-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.

I have to add the remake of The Parent Trap with Lindsey Lohan. I get a little misty-eyed when Hallie, who is pretending to be Annie, see's her mom for the first time. The other time I get misty eyed is when Jessie, figures out that Annie, who is pretending to be Hallie, is Annie and starts to cry. It's sweet.

Almost forgot, when the girls are at camp and figure out they are sisters/twins

Man, I was listening to that on my mp3 player and cried like a baby in the middle of the Honda dealership. I think it was hormones or something.

Yeah, I got a little choked up when she sees her and runs into her arms. I didn't cry but who couldn't be touched when everything goes all slow motion-y?

Okay this is one of my all-time favourite movies and my boyf wanted to shoot me on Sunday because I insisted on watching the camp portion of it. Lindsay Lohan was SO cute!

World Trade Center: The scene when the Marine finds Jimeno and McLaughlin (however his last name is spelled), and he says "you are our mission". I just always cry, like happy tears. Even though you know they are okay, it's like 'yeah'.

United 93: basically cried through the entire movie.

Pearl Harbor: When Danny dies and Rafe tells him he's going to be dad. I'm like "tears"

Superman Returns: The end when Clark is saying the whole "the father is the son is the father" thing to his son. Again "tears".

Legends of the Fall gets me EVERYTIME! The one part that hits me the most is when Tristan (Brad Pitt's character) goes to Samuel's grave and sits there crying over him. It's almost like I can actually FEEL his pain.

And a movie that hasn't been mentioned...Wit with Emma Thompson (there is a play version starring Judith Light). Basically Emma plays a college professor who is diagnosed with terminal cancer and it follows her journey to the very end. I watched it with my boyfriend and he sat there crying his eyes out at the end...and he NEVER cries.

We can never watch movies or tv shows together, ever. It would just be pathetic.
