When I'm with somebody and a tear jerker part comes up, I look in another direction and think about sports, sex, anything to distract my mind. IT'S MACHO MAN TIME!

But when there's nobody around I bawl like a little girl.

me too, lol.

I cried when Dorothy said goodbye to the Scarecrow.

"The Wizard of Oz" is my most favorite movie of all time. I've seen it nearly a hundred times, have owned it on 2 or 3 different VHS versions, and about 3 or 4 different DVD versions, and I NEVER get through that scene without shedding a tear or two.

The Scarecrow was the first one Dorothy met on that very strange journey, they went through thick and thin together, and now they had to say goodbye forever! Too sad, lol.

Incidentally, any fan of "The Wizard of Oz" NEEDS to go see "Wicked" on Broadway. It's an amazing musical, and gives so much more insight into how the characters in "The Wizard of Oz" became the way they were (...it's actually a prequel to TWoO). "Wicked" blew me away.

UP the beginning is priceless...no words for almost 12 minutes but so much emotion in the imagery.

LOVED that movie. You know, they call those kinds of films "Kids Movies", but I think there's a lot in them for adults too. And I agree, "Up" was very, very moving. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but there are many sad, touching, moments in that film. Lot's of fun, heart-racing adventure too! Definitely leaves you on an "Up" note, lol.

Plus, the dogs in that movie cracked me up! Especially the Doberman, lol.

Ya'll are some big ole' cry babies!

It doesn't happen, but every now and then I just want to purge myself and have a big

all out cryfest. It's cathartic.

Thanks for movie ideas!

No one cried during Under the Cherry Moon?

At least 2Freaky4Church admitted to crying during Purple Rain!

A Patch Of Blue - Ending Scene

That is such a good movie! I just watched it a couple of months ago. So powerful, and yet understated. So sad that Elizabeth Hartman, who played Selina in the movie, committed suicide years later by jumping out her 5th floor apartment window.

That's horrible. She did a really good job in that movie and probably would have had a great future as an actress.

I saw the movie for the first time on WTBS back in the early 1990s and fell in love with it. I recorded a few years ago on AMC when they aired it. I always wondered if she did the voice of Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer in the Christmas special that comes on every year.

"A Patch Of Blue" was definately a great movie and definately proves that "love is blind". She was a blind girl and didn't even know that Sidney Portier was black until her mother told her. All she knew was, he was this wonderful man that paid attention to her and treated her better than her sorry ass family. It kills me everytime when I watch the ending and see her begging to stay with him. First she thought she had found happiness when he took her away from her mother and then she immediately finds out she has to leave and go to the blind school. They always end movies at the worst possible time. I always wanted to know if she ever got with him after she finished the school.

No, but she did play the voice of mouse-heroine Mrs. Brisby in 1982's "The Secret of NIMH". So you were right to assume she had the voice to do cartoon voice-over work. "Rudolph" was voiced by Billie Mae Richards (1921–2010).

Elizabeth Hartman killed herself on June 10, 1987 at the age of 43.

Yeah, me too. But to go into THAT part of the story (them actually getting together) probably would have been too much for 1965.

Dancer in the Dark

I don't think I've ever cried as hard at anything as I did through that film. It was all I could do not to sob out loud in the theatre and one of my friends actually WAS crying out loud.

I watched it once more on dvd and just cried and cried and cried since I was alone.

I laughed. At the end. When they are about to hang(?) her. There was a part where someone called the room from outside and it reminded me of the cheesiness of "Houston, we have a problem." I let out a laugh and got dirty looks from everyone in my row. Oops.

I'm not a crier. At all. The only movie that ever got me was My Girl, when the girl runs downstairs screaming about how Thomas J. can't see without his glasses. I was in high school though, so maybe I wouldn't cry now.

I cry so easily so I wouldn't know

Forrest Gump gets me every time, though

Summertime, Brief Encounter, Now, Voyager, Umberto D - haven't seen, but I'll check them out!

I know someone has got to know a movie that can make me cry!

Hmm....maybe I am heartless.

I'm like the Tin Man here...

You didn't cry at the Lion King????

Heartless I tell ya!

For me, crying is largely tied to PMS. Depending on the time of the month I can cry at commercials.

That ASPCA commerical with Sarah MacLachlan fucks me up e'ry damn time.

Guurrrllll, please! I have to change the daggone channel! Oh, lawd, when those dogs and cats give that trembling, downtrodden, woe is me, nobody lubs me look, I just friggin lose it! They got new one now with whathisname, the coutry & western, bandana wearing, reefer smoking dude.

Keep us posted on your crying capabilities evoked by movie. I never cry for a movie. I get upset sometimes, angry or sad. However, I never cry.

I'm capable of crying. Nothing physical wrong with me. Just no move gets me crying.

Once were warriors is beautiful movie. One of my favorites. Was very upset afterwards, not crying.

And I don't like sad movies. Why should you watch a movie that makes you sad? I'm not even watching tv at the moment because the news and bad quality of tv programs make me sad.

I'll try "Knockin On Heaven's Door" the day I do feel like crying.

Were you abused as a child? lol

That shit was funny as hell. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

As far as tear jerkers, I don't know, movies are just that, movies. I cry for real shit like televised memorials or funerals. Like Michael Jackson and I'm glad I didn't see that live broadcast and stayed my ass at work. I saw some clips and read some of the transcripts and I was bawling. When Marlon Jackson and Paris spoke, that shit will get you every time.

I saw the Walter Payton memorial live and it messed me up.

Admittedly, though, I'm an easy cry. Just about anything can make me tear up, whether out of joy or sadness. I'll even cry over a song or painting I think is beautiful and I routinely cry over news casts.

I refuse to watch that I cried myself sick during Breaking the Waves, I hate Lars Von Trier now, for all that emotional manipulation!!

I cry when kids are abandoned by their parents mainly, or parents lose a child/baby.

I’ve heard people say this about ‘Dancer...’ before. In fact, I think I recall Tron & Moonbeam saying they had the same reaction as CarrieMpls. I dunno...I found Dancer and Breaking the Waves both so affected and theatrical that they really didn’t have any kind of impact on me. I like both movies a lot, and have watched both a few times, but to me they're so mannered & stylized they have no gut-level impact.

I started to watch Grave of the Fireflies (Japanese anime about a teen boy & four year old sister trying to survive WWII) about a year ago and couldn’t make it past 20 minutes because I just found it too painful to watch.

I'll confess that in general I do not prefer to watch any sappy movies.

I've been accused by friends as being heartless when everyone

is crying durnig a movie and I'm rolling my eyes.

There have been a couple of movies that have made me a little tear-y.

Last night I was trying to remember which movies those were and I

drew a blank! I guess I'm trying to block them from my memory.

So can I get some help from my orgers? Help me remember what

movies touched me by telling me the ones that brought tears to your eyes!

Were there any movies that made you just all out sob?

xoxo

Carrie

I don't cry that much either with movies or in general (once a year if I even manage. A drop escapes occassionaly with a Disney film) and it may seem heartless to some but I know I'm very emotional I just don't want anyone to see me cry. When I do cry I have a headache that can last a whole day so no thanks

Movies I had to cry to were English patient and Terms of Endearment.

I hate any movie or anything on tv with kids or people being ill or eventually dying, crying guaranteed. Oh and funerals, if you want to kill me, send me to a funeral.
