Originally Posted By jasmine7 Gosh, you might be better off asking me what movies DIDN'T make me cry, lol. Definitely Finding Neverland. I still haven't made it through Eight Below because I was crying waaayy too hard. Beauty & the Beast (actually, most Disney movies, but that one especially). The Wizard of Oz. LOTR. The Last Unicorn. Titanic. Casablanca. The King and I.

When Beth dies; Thomas Newman's brilliant score doesn't help matters, either. 5. Dogfight. The final scene does it for me every time. 6. The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Totally unexpected ending. 7. Magnolia. I know it was much aligned in another thread, but this one hit me in a certain way.

Originally Posted By LadyKluck I'm also an easy cryer at movies, but a few that get me even after multiple viewings: The Last Unicorn The Phantom of the Opera Dumbo Steel Magnolias The Land Before Time An American Tale Schindler's List (I am FINE through the entire movie, but during the credits when they are all going to Schindler's grave is what gets me.)

Beautifully written. Very powerful stuff. The book also has a slightly different take on the ending than the movie. Recommended reading.

Originally Posted By LadyKluck I thought of a couple more: The Green Mile Shawshank Redemption I have been banned from watching both of these while pregnant because if I catch them on TV I will stop and watch them and no matter what part its on, I usually start right up!
Originally Posted By imadisneygal I am so glad to see another "Fiddler on the Roof" lover in this thread! I blubber every time I see that one, too. I just love it. Also Terms of Endearment. I just can't get through that scene of her saying goodbye to her kids. AHHHHHH!!!!!!! I cried through some of Brokeback Mountain. What a sad movie that was! I'll think of more and come back later!

I balled at the funeral scene. 3. Terms of Endearment - broke my heart. 4. Color Purple - when Danny Glover's character makes the sister's seperate. That just tore me up. I was watching the movie with my sister and I just couldn't imagine that every happening to us. I was sobbing and didn't even realize it till I looked over at her and she was doing the same. Very powerful. 5. One True Thing - when they are singing Silent Night. Wow, I was balling. Losing a parent is such a hard difficult thing. 6. Steel Magnolias - the graveyard scene. Man, could I relate. Others: Stepmom Old Yeller My Girl It's a Wonderful Life Platoon Sophie's Choice Splendor in the Grass

All I have to do is here the music!!! I went to see "Imitation of Life" with a college group in the 70's. They played it at the college and I had no idea what I was going to see!!!! It was a Douglas Sirk series. Holy Smoke! I haven't seen it since.

Originally Posted By BrnardM Finding Neveland got to me. Such a great movie: hey Acadamy, what happened? Also, for some reason Edward Scissorhands gets me worked up. It's definitely one of the most beautiful movies that I have seen and has something to say about human nature. But in all honesty, I think it's Danny Elfman's phenominal score that really does it for me.
