I love tearjerkers though I have to be in the right frame of mind. I recently watched a real tearjerker with Robert Denero. I believe it was called -------- Don't Know . It is about a husband who has lost his wife. His children lie to him constantly to try to sheild him from their lives. My question is What is a tearjerker that you enjoy?
I loved your suggestions. I have seen the notebook,,,boooohooooed! Have seen 50 first dates...cried. Have seen Steel Magnolia ... boohooed (is that a word?.. well it is in the south.) I refuse to watch Titanic, just the previews upset me. Up makes me cry. Toy Story Three makes me cry. Suprisingly the recent release of Planet Apes made me cry. One movie that I didn't mention that makes me cry is Champ with Ricky Schroeder as a child actor. Now that will tear your heart out. P.S. I love you made me cry... a lot. I can't watch the boy in the striped pajamas or Schindler's list. I am like some other moms in that if I know that the story is true... they become too painful for me to watch... I will be sad off and on for days. Thank You Guys for all of your suggestions. I plan to watch several of these and soon. I
Ya know, since I had my son, I cry for no reason. I even cried at a scene in Transformers - REALLY!?! LOL!
The list is too long...I love a good sappy movie! I do love Steel Magnolias as well. The one that makes me sob even if I just watch the last 5 minutes is Terms of Endearment. I also really loved that movie, can't remember the title, with Julia Roberts as the stepmom and Susan Sarandon as the mom who dies...maybe it's called Stepmom???. It was so good and so sad!!!

My Girl
** Oh Janci!! I loved watching Savannah Smiles growing up!! I forgot about that movie!**
Disclaimer: I cry easily and at everything. I cry when I'm happy, sad, angry, proud.. whatever. I cry at the national anthem. But there are a few movies that stand out to me as making me cry more than others. We're talking sobbing here.
Pay It Forward
Ghost
Life is Beautiful
Shindler's List
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Saving Private Ryan
Love Story
There is a little known movie: The Cure.
I'm fairly confident my son and I are the only two people who saw it. It came out in the late 90s. It's a really touching story. Almost had to leave the theater for that one!
I'm a sucker for Cinderella stories (Ever After, The Prince and Me, The Princess Diaries... ) and underdog comes from behind stories (Miracle, Remember the Titans, We are Marshall...)
Hope Floats is a great movie. I love Sandra Bullock!
Bridges of Madison County. I cried my head off.
The Way We Were still gets me every time.
The Color Purple.
Legends of the Fall.
Another movie I was surprised I really liked was Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood. The song is haunting.
A River Runs Through It. ~My dad loved that book and movie.
Tomorrow is his birthday. I don't have him here on earth with me anymore, but he wouldn't have wanted me to forget to mention that movie.
Marley and Me.....but Im a huge animal person.
Titanic, I sob every single time she lets him float away!
and Terms of Endearment is a classic tear jerker.
and for a more recent one...Real Steel made me cry at the end too!
I cry at all those kinds of movies. And ALL of the old Hallmark commercials too...remember the one where the little boy is playing with the puppy, then he goes away to college. When he comes home, the old dog is sitting at the end of the driveway and starts running toward him. I'm getting choked up now just typing it!!!!

Up
50 First Dates (mostly just the very end)
.
The Blind Side
Jack Frost
Beaches
Stepmom
Most recent was Soul Surfer. And Mars Needs Moms, when she gave her son her helmet, I couldn't help myself. There are some older ones like Shindlers List, Titanic and Pearl Harbor, when I know it is something that has really happened it seems to bother me more.
The movie was Everybody's Fine with Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale. It was good.
Always with Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter is a good sappy movie.
Up - is one that makes me cry too...yeah - I know...
My sister and I call these movies "STUPID MOVIES"...there is one that my sister and I watched a couple of years ago - P.S. I love you - ohhh man !!! that can get my waterworks going!!!
This one was acutally based on a true story but it is def. a tear jerker....
The Blind Side
I LOVE Whale Rider! It is my favorite movie EVER! I cry every single time, but it is just sooooo goooood! It's a great "girl power" movie too. Completely appropriate family movie as well. Check it out... it's not a big budget film, but takes place in New Zealand and has a lot of Maori culture (most of the "actors" are villagers... and the "star" girl did an AMAZING job!! A must see :-)
The Blind Side
The last episode of Lonesome Dove when Augustus dies.
The Diary of Anne Frank
Chariots of Fire
Secretariat bc I love horses
Brian's Song
Born Free
Up makes me cry everytime.
Enemy at the Gate
P.S. I Love You
The Outsiders
The Notebook
The Family Stone, and Terms of Endearment, Little Women..
My sister's Keeper
The other Sister
Savannah Smiles
Stepmom
A League of their own even makes me tear up!
Everybody's fine, I think that's the movie your thinking of with Robert DiNero.
Hell I cried the other day watching Maury cause this father and daughter didn't know about another daughter that the mother put up for adoption, and it was his daughter.. I was thinking to myself.. I'm a big sapp...
48 hours makes me cry, especially if it has to do with children.
My Sisters Keeper makes me cry everytime.
If it's happy or sad.. I might shed a tear... That's bad...
Dont even mention the boy in the striped pajamas.. I was crying for days...
"Brian's Song", always. And I love a happy ending, "Pretty Woman" and "Hope Floats"(the soundtracks help). "City of Angels", he gave it all up for her, and, no regrets. "Steel Magnolias".
I LOVE a good tearjerker. They make me feel, feel alive and sad, envious, happy, and sometimes they rip out my heart. But it reassures me, I'm alive.
get so tired of just surviving day to day. I ache to LIVE.
Just to clarify and maybe make a few people feel better... The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is NOT based on a real story. I mean, obviously, it is based in the history of the Holocaust, but the movie was based on a fictional novel.
