What movie makes tears run down your chin ?

[Hansemand]

This week-end a watched a documentary on Danish television about women and the movies they watch who makes them cry, so they set them threw a few tests with watching movies that generally makes women cry.

I as a man admit: There are also a few movies that can make a tear run down my chin, but there is one who gets me every time:
Forrest Gump
Its that scene where Forrest is standing at Jenny's grave talking to her and puts down the letter from their son at her tombstone.
Such a sad scene, because you have followed Forrest threw his entire life and his on and off's with Jenny, his best friend he eventually fell in love with and finally married after such a long time.

Do you also have a movie that just gets you every time ?

Used to be Selena. Everytime I used to watch the hospital scene with "Dreaming of You" playing in the background, I'd bawl my eyes out. But I can't really say a lot of other movies have that kind of effect on me. Oh wait!! I know! Rent! Everytime I watch the funeral scene (specifically Maureen's eulogy) I cry it never fails.

My cousin actually pretty much bawled her eyes out through the first quarter of Sex and the City: the Movie.

The very first movie that comes to mind I bawled my eyes out is Titanic. When Jack (Leonardo DeCaprio)died at the end. I was 14yrs old, and at the time I had a big crush on him. I cried so hard, when I left the theater, my shirt was soaked. I was still crying. That is the only movie I ever bawled my eyes out. I've cried at the movie since that day, but it's just tears for a brief moment, not bawling. It does get to me every time though still.

Another movie that gets to me is "A Walk To Remember." I can't help but shed a tear every time. At the end, after they wed, she dies 3 months later. It's such a beautiful movie throughout, and she had to die, and the guy is so sweet, and wonderful. Man, makes me cry.

There aren't that many movies, but I know there are still a couple more. The movie "Pay it Forward" is a tearjerker for me too. Not as bad as the first two I mentioned, but its still very sad, and a very touching movie.

I'll admit that I'm a pretty emotional person (I blame part of that on my zodiac -- ahh, the "fun" of being a Pisces ) and that it doesn't take much for a movie to give me the sniffles -- even if it's just the music used in the scene.

All of the ones you guys have listed, except for Sex and the City (since I've never seen it), have had me bringing out the tissues. And in the case of "Titanic" -- I still do. But not for the scene you listed, Melissa. The scene from that movie that gets to me is the end, where she throws the diamond back into the ocean and they show pics from her life of her doing the things that she and Jack talked about (riding horses, flying a plane, etc) with that quavery flute music playing in the background....instant sniffles.

Another one that gets to me is the scene from "Contact" with Jodie Foster's character and her dad walking and talking on the beach.

And of course, how about my all-time favorite tear-jerker movie that I watch whenever I need a good cry...."Beaches" with Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey? That one never fails to get the ol' waterworks going.

For some reason, I've never really found Titanic to be very emotional for me. I've always found the boat sinking hilarious (especially when the guy hits the propeller) and I've also laughed at how Rose goes "Oh" when she drops the necklace into the ocean.

Here are some other tear-jerking movies: The Color Purple, Steel Magnolias and Mask.

I used to bawl watching Titantic when I was younger, I think I've watched over fifty times but I haven't seen it in about five years so maybe it's time to crack open the old DVD cupboard.

But the only fim I've cried watching in the last few years was the Notebook and the other is My Sisters Keeper. Both were at the cinema, the latter, I was actually working at the time! lol

Brian's Song original version (1971)

The speech Gale Sayers (played by Billy Dee Williams) makes in the locker room about the dieing Brian Piccolo, (played by James Caan) causes me to loose it every time. It was just on and I couldn't watch it.

You don't have to love football to cry over this one. Don't believe me.....just watch it.

I'm also a very emotional person (despite being a Cancerian rather than a Pisces--it might be a water-sign thing) and bawl at lots of movies and I admit to enjoying doing so. A lot of the movies I own on DVD are ones that always make me bawl.

Most of the ones you guys have mentioned are ones I own and ones that will always make me cry, especially "Selena" and "Brian's Song"--if I need a good cry, I put them on and they never fail (so do "Morality Bites" and "Awakened") And because they do, they're all among my favorite movies.

But so are "Bambi", "Old Yeller", "Lassie, Come Home" (yeah, I'm a big crying-when-the-animal-dies person--I probably would at "Marley" although I haven't seen it yet.) "Wizard of Oz", "West Side Story" "The Sound of Music", "It's a Wonderful Life", "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", "A Muppet Christmas Carol", "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" (the cartoon version, not the movie), "Hero at Large", "United 93", "Field of Dreams" and a number of others that I can't think of right now since I'm at work, but that I can tonight when I look over my collection.

[The Original P3]

Titanic, The Notebook, A Walk to Remember & Pearl Harbor

Just right off the top of my head.

[Esmeralda]

Oh, God, TOP3! How could I forget The Notebook? Oh, yes, bawled my eyes out for that one!

[Piper Sorelli Halliwellღ]

Selena also makes me cry EVERY single time I watch it. Along with the Notebook and A Walk to Remember too!

Let me think...
umm Simon Birch, Marley & Me, Heidi, and Harry Potter 6 got a few tears out of me at the very end.

[Astral Echo]

Marely and Me, yup I cried at that one too.

Titanic and My Sister's Keeper.

"Wizard of Oz"

Wizard of Oz? How so? Just curious.

I feel like I'd have a stronger attachment to that movie (like I used to) if I hadn't read the book Wicked and seen its musical (on Youtube... this is what I resorted to when I missed it when it came to town). I know it's not technically canon with the movie... but it made me think of Dorothy extremely negatively and well same with the Wizard.

When and if they make Wicked into a movie I'm sure the "For Good" scene will definitely make me cry (hopefully if they cast a good cast).

[Esmeralda]

Well, that's the thing with that author. He loves writing stories that makes the good guy seem like the bad guy and vice versa. It would be like writing a Charmed fic that shows that the true "good guys" in our series was The Source and The Seer and The Crone and Zankou and the Triad, where the true demons are the Elders, while the demons are the true Elders. I'll bet he could do it.

So although I've read "Wicked" (and the one about Cinderella's stepsisters as the good guys), I guess I count that as an alternate universe while counting "The Wizard of Oz" as the true universe, since that's the way L. Frank Baum wrote the original.

And every last time when Dorothy is stuck in the castle and says, "I'm frightened, Auntie Em; I'm frightened", oh, the tears simply stream down my cheeks!

[foxfire]

Well even Disney did the thing of making the Step Sisters not actually be evil with its subsequent DTV releases. I've always found them very interesting... although I always wanted Cinderella to sock them when they tear her dress apart. Then again, if she did then that wouldn't make her Disney Princess material. Apparently, they can't fight for themselves... go figure!

I think the weird thing about the Witch is that no one ever gives the audience a reason why she's evil. They never say that she's done anything evil and that we just have to automatically hate her because she wants a pair of sparkly shoes Dorothy STOLE. I mean I think it's so incredibly awful to deny someone the one thing their sister left behind! How hurtful is that? And that's all in context with the film. Of course, Glinda is also partially to blame... I have a feeling like if Dorothy met WWotW first Glinda would be the bad guy considering Glinda basically brainwashes her and withholds information from Dorothy. Then again, as an adult I just have a lot of issues with the idea that the moral of the story is to stay home because it has everything she ever needs. WTF?! How incredibly insulting to people who desire more than being a farm girl... Rant over...

Did some thinking and came up with a couple more to add to the list:

• My Girl
  
• The Fox and the Hound
  
• Bambi (the scene where Bambi's mother gets shot -- esp when I was little)
  
• Ladder 49

These three make happy tears run down my cheeks:

• Hoosiers
  
• Breaking Away (filmed on the campus of my alma mater -- IU Bloomington)
  
• Rudy (can't stand ND, but I love this movie for some odd reason)
