Last night I watched Radio with Cuba Gooding, Jr. Excellent movie. I cried on 2 different scenes. I was not broke down John Q crying but crying nonetheless. :(

I dont ususally post but I had to on this one

Imitation of Life--- Like everyone else the funeral scene ALWAYS makes me cry.

Steel Magnolia--- When Malynn (sp?) is crying at the funeral. That scene is so real to me.

Antwone Fisher--- When he recites the poem "Who will cry for the little boy" That one touches me all the time too.

This is my all-time favorite! And then Sara Jane at the end going "Mama. . . mama. . . I'm sorry mama!!!

There's another version of this movie that I have seen and want to get - it varies a little but I'm sure it's a tearjerker too!

I have a new tearjerker to add:

Far From Heaven--I got the boo hoo's when Julianne Moore gets to the train station to say goodbye to Dennis Haysbert (my other Hubby) and she gets there just as the train pulls off. He sees her and he just looks at her and tips his hat and he is crying. I was too through!!!

I cry off just about anything, but I recently saw Mystic River, and that was pretty sad.

One movie I didn't see listed here was Monster's Ball - I cried through almost that whole thing.

I cry off Shawshank Redemption when he finally becomes free and then Morgan Freeman meets him at the end - that's my cult movie.

One movie I will never watch again is Schindler's List - it was just too much for me.

Lets just say that I was "overwhelmed" when I went to the movies to see "Rosewood" and they killed Esther Rolle's character. It just showed the hatred of the time and it makes you realize the struggle that our people have gone through and if that don't get you "overwhelmed" I don't know what will..

Here are some movies on which I have shed a tear or two:

1)The Green Mile
2)Soul Food
3)A Walk to Remember (with Mandy Moore, where she had leukemia)
4)Steel Magnolias
5)Glory
6)Eyes on the Prize
7)Jesus of Nazareth (I think that's the name of the movie; I always cry when I see any portrayal of what Jesus has done for all of us)
8)Holiday Heart

Okay, that's enough. I'm sure I've gotten a little misty on some other movies, but anyway.... :)

Imitation of Life
 
I don't know if many people have saw this movie but when I was about 15 I fell in love with "Imitation of Life". If your old school I'm sure you would know about this movie.

Everytime I see the daughter cry for her mother after she dies from heart break. The daughter was so curel but when the mother died the daughter realized what impact she made on her mother. I cry just about everytime I see the movie.

If anyone misses this movie you can only get it at Blockbuster.

My boo-hoo movies are as follows:

Armaggedon (the part when Bruce Willis' character says "I won't be coming back Gracie")

Imitation of Life...need I say more

Malcom X

The Other Sister (the part when the "other" sister got married)

The Lion King (when Mufasa died)

A Time to Kill (I left the movie because I couldn't see through the tears)

Charlotte's Web (when Charlotte died)

Roots

Glory (when Denzel got whipped)

1. Steel Magnolias ( I cry every time I see this movie...it's one of my all time favorites)
2. The Story of Us

4. Soul Food (When Big Mama died)
5. Step Mom

Yeah, Mufasa's death always gets me too. I'm sitting looking at the tv like "NOOOOOOOOO....run Mufasa!!!" Then when Simba is crying and stuff, I am still all emotional. When Scar comes and tells him it's his fault I'm through dealing, and I want to say "NO Simba...go home, you didn't do anything!" Then I cry at the end of the movie.

I LOOOOOOVE The Lion King! :D

1sd 02-27-2004 07:43 PM

Oh I have another one, I don't know whether I posted this earlier or not. Sweet November with Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves is a tearjerker. I love that movie! There's also another one, similar to that one with Richard Gere, but I can't remember the name of it.

nikki1920 02-27-2004 07:57 PM

I thought I was the only person who cried when Charlotte dies. I found it on tape and boo hoo'd again when she said, "mother earth...and faa...ther... time". My daughter was like, "Why are you crying, Mommy?" lol
