Is there any song, movie, poem etc. out there that makes you cry everytime without fail?

What is it? And why do you think it has such a strong effect on you?


I always cry whenever I watch the movie Message in a Bottle, I really have no idea why, but that movie messes me up!!!

When I really need to turn the water works on, I watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition! I love being reminded that there is still kindness in this world, and I love the look of relief that washes over the parent's faces!!

This song has been making me cry, I think it's just the sweetness in his voice. The lyrics don't hurt either....whoosh...

the movie "the iron giant" always gets me, every time i watch it.

i think part of it is that the little boy reminds me so much of myself when i was little - being a latch-key kid, having a single parent, being in a world where i had to entertain myself most of the time so i developed an overactive imagination and a love of robots and comics and all that crazy boy stuff that i still haven't grown out of.

i think the other part of it is just how sweet and innocent the robot is, and how it has no idea how powerful it is until the boy has to say "you are not a gun". oh no, i'm tearing up just writing that!

it's just the sweetest movie ever and it touches on a lot of things that mean something to me.

The scene where the girl,(charlie Theron) is leaving keanu reeves in sweet November

radiohead's videotape usually wrecks me every time.

The Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode "The Body". Gets me every time.

I never saw that movie maybe I'll add it to my netflix.

Wall-E made me cry for the same sort of reasons. Innocence...

I have to watch that again.

When Buffy says... "mommy" OMG.... that shit is harsh!!!

The last episode of Six Feet Under does that to me too!!

Selena and In the Time of the Butterflies make me cry every time that I see them. Those movies are just sad as hell. I can't help it As for songs, the only song that makes me cry is "Triste y Vacia" by Hector Lavoe. Some of the lyrics remind me of a bad time in my life. I can't listen to it

I can see why.

i was talking about this with someone recently, and we both realized that we had a tendency to cry while listening to radiohead on our headphones while riding in public transit. try it sometime if you need a good cry - any radiohead album will do!

Poor Thomas J...

JuliePurplehead said:

That's a good one too!

Robyn's "With Every Heartbeat" did that to me.

I've walked out of places when that song was playing because it's just too much.

Sweeny79 said:

I like the fact that it's so real and honest. No sad music playing in the background, no vampires attacking her (except the one at the very end), it was a straightforward, real life accounting of death. Heartbreaking.

JessieJ said:

I liked Selena...i don't think I cried. The rest I have no idea about. I wish I spoke spanish.

sextonseven said:

It was very very very well done. But, I also cry when Xander loses his eye.

Anxiety said:

yup, done that.

Sweeny79 said:

I think it was the following episode when Willow and Xander are in the hospital after he loses his eye and they are joking about how he can be a pirate and wear a patch and have a parrot on his shoulder and Willow's laughing suddenly turns into crying. I thought that was incredibly sad.

Sweeny79 said:

especially that version

sextonseven said:

That too.

I'm so glad you like Buffy. I've been getting shit for it since I started watching.

evenstar3 said:

This gets me too....



Now it's in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says it's free.
And I hope you have more luck with this than me.


I get such a clear image in my head of this.... and for some reason it knocks the wind out of me.

Funny huh?

Sweeny79 said:

The scene after Selena gets shot and her family is in the hospital and they find out that she has died makes me bust out in tears every single time. I know what's going to happen, but I still do it.


I'd translate the lyrics for the song, but I'd cry if I read them I'll summarize.... it's about a girl that has gotten her heart broken. She feels betrayed, promises were broken... ...but she hides her feelings from everyone. Toward the end of the song, she begins to unravel. The disappointment and hurt starts showing on her face and then she cries and everyone wonders about what has happened



And I swear I just shed a tear just thinking about that damn song

The Color Purple, and Step Mom get me crying every time.

JessieJ said:

Jeez... I have a few songs like that. Ones I can't even think about because of what I was going through when I was listening to them.... :: shutters::

MoniGram said:

I cried when I read The Color Purple, I don't recall Stepmom, though I know I saw it.

Sweeny79 said:

It's a good show! You give anyone that goofs on you for watching it the chair!

sextonseven said:

I forced Rich to watch some of it the other day and HE FELL ASLEEP! He said it was and I qoute " A suckfest, even before a vampire showed up."

I tried to tell him Angel is better, but he won't even watch one episode.

He does sit through Supernatural each week though... so I'll I can't complain too much.

Sweeny79 said:

The part in Stepmom where the little boy says..."no one will ever love you like I do" to his dying Mother...I bawl my eyes out.
