The song "Danny Boy" does it for me every time I hear it.

[QUOTE=Lori S;4739954]Oh my cry feast movies are , Beaches, Brian's Song , and the Bridges of Madison County! Just can't make it through them with out the need for a box of tissues. Even though I know how each will end .. they still get me!
As one mentioned Sophies Choice is so.... emotionally upsetting .. I just can't watch, after the first time , It stayed with me for days.[/QUOTE


The one movie I couldn't watch more than once is Shindlers List.

I like a good cry at a movie that gives you an insight into human nature. I don't see any point in movies that make you cry because they are just full of really sad and bad stuff without giving you anything to take away and ponder.

I cry at nearly anything that is the least bit sad. What I read, what I watch, and what someone said, if it is nice. I like a good cry some times.

Oh yes! Forgot about that one. I cried almost all the way through the book too. But I love it. Even named my little girl yellow lab Marley :)

My DH will say it's a good movie, book, or show if I end up crying, like The Help. I have cried over books, shows, or movies. If the emotions move me, I can start.

Weddings and funerals do it for me. I just now found out my neighbor lady died yesterday and I almost burst out bawling while I was talking to her husband. My niece was married in October and I was crying almost as much as the father of the bride!

I'm with you on that one! Homeward Bound, I think that's the name, 2 dogs and a cat trying to get home...I know the older dog makes it, but every time the music plays, I start crying my eyes out.

Love a good tear-jerking movie, but love a good comedy too. Best of all is one that does both in the same movie. For me that movie is Fried Green Tomatoes, also Paint Your Wagon. Like others of you, it doesn't take much to make me cry and laugh. Love watching a movie like that with my sisters, all you hear is a multiple of sniffs in the room. Smilessssssssss and hugsssssss...

Real oldies for tearjerkers...........Dark Victory with Bette Davis, Backstreet with Susan Hayward and Madame X with Lana Turner......but I won't watch them anymore. Now I always want happy endings!
