Movies that destroy you

ET.... I hate when they're dying... and they take elliot away from et in the hospital and et bawls like a fawn that's been hit by a harvester......... it was more of a thing when I was a kid actually, but I remember it bothering me alot! LOL.

I think it's the noise ET makes "mmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

The Color Purple when she reunites with her kids...:sad: its a happy cry though

When I just want a good cry I pop in P.S. I love you. I know its cheesy, but its my one chick-flicky indulgence.

I can't watch anything sad with children in it. If something bad EVER happens to a child - especially a baby - in a movie I have to switch it off. I even have a problem with Labrynth. :laugh: Its so sad because that baby is actually crying in those shots. Like somebody pinched it. I don't understand parents who can let their babies cry for the camera. :mad:

Eeesh, I know there are tons of movies that make me just sob, but now that I want to name them my mind has blanked! :grumble:

The only one I can think of now is The Notebook.

I am with you... the Notebook is a great movie! Another personal fave of mine is In Her Shoes.. the poem at the end..

I carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

The Green Mile

"When I die and I stand before God awaiting judgment and he asks me why I let one of HIS miracles die, what am I gonna say, that it was my job? "

This quote really got to me

Awesome movie, and Tom Hanks just blew me away in that scene.

My girl will always get me all blurry-eyed!! "His glasses where are his glasses?!" :sad:

Also its just a moment but in the Patriot and the little girl who wouldn't talk starts bawling and goes running after her daddy screaming "Daddy don't go daddy I'll say anything" the tears just stream!!

There was a movie that was called "The Cure" it was about this little boy who got AIDS from a blood transfusion and it was in the 80's so none of the other kids would play with him- they were all afraid to catch it. So there's only one little boy who will be his friend. Anyway they hear about down in New Orleans there is a doctor who has a cure for AIDS(of course this isn't true, but the kids believe it). So they set off on a raft down the Mississippi river together, and along the way the AIDS kid is getting sicker and sicker. When they stop to camp, the AIDS kid tells his friend that he hates waking up in the dark cuz' he wonders if he has already died. and maybe that's what death is like, all alone in the dark, and so his friend gives him his shoe, and tells him that when you wake up and you smell my shoe you'll know you aren't dead. So long story short, of course, AIDS kid dies, and the friend isn't supposed to go to his funeral cuz the parents kinda blame him, and at the end he walks up to the casket and puts his shoe in there.

I sobbed like a part of my soul had died. Most tear inducing movie I EVER saw.

and more recently, Gran Torino had me bawling too. Especially (SPOILER) when he says goodbye to his dog.

Pay It Forward is a real boo-hooer for me.

I know it's probably cheesy, but that musical montage at the end of Titanic (where the band is playing and the people are getting ready to die.. the mama telling the kids a bedtime story so they will sleep through it and the old couple laying in the bed with the water rushing in). Makes me cry everytime.

Marley and me...oinly cause I have a yellow lab also.

I second Marley and me

My favorite tear jerkers are Terms of Endearment and Steel Magnolias :sad: They get me every time..

Field of Dreams "Wanna have a catch??" :sad:
Steel Magnolias :sad:
The Green Mile (for the reasons everyone else stated) :sad:
Pay it Forward too!:sad:
Gran Torino too!! :sad:
A Walk to Remember:blushing:
The "Dog Scene" on I am Legend!:sad:
Brian's Song
Old Yeller
Where the Red Fern Grows (I refuse to watch that ever again!! LOL!):sad:

I second the Dog scene on I am Legend. (it wasn't in the book, I was not prepared, I was furious and sad at the same time)
and I second Red Fern. My seventh graders just had to read it (required reading) and afterward I told them all, I promise you, I will never make you read anything like that again.
Animal stuff really gets me-

A new movie that I boo-hooed watching was "Seven Pounds". I had NO clue what it was about when I went to see it, so I suspected nothing. It is seriously one of the best movies I've ever seen.

These are great examples.

Another one that really got me when I didn't expect it was a film called "My Girl" about a daughter of a man who ran a funeral home. The trailers for the movie were so funny that I thought it was just a great comedy.. After inviting 3 friends to join me, I find out it is a devastating tear jerker.

Does anyone remember that movie?

Bought this one last year. Me and the kids all cried! Even my 10 year old son!
