re: Movies that make you an emotional mess

I never cry at the movie theater - something about all those other people distracts me - but when I saw Stepmom, I cried like I had just lost my kitten. I couldn't believe it.

In a good way - Little Women (Ryder)
In a bad way - House of Sand and Fog

Dancer In The Dark is the movie I cried at the most. Half an hour after it was done, in the cab on the way home, I was still crying.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

I have a couple:

Steel Magnolias (Yes I'm a girl)
Sophie's Choice (simply devastates me)
Schindler's List ("Emotional mess" doesn't even begin to describe my state after I watch it)

Oh, Gosh, DGrant.... "Beautiful Thing" and "Sense And Sensibility" are two of my all time favorite movies!! You have such good taste. :)

The part in S&S where Kate Winslet is standing on the hill in the rain, reciting that poem and crying...breaks my heart every time.

Oh and btw, forgot to mention WIT with Emma Thompson- WHAT an emotional roller-coaster. Couldn't stop crying.

Believe it or not, TERMS OF ENDEARMENT. Those scenes in the hospital with Winger and her kids, and then when she dies and Shirley falls apart -- get...me...every....time. I don't even watch it anymore if I can help it -- it's too upsetting.

SO many but a few are:

A Walk To Remember
Hotel Rwoanda
Beaches
My Girl
House of Sand and Fog
Million Dollar Baby
Love Actually

Etc, Etc...
It started with a sipmle idea, collecting one paper clip for every life lost, the feelings that connect us...are greater than those that divide us!

The Color Purple KILLS ME!!

I wept the entire walk home from Life is Beautiful.

And then...there's the shameful one.

The one that I'm loathe to admit turns me into a mess.

But when older Dottie and older Kit embrace at the end of A League of Their Own, I f*cking LOSE IT!

re: Movies that make you an emotional mess

i agree with The Color Purple... just the site of that purple cape flying in the wind in the distance at the end of the film, begins a weep-fest for me... the site of Mister walking in silhouette as Nettie and Celie play patty-cake...

OMG, i need a tissue...
