Cottonwood Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Do you guys remember that movie? Barbara Hershey, Bette Midler? Oh how I loved that movie. So sweet, so many tears. The Notebook does the same to me, too. What is your PMS, need-to-cry movies? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
school17777 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 When I was younger, Terms of Endearment was my need-to-cry movie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I remember when my mom made me watch Beaches. My mom has the same heart disease (cardiomyopathy) as the character who dies. :crying: Thankfully, my mom is still around! My cryfest movie is Lorenzo's Oil. I love that movie. How awesome to find a treatment for your kid's disease. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplejackmama Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Steel Magnolias. I can tear up right now just thinking about it. But Beaches is a close second. I'm a professional at the ugly cry!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audrey Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I just watched "All the Mornings of the World" So sad... depressingly sad. Yep. It's the music that gets me. When I first saw it, I think I started crying at the scene when M. St-Colombe is in his little studio and sees his wife while he's playing the song for her. I don't think I stopped crying until about half an hour after the closing credits. Now, I can drop a tear just thinking about it. I haven't watched it since last summer, though. Might need to dig it out again. I could use a good wracking sob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Miss Potter, which is about Beatrix Potter, was a bit more ugly cry than I expected when I chose to watch it. The picture for the movie looked whimsical.The TRAILER looked whimsical! It had rabbits and ducks!!They lied! It is not whimsical! I don't even know how they made rabbits and ducks depressing but there were depressing bits with rabbits and ducks. You might think that sounds silly, it was not silly. I was crying at the rabbits and ducks!!! I think there were other animals such as squirrels or hedgehogs.I cried for a good long while. It might be on netflix or something. It is ok for teens, there isn't any bad language or naughty bits it is just really depressing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarfoot Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I loved that movie, but yes--crying. Here's a funny story about The Notebook: My DH and DS were driving on a church ski trip, and the other kids assigned to their car were 3 girls. They were VERY talkative, lol, on the way there. At one point on the trip, my DH and DS visited a Barnes and Noble. Guess what my DS bought? The Notebook on DVD for the girls to watch on the way home. :laugh: They were so excited they all hugged him. :lol: The ride home was much quieter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Beaches (During Wind Beneath My Wings) Stella (at the end when she's looking through the window) Titanic (when she jumps back on the boat) Steel Magnolias (when she loses it after the funeral) Both Stella and Steel Magnolias became ugly cry movies after I had the girls.

plansrme Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Little Man Tate. Anyone else ever see that one? Jodie Foster, 1990'ish? The scene where her son hands out birthday invitations at school? I was years from having kids when I saw it, and it tore me up. It would kill me now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I don't tend to enjoy sobfests... but there was one movie, Life is Beautiful, where I was laughing and crying at the same time. I was so embarrassed after the lights went up in the theater because I was such a sobbing mess - and NO BODY else seemed to shed a tear. I went in having no idea that the movie took place during WWII. I just thought it was another sweet silly Benigni movie. So I was completely taken off-guard..esp. by the ending. This is the scene... is what had me laughing and crying at the same time. If you've never watched it: The father wants to protect his son from the horrors of WWII... so when they are separated from wife/mom, and sent to a concentration camp, he tells his son they are playing a game (I think something like hide-n-seek)... The other movie that makes me cry is Secrets and Lies with Brenda Blethyn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 My husband still hasn't forgiven me for making him watch beaches when we were dating. He cried worse then I did. Steel Magnolias is the other movie that gets me crying like there is no tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I am not a huge movie buff, but the movies that make me cry are movies like Schindler's List. I don't revisit them often. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umsami Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 All of the above. I was a blubbering mess during "Life is Beautiful", you are not alone. What about "Sophie's Choice"? OMG. :( There's an old film from the late 30s, with Robert Donat, called "Goodbye Mr. Chips." I always cry in that. For the longest time, I wanted to get an English Bulldog and name him "Chips." "Love Story' with Ryan O'Neill and Ali McGraw. And of course, when Bambi's Mom died and in "The Lion King" when the dad is killed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaceful Isle Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I try to stay clear of sad movies. I like comedies or science fiction/ action instead. I probably cry maybe 2 times a year, if that.

ktgrok Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Armageddon I thought I was the only one that sobbed during that movie, lol. We saw it in the theater, in a big group, and everyone was embarrassed because even after the credits played I was still sobbing like my best friend had died. I was a MESS. And then the next time I thought it I thought I'd be better, but I just started crying earlier in the movie. The father daughter thing just breaks me. Steel Magnolias is the other one. And Beaches, but I only watched it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeaganS Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I don't cry often in movies, but Steel Magnolias, Hotel Rwanda, Deep Impact when the mom gives the baby to her older daughter so she can save it, Titanic, and oddly enough Dan in Real Life all did it to me. I blame the last on pregnancy hormones. I was sad because their mother was dead which isn't even an event in the movie, just a fact. As I was crying on the way home I told my husband (who was laughing at me) that I could never watch The Office again because I would get too sad. I got over it. ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
