    "MY LIFE" with Nicole Kidman and Michael Keaton. He was nominated for an oscar for this one but Tom Hanks won for Forrest Gump. It's a shame because Michael Keaton was amazing. I've seen it so many times and bawl every time. It was on TV a week after my dad died of cancer, and I thought I'd never recover from my bawl fest that time!

    god, it's so good.

    The Thorn birds was such a tear-jerker for me and my Mom. We watched the whole mini series one day (eight hours) and when my Dad came home he opened the door to the t.v. room and was like oh my god what's wrong with your eyes? We had bawled all day!

    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.

    OMG, just reading this made me want to cry. Now that I have two little ones of my own I have to leave the room. I just can't watch it.

    What dreams may come. Is the saddest movie I have ever seen and I am not aloud to watch it when hubs is home because he says all I do is cry through the whole thing. I hits really close to home. I think that is why it makes me cry so much.

    Just bought and watched that one this weekend. I love that movie but it doesn't make me cry. I love the story though and the use of colors is awesome!

    My sister passed away almost 13 years ago and right after it happpened my mom tried to be with her just like robin williams character did. So this movie is HARD to watch without crying.

    BTW - I also learned from that book to stay away from Oprah's list. She had a bunch of really sad books on the list. I think she might like to see people recover from tragedy - but I can't handle that much tragedy.

    Movies: Marley and Me, Sophie's Choice, Jack Frost
    And I refuse to read anymore books on Oprah's list! They're so depressing I'm about ready for therapy after them! :noway:

    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

    I watched that movie once, and never again....it was absolutely heart wrenching!

    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)

    I am soooo with you guys!! Gets me every time. Also Field of Dreams when he talks and plays catch with his father. "Ease his pain":sad:

    Wow those are some great selections!. Alot of those movies got me watery eyed. The notebook almost had me until they both died at the same time and at that point my lack of a mentral cycle caused me to see that as being a bit much. Anyway...

    When I was a kid- Land before Time made me weep. I hated when little foot's mom died. Gosh that was horrible. Still gets me chocked up.
