Spin-off: What movies have made you boo hoo?

[darklinensuit]

I'm not much for crying, but these have made me at least tear up:

- Old Yeller

[GardenStateGirlie]

-The Hours
-Beaches
-Steal Magnolias
-Bambi
-Fievel (when "somewhere out there" starts to play, i'm a goner)
-All Dogs Go To Heaven

I've gotten tears in my eyes during all of these but not outright cried until I saw The Hours and I just sat there when it was over and cried for a bit.

[DeadliestPoison]

Requiem For A Dream.

Every. Time. Once the Winter title card comes down, the tears start to come. So sad.

I want to see Slingblade.
As I've said before, IAWL has never done anything for me but as a yawn inspirer. I think maybe it's because I never saw it as a child, perhaps. And that my heart is the size of a snow pea.

I think this is an important and great movie, but I had to see it more than once before it really reached me. Spielberg doesn't make it a very intimate portrait like Playing For Time, for example(following one character), and I think that's why.

Thought of two more:
Ordinary People choked me up when I first saw it, and so did that telemovie Adam about John Walsh's kidnapped son. My brother's name is Adam.

- Jake

[jadegypsy]

I normally don't cry at movies at all so:

Forest Gump (EVERY time I see this movie I cry when Jenny dies, it just kills me that Forest finally gets her and then she dies:(

The Fox and the Hound

Titanic (seeing all those frozen people really did it for me)

Beaches

Oh as a sidenote Where the Red Fern Grows is one of only two books that ever made me cry, the other was The Forest House.

Because the movie was so cold and detached, it was more powerful than any other Holocaust film ever made. It was like a documentary. However, I think it would have been even more affecting if Spielberg had canned the maudlin music at certain points.

The scene with the child running away and looking for a palce to hide was another one that tore out my heart. I couldn't put myself through more than one viewing of that movie.

On another note, we should start a thread of movies that were meant to be tearjerkers but became laughable instead. :laugh:

"For Otto Titsling had found his quest, to lift and mold the female breast! To point the small ones to the sky, to keep the big ones high and dry!"

My other faves from that movie are Oh Industry, I Think It's Going To Rain Today, and I've Got My Health. Great songs, man. :nod:

Errgg..I had another one in my head and lost it after reading a whole bunch of other movie titles...oh well :rolleyes:

Also I tried to watch Requiem for a Dream but it depressed the hell outta me!!! I couldn'te believe how depressing the tone of that movie is...but everyone LOVES it!! I do admit that I didn't even finish it because I was already super depressed and I knew things were going to get no better....but anyway...it depressed me beyond belief but did not make me cry...

Good thing you didn't finish it because the last twenty minutes were torturous. I swear, I needed Prozac and a valium when it was over. The final twenty minutes are so excruciating, depressing, and brutal that it's no wonder the film got an NC-17 upon submission to the MPAA. If anyone wants to see the definition of intense, see that flick.

And, to thsoe that saw it, don't you think Ellen Burstyn should have won the Oscar that year, and not La Smile? She was so amazing that I can't put it into words.

Not only did my jaw drop at that part, but it dropped when I saw the size of the thing. That sucker was the economy size. :laugh:

And when Burstyn was getting the shocks? The geysers just erupted from my eyes.

Well, I own the NC-17/Director's Cut version on DVD, and it's not *too* different than the R-rated version. Just a little bit more stuff involving Marion at the end when everything's going to hell. It's still incredibly intense, though.

Ellen definately should have won, if not only for her monologue about her getting older. That and the Electroshock Therapy. Sheebus.

But God, I love that movie. Love, love, love. The book's pretty good, too.

[skcin]

Terms of Endearment (EVERY time I watch it, esp when that little kid starts bawling)

Stepmom (when she gives her kids those gifts to say goodbye)

The Patriot (I started SOBBING loudly in my HOUSE watching the video - when the little girl wouldn't talk & suddenly, when her dad is about to leave, she gasps "PAPA!" WWWAAAAAAAAAHH!)

Paula

[wondergirl9847]

I saw The Passion today. I was a mess afterwards.

Independence Day (the scene where Randy Quaid blows the alien ship up....the fact he killed himself for his kids and the world...yep, I had tears. It's a very patriotic movie.)

Free Willy (Yes, I had tears when Willy got free, dangit. LOL)

Fox and the Hound gets me too.

Deep Impact (This one came out before Armaggedon, and I WEPT when the astronauts were saying goodbye to their families. This one hit me hard.)

Thought of a few more:

Wit (TV movie with Emma Thompson)
Sophie's Choice
Saving Private Ryan (Several times, mostly when Giovanni Ribisi's character is dying and he says "I want my mama") :(
Armageddon (when Liv Tyler and Bruce Willis say goodbye)

[golden braid]

Ellen Burstyn so should have won the Oscar. :mad:

The book was fantastic and I love Selby's work (especially "Last Exit To Brooklyn"), but at times I thought he got a bit lazy while writing it. Oh well, it's still great. :laugh:

That monologue was the best part of the movie for me, actually.

As for the Director's Cut, I think it's better than the R-rated cut because the extremely graphic imagery was what made it so powerful.

PS: How did you like the the feature with Burstyn interviewing Selby on the DVD? I loved it!

Yep...I cried during that one...well actually it really made me teary, but the only part I actually out-right bawled at was when Jesus falls for the first time I think..and Mary has the flashback of him as a little boy falling....that got me big time....the rest was just intense...


City of Angels...
Fried Green Tomatoes
A League of Their Own (that scene where Betty finds out her husband was killed in the war...gets me every time!!)

[Carolina Girl]

Funny coincidence, this thread. On Saturday I watched three movies and cried so much that my eyes were swollen on Sunday morning!

I watched

Sleeping with the Enemy (some tears, not a lot)
Paradise (I've seen this several times and cry a LOT every time)
A Walk on the Moon (not supposed to be a tear jerker, but for me it was)

[dissention]

Originally posted by Carolina Girl

Great movie. That scene in the attic with Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith was heartbreaking. :nod:

[Janet]

I love boohoo movies.

Shadowlands- when Anthony Hopkins and the little boy start crying in the attic after she dies...

Terms of Endearment-like someone said, when the little boy starts crying and when the little girl in the end jumps around saying " daddy..daddy"

Sommersby-I saw this a long time ago and it's really sad but I don't remember why. My mom says she never saw me cry so hard at the movies

Little Women ( when Beth dies)- Claire Danes is amazing.

Steel Magnolias- When Sally Field goes to get Shelby's baby and he walks to her, no clue that his mommy just died..and later when Sally has a crying fit and she says " that baby will never know how great his mommy was " or something like that..

Stepmom- yeah gets me too..that same scene.

Seabiscuit-when the guy pulls back and lets Seabiscuit look in his eyes...cried my eyes out.

Also, on tv...the last scene of season 8 of the X Files...when they are holding their baby and he kisses her...my God, every single time!!

[Mad4stevie]

Steel Magnolias - the ending is just heart-wrenching at the grave site. Sally Field does an excellent job. This movie also has one of my most favorite emotions - laughter thru tears. At the end, Sally Field says she is "so angry that she wants to hit something" and Olympia Dukakis grabs Shirley Maclaine and pushes her in front of Sally Field and says, "here, hit this!!".

Message in a Bottle - I cannot believe that any of the romantics on this board wouldn't mention this! I cry my eyes out every time! I would love to see a movie of another book of Nicholas Sparks' , The Notebook. Has anyone read it?

One True Thing - another cry my eyes out movie. Renee Zellweger and Meryl Streep are incredible in this movie. Highly recommended.

I really thought i'd love it but it was just not what I expected at all. It's very colorful and the costumes are pretty amazing but other than that? A good 45 minutes could be cut out of the movie. Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more and stayed awake had it been shorter. It just keeps dragging out.

Me? What about you? That's $4 dollars to put towards the mirror you're going to end up having to pay for and I know money is tight right now for you after you splurged on the gold teeth ;) :wavey:

A close friend is a curator in Baltimore. She researched them for an exhibit. Do you know they have their own museum? Like the Parade isn't dull enough, not you get to see them WITHOUT movement!:rolleyes:

When I was in 2nd grade we took a trip to the Museum of Natural Science and we were all bored to tears. We didn't want to stand and read everything that went along with the exhibits...we just wanted to run around and play. Well, I suggest no school EVER take students to see the mumers museum. And I thought the Museum of Natural Science was boring...hell, that would be a serious snooze fest :nod:

Well, seeing as my mirror on my drivers side is set up so that I see the road and not myself, I won't be having that problem. Maybe that's why you've gotten into like, 5 accidents in the past few years ;) :wavey:

The University Museum had the Egyptian mummies when I was in 3rd grade. (Yes, they were already long dea, thankyouverymuch.)
That was cool. Also the hear you walk through at the Franklin Institute. Ever been there?

Ahem, that's TWO accidents. Shouldn't be hard to remember. One for each of your brain cells.

I LOVE the Franklin Institute. That was another class trip. I've been there several times...it never gets old. They just remodeled the planetarium in the past year. I always loved going to the IMAX films (i'm a nerd for that kind of thing). One thing I never got to see there was the laser light show set to either Pink Floyd, Nirvana, etc. Now they don't do it anymore...at least not to my knowledge.

I've been to IMAX down here a few times, mostly with the kids. Last year we went to the premiere of Cameron's Titanic documentary. That day one of my students was able to ask Cameron a question (she was one of about ten selected from around the country) about the film (we were all linked up via satellite or something), and it later aired on Disney with the kids' questions, I hear. I'm sure the kids will remember that.
My favorite was at my old job, one of my colleagues had a very "distracted" student. After watching a recreation of the battle of the Alamo at the Imax (in the context of a full year of Texas history lessons), the child shouted out to the crowded theater "Did we win?" As they say down here, Bless his heart.

At the one down near you, do they do the whole opening like they do up here before they show the film? You know, when they do a fly over of Philadelphia (only down there i'm sure it would be of Houston...obviously). Maybe that's just a Franklin Institute thing.

A few years ago I was in a production of Annie Get Your Gun. We went to a special student presentation that included a question and answer session with the cast in New York City. Out of everyone there that day, my question was chosen and answered by Bernadette Peters....I nearly had a heart attack sitting in my chair :nod:

"Did we win?" :laugh: :laugh:

Two more--Titanic--I know, it's not the best movie in the world, but it did make me cry. And. . .how could I forget The Way We Were?

That movie is on ABC right now....and ITA. When I first saw it, the part where Michael Jeter dies...OMG....I had tears. They didn't show it just now because it's too graphic, but OMG...just.....:distress:
