Movies that make you cry

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.

Little Miss Sunshine when the brother/son finds out he's color-blind.

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

Ok, for those of you who remember Designing Women (prior to Delta Burke leaving), this episode is a classic. It's when Suzanne hosts a child in the process of an adoption. She becomes emotionally attached to the little girl and has a difficult time letting go. I cry at this part EVERY TIME. The episode is called Oh Suzannah.



[The quote from the pillow given to Suzanne by her grandmother:]
Dear Little One,
I wish two things;
To give you roots.
To give you wings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Julia confronts, and then comforts, a very tearful Suzanne who doesn't want to give up Li Sing.]
Suzanne: Well I sure made a mess of things this time, didn't I?
Julia: Not yet. In a few more hours they'll be talking kidnapping.
Suzanne: I wish I'd never met her. She thinks I'm wonderful. She even loves my cooking.
Julia: You don't cook.
Suzanne: Well, I know that, but she doesn't! Li Sing's the first person who's ever loved me just for me.
Julia: She's not the first. She's the third.
Suzanne: What? you mean my ex-husbands?
Julia: No, silly. Mother and me. We love you just for you.
Suzanne: Yeah, but you don't think I can do anything.
Julia: That's not true. I just said I didn't think you were cut out to be a mother.
Suzanne: You mean unlike the four billion other women on Earth? Thanks a lot.
Julia: But you do something nobody else can do.
Suzanne: What?
Julia: I don't know what it is.....exactly.....that you do. I just know nobody else is doing it, or can do it, like you do. You giving away your pillow?
Suzanne: Yeah. I wanted Li Sing to have it.
Julia: I think Grandma would like that. I remember when she made these for us. Roots and Wings. We sure got our share didn't we? Suzanne, I'm going to say something pretty harsh, but I'm saying it because I love you. Just once in your life, don't put yourself first.
Suzanne: I'm not, Julia. I'm thinking of Li Sing.
Julia: No, you're not. You're not thinking at all. You know, in your heart, that she's better off with this couple. If you love her, like you say you do, give her wings.
Suzanne: I just didn't expect to fall in love with her. I know, you're right. I know. Ok, I'll do it.
[Julia takes Suzanne's hand and starts to cry herself.]
Julia: I'm so happy for you.
Suzanne: Why?
Julia: Because, now. . . you know what it feels like to be a mother.
