oops, sorry, Blaze 01 has already given you the story, Copper's Mom.
"Terms of Endearment", with Shirly MacLaine and Debra Winger. This is an old film, but was really considered a two-hankie tear-jerker.

Okay here's 2 that i can think of for the moment!
Title: My Life As A Dog (Mitt liv som hund) Year: 1985 Country of Origin: Sweden Read Review's on Amazon's Website here In 1950s Sweden a 12 year old boy Ingemar (Anton Glanzelius) is sent to live with relatives. His father is away and his mother is slowly dying of some unnamed disease (I think it's tuberculosis) and can't handle him (he's VERY mischievous and always getting in trouble). With his relatives he grows up and learns how to deal with life, love, feelings of abandonment, sex etc etc. Title: Pelle the Conqueror Year: 1988 Country of Origin: Denmark Read Reviews on Amazon's website here The end of the 19th century. A boat filled with Swedish emigrants comes to the Danish island of Bornholm. Among them are Lasse and his son Pelle who move to Denmark to find work. They find employment at a large farm, but are treated as the lowest form of life. Pelle starts to speak Danish but is still harassed as a foreigner. But none of them wants to give up their dream of finding a better life than the life they left in Sweden.

Marko: I almost forgot about Sophie's Choice. Yup both movies are heart-wrenching.
I revisited another one last night, a cartoon on top of all, but this is not your typical Disney cartoon. Grave of the Fireflies revealed the indifference of Japanese people towards the end of WWII, even though Japan was the aggressor, but ordinary people had overcome so many hardships. The story involved a couple of orphans, an older brother Seita and his much younger sister Setsuko, set in WWII when then entire city of Tokyo was destroyed by fire bombs. I wouldn't call it *anti-war* movie because it's much more than that, and the director was heavily influenced by Yasujiro Ozu's use of "pillow shots" (Tokyo Story), and some very creative imageries. |

I found Saving Private Ryan to be quite sad....especially since there were 2 old men sitting in front of me at the movie theater, undoubtably vets themselves. They held each other and cried during the whole film!! Poor old souls!! I cried the whole movie, and felt like having a big group hug at the end!!! :sad:

Platoon was probably one of the saddest movies - a feeling of hopelessness and defeat as you're leaving the theatre.
Disney's The Fox and the Hound, when the little Fox gets left in the forest and he's shown retreating in the rear view mirror. That's a guaranteed tear jerking scene!!! And of course, mentioned earlier, Ole Yeller!! That should be on everyone's list. Rick C www.goldentales.ca |

o.k. I thought of a few more, I didn't check if anyone mentioned "Old Yeller", "Charlotte's Web", "Kramer vs. Kramer"(pretty old one)
and..OOh I almost forgot--"Pay it Forward" with Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt!!!! What a sob-fest THAT was!!!

Ooh so many...
Stepmom
With Susan Sarandan (sp) and Julia Roberts. Susan plays Jackie, a divorced mother of two. Julia plays Isabel, the new stepmom of her two children. Jackie doesn't accept Isabel into the family, and Jackie's daughter treats Isabel like dirt. Then, Jackie is diagnosed with terminal cancer. As her barriers fall down, she shares tender moments with Isabel. There is one bit that gets me every time - when Isabel says she doesn't know how she is going to cope when Anna, the daughter, says on her wedding day "I wish my mom was here." There's also the bit on Christmas day where Jackie calls her children into her room and gives them presents and tells them she will love them forever. Now here comes the REAL tear jerker - they are having a family photo and Isabel is standing out, when Jackie tells her to sit next to her - proof she has finally been accepted. There's the song 'Ain't No Mountain Higher' playing - enough to get the coldest of hearts broken!! Beaches How can nobody cry at this? Following the story of two women who met on a beach as children and how their lives go in different directions. And then one woman is diagnosed with a heart condition, which she eventually dies from. She leaves her young daughter to Bette Davis's character, and the song 'Wind Beneath My Wings' just keeps the tears coming. |

I cry over just about every movie but the movie that this thread made me think of was Ladder 49. I cried ridiculously (like sobbing...lol) for at least a good 15 minutes after it was over!! Armageddon (sp?) is another huge tear jerker for me.

I'm the biggest sap. I cry at the drop of a hat, doesn't matter if it's a sad movie or a happy movie.
If I even hear the music from Cinema Paradiso I'll get a tear in my eye! |

Sob story.. knew it was coming titanic and old yellar
Ok the titanic! I knew what was going to happen and yet i sat with my fingers crossed that it may turn totally into fiction and everyone would be saved....... I bawled forever and then took the tape out and threw it across the room.
Looking back..... OLD YELLAR !!!!!!!! As a child, I was carried out of the theatre in my dads arms screaming with tears running down my face... and didn't sleep that night at all, my parents sat with me all night telling me he was ok....... I still can't watch that movie.:sad: |

There are so many I cry over lol..but I will have to agree with others..the biggest tear jerker was "the notebook"...i cry during the enitre ending of that movie and for a while afterward lol..my boyfriend doesn't want me to watch it anymore ....but sometimes...a good cry is needed. I work with people in the end stages of dementia/alzhimers (can't spell) and it brings so many emotions and thoughts. I also really cried on "the green mile" and the movie "my dog skip"...there are so many more...even commercials get me going lol

The WORST tear jerker movie that I have seen was the Passion of Christ. I think I cried for an entire two hours - for those of you that aren't religious, never mind that it has to do with the crucifixion of christ, but the fact that ANY human being can do that to another is truly horrible. The movie didn't hold back, thats for sure...

The ONLY movie that has ever made me cry was "A Walk to Remember" starring Mandy Moore and some guy . I was holding back the tears the 2nd and 3rd time I saw it too.
If you haven't seen it yet...I recommend you do...

My Life had me crying from beginning to end.
Life As A House also had me crying from beginning to end. I just realized, movies about people dying from Cancer usually get me. I think it's because I've seen so many family members pass away from it and I guess it brings up old hard feelings. :sad:

Life as a house was pretty bad (not bad as in horrible, but awfully sad). I LOVE the house they build too. It's really beautiful. And the end? Aw.

While reading this thread I was thinking LaBomba "Ritchiiiiiie...."
My Girl Romeo and Juliet, even though I know the end it, always gets me when she opens her eyes and he just took the poison, darn you irony. The Basketball Diaries Requiem For A Dream What Dreams May Come Untamed Hearts Jerry Maguire, when Jerry tells Dorothy, "You complete me." I agree with Bambi, Beaches, Titanic. There are probably a lot more, I just can't think of right now. |
