Remudamom Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Lonesome Dove has been making me cry for almost 25 years. All I have to do is hear the music. Legends of the Fall is a close second. Especially when the father rejoices that all of his children are gathered around his table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin Learnin Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Wow, almost everything. I'm a real sap. The movie doesn't even have to be well made, just the attempt at an emotional scene can set me off. I am a very sensitive person by nature. I'm very careful which movies I will watch in public so as not to embarrass myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I get teary every time Beth gets ill in Little Women. Iris (about Elizabeth Murdoch) made dh and I cry buckets.

aggieamy Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm another sap. I sobbed my eyes out when Heidi got taken from her grandfather. I can't even hardly read a touching Christmas book without crying. Little Librarian is going to reread those books as an adult and wonder what the heck was wrong with me sobbing during them. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissel Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Out of Africa. Sweet fancy Moses, I cried for about 30 minutes until the end of the movie (I knew what was coming), and then I cried off and on for about 30 minutes after it was over. I've never cried that much over a movie ever! After that, it's the old standbys: Steel Magnolias, Terms of Endearment, and Toy Story 3. Oh, and, bizarrely, Armageddon, that movie with Bruce Willis and Liv Tyler about an asteroid hitting the earth. I won't say anymore about why, but the relationship between the dad and daughter affected me very deeply. The rest of the movie was enjoyably cheesy, but there was about 5 minutes' worth that left me a wreck.

OnTheBrink Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I took my dd to see the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast today. At the end, I cried like a baby. Not because of the love story, but because of the scene at the end of the play when Mrs. Potts kneels down, arms open, saying, "My boy!" and Chip goes running into them. No one else is the place is shedding a tear, and I've got them running down my face. :001_rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybee Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Up -- saw it soon after my father had passed away, and in the first part of the movie, all I could think of was my mother missing my father. Empire of the Sun -- love, love this movie; I am not a big movie person, but I don't understand why this one was not more acclaimed; I felt it was quite powerful--about a boy who was living in China when the Japanese took over in WW2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the frocks were good, but suddenly that was all I liked about it, so I gave the vid to my sister. I couldn't sit through it ever again, not even for the frocks.

OrganicAnn Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Most recently (I don't go out to many movies) but Hotel Rwanda - I was crying (snuffling, gulping air) for a half hour after the movie was over. Others I remember - I cried when Spock died in Star Trek movie number 3? The Heart is a Lonely Hunter I generally don't cry too much in movie theaters.

BatmansWife Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Titanic I remember very well when it came out at the theater. A dear friend of mine asked if I wanted to go see it with her teenage dd and her dd's friend. They wanted to sit in the very first row. I cried.....literally sobbed (it was the hardest thing not to make any noise and embarrass myself to death!). I still remember the scene when she remembers him as she's walking up the steps and Leonardo is by the clock and turns around with his hand outstretched.......:crying: I really like the movie, and I have the vhs. But, I rarely ever watch it because I just can't bring myself to see it again. Another one that I cried hard at the theater was Steel Magnolias; Sally Field's scene. I was with my mom at the theater that time. Moulin Rouge makes me cry at the end, every.single.time (and it's not like I don't know how it will end!). I just watched a movie for the first time this week called I Am Sam. I was in puddles. Great movie, btw....loved it. There's a lot of movies that I cry at. But, I cry really easily.

I told my mom she is never allowed to watch that movie) Frequency - makes me cry for some very personal reasons. Schindler's List - went to the theater to see while I was going through cancer tx. Cried through most of it. Me and a group of older Jewish women were the only ones there. We all left in tears. Made cancer tx look simple. I'm sappy too. We're watching Fellowship of the Ring today. I'm sure I'll cry at several points, as I always do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Most of you probably haven't seen it, but Tree of Life had me sobbing nearly the whole movie--I could relate to so much in it, and it was so dang beautiful.

happypamama Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Oh, shoot, I cry at everything. I get all teary when Lightning McQueen gives up his chance for the Piston Cup at the end of Cars. There are a lot of scenes in the LOTR trilogy that make me cry. Steel Magnolias makes me cry. The one movie that actually had me sobbing in the theater was The Green Mile; I'd read the book and knew the ending that was coming, and it did me in -- I buried my face in DH's shoulder and sobbed.

Did you see the "director's cut," where footage he cut was added back in? It makes the ending so bittersweet. Great film w/o the extra scenes, but takes a bit of a different turn when you see them.

Especially when the father rejoices that all of his children are gathered around his table. I cry at just about anything.

I sobbed a few nights ago at Gran Torino. I LOVED The Help, but cried through it. I also cry at the Olympics. Some contests are so emotional! Don't even get me started on award ceremonies...

I was in the hospital after just giving birth to ds during the last Olympics and they were showing a montage of supportive parents. There was one clip where a young runner fell during an event and couldn't walk. His Dad jumped the fence and helped him cross the finish line. I was an absolute wreck. The nurses were really worried about me cause I couldn't stop sobbing and my blood pressure was way up. They were probably thinking PPD but it was just those dang Olympics!

littlebug42 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Lonesome Dove kills me. Can't watch it without crying buckets. I cried at Titanic because I knew the boat really sank. All I could think while the people were trying to get off that boat and later, floating in the water, was that real people felt terror like that. I wasn't really crying so much for the character. Sophie's Choice. Just thinking about that movie makes me cry. Also, many of the ones already mentioned. I don't watch too many movies any more that I think will make me cry. The last time I cried at anything was actually an episode of "The Tudors", in the episode where Thomas More is beheaded. The acting in that episode, particularly the end was just brilliant. I didn't just cry, I sobbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
