Tear-jerkers

Yeah, you know the ones I'm talking about, the movies that just tear at your heartstrings so hard that you can't help but bawl like a baby in front of strangers in a crowded theater. I'm sure all of you have seen at least one movie that haves this effect on you.

I have quite a few movies that make me teary-eyed because I'm like a crybaby. Smile

A couple would be

Forrest Gump (my boyfriend and I were weeping like babies at the end of this one. Such a great movie <3 )

Hotel Rwanda (if you know this movie, then there's really no reason to explain why I cried. Its just so tragic throughout like 95% of the movie.)

Walk to Remember (okay, I know its a chick flick but the ending is just so sad. I couldn't help myself)

Wedding Crashers (cried from laughter. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard durring one movie. Razz

)

So those are like a couple that I could think of off the top of my head. Come share a couple of your personal tear-jerkers too. Smile

The Titanic (shush!), Pearl Harbor . . . and Brokendown Palace. Other than that, I really don't cry during movies . . . my throat just gets reeeaaaallly really tight sometimes.

[quote]The Titanic [/quote]

Aw how could I forget Titanic? That one never fails to make me cry too. I saw it this Christmas and I was like crying silently and my family was like giving me weird looks 'cuz it was Christmas and I was like in a little corner of the living room crying but come on! Its like human nature to cry durring Titanic. I just think it justifies my humanity if anything. :)

[quote]Pearl Harbor[/quote]

I should've cried when seeing that one 'cuz at the time I saw this, I had like the biggest crush on Josh Hartnett but for some reason, I didn't. I got a little misty-eyed but didn't cry and I was too like shocked/grossed out by all the gore durring hte bombing scene to like cry. I should've though.

I'm going to see Pearl Harbor this weekend just to see if I cry this time. I haven't seen that movie in almost five years.

I didn't like [i]Pearl Harbor[/i]....It was a little too Affleck for my liking. I think the guy is a horrible actor and ruined anything resembling sadness in that movie. Unfortunetely, I feel the same way about Leonardo Decaprio and [i]Titanic[/i].

[i]Forrest Gump[/i]. *sniff* That movie made me so sad at the end. It was just...an ending that was not what everyone would've wanted. Granted, Forrest Jr. is growing to grow up with a good father, but Forrest I spent half his life chasing down Jenny and then she dies. :(

[i]Schindler's List[/i], definetly. Best Speilburg movie ever. I don't think I've felt so sad as when I saw that. I get sick of hearing about the Holocaust all the time, but that was one movie that portrayed everything so sharply.

And...[i]The Pianist[/i]. Great music, great plot, amazing acting, and I can feel empathy for the guy about how the piano saves his life.

I totally understand what you mean. You don't see too much of the actual brutality in this movie but it was just the thought that this [i]really[/i] happened. It broke my heart and I thought Don Cheadle did an excellent job with this role.

[i]Born to Be Wild[/i]- a show about a boy and an escaped gorilla. Seriously, I think this is the only movie that made me cry. TV is what mainly makes me cry. I remember crying recently while watching Random 1 when they found a new leg for a homeless man.

[b]My girl[/b] i cried when thomas died and the hot girl was trying to wake him up... ;_;

[b]Because of Winn-Dixie.[/b]
When the girl lost the dog and she thought he was gone forever and then her dad was telling her that he would love her always or whatever.

[b]Prancer[/b]
Probably the stupidest movie to cry over. When the girl's dad was going to shoot the deer and then he didn't.

Mine is the lamest list. Sad

1 recentish movie that makes me cry is The Last Samurai. For me, the end is a real tear jerker. I think I bawled through the entire ending scene the last time I watched it. I still cry even though I've seen it numerous times.

This is hard because even as a child I couldn't cry, the closest I ever been to crying was when Bambi's mother was killed when I was five.

You know that one scene is hotness. YOU KNOW WHAT ONE I MEAN. ::winkwink::

That movie was sad, but meh. I don't really cry from movies. I'll have a frown and moist eyeballs. That's about it.

OMG, same!! W00t!

I thought I was the only one who thought that was incredibly sad and just...unjustified. They were so noble, and here they were getting slaughtered like chickens or something with no mercy. That movie made me dislike America. Sad

It made start to tear up and I had to go to the bathroom to make sure no one knew I was bawling.

*tear*

[quote="PhunkYMunkY (Gray Roberts)"]Romeo and Juliet
[/quote]
Now when you say Romeo and Juliet, do you mean the old version made back in like the 50's or the newer revamped (better) version with Dicapprio? I prefer the latter but it was hard to cry during the movie because... well I already knew the plot before I'd seen it. Was still a great movie though. <3

PhunkYMunkY · Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2006 6:33 am Post subject:

Yeah the latter.
