The only Sophie's Choice I know of is the novel by William Styron. (Also here at the Wiki.) That's the book that the Meryl Streep movie is based on.

Okay, so a bunch of these have already been listed, but I am a huge sap and will cry at pretty much anything...

-Beaches (I love this movie and always cry at the end)
-Steel Magnolias
-City of Angels (no matter what, I bawl like a baby)
-My Life (I am such a sap I bought this movie because it's that good)
-Titanic
-The Notebook
-In Her Shoes (my sister & I are that close)
-Star Trek: Nemesis (yes, I am a nerd, but only the Star Trek fans may get this one)
-A Walk to Remember
-The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (when she goes to the dad's wedding)

As well as probably most Disney movies ever made. Like I said, I'm a big sap.

Ditto on the following movies:

Steel Magnolias, Beaches, Titanic & A Walk To Remember. No matter how many times I've seen these movies I always bawl my eyes out.

Totally with you on Nemesis, I know which part you are talking about and I cried like a big old baby. LOL.

Definately agree about the disney movies.


Hmm other movies that make me cry...

Black Hawk Down (mainly because the music composed by Hans Zimmer is amazing!)

LOTR:ROTK-I will admit that I cry at the end when Arwen shows up. Even now, when I know she's gonna show up. I again also blame it on the score. The score is beautiful.

GI Jane- (I know you guys are thinkg WTF), but at the end when he gives her the navy cross, I cry.

PiratesMC- the end when Jack dies. Again I blame it on Hans Zimmers score.


For me the music can make or break a scene. If the scene is good but the music adds an element, it just becomes more powerful. It's really the music that makes me cry because it adds to the scene that is just so amazing in the first place.

I'm not sure if that makes any sense, but oh well

Perfect sense. I cried at 3 diff. parts of Dreamgirls, EVERY time I saw it (something in the ballpark of 5). Not for the movie, WHICH WAS STILL EXCELLENT, but for the music. Several pieces from the movie just...it sounds cheesy, but the music can just caress your soul in such a way that you're drawn in...and it becomes a duet.

Yep. I actually cried a little when Jennifer Hudson sang And I Am Telling You...it was that powerful, and such a sad song. I don't think I've ever cried while watching a musical performance.
