his son was born. He was making a video of his life to leave to his son. Actually now that I think of that, the movie was called "My Life". When he was making the video talking about shaving and dating and all the things he'll miss, I cried like a little girl.

My wife woke up the next morning to see a pile of tissues and an empty box. She said, "What the heck happened." I just told her, "Don't ask" I did eventually tell her.

I also get a little watery eyed in Field of Dreams. When Kevin Costner says, "Hey Dad, how about a catch?"

Parts of Micheal Moore's Farhenheit 911 and Bowling for Columbine got to me because the subject matter was so upsetting.

I just remember 2 more that reallly make me cry, the first one is "The Best Years of our Lives" its from 1946 and its about 3 WWII veterans that come home after the war and how their lives are changed, its so sad! Another one that really got to me was "House of Flying Daggers" I cried like a baby at the end of that one!

I had no idea this was coming out, but I am so excited about the 29 deleted scenes! I will be buying this the day it comes out, and having a tissue fest that night, for sure!!

Message in a Bottle

What is this about? Who stars in it? Never heard of it....


Oh, the first Land Before Time made me cry! I think it reminded me of Bambi (can not watch that ever). Gotta love those celluloid heroes.

The Yearling.

Out of Africa. When she reads that poem during his funeral... well, that does it for me.

The scene in Dumbo when the mother is locked up.

The Color Purple at the end when Celie gets to see her children.

On Golden Pond when Jane gets the swimming medal from her dad. On Golden Pond was the last movie my father saw before he passed away.

The very first movie to get my crying was Franco Zeferelli's "Romeo and Juliet." We went to see it in the 9th grade, and from the time Romeo was banned from Verona until the end of the movie, I blubbered like someone had died! My friends were totally embarrassed, but I just couldn't help myself! LOL!

Not the first film I cried over but, holy cow, we were out of control the first time we saw that. I went to Boston to see this movie with two friends. We completely lost it at the end. I'm talking sobbing!

Sophie's Choice

 

[ItsonlyExperiment626]

Joy Luck Club-requires a box of tissue
Beaches
Finding Neverland

 

[Disneyglobegirl]

I always cry at the end of Moulin Rouge.

Also was I the only one that cried during Sommersby with Jody Foster and Richard Gear? Can't believe no one mentioned it yet. I watched that one when I was pregnant and I cried all week everytime I thought about that movie.

 

[TKERBELL]

Brian's Song (the original)(also the first movie I EVER saw a man cry)
Something for Joey (the John Cappelletti Penn State RB)
Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember (anything by Nicholas Sparks for that matter)
Boys on the Side
Steel Magnolias
Terms of Endearment
Oh heck - I even have good cry at a kleenex commercial!!!

Okay, I admit, sometimes I like crying at movies. However, the most embarassing cry by far was My Girl, as Macauley Culkins' character reminded me and my sister of our brother, who looked just like him at the time. We were weeping. The lights came up and we both booked it to the restroom to try to dry our eyes and fix ourselves up so all our friends who worked there wouldn't know we had been crying. I still cry uncontrollably when I see that movie.

There are many, many other movies that can inspire tears, but those that really require tissues have mostly been mentioned before and are Joy Luck Club, Doctor Zhivago, ET, Sense and Sensibility, League of Their Own (when the sisters reunite), Forrest Gump, Titanic, Romeo and Juliet (any version), Little Women, and a lot of Disney movies...especially Tarzan and Beauty and the Beast.

I've read the whole thread, and no one mentioned my achilles heel... the movie makes me SOB uncontrollably for some reason.

The Iron Giant

The first time I saw it, I was hiccupping I was so upset. Every time after, I've just cried... I'm getting more weepy with age, and get teary with many of the movies mentioned. But man, I don't know what it is about the Iron Giant that just gets me. I must be weird!

Julia, we did too!!!

DH and I took the kids to see this movie in the theaters, during its short theatrical run. We had no idea what it was about, just that it was an animated feature.

DH is also a comics superhero fan, and "got" all the Superman references.

Well, we walked out of that theater just sobbing!!! (we felt so foolish . . . )

And it's especially poignant after we learned the story behind "The Iron Giant" . . . that it was written by Ted Hughes, the former poet laureate of Great Britian, in part to comfort his children after the suicide of his wife, Slyvia Plath.

Okay, the last ten minutes or so of "The Champ" with Ricky Schroeder...I challenge anyone to watch that movie and NOT CRY!!!

 

[Pooh's Pixie]

Come on, hasn't anyone seen "The Champ"? Or have I killed this thread by reminding everyone how SAD it was and you're all wiping your eyes at the mere thought Ricky Schroeder tugging at Jon Voight crying "Wake Up Champ! Wake Up!"
