Doesn't take a whole lot to get me spilling tears. "Born on the Fourth of July," "Joy Luck Club," and "Beaches," are the three that come to mind. If I remember correctly "Turner and Hooch" did it too, as well as...um...lol..."BAMBI!" There I said it! Hey this is good therapy.
Like GoodTempo, I don't watch tv or movies much. Too busy with other things.

Well... Frida moved me. The soundtrack (Chavela Vargas), too, must have struck a chord.

I don't recall actually letting it out, but Rudy usually gets me choked up.

I was waiting for someone to say Hardball. I just try and play it off like I was crying because Reeves' acting is so horrible.
Thinking of something I saw recently: The Christmas episode of Boston Public. Anyone see that? It was only an hour long and I think two parts had me tearing up.

Always (Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter)
Hubby and I saw it in an empty theater b4 we got married - both of us just sobbed.
Recently - LOTR Return of the King - mainly because I loved the story, had just finished reading the books, and hated to see it over! |

| Truly, Madly, Deeply with Alan Rickman and Juliet Stevenson. When he's playing the cello and she's sobbing at the piano I just let loose. I love that movie! |

Oh boy when I was little I had like a sobbing fit during E.T. and I dared to watch it again and that is the saddest movie ever.
Pay It Forward- ah the end, so sad
Hard Ball- oh boy, that movie just tears your heart out.
Does anyone here watch Rugrats? Because there's an episode when Stu gets "turned into" a baby. That thing makes me cry just thinking about it.

"My Dog Skip" really gets to me.
I saw the movie "My Life" shortly after my grandma died of cancer and I was openly sobbing throughout the last 30-45 minutes.

Gladiator! And after much thought I watched it with (my then) 9 year old boy and paused and explained as I felt necesary. At the end he was crying too! I was kinda proud of that moment because I realized he got the story and not just the action!

Wow, this thread came back to life!
Recently I saw Big Fish, the new flic from Tim Burton. Great movie with a tear jerker ending. All the chicks were bawling like crazy.
The Last Samurai had a sad ending too.

I just saw "Band Of Brothers". The series from HBO produced by Spielberg and Tom Hanks. It feels like Saving Private Ryan. But the series touched me even deeper than the movie. |

I've cried at many movies, but I'll tell you about the most recent one. I'm not sure if this movie was ever at the theaters, I watched it on DVD. "The Whole Wide World" with Renee Zellweger and Vincent D'Onofrio. I was just drowning in tears. You should watch it.

OK, cry I don't know about but I get emotional during:
Band of Brothers (wife bought the CD collection and I just have to watch some of them from time-to-time). I remember reading about the "Aww nuts" message that the Col gave during the siege and to see the actual men who told in that freezing weather that their commander wouldn't give up and that they were expected to holdout because it was their duty . . . well, I can't imagine any finer example of respect, loyalty or responsibility. Young men standing in the face of seasoned combat veterans; outnumbered, outgunned and cutoff from any kind of support and yet they had the chutzpah to say, "I will not bow my head. You may scare me or kill me but you'll never humble me." Now that's a scene to inspire someone.
Saving Private Ryan - the stoic approach to life that Tom Hanks' character has is awe-inspiring. It reminds me of the fictional representation of the Union Col during Gettysburg (Amer Civil War) who was actually a school teacher and rose in the ranks to General because he had a certain j'ne sais qu'ai that inspired people to want to stand with him (or slightly behind him). It is a selfless choice that sees some esoteric ideas as important and accepts the responsibility of that vision.
oddly enough Sabrina (the remake with Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford), when everyone conspires to push the uptight, anal-retentive Linus to acutally go after the woman he loves when he doesn't even realize how she broke his heart the night before.
And the weirdest of all is TinCup. It's just a hokey movie with some fun actors but when he's standing out there bangin' away at those damned 3-wood shots on the final day and he hands away a professional championship (who cares that its golf) and in the end he's all cranked up because he was an idiot and he just couldn't keep from being so bull-headed and Rene Russo's character tells him how heroic it was to see him battle and finally overcome the odds . . . well, hell, now I'm getting all verclempt here at work. Sometimes I look at myself and wonder how damned dumb I can be to try things the hard way over and over again and just then, someone lets me know that it can be inspiring to see someone not just give in. At least that's happened once or twice and I think that's why this one part in such a silly movie means so much.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that if it has guns in it I'm probably a big softie. . . . err. . . no that's not right. Hmmm. Oh well, there's a short list.

| I cry at happy moments, cry at sad moments. So pretty much about half the movies out there. |

| I cried in the Exorcist, but I had a girl on each side digging their nails into my arms. I felt like I'd been mauled, but that was a long time ago and the scars have faded. |
