Such a chick flick you know. But then I imagine how I would feel if I were in the situation that Duke (James Garner) was in at the end of the movie, and then I blubber for about another hour. 3) Titanic For this one I am truly ashamed. I'm sorry.

There's one scene where the captain enters the house after having just arrived with the baroness from vienna and the kids embarassing him by falling out of the boat into the lake. In the scene prior, he had just fired maria as governess and sent her packing as a result of the 'incident', and then enters to hear the children singing to the baroness. He softens and melts visably and makes good with maria for how touched was by their singing. Gets me every time.

Originally Posted By gadzuux Okay - another one. Shenendoah with jimmy stewart. GREAT MOVIE if you've never seen it or it's been a long time. Jimmy's an ornery old coot, and a single dad with something like ten kids, living on a farm out in the wilderness of virginia. Fates conspire and he ends up with two of his eldest sons fighting on either side of the civil war. And it's guaranteed to give you at least two 'puddle-up' moments, but does it in a genuine way where you don't feel as if your emotions are being manipulated cheaply.

Originally Posted By Megara I cry at all the sad parts in movies. One that comes to mind is "You've Got Mail". When Meg Ryan is waiting for Tom Hanks in the park and he comes along and she is crying... and says "I was hoping it would be you".. oh my - I just blubber like a baby.

Everything's gonna be all right!" and then he says: MARLIN How do you know!? How do you know something bad isn't gonna happen!? DORY I don't! and then she lets go. Oh! I am tearing up just typing it out right now. Such a perfect metaphor for life. It just reduces me.

Worst of all was that movie with the adorable otter - Ring of Bright Water - the otter is killed by having his head chopped off. I'm still crying.

Originally Posted By DlandJB Cinema Paradiso I cried so hard I couldn't drive for about 5 minutes after we left the theater and got back to the car. And when it came out on video and we rented it, I started to cry as soon as I heard the theme music during the opening credits. Gad, I love that movie!!
