All-time favorite "tear jerker" movie

<p>Terms of Endearment - the scene that knocks me for a loop is when Shirley M. slaps her grandson for mouthing off. I believe this is after Debra Winger is talking to her angry son for the last time and says something like, “I know you love me.” or something like that. Both are just devastating scenes.</p>

<p>Shawshank Redemption
Field of Dreams</p>

<p>MASK, the one with Cher. The Joy Luck Club</p>

<p>agree Terms of Endearment.</p>

<p>Also, and I hope this is not too gay-friendly for CC, but Brokeback Mountain is also a real tear jerker for me. This is a huge gay lesbian celebration weekend in San Francisco, and that movie is so sad when thinking about the lives those two men could have had if their sexuality were more accepted.</p>

<p>I watched She’s Having a Baby on cable shortly after my baby son died, the scene where Kevin Bacon gets pushed out of the delivery room gets me hysterical to this day. I sob all the way through to the minute he learns his son is okay.</p>

<p>I can’t believe no one has mentioned *Casablanca!
*
And in a different vein, I think Awakenings is about as sad as it can get.</p>

<p>Second the suggestion of Brokeback Mountain.</p>

<p>The Way We Were.</p>

<p>Just thinking about Brian’s Song can still make me tear up.</p>

<p>An Affair to Remember gets me every time. The Notebook and A Walk to Remember are amazing too. </p>

<p>In addition, my favorite chick flicks that aren’t tear jerkers are Music & Lyrics, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail. </p>

<p>Toy Story 3.</p>

<p>Love Story (well I am a sap)
Steel magnolias</p>

<p>I DID watch Marley and Me tonight and bawled my eyes out.</p>

<p>Jeez, you guys are gluttons for punishment. I try hard to not watch the tearjerkers as I am a basket case. </p>

<p>The last one I watched was ‘p.s. I love you’-- I can’t remember if the story was well done, but I loved the music.</p>

<p>I know that ‘Father of the Bride’ isn’t a tearjerker, but it makes me cry anyway. </p>

<p>I’ll also cry during Bambi, Lion King, Dumbo, Toy Story and UP. Also will cry at the drop of a Kodak commercial (do they make those anymore?)</p>

<p>Definitely Field of Dreams. I try to avoid animal movies they are too heartbreaking. I remember when I was young I was reading Charlotte’s Web in bed while my parents were having a dinner party. I was sobbing so loudly my mom had to come in and comfort me!</p>

<p>Some animated features that always make me tear up:
Up
The Lion King
Toy Story 3</p>

<p>And some non-animated:</p>

<p>The Bridges of Madison County
Schindler’s List
Blue (of the Three Colors trilogy)
and a number of relatively obscure foreign films…</p>

<p>Blow gets me every time, mainly because I was on a destructive path as a youth, and seeing what he put his parents through plus his daughter ignoring him kills me. Glad I am off of that track now.</p>

<p>I agree with Beaches…it’s got all the elements–best friends, cheating husband, cancer death, motherless child and a fabulous song.</p>

<p>Forgot to menition one animated movie that will make many of you cry:</p>

<p>[Grave</a> of the Fireflies (1988) - IMDb](<a href=“http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095327/]Grave”>Grave of the Fireflies (1988) - IMDb)</p>

<p>Love Actually
Sound of Music (the scene at the end where they’re crossing the mountaintop; yea, I know it’s not how it really happened)</p>
