What movies have made you cry?

One's that you may have only shed a tear or two over.

One's that make you cry no matter how many times you watch it.

One's that you catch only a few minutes of and it just happens to be in that spot.

For me a few are

ET - always makes me cry, and I seem to always get it when it is when ET dies.

The Champ - Its the last several minutes of that one, even the end of the book had me crying.

Toy Story 3 - Yes this did make me cry, saw the last 10 minutes of it a few days back and it made me cry again. And I know of others that cried.

I rememeber years ago there was a movie called "A girl called Sooner" that made me cry.

Lassie Comes Home - Damm that dog and his love for a boy. Roddy McDowell & Elizabeth Taylor.

Little Women - the one with Margaret O'Brien.

This might sound silly, cause I RARLY cry for TV shows or movies but one that does every time is Charlotte's Web. Doesn't matter if it's the cartoon version or live-action version with Dakota Fanning, or the Book, as soon as Charlotte dies, I'm crying. I cried as kid, and as a 24 year old, still cry today when I watch it.

Imitation Of Life put a lump in my throat. It's heartbreaking. This girl is black but spends her whole life trying to pass for white and is ashamed of herself and her mother.

Oh man quartermainefan, I can't say that I balled, but that random Sunday afternoon I went into my parents' room and sat at the foot of the bed while my mom watched this had a powerful affect on me. Naive me didn't even think that movies *back then* addressed stuff like this. It really struck a deep chord as the *passable* child of a black mother who for a window of childhood was a little ashamed around certain white school friends.

On that mama's boy note, I have that reflexive wistful choke up if while channel surfing I land on the end of Steel Magnolias or especially Beaches when C.C. does that little wave to heaven on That's the Story of Love. My mom LOVED those two movies. :(

As a kid, a movie that made me cry was Land Before Time when Littlefoot's mother died. I remember crying and running upstairs to my dad tearfully saying, "I'm glad I have parents!" reaching out to hug him! :lol: He couldn't help but laugh and it's no wonder he spent thousands on sending me to drama school. :lol:

As an adult, I cried at Dancer in the Dark which stirred up a lot of painful [!@#$%^&*] about my girlfriend who had just suddenly and tragically died.

As an acting student-slash-kid who lost his mother, I was shook to the core by Kim Stanley's graveside scene in The Goddess. I had LIVED that moment, said those very words, and I was stunned, just silence and tears when I saw that.

My brother, a soap watching mama's boy like me (but he took after mom with the Lifetime movies :rolleyes: ) cried like a baby when we saw Taken. He has a daughter, and the part where she says, "You found me", he was gone.

Also The Way We Were always get's me crying, and so does Love Story.

More recently,

For Colored Girls

The Family that Preys

Away From Her is so painful to watch, but in a good way. Its so sad. I never saw La Vie En Rose, but I just coulsn't get over how Julie Christie did not win the Oscar.

United 93 got to me too. I've seen it several times and everytime I can't help but feel as if I am right on that plane with all those people. Its so well done. Doesn't feel like a movie.

The first TV show that ever made me cry was SEX AND THE CITY--Specifically, the Season 4 episode were Miranda's mother dies. The first movie that made me cry was MONSTER, at the end, when Charlize Theron nodded to her girlfriend to testify against her.

Other than that, THE LORD OF THE RINGS: The Return of the King always gets me crying when Sam says "I may not be able to carry it, but I can carry you" to Frodo and it only gets worse from there. When Frodo wakes up, I get misty, when everybody bows to them I cry, when they say their goodbyes I'm bawling my eyes out and I don't stop until at least 30 mins after the movie ends--every. single. time.

Gosh, there have been a few movies that made me cry but some I've only seen once or twice, like THE BLIND SIDE, THE KING'S SPEECH. Others, more often seen, but always managing to make me cry: the mourning of Dumbledore's death in HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, SEX AND THE CITY when Carrie realizes Big is not coming, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN...

They seem a lot but they're nothing compared to the number of movies I watch... I'm sure there's more, I'll post as they come to me!

My Girl makes me do the full on uncontrollable ugly bawling thing. Like i almost can not function. Always has.

A Nightmare on Elm st pt3. When nancy dies and kristen holds her, rocking her back and fourth, crying as she tells her she will dream her into a pretty dream. yeah, totally cry or at least tear up.

The Notebook. No shame. I cry, a lot. Same for Dear John, A Walk to Remember, etc..

Brokeback Mountain, same thing as above.

Love Story is another one.

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
