To complement Kitty's Horror thread, I thought it'd be nice to re-kive those tearjerky moments that had you sniffling into your tissues.

For me, the all-time most emotional weepy film I've ever seen was Philadelphia, I very very rarely cry at films, but that one had me streaming.

Thanks for the shout floops. :D

I'm not that much of a 'weeper' at films, but a couple that got me teary-eyed:

Beaches
Untamed Heart

I LOVE a good weepy movie. If im feeling low (which is rare), i feel the best medicine is to watch the weepiest film and let it all out :blink:

On my top list are:-

Love Story
The Way We Were
Steel Magnolias
Fridays Child

I cry everytime I watch Beaches and Steel Magnolias but the one where I wept buckets was IN the cinema and it was The Bridges of Maddison County, I must have been in a pretty "dark place" at the time........I had to wait till everyone had gone so I would "pull myself together" :blush:

We have just watched Band of Brothers - all 10 episodes one after the other over the last couple of days and I shed a few tears watching that.......

I blub at everything, even kids movies! :blush:

But the ones that really got me were:

The Champ (years ago though)
Dead Man Walking
The Green Mile

and hundreds of others that I can't recall now!

I blub at everything, even kids movies! :blush:



Ohhhhhhh didnt realise that we were including the kids movies.........that would be Bambi and Casper the Friendly Ghost for me, while babysitting the nieces - they were most amused to see me blubbing :blush:

Oooh good thread!

Well I get really emotional watching movies ...its mainly heroic struggle type movies make me weep!

Ones i can think of which affected me unbelievably:

The Pianist - that movie is just so so sad, watching the pain, suffering, humiliation and injustice he suffers - i was in bits!

The Elephant Man - This is such a difficult movie to watch but it is one I would so recommend seeing if you haven't...it truly depicts the sheer compassion and inner beauty of one human being against the evil and cruelty of others...so so sad

Shine - one of my fave movies depicting the sad yet trimphant story of a musical genius

when i was a kid...

I bawled at ET, Bambi....and dare i say it when macauly culkins character dies in my girl!

I blub at everything, even kids movies! :blush:

Ooh me too.
I don't know what it is, but since having kids, anything slightly emotional will have me reaching for the tissues. :laugh:

I'm another softy, I cry at everything, happy, sad, touching :cry:

My kids think it is hilarious and are always chucking the tissues at me :laugh:

When I was younger I watched a film called 'Last Feelings' about a swimmer - it makde my cry buckets. I even went back to the cinema on my own the following week to watch it again (that's the only time I've ever been to the cinema on my own).

Others that have made me cry include:
Schindlers List
Lorenzos Oil

There must be 100's more, but I can't think of any right now.

I am a cry baby too - the last film I cried buckets over was Artificial Intelligence [on over Xmas].

I was in tears when I saw Bambi. I was only little and it scarred me for life!

Others that have made me cry include:
Schindlers List
Lorenzos Oil

There must be 100's more, but I can't think of any right now.

I have wanted to watch Schindlers List for years, but I just know I will blubber all the way through, so I have decided its one of those movies I need to watch on my own, but I havent got round to it yet......

The Champ does it for me everytime. There is a certain film channel that shows it every week and almost every week I would watch that scene at the end......
Dead Man Walking
Philadephia - I couldnt see for the tears in the middle of London.
Recently, a lovely Kevin Kline film called The house that I built or something like that, that was great
Phenomenon - should go in a different thread because John Travolta was gorgeous
Romantic films like Out of Africa
All lassie films.....
Even the King and I can get me.. (Im identifying a problem here)
The Notebook was a sweetie tearjerker
There was also The Last Snows of Spring
In the shadows was the Bodyguard

Regeneration
One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest
Saviour
You can count on me
The Pledge - the 5 above not strictly tearjerkers in a romantic sense but emotionally evocative for many sadnesses.

The last snows of spring has to be the smaltziest film ever produced Tonee. I wept buckets! I remember crying for weeks after Black Beauty, but the worst one of all was a kiddies film about this old dawg called Yella who had to be shot because he'd got rabies and went mad.

In a bizarre twist when it comes to films, whether it's happy ending, sad ending, mixed blessings ending, I'll be the one sniffing and hoping everyone thinks I've got a cold.

Passion of the Christ was the most moving thing I have seen apart from Schindlers List, I wept buckets all the way through!http://img90.exs.cx/img90/2365/k1ocray.gif

This thread is a real coincidence! I was going to do one when I came in because I have just bought the new improved Bambi DVD - and on the back it has the warning 'Contains mildly distessing scenes'.

Mildly distressing!! God God, this film traumatised me as a child. In fact I'm not sure I'm really up to watching it yet.

Others that are sure to set me off are:

The Way We Were (when she 'fixes' his hair at the end...)
Dumbo (his mother in the cage, rocking him in her trunk...)
The Railway Children (when she sees her father through the steam from the train...)
Breakfast at Tiffany's (when the cat goes missing in the rain...)

:cry: where's the tissues?

More recent tear-jerkers:

House of Sand and Fog
Stolen Summer


As for Schindler's List and Passion of the Christ...neither made me cry...instead I just get sort of void of emotion. I think the extreme nature of each situation makes it hard to even comprehend or watch in the same manner as your typical tear-jerker.

You've reminded me about Beaches and Schindler's List - both of them bring a tear to me eye.

And I saw a Bambi DVD for sale the other day, but even now, I'm still not ready to face it :cry:

The lion king esp at the beginning
Jane Eyre
Wuthering Heights

Have to say I don't really cry over films but:

Shindlers List - the first time I ever cried in a cinema :cry:
The Champ - This was the first film that ever made me cry!

I can't really think of any others that have moved me to tears.... :unsure:

The ones i can think of are

As Good As It Gets - I wept and wept when I saw this film, it was SO moving and so heatwarming and so funny just brilliant.

I also cried over (and this'll make you laugh!!!) Trains Planes and Automobiles. I laughed like a drain the whole way through but thought the pathos and sadness that John Candy brought to some of the final scences was unbearably sad!

I also cry alot when i watch The Deer Hunter - marvellous marvellous film on every level.


ooooh I wanna watch a sad movie!

As Good As It Gets - I wept and wept when I saw this film, it was SO moving and so heatwarming and so funny just brilliant.

I didn't cry during this film, but this has to be one of my fave films ever. It really is a brilliant film.

A Wonderful Life never fails to make me cry however many times I watch it :cry:

Have never admitted this to anyone and hope by my admission it might help the problem but the film that gets me going everytime is Armageddon :blush: In fact am feeling the tears well up just thinking about it :cry:

The Iron Giant (Kids film) and Meet Joe Black both get me all emotional too but Ghost and Titanic sorry didn't stir nothing in me but the craving to get outta my seat and go to the pub :laugh:

am i just heartless? i don't remember crying at bambi!!

Dumbo (his mother in the cage, rocking him in her trunk...)

:cry: where's the tissues?

Thats another that "got me"..........

I had a bit of a whinge at the beginning of Gladiator and Braveheart too....... both times it was in the bluddy cinema!!!

Steel Magnolias


I remember crying my eyes out during that film when I was younger... :cry:

I cry in most films, I even cry sometimes during the news! :shocking: Honestly Im a bit of an emotional person! I cannot handle things happenning to children.

Titanic was pretty sad at the time

A less well known movie called Truth or Consequences had a very sad ending

My girl was outrageously sad - I cried for days, :cry:

Riding in cars with boys was very sad for me

Blow was an ultimate tear Jerker for me. I couldn't handle that one.

Gone with the wind was sad too...

The Beach had me crying

Talented Mr Ripley is very emotional, I cried a lot ... Matt Damon is a really good actor though I also cried in his Goodwill Hunting..

The lion king esp at the beginning


oh me too tonee!!! gets me going every time. i can feel my eyes welling up, my chest swelling up, my heart pounding and before I know it, I'm blubbing uncontrollably. So, much so that I wont watch the Lion King in company or if I do I have to start being silly and flippant at the beginning!

Yes the Lion King I can feel the tears coming I can see the daddy lion dying all over again :shocking: :cry: :sad:

Something else that moved me to tears in majorly distressingly public way was Miss Saigon. I found it absolutely harrowing. I cried and cried for ages I couldn't move out of my seat, I couldn't clap, I couldn't speak. It was, I think, one of the most fabulous shows I have ever seen.

With you on that one Dol, and 'Blood Brothers' gets to me every time as well (and Evita!)

ooh yes Evita. i haven't seen the stage show, but the film with Madonna was surprisingly excellent and very moving. When I first got the soundtrack I listened to it endlessly. I always liked Julie Covington's voice for Evita, but it's very hard to find a copy of it now.

oooo...I laughed till I cried in the first half and then cried my eyes dry in the second! Fantastic!

I always liked Julie Covington's voice for Evita, but it's very hard to find a copy of it now.

I read that as "it's very hard to copy it now". For a moment i thought Dol was a professional songbird. :bag:

How could I have missed the Prince of Tides from this thread. I find this a very moving film.

I read that as "it's very hard to copy it now". For a moment i thought Dol was a professional songbird. :bag:

She is! You want to hear her do Whitney....it's scarily good! She is a legend around the local karaoke bars and clubs! :cool:

I cry at everything and anything, from kids films to nature programmes. I cry read sad news articles. If it involves animals dying then I am on the other end of a Kleenex tissue!

and the film ET always makes me cry my eyes out.

The ending of Thelma and Louise :(

The ending of Thelma and Louise :(
Yep. For me too. Gt idea though. Loved your website (did mention that in another thread!)

Thank you tonee :)! I can't remember but thanks again if so ;)

Watched Big Fish yesterday. Wonderful! And the end is heart-swellingly tearful!

I well up most days at something I have read or watched on tv. Which is why I stick to reality shows and skim thru the papers with an eye trained to avoid anything sad or distressing.

My first good blub would have been at Bambi tho...

Freddie cry's at Nemo when the eel attacks his wife and eats all the babies.
