Shamzanne Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I always cry during Anne of Green Gables when Matthew dies - like boohoo sobs. Also at the end of Anne of Avonlea. I cry sometimes even during cheesy, terrible movies. I think the music gets to me. The wedding scene in Pride and Prejudice (BBC), Sense and Sensibility when Emma Thompson sobs in the realization that Edward is not married. Any movie with a yellow lab/golden retriever like Old Yeller or Homeward Bound. One of my favorite memories is of being in the theater as a kid watching a re-release of Cinderella. During the part where the step sisters are tearing apart the dress that the mice made for Cinderella I looked over at my dad and he was crying:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMD Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 'Riding in cars with boys' - gets me everytime. Obviously I have some daddy issues... ETA - oh oh, cartoons - 'UP' - gosh, her sitting in the dr's office at the beginning... :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Steel Magnolias. I start losing it when Sally Fields is walking down that hospital hallway with "that look" on her face, I'm bawling my eyes out in the cemetery and then I lighten up a little when they're running to the hospital to have the baby at the end! I've seen that movie so many times and I cry every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Field of Dreams--when the doctor chooses to save the girl instead of continue living his dream and when Kevin Costner plays catch with his dad. Swing Kids--the whole movie, so sad but sooooo good. Antwone Fisher--the only movie that has EVER made my dh cry. It is a great story of triumph, but a rough one to watch.

medawyn Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Add me to the Steel Magnolias list. It's my go-to when I need a good cry. I always think I'm going to make it through, then Sally Fields starts driving to get Jack Jr... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna in Texas Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 There are good cry movies, then bad cry ones. These are the ones I watched once and never will again: Grave of Fireflies I Am Sam AI 50 First Dates Good cries are harder because I tear up at a lot of stuff. The most recent that got me was Deathly Hallows 2. I was probably a mess the last half hour of that movie, more so than the Dobby scene from Part 1. Also, strangely, the newer Pride and Prejudice movie, the last scene between Keira Knightly and Donald Sutherland made me cry. We've also been watching all 6 Star Wars with my oldest. I've only seen Revenge of the Sith once (at the theatre), so it's been awhile. The last Anakin and Obi Wan scene made me cry. Embarrassingly, I didn't realize I was a crier until DH pointed it out to me. Apparently he and dd make bets. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funschooler5 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 E.T., when E.T. tells Gertie to "Be good." The Help...any of the scenes with Aibileen and Mae Mobly (having read the book, I knew what was coming). I think Toy Story 3 wins the prize for turning me into a sobbing mess though...it just hit every single soft spot, especially since it was one of the first movies we saw with my oldest. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzie in Ma Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I cry at tons of stuff, even been known to sob over a Kleenex commercial (wife waiting on dock with baby for husband to come home), At&T commercial (Jill called Dad!) and touching moments in sitcoms. PS I Love You is a totally sob fest and I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The last time I cried in a theater was while watching The King's Speech. When Colin Firth was sobbing saying over and over again, "I can't be king, I can't be king", and the queen is saying 'You dear man. You, dear, dear man." I sobbed and sobbed. Truly, Madly, Deeply had me sobbing for DAYS afterwards. I made my dh watch it with me after that and we both sobbed on each other's shoulders. LOL! And my son and I watched UP together and sobbed, clutching each other, during the first part. One movie I haven't seen mentioned is an oldie but goodie. Cap'n's Courageous with Spencer Tracy and Freddie Bartholemew. The scene where Tracy drowns while Freddie is watching. Heartbreaking!

Onceuponatime Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Toy Story 3 - thinking about the day my own boys will grow up and move away. I'm almost crying just thinking about it. Yeah. When that came out, my Andy was in college. I cried when Dobby died. The Way We Were always made me cry when I was young. Jeremiah Johnson. I'm dating myself. Fiddler on the Roof. Brian's Song. I don't watch many movies that make me cry any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jentancalann Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) I can't believe the notebook was only mentioned once! It gets me every time. So does The Bridges of Madison County. And the usuals- Beaches, Steel Magnolias. Oh, and Courageous. The first time was awful! My face was swollen for two days.

Mary in VA Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Mr. Holland's Opus, without fail, every time, in four places- 1. when he finds out his son is deaf, 2. when the drummer dies in Vietnam, 3. when he sings to his son at the school for the deaf, and 4. at the end when he conducts the Opus.

Zebra Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 One I just thought of was City of Angels. I cried my head off, and never wanted to see it again.

JeneralMom Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Steel Magnolias The Family Stone - the ending scene. It is a sad scene but it makes my DH bawl every year because his Dad died Christmas morning when he was 19 and then two years later his mum died of cancer. He say it one Christmas Eve and just came to bed sobbing his heart out, and we have watched it every Christmas Eve since then. Weird tradition but it is cathartic for him. Bambi when his mom dies. Anne of Green Gables when Matthew dies. I actually rarely cry in person but I do cry at movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelli Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I just thought of another one, but I feel kind of stupid admitting that I cry. Fox and the Hound I sob watching that cartoon. "We'll always be friends, Tod." But they aren't friends and can't be friends. I'm getting worked up just thinking about it. :crying: We own it, but I told the kids that they cannot watch it unless they warn me so I can get out of earshot.

melissel Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) You'll think I'm weird for this.... Armageddon. Every time. The part where the girl's dad tells her he's not coming home, right before he blows up the asteroid. The actress looks just a little too much like dd for me to get through that. I don't think you're weird!!! I sob at that part every time--big, honking sobs :001_huh: I'm a total daddy's girl, and that part is way too close to home. I accidentally slipped and told my mom about that part before she watched the movie and she was annoyed with me. After the movie, she called and said thank goodness I'd warned her about that part, because it wrecked her too :lol: Other than that, it's the old Terms of Endearment/Steel Magnolias combo for me :tongue_smilie: I also sobbed and snorked through the last 20 minutes or so of Toy Story 3 and, for some bizarre reason, most of How to Train Your Dragon :confused: DH and the girls were completely confused, and no one else in the theater was crying. I have no idea what I was so touched by that movie! Out of Africa for me. Oh yes, that one too. Oh man. I even knew what was coming, so I started sobbing when her husband showed up at the house, before he even said anything. It gets me every time. Again, DH was dry-eyed and bewildered the first time. I love that movie. Edited April 3, 2012 by melissel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamzanne Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have been thinking about this... I remember crying for an hour after watching Bridges of Madison County. And Dumbo is now unwatchable for me... even the music makes me sob. I cried during the fireworks at Disneyland while they played the song. And to whomever said Fox and the Hound... the part where she drives Tod to the game reserve is the most tear inducing part in any movie ever... I haven't been able to watch it since my childhood dog died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie in VA Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 You and I could probably go to the movies together. :D I also cry at the read footage of Secretariat. He was one of my all time heros. I cry every time I watch the Natural. I LOVE that movie. Steel Magnolias is a given...it's meant to be a sweet/sad story. I cry at the end of Second Hand Lions...'They really lived..." The Man in the Iron Mask...when the newer Musketeer says all his life, he wanted to be HIM (D'tagnian. Sp?! Sorry.) Homeward Bound. Every time the old dog comes over the hill....sob. It's a Wonderful Life. Momma Mia...when Mom and daughter are prepping her for the wedding...'slipping through my fingers....' Yeah. I get it. Yes, we should be movie buddies! You do know, don't you, that the 2nd race, the Preakness, when you see Penny's family watching it on tv, that's the real race! The real Secretariat! What a neat way to include it. Now, I'm going to start tearing up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
