Biggest tearjerker movies

Snakey74

We've all been there: You're innocently watching a movie, and suddenly your heart contracts painfully. Your eyes fill with tears. Your lower lip begins to tremble as you fight in vain to stop the tears that are already coursing down your cheeks. :sad:

So, what did it? What movie or movies broke your heart? Or even made you cry in a good way?

Here's mine:

The House of Sand and Fog
Without a Trace
Marley & Me
Seven Pounds
August Rush

A Walk to Remember- gets me every time..

suemar74

Titanic...when the Irish mother is trying to soothe her children, and the elderly couple clinging to each other in bed, waiting for the end. Makes me sob every time, even when I know it's coming.

1. E.T.- when you thought he was going to die (OK I was 6 at the time)
2. Steel Magnolias
3. The Remains of the Day (well, I didn't cry, but I got really mad at the writers for making the single most depressing movie I've ever seen)

I don't watch animal movies, cause you know they're going to die, so I'm sure Marley & Me, Old Yeller, Where the Red Fern Grows (read it), 8 Below and whatever others where the dog dies would be on top of my list.

p.s.
Oh ya, Forrest Gump. The whole end is sad, but what gets me the most is "I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is" because you know so many real people with mental handicap go thru that.

I watched Marley and Me when I was about 8 months pregnant. BIG mistake. Cries for a long time. But the movie Letters to God had me in tears all night and I almost woke my daughter up giving her kisses while she slept in her crib (she was younger when we watched this) my husband even cried at those as well!

The Notebook.

I love when it is showing them as an elderly couple and Noah is visiting Allie at the nursing home with their children. The nurse comes out to take Allie back inside and their children are basically telling Noah that what he is doing is crazy because Allie doesn't remember him or any of them for that matter. I cry when Noah says, "This is my home now. Your mother is my home." It gets me EVERYTIME! :sad: (several parts do, but this is one of my favorites! -beautiful love story)

"If you're a bird, I'm a bird" GAH!!!! So romantic

I know what you mean. I was fine until I saw the date on the board. Then my tummy clenched up because I knew what was going to happen. Ugh.

I cried like a baby at The Lion King. Come on, when Mufasa died, I thought I'd lose it. LOL

Oh, and Untamed Heart. That one still makes me bawl.

A Walk To Remember, it was so emotional.. about true love, friendship and death of a loved one. I cry like a baby EVERY time I watch it!

I actually cry at alot of movies lol, just recently Soul Surfer, I'm such a sap.

bmqbonnie

Life is Beautiful! If you haven't seen it, you need to. Title is kinda cheesy but the movie is very very good. And heart wrenching.

Remember Me has the be the most depressing movie ever. I was too depressed to cry.
