lottiedottie July 11, 2014 Share July 11, 2014 I don't tend to seek out tear-jerkers, but sometimes you can be in a mood and you just want to wallow. Let this thread serve as the go to place for the weepiest movies! Also welcome: movies that make you cry that aren't usually thought of as cry movies. To get us started: Terms of Endearment--this movie makes me so emotional, that a few months ago that when the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast discussed cry-inducing pop culture, the mere mention of this movie produced a lump in my throat, tears in my eyes and my heart to pound. I could barely handle the segment of them just talking about it! My Girl--When I saw this movie in the theaters, I had no idea what it was about beyond what I saw in the trailers. I thought it was going to be a cute friendship movie. Yeah. It was that. But I had no idea what was going to happen. I was stunned and bawling in the theater, to the point that my friends were like "Uh, yeah it's sad but get a hold of yourself, woman!" I don't think it would have the same affect on me were I to watch it again, but I'm also not going to test that theory. Bridge to Terabithia--I watched this one with my kids and I just wanted to die with sadness. Josh Hutcherson is so good in this, and kids dying is probably the worst thing ever for a parent to watch, even if the kids are fictitious and it's a movie. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10756-need-a-good-cry-put-your-recommendations-for-tear-jerkers-here/

RedKoolAide July 11, 2014 Share July 11, 2014 "My Girl" was the first tearjerker for me, too. I also cried like an idiot when watching "Forever Young". The music plus the reunion at the end killed me. "Bridges of Madison County" gets me every time. The scene near the end when Francesca's hand is on the car door handle...I always, ALWAYS weep. "Cast Away" is another one. It's stupid but I turn into a puddle of feelings when he loses Wilson and sees his former flame again. When she tells him, "You're the love of my life!", I die every time. "Project X" made me realize how sensitive I was to the mistreatment of animals.

I used to be able to watch the movie without getting emotional, but then I made the mistake of reading about how it was made. In particular, the part about how the men and women used in that scene were all refugees from Europe, including France, and didn't know if they'd ever return home. That one woman they show the close up crying while she sings her national anthem? Refugee and it kills me.

GreekGeek July 12, 2014 Share July 12, 2014 I don't know if anyone ever expected a happy ending to West Side Story, seeing that it was based on Romeo and Juliet. And it isn't as if musicals hadn't had good-guy deaths before. As for some weepies that haven't been mentioned yet... Million Dollar Baby. It looks like a distaff Rocky, until...ooof. Its finale reminded me a lot of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, another good sad movie. For a good child-loses-animal story, there's The Yearling. I haven't seen Old Yeller, but I know that's another example. (That Friends episode where Phoebe watched the whole thing for the first time!) A Christmas Carol, pretty much any version, where the Cratchetts grieve for Tiny Tim. I know Dickens tells us in the end that it didn't happen, but it's still sad. I won't see movies about sick or dying children or teens. Dark Victory. It prettifies death quite a lot, but it's still affecting.

Interesting side note here, it's said that Sally was able to get the emotions from herself and the rest of the cast by rehearsing it immediately before filming it and using her son's name instead of Shelby. Sounds a bit morbid, but, if it's true, it worked. I'm a happy crier, too, and last night, I ran into Miracle while channel surfing and when they beat the Russian team, I always tear up.

Wiendish Fitch July 13, 2014 Share July 13, 2014 Shadowlands: C.S. Lewis mourning the loss of his wife, Joy. It kills me just thinking about it. The final scene in A Patch of Blue: A little context for those who haven't seen it, it's about a blind girl named Selina (Elizabeth Hartman, who had a sad life story of her own), who befriends a black man named Gordon (Sidney Poitier), who is probably the only person alive who treats her with anything resembling respect. Gordon, knowing that even being friends with Selina is taboo (the movie takes place, and was released, in 1965), and doesn't tell her he's black. Gordon is able to enroll Selina in a school for the blind to help her escape her abusive mother (Shelley Winters). Selina finds out about Gordon, but doesn't care, and confesses her love for him (the extent of Gordon's feelings are left ambiguous). Gordon tells her about the school, and a taxi has arrived to take her there. Selina is heartbroken, but agrees to go. When Gordon offers to escort Selina downstairs along with the driver, Selina says, "I have to say good-bye twice?". Then he sees she forgot the music box he had given her earlier, runs out to give it to her, but the taxi is already far in the distance. He just sadly watches, then goes back inside. I kid you not, I was a wreck. My day was ruined. But it is probably Sidney Poitier's finest acting, and A Patch of Blue is my all-time favorite score by Jerry Goldsmith. Charlotte's Web: Dammit, don't make me tell you why! And the 2006 version can take a long dive in a shallow lake; Debbie Reynolds was, is, and always will be Charlotte!

The Unbearable Lightness of Being - when the dog dies. When the people die? Heart of stone. Schindler's List - at the very end/postscript when people were putting stones on Oskar Schindler's grave.

screamin August 6, 2014 Share August 6, 2014 The final scene in A Patch of Blue: ... I kid you not, I was a wreck. My day was ruined. But it is probably Sidney Poitier's finest acting, and A Patch of Blue is my all-time favorite score by Jerry Goldsmith. This. I saw it when I was about thirteen, and I swear fanfic would have been written if I were aware that the concept existed at the time. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10756-need-a-good-cry-put-your-recommendations-for-tear-jerkers-here/#findComment-267696
psychoticstate August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 I cry during any sports movie, animal movie and/or Michael Landon program. (The Ingalls family pulls together in times of crisis? I cry. Someone dies? I cry. Mary loses her sight? I cry. Michael Landon cries? I cry.) Outside of that, despite having seen it probably close to 100 times and owning the DVD, I cry like a fool EVERY time I watch Somewhere in Time. Seeing Christopher Reeve with that gut wrenching cry and the end . . . gets me every damn time. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10756-need-a-good-cry-put-your-recommendations-for-tear-jerkers-here/#findComment-267738
BatmanBeatles August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 Dumbo - I don't know who I hated more, the circus people or the snooty elephants. The Lion King - Simba trying to wake up his dad. I would be surprised if that scen wasn't inspired by The Champ. Little Women - When Beth dies. Rabbit Proof Fence - What the government did to Aborigine children was horrible. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10756-need-a-good-cry-put-your-recommendations-for-tear-jerkers-here/#findComment-268128
RubyWoo72 August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 There was an episode of Garfield in which Odie was being sent to the pound and he didn't realize it. He was happy and goofy while he was getting in the little truck, and that slayed me, as a kid. He was on his way out, and was too stupid to notice, and I cried for a good half-hour. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/10756-need-a-good-cry-put-your-recommendations-for-tear-jerkers-here/#findComment-268137
