Mine is the movie Titanic! I was the biggest blubbering idiot you'd ever seen leaving the movie theater! rolleyes.gif

I've heard the Notebook is a big tiem tear-jerker but I haven't seen it yet!

bwalkerletters replied: Mine was Ray! I watched it the first time, and I guess I was preoccupied with the girls or something, and was like "hey, that was a good movie". I watched it again all by myself one day on the couch, and cried like a baby! smile.gif haha.........I'm talking about the UGLY cry! haha

TANNER'S MOM replied: The Notebook....for both DH and I

Armageddon..sp?? I cried and cried..

Steele Maginolia's lol

Titantic..

And this is sad..DH and myself watched an episode of ER..while I was pregant w/ Tanner. There was a mentally retared couple who had gotten pregant and they were trying to take her baby away.. It was sooo sad. She loved that baby. And I think they ended up teaching her living skills..but Gosh it was sad..


Oh and I am Sam..

stanleygirl replied: The movie Seven with Brad Pitt has the saddest ending ever! I cry like a baby every time I watch it. Also, Lion King makes me cry every time too. But hey, really I cry at commercials too.....

DansMom replied: A quiet little movie called Testament, about a nuclear accident in San Francisco and the effect over the weeks on a town that gets the fallout, especially the life of a particular family (husband worked in the city and never made it home). At the end, the mom has lost her teenage daughter to radiation poisoning, and the town has constructed a makeshift graveyard for the dead. The mom has a son who is about 8 years old, and they see the son of their neighbor wandering the streets on his bike. The neighbor's son has downs syndrome (the actor was also downs syndrome). Turns out the neighbor has passed on, so they take the boy into their home. The boy doesn't know these horrible things have happened, and just announces in a happy voice that it's his birthday. They make a cake and light the candle, sing happy birthday to him---just the mom, her son and the boy gathered together as a family of survivors. The down syndrome boy expresses great joy, clapping his hands and laughing with delight at the cake, and that's how the movie ends.

I cried for 40 minutes without stopping.

mommy2owen replied: Mine would have to be Raise Your Voice, with Hilary Duff! I cried through the whole movie.

jcc64 replied: Schindler's List. The scene where the parents load their kids into a truck, initially thinking they are going on some kind of field trip, and then realizing what's really happening as the truck pulled away. I was audibly sobbing in the movie theatre- almost threw up actually.
Could never watch that movie a second time, but it certainly was an amazing piece of film, and I'm no fan of Spielberg's.
Runner up would have to be "Sophie's Choice".

5littleladies replied: Titanic. I was pregnant with Maddie when I saw it for the first time and I literally cried for a whole day.

TANNER'S MOM replied: My Life.. gets me too!

My2Beauties replied: We're such a bunch of softies!! LOL LOL!

Oh I also cried watching Steel Magnolia's too! I saw Seven too stanleygirl and that movie was awful, I cried at the end of that too. But nothing made me cry as hard as the Titanic, my friend went with me and she had already seen it and she kept saying are you sure you're ok, I was crying so hard that I was having problems breathing, I mean I was a mess! My eyes were swollen for like 2 days from crying so hard!

redchief replied: I don't actually cry, but I watched a movie a few weeks back about a boy who's grandfather died and he spent the year looking for proof of God and heaven. Worst thing is I can't remember the title now. My eyes were wet through the whole thing.

Jamison'smama replied:
Well I could have added Where the Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller but chose to just put The Champ--that little Ricky Schroder gets me sobbing--

The post asked what movies make you bawl your eyes out.....yes, I agree it was an obvious choice.

redchief replied:
I was kidding... The Champ is a classic tear duct cleaner (as is Old Yeller; I never saw Where the Red Fern Grows).

~KARA~ replied: Ladder 49!!!

Jamison'smama replied:
Oh I know, I did agree that it was obvious though. Where the Red Fern Grows...kid loves dogs, dogs die....just horribly sad.

Now Cocoon....that just makes me strange.

I also could have added Snoopy Come Home---- That song "No Dogs Allowed" used to get me as a kid. biggrin.gif

CCTandME replied: Savannah's Smile
We Were Soldiers

kit_kats_mom replied:

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Return to Me always makes me sob my eyes out. bawling.gif
I think the most I've ever cried in a theater was at Lord of the Rings - any of them. rolleyes.gif

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I cry in a lot of movies...but if it were something I've seen recently, I would say the Notebook for sure. I was sobbing...

Others:
Cinema Paradiso (one of my favorite foreign films)
Boys Don't Cry (isn't that the movie where Hilary Swank dresses as a boy?)
I even cry at movies like Gladiator and Brave Heart
What's the one with Bette Midler?? Oh yeah, Beaches! Total sob movie.

I can't think of others right now...but there are quite a few! bawling.gif

PascosGirl replied: I am not much of a crier but the movie that always gets me is Losing Isaiah. That one was a tear jerker.

Emeraldsmom replied: When my mom had cancer I watched the movie Stepmom. That really did it for me. Also the movie Armagedon.

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
I had tears in my eyes just reading that..... bawling.gif

But the biggest one ever, Angela's Ashes.....then after the Notebook

Here's a quick bio from imdb on Angela's Ashes....

Angela's Ashes is based on a 1999 memoir of the same name by Irish-American author Frank McCourt. Both the novel and movie detail his experiences growing up in the impoverished slums of Limerick Ireland during the time of the Great Depression. McCourt was, strangely enough, born in NYC but his parents decided to pack up the family and move back to Ireland upon the death of their infant daughter. When the baby dies, Angela (Frank's mother) shuts down completely and is unable to care for her other four children. Some less than helpful relatives intervene and soon they are on a boat. For me, the deaths of McCourt's three siblings (two the result of disease and malnutrition) provides for some of the most haunting cinematic images ever. I think back on the scene where one of Angela's beautiful twin boys lies white in death on her bed as she cuddles him in her arms with a helplessness so pitiful and disturbing, that only a truly heartless person could not be moved. In another particularly poignant scene, ten-year-old Frank goes looking for his drunkard father Malachy in a pub and sees him drinking right on top of his dead baby's casket. It's scenes like this that make Angela's Ashes such a heart rending experience. It would have been easy for this film to turn into nothing but a couple hours of suicidal despair, but thankfully, McCourt has a good sense of humor and filled his memoir with plenty of comedic anecdotes to be sprinkled here and there.

JAYMESMOM replied: The Notebook - I bawled like a baby and had to call my husband at the end to tell him how much I love him and just to here his voice.
