Kathryn Report post Posted November 24, 2007 I spent a pleasant afternoon watching ET with my son who has never seen it. I remember the first time - I was 18 ish(?) and was too emabarrassed to leave the cinema - had to sit there for ages till everyone had gone - my mascara was running.. I don't cry easily in films and a lot of films may move me once only but not when I see them again. But I've seen ET several times since and every time, despite bracing myself, I have the same reaction! That parting scene at the end. Those kids are so convincing. I do so love a good cry - for all the right reasons. So - what film gets you going? K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frangipani Report post Posted November 25, 2007 I would have to say "Notting Hill" with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts This one does me in everytime especially the part where Julia confesses her feelings, almost has me in tears just typing this. Have a lump in my throat, oh thanks Kathryn <'> I love this film. and...... Forrest Gump. When the little girl Jenny tells him to run.... Titanic...... when Jack dies Oh Kathryn now I want to watch them again But then also 'Its a wonderful life', Ghost, and Fried Green tomatoes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarenT Report post Posted November 25, 2007 But then also 'Its a wonderful life', Oh, you've just reminded me, it's nearly time to watch it again!! I'll have to choose an afternoon when everyone else is out so I can bawl in peace. "Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!!" "Zuzu's petals!!" Oh, God, I'm off already!! Oh, and Shawshank, every single time Karen x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I weep for all the good scripts that finish up in wastepaper bins because commercial C**p like that makes more money.... Baddad how could you.....it's one of the best films ever!!! Well the film i can have a good cry over is Indecent Proposal, whether i watch it from the beginning or find it on the tv and watch half way thru it still makes me blub. It is at the same point every time.....when Billy Conelly is auctioning of animals and woody Harrelson buys Demi the hippos, gets me every time. Then just as i sort myself out the end gets me when they are on the pier, i don't just blub, i sob. Everytime i am at this point hubby dissappears and comes back with some tissues Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oxgirl Report post Posted November 25, 2007 Forrest Gump, without a doubt. I sob all the way through that film. And, As Good as it Gets, I love that film too. ~ Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bard Report post Posted November 25, 2007 oh i have to say Titanic It just so sad B got very upset about that one, not the people mind, but the antique car that went down with the ship. He even researched the model, and drew a sketch of it. Put his hands over his eyes at the kissing etc, too gross to watch! I think that's boy rather than AS though!

JsMum Report post Posted November 25, 2007 I like weepy movies, the lastest one was Miss Potter, when she found our her boyfriend had died, that really upset me, wierd ending though???? An old film around the same time as ET is Who will love my Children. A women with 10 children and she has to give them new homes before she dies, one with Epilepsy gets left till last but he does find a new home with his brother, lovely ending, but very emotional. Lots of films make me cry, even adverts! Disneyfilms get me the most I cried in the Last Minsey. What makes me really laugh though is Jim Carey, also Tom Hanks when he was in BIG.

Mumble Report post Posted November 25, 2007 oh i have to say Titanic It just so sad This was one of the biggie moments for me when I realised I was so different from others. It came out soon after I'd started my u/grad degree and the whole wing of my hall, who were all teacher trainees, went to see it. I didn't find it upsetting at all - I never have found films upsetting - and it led to all sorts of comments being made about me. Saying that, my sister got me 'I am Sam' for my birthday this year - that did make me cry, and it felt really wierd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiley Report post Posted November 25, 2007 A couple have made me well up when i first watched them. Kind of depends on the mood you're in at the time too though.. Pay it forward, The pursuit of happiness, Serendipity, Forest Gump ('coz he's soooo like M! ), I am sam........ ET - for very different reasons - it was on telly when i was around 11/12 years old, and i was all on my own for xmas day that year . I still can't bear to watch it now. I've never watched It's a wonderful life - or The sound of music! We didn't watch much telly when i was ickle - now, when those films come on i get 'Eugh - turn it over, i've seen it a thousand times!' ............ hence why i always miss it!

Clare63 Report post Posted November 25, 2007 OMG.....I cry at so many things and find books and films really good for making me weep Before I opened the thread I'd thought of ET, Forrest Gump, Titanic, Its a wonderful life, Beaches etc etc ., Westside Story another good one and Ghost there are so many, I look forward to reading the rest of the list so I can go "Ooooh yes that's a good one" Clare x x x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathryn Report post Posted November 26, 2007 Ghost, definitely. And its British equivalent (but vastly superior, in my opinion), Truly Madly Deeply. It's the cello music I think - and Juliet Stevenson's amazing performance. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearl Report post Posted November 26, 2007 Ooh yes, Truly Madly Deeply gets to me too. The bit when he's describing the memorial bench for the little child in the park, & how the parents hug their children more tightly when they read the plaque...

oxgirl Report post Posted November 26, 2007 Cagney and Lacey is a real tear-jerker, I often cry at those repeats!! Also, Scrubs can be really touching, really funny and then suddenly very emotional. Especially the one where all the transplant patients die of rabies and Cox smashes up the machines, I find that scene so moving (*sniff*). Oh yeah, and I get really upset when Dr. McCoy has a go at Spock too!! ~ Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
