Tearjerkers- movies that have made you cry — Page 3

There are only 3 movies that have ever made me cry in public:

1. Deepa Mehta's 'Water'. My friend and I were snotty messes.

2. 'Iris'. Again, a snotty mess

3. 'Murial's Wedding'. The part when she walks down the aisle at her wedding, right past her poor mother who has come with a big gift, and her mother looks just absolutely heartbroken. Damn. Breaks me every time.

And 'Requiem for a Dream' is pretty bad too, although it didn't make me cry. But I do remember calling up my mom after seeing it.

Are you guys trying to tell me that I'm the only homo here who cried during "Brokeback Mountain"? I saw in the theater at least four times and I cried every time.

I do believe that I cried during that Ann Margaret movie. (Which, as it did a LOT of people, gave me respect for her as an actress.)

I can't tell you how many other films that I've cried at. "Dark Victory" when Bette Davis sends George Brent off and goes upstairs to die.

I remember, ages ago, my sister and I were watching a Humphey Bogart movie called "Passage to Marseilles" and he dies at the end and my sister and I were in tears. Well the telephone rings and my mother answers it and tells us that our uncle has just died. But the news didn't really affect my sister and I because we were crying over Humphrey Bogart's death.

I remember seeing "Beaches" with my sister, who cries at auto shows and who cried at "Beaches" and who muttered to me while she was crying, "I feel so manipulated by this movie."

A Walk to Remember

Atonement
Million Dollar Baby
Crash
Little Miss Sunshine ("Grandpa, am I pretty?"...LOST IT!)
It's A Wonderful Life
Life is Beautiful
Gone With the Wind
Titanic
Brokeback Mountain
Dreamgirls (that final scene when they show Effie's daughter crying while she's singing shot right to my heart the second time I saw it.)

Away From Her made me cry so much!

I didn't even think of Iris, but that was pretty sad. I just revisited that the other day.

That scene during Terms of Endearment throughout the end make me cry every time. Especially when Jack Nicholson approaches Debra Winger's older son at the funeral reception - I am bawling
