<p>“I love Brian Piccolo” Just typing the words can make me cry. </p>

<p>Wow, great answers everyone!</p>
<p>I have so many choices to choose from when I want a good cry! 
Most of these I haven’t seen yet! I do like happy endings, though, ya know, “they lived happily ever after”…</p>
<p>A few to rent this summer!</p>
<p>YES to “Love Actually” - that one gets the waterworks going every time. Also agreeing with those who mentioned “Splendor in the Grass,” though that one makes me cry because it’s so disturbing and not so much for the thwarted love story. Just saw it again recently. What a magnificent performance from Natalie Wood.</p>
<p>An old one, one of my favorite movies ever - “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.” Elia Kazan’s first movie - couldn’t be more different from his “Splendor in the Grass.”</p>
<p>Oh my, how could I forget Brokeback Mountain. Just thinking about the scene with Ennis holding the shirts makes me tear up all over again!</p>
<p>Another vote for Splendor in the Grass. I saw that film about 40 years ago, and thinking about it now gives me chills. That last scene – oh, cry, cry, cry.</p>
<p>I can’t believe Splendor in the Grass is being mentioned. It’s ancient. I think I was in HS when I saw it. I’ll have to watch it again.</p>
<p>A favorite tear-jerker scene: [the</a> heart-breaking recitation of Funeral Blues](<a href=“Four Weddings and a Funeral - "Funeral Blues" - YouTube”>Four Weddings and a Funeral - "Funeral Blues" - YouTube) in Four Weddings and a Funeral.</p>
<p>SodiumFree, John Hannah’s recitation of the Auden poem is one of my favorite movie scenes. I love Four Weddings and a Funeral and watching it is an annual event for me with my 5 Ds.</p>
<p>ITA w/Brian’s Song (only time I’ve seen my big brother cry), Dumbo and Toy Story 3.</p>
<p>Let me put in another plug for Imitation of Life. It’s about race and class and a daughter who shuns her mother in an attempt to “pass.” Stars Lana Turner, John Gavin, Sandra Dee, Robert Alda and features a song by Mahalia Jackson. I teared up just reading the Wikipedia entry. But don’t read it unless you want to ruin the overwrought ending!</p>
<p>I do not know if you are interested in foreign movies, but the Chinese film “To Live” is an incredible tear-jerker.</p>
<p>Splendor in the Grass - love it!
(My HS valedictorian included verses from the Wordsworth poem into her speech almost forty years. The class of 50 young woman were inconsolable by the middle of the ceremony. Of course, I think we were all thinking of the unconsummated love between Natalie and Warren. It was like a scene form The Virgin Suicides! ;))</p>
<p>The Notebook.</p>
<p>Saw Splendor in the Grass just a couple of months ago. What a heartbreaker.</p>
<p>Super Soaker award…Dark Victory (Betty Davis)…sad,sad,sad.</p>
<p>Just saw The Time Traveler’s Wife on cable this weekend. It was pretty sad but no Dark Victory.</p>
<p>“Terms of Endearment” immediately comes to mind. The scene where Debra Winger is saying goodbye to her children, and she says to her younger son Teddy (played by an adorable Huckleberry Fox), “I think that went pretty well, don’t you?” And he just nods his head and shuts the door. Gets me every time!</p>
<p>Also, “Up.” The sequence of Carl & Ellie’s life, shown through the years with only the score and no dialogue, makes me almost hyperventilate. “Toy Story 3” when Andy’s mom enters his bedroom and sees everything packed up for college. With a son leaving soon, that really hits home with me. </p>
<p>“Steel Magnolias,” when Julia Robert’s husband comes home to find her collapsed and their son screaming. Yeouch.</p>
<p>Steel Magnolias - check
Brain’s Song (even the theme music makes me cry) - check
Terms of Endearment (mdye, you nailed it!) - check
Four weddings - love love love the Auden poem, but man it makes me cry - check</p>
<p>And one more stupid animal movie - “Homeward Bound,” where three pets get lost but eventually make it home. The last scence kills me every time…</p>
<p>“My Dog Skip” </p>
<p>My daughter and I were crying so hard at the end of the movie, that we couldn’t leave for about 10 minutes. They had to sweep around us.</p>
<p>^^ Oh, how could I forget “My Dog Skip”? We embarrassed ourselves in the movie theater over that one!</p>
