S.D.
I very very rarely ____@____.com one that gets me every time (the book does it even more) is Where The Red Fern Grows.
Such an old book/movie but I love it :-)
Every damn time I watch Pearl Harbor, I cry. EVERY TIME! I get so emotional. I can't even watch it.
When my kids watch Lion King, I have to leave the room when Mufasa dies. I just can't handle it.
When I was younger, Homeward Bound had me sobbing every time those dogs found their way home. So touching!
What movies get your tears flowing?

Right now it's Toy Story 3 because my boy is about to go off to college...and I can still see him running around the house in his Buzz Light Year pajamas at the age of three...like it was yesterday...sigh :(
This is weird for me...
Before I had a kid...no movie made me cry.
After I delievered and in the same year both of my parents died....every little touching moment makes me tear up.
Up, Toy Story 3....just last night I was watching 50 first dates and started to cry when she looked at her daughter for another "first time." It's slightly annoying lol.
Hachi! It's such a sweet, but sad dog story.
Message in a Bottle.
Home Alone. I cry in the church scene with the old man who lives next door, when Kevin realizes he's a good man, just lonely. Also at the end when Kevin waves at him through his window as he see's the mans son coming to visit him. I'm getting teary eyed now, lol!!
My favorite movie is 50 first Dates,and yes JenneaLynn,, when she sees her daughter,,again.
walk to remember, notebook,
Deep End of the Ocean w/ Michelle Pfiefer....from the moment the toddler goes missing (5 minutes into the movie) through the end I can't keep my eyes dry for more than a few minutes. For those that haven't seen it, I won't spoil it but will say things work out eventually. I love the movie though.
Lately everything makes me cry :( super hormonal still. I can't watch diaper commercials with out crying. It's rather sad. I have to hold back sooo many tears while I'm at work and listening to peoples problems. Now that is the worst!!
It's a Wonderful Life.
Man of LaMancha. I've seen it hundreds of times as I own it, and I cry every time.
My Beautiful Life. The first part of Up. The Color Purple. And there's a very old and little known Tom Hanks movie with Jackie Gleason. Nothing In Common. It reminds me so much of my late father. I can't watch it ever again. The most emotional I've ever been about a movie to date. I was a complete wreck after that movie.
The last 10 minutes of the following movies make me BAWL:
Beaches
Mr. Holland's Opus
Field of Dreams
movies not so much, but there's a passage in 'the once and future king' (where beaumont the hound dies) that makes me cry on cue as soon as i hit the first words of the passage. it's like a party trick. i can't NOT cry when i read it.
i've only seen it once so far, so i'm not sure if it will continue, but when i recently saw the new 'true grit' i lost it when little blackie was running his heart out. he reminded me of my pony whom i lost last fall.
khairete
S.
My Sister's Keeper
Not Without My Daughter
Earthlings
Children of Men
Saving Private Ryan
Many others I'm sure I"m forgetting... and that's just the adult movies LOL
Since becoming a Mother, things touch me differently. I'm much more emotional about sensitive, sentimental and child related things.
Simon Birch. I dont know why. Another is Beaches (as corny as it sounds)....there seems to be something with having a good friend that I associate it with.
I will say that Homeward Bound is a tear-jearker too......" you're my favorite boy"....alone will make ya cry!!!!!
Ghost
The Girl in the Cafe
Field of Dreams
Driving Miss Daisy
Stepmom - I don't know why, but it gets me every time!
Teresa S, I am feeling old now thinking that someone who was 3 when Toy Story came out is getting ready to go to COLLEGE! I remember Toy Story 1 debuting like it was yesterday - when I was in college!
This is embarrassing - The movie "Powder".
Braveheart, when he looks over and sees his wife in the crowd. UP in the beginning when they tell the story of his life without words.
I'm with you on the Lion King! The Notebook also gets me every time! Braveheart when his wife dies... *sniff, sniff*
Oh, and Shindler's List is my all time bawl-fest.
Terms of Endearnment
Steel Magnolias
Ransom (when Rene Russo hears the gunshot on the phone and goes and throws up in the kitchen).
Beaches, An Officer and a Gentelman, Steel Magnoias, and Charlotte;s Web. Probably because I grew up in a farming community, and my mother has us read it as a part of our going through puberty. I also cry during Pay It Forward, especially during the end when they sing Calling All Angels. I played that song during my son's funeral.
The Lion King
The Notebook
Where the Heart Is
Beaches
Titanic
An Officer and a Gentleman. I have seen it a million times and every time Zach comes back for Paula...I cry.

Toy Story 3 (the scene where the toys think they are going to die, and also when Andy drives off to college)
I am a sap. :)
Toy Story 3...when they are in the incinerator, resigned to be destroyed...and also when Andy leaves his toys behind with Bonnie!
A Walk To Remember
The Notebook
Phenomenom (with John Travolta)...must see movie for anyone who hasn't seen it
Ghost, the penny scene, every time
The Fox and the Hound...when we were kids, we didn't have a vcr but we used to listen to this on record player all the time, I was watching the other day with my girls and started crying.
Not a movie but a new show that came out over the winter, Off The Map, I probably cried at every episode. I hope it comes back next season.
I'm sure there are more but those are the only ones that I can think of now!
Father of the Bride Part Two
Big Fish
My Girl

Life is Beautiful (repeat)
Those are just off the top of my head but MANY MANY movies make me cry those mostly make me cry for the duration of the movie.
Marley and Me was last movie I remember watching that had me sobbing forever. I remember thinking what a horrible movie it was for showing such unnecessary pain and death to the dog. Seriously the movie really went way into detail about the poor dogs pain and suffering and it broke my heart. I know its just a movie but still not cool
Life is Beautiful. Hands down.
Terms of Endearment

P.S. I love you...
I love chic flicks!! Sometimes I can get my hubby to watch...(Keyword "Sometimes")
A LOT of good ones already mentioned. I'll second Up, Toy Story 2 and 3 and It's A Wonderful Life (when he finds Zuzu's petals!) I also have a tough time with Lorenzo's Oil. Just horrifying to think of having to watch a child slip away like that.
One odd one that gets me is I Am Legend. We actually used to show it at school before holidays sometimes because the kids love it. But I always had to get someone to cover my class because I cry pathetically when he has to put his dog down.
Marley & Me
PS I Love You
Return to Me
Charley (here is the info, it's not very well known, but I LOVE IT!!) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330136/
The beginning of disney's UP gets me everytime, when his wife dies and he is alone, I get tears every stinking time.... lmao
My Sisters Keeper. Sucha sad movie
My kids watch Homeward Bound, and I get choked up every time the boy is calling for Shadow and thinks he didn't make it. Ack! Same as you with Lion King, too.
One movie that I absolutely SOB through is Heart and Souls with Robert Downey, Jr. You would think that after having seen it a billion times I would get a grip, but nope.
The Same Time Next Year
Steel Magnolias
Homeward Bound
I could watch these same movies over and over!
Eight Below

And The Shawshank Redemption.
And Schindler's List.
And The Lion King.
And Braveheart.
And Mr. Holland's Opus.
Ok, I guess I do cry at movies sometimes... :p
Driving Miss Daisy. When he feeds her a bite of pie at the end. I feel so bad for her bing in a nursing home and her only true friend is her driver that she treated so badly sometimes.
My friends and I saw this in the theater. I was sitting there bawling and all my friends were guys. They never took me out in public again.
Heart and Souls; a Robert Downy Jr. movie that starts when his character, Thomas, is born at the same time a bus wrecks killing all on board. The ghosts of the dead passengers are attached to him to work through their issues that they didn't have time to resolve in life. I bawl when Alfre Woodards character, Penny, dies and she is crying for her kids. When she finally gets to see her adult children and can help them find each other. When Thomas realizes he loves Elisabeth Shue's character, Anne, and make a passionate speech to her. All the other characters are so well played and it's just one of those feel good movies that make the time spent watching them well worth while.
Little Women, Beaches, Beauty and the Beast. The Young Victoria, Rocky, Ghost, North and South, ..That's just a few. When I was little it was Old Yeller, and Where the Red Fern Grows..
City of Angels
Passion of the Christ
The Notebook
The Green Mile
Meet Joe Black
Persuit of Happiness
Autumn in New York
UP--- I cry practically the whole first 5-10 minutes of the movie. At least the movie is mostly happy! I have to second some other people's movies too:
- the little princess
-marley and me
-steel magnolias
-Juno
-Saving Private Ryan
-50 first dates
Forrest Gump makes me cry... but I love it! also- A.I. just tears me apart! Any movie with lost, sick or forgotten children will make me bawl for hours.
I can't watch some movies at all because they make me so distraught... I will never watch "my sister's keeper" or "the notebook" or "revolutionary road" ever again! They are just too sad for me!
I hate when I see a sad movie in the theater... you are stuck there... sucking in your botton lip trying not to cry, blinking away tears... and the worst part is that there are no tissues- OF COURSE! My husband Loves to take me to sad movies at the theater though... haha!
