Tear-jerker Films

ok - a new category here.
What is a film that you remember as one of the saddest you've seen?
Sad films that really touch, and move us are among the ones we "really" remember for a long time.
But - its hard to watch sad films sometimes... have to be in the 'right" mood.
We all like happy endings, after all - a feel-good film.

And.. do sad films bring tears to you? I find some will bring a lump to my throat, a tear 'to" my eye.. but I never actually cry in movies, though I know a lot do, especially young people.

"My Life" with Michael Keaton. Very difficult to watch and VERY moving, without being hokey or melodramatic.

"Black Beauty" - I start crying before the opening credits are done!!

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...
