Movies that make you cry

It takes a lot to make me cry during a movie. I remember one movie that made me lose it completely. It was a movie was on ABC Family over a year ago. It was called "If Only" with Jennifer Love Hewitt. It could have been because I was really sick that week, but that ending was more than I could handle. It makes me think of the movie "Premonition". The boyfriend in "If Only" kept having visions that Jennifer was going to be killed in a car accident. He knew the exact moment and place it was going to happen, so he tried to spend as much time with her as possible. When the accident is about to happen, he protects her from the oncoming car...scene ends. The next scene is in the hospital and you realize that the boyfriend was killed and Jennifer was safe. When I saw that, I cried so hard and I had the flu, so I looked like a mess!

I don't really cry. More like I get teary-eyed. Usually really good indie flicks get me there. I was also watching Titanic (for the gazillionth time) and I sniffled a little. But only because Leo dies. The last part of Gladiator is also kind of sad (where he is dying and sees the fields from his home).

That reminds me a lot of the movie they have around Christmas called "Three Days." It has Tim Meadows as an angel, and Kristin Davis is the main lead. She is killed on Christmas Eve while rescuing a dog. The husband gets to relive the last three days she's alive. But he cannot rescue her by normal means. He has three days to figure out the gift that will save her life. You can guess how that ends. Yup, cried at that one.

An Affair to Remember didn't do anything for me though. I got the point of the movie, but...
