Tear-jerkers.

Novella · 22-09-2009 12:53pm #1

I am just watching Home & Away at the moment (I know, I know!) and Belle is dying. I am crying my eyes out!

Also, this scene from The Notebook never fails to make me cry :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS2BpORASX0

And from My Sister's Keeper :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTAwKaEMc3E

Cried throughout that whole movie actually!

So what are your ultimate tear-jerker moments?!

xcarriex · 22-09-2009 1:01pm

That scene in Beaches when C.C.Bloom brings Whitney back to the beach for the last time and the wind beneath my wings kicks in always makes me winge like a baba, and towards the end of the song when victoria is sitting on the chair alone...

Welling up i am!

minidazzler · 22-09-2009 1:04pm

I'm not a crier but the one's that make me wanna are

(500) Days of Summer.
The Notebook,
Gallipolli
Blood Diamond (I admit, I came close at that)
Once Upon a time in America.
The Green Mile.

Those are the ones that really do it for me. I feel terrible after watching them.

Jood · 22-09-2009 1:06pm

Steel Magnolias always does it for me!! I actually sobbed at Dirty Dancing at the weekend, it was just so sad watching it knowing Patrick Swayze is dead you'd swear I knew him or something!! Oh and I always always always cry at the xfactor, without fail every week

Dudess · 22-09-2009 1:07pm

When it comes to romantic movies: films where the protagonists are madly in love, but it seems they can't be together, tend to make me blub - Brief Encounter, Casablanca, Atonement, Brokeback Mountain, The End Of The Affair etc.

Oh yeah minidazzler - I watched Blood Diamond recently. The part with the child soldiers was horribly upsetting - I had to turn it off. And yep, Gallipolli - that's awfully sad too.

Marley and Me, when the little boy is saying goodbye to Marley and again when Owen Wilson is with him at the end and tells him he's a great dog..........I was bawling and I never cry at movies.

& then i go & start crying & 1 of the boys noticed & laughed at me & then everyone laughed at me

trustno1 · 22-09-2009 1:35pm

Marley and me - can't believe I paid good money to get so upset
Sophies Choice - when she has to make her 'choice' OMG
Black Beauty - The end of this gets me everytime
When Harry met Sally - again the ending
Con Air - I know, I know - but when he hands that manky rabbit over to his daughter..

I'm pathetic!!!..

Dudess · 22-09-2009 1:44pm

PCPhoto, the book on which that film Simon Birch is partially based, A Prayer For Owen Meaney (by John Irving) is extremely sad.

Allison91 · 22-09-2009 1:48pm

I don't usually cry watching movies or televison..but I'll cry a lot if something bad happens/someone dies.

Refusing to watch this.

Anyone ever watch Band of Brothers? The last episode of that had me in bits too but not a really sad sad, more a happy sad... if that makes sense.

Fantastic. Would love to watch it again.

I would add Galipole [sp?] to my list.

nearly_there · 22-09-2009 1:59pm

Home and away makes me cry all the time!

And after i watched Marley and me i had to stay in the cinema for ages after so the red swollen face would go away and has SUCH a headache. Im such a sucker.

I definitely wont be watching Home and Away tonight or tomorrow night, I know il cry and be depressed over it for hours afterwards. I know shes dies so I dont need to know anymore.
Also warning, the funeral is on tomorrow which will be really sad also

I love Home and Away but just hate watching characters die

The Big Red Button · 22-09-2009 2:46pm

It's funny, I can usually sit through all the real tear-jerker films - Titanic, Ghost, The Notebook, Marley and Me, even My Sisters Keeper ... without actually crying. Although my eyes do occasionally get just the leeeettlest bit damp!

But then sometimes I'll be randomly sitting watching TV, and something vaguely unhappy or emotional happens on Friends or Xfactor or whatever - and it'll totally set me off! Once I cried during Shrek when Donkey rejected the dragon - the shame!

Weirdly enough, this only tends to happy at a certain time of the month ... hmm ...

Nervous Wreck · 22-09-2009 3:01pm

K, this is a bit weird but, when I was a kid, I always cried at the end of A League Of Their Own. I cried cos I always thought Geena Davis was gorgeous and at the end of the movie, it's like 20 years later and they're all old women remembering the good old days. I cried because 20 years later, all the pretty girls weren't pretty anymore. Time had just eaten away and now they were just gross and old..... I was a strange kid. :rolleyes:

Oh, her and Aidan look at pictures of the two of them together, bah, I was a mess, almost cried for the whole episode! I definitely advise staying away!

starflake · 22-09-2009 3:43pm

''out of Africa'' with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford at the end when she's talking about her life without him and the lions are lying on his grave! So sad!

I didn't cry. I thought the Notebook was the biggest pile of poo I've ever seen and I'm a romantic sap. I really don't get so many women's fascination with that film at all.

Dudess · 22-09-2009 4:28pm

Yeah, my friend insisted I watch The Notebook, saying she knows I'm not into soppy movies/chick flix but she isn't either, and it still affected her profoundly.
Meh, it's all right. There are certainly zillions of far worse romantic movies, but no, I'd say the romantic movie that affects me most is actually Brokeback Mountain. I was so gutted by the ending...

My favourite part of The Notebook is the sex scene - the guy is fairly smokin' in it, to be fair.

Great sex scene it is!

I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing. ". Another one of my favourites! :pac:

Pherekydes · 22-09-2009 5:03pm

I cried after Alexander: the b**tards wouldn't give me my money back. :mad:

LadyMayBelle · 22-09-2009 5:45pm

'The Notebook'; I have only seen it twice and never watched the last few scenes after the first time...made to cry buckets!

'My Girl'...now that was my first tear-jerker movie and I still get a bit bleary eyed!

Anything on 'XFactor' where the person is an underdog and the crowd go wild, why me! Brought on by PMS but really anytime!

I actually cried watching 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' which is my favourite movie. It struck a cord in me watching it in the cinema with my boyfriend to be...

Forrest Gump too..Mine are quite cliched but sometimes I cry at odd love stories...

God yea, especially the Bicycle Thief. I'd add once upon a time in america too.

Kes is a heartbreaker, when this child finds his only outlet, his only friend his hawk dead at the hands of his brother IIRC in the bin. I wouldn't be right after that one. If you're dry eyed after that, you're clinically dead. they could use it in medicine to establish death.

The elephant man is another one for me. The bit at the end where he dies, because he wanted to sleep like an ordinary child with his head on the pillow and he suffocates. Jesus the tears go horizontal on that one. Tarka the otter was another one that got me as a kid.

Telly stuff rarely enough, though a wierd one for me was watching an episode of Dr Who where his girly companion(billie piper) was trapped on another world and he had to leave her behind. She breaks down not just because he's leaving, but that he would be alone. Then she admits she loves him, but just before he admits the same the connection is dropped and it cuts to him with tears running down his face. I wasn't far behind him

Though I'd be fairly miffed to leave ms piper myself:D

Dudess · 22-09-2009 6:12pm

Oh Jesus... Kes and The Elephant Man - no way can I watch them again!

Little Acorn · 22-09-2009 6:15pm

My friend showed me this clip,and it always makes me cry;
It's the true story of a lion cub named Christian,that was raised as a cub by 2 people,but had to be released into the wild in Africa when he got older.
They went to find him,but were told that it would be too dangerous,and that he wouldn't remember them. This is their reunion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiGKWoJi5qM

Here's another clip from the actual programme(minus Whitney:)).

In this you actually get to see them meeting his family!

Kimmy-XxX · 22-09-2009 6:30pm

One word... Titanic! I know it's cheesy but oh my god, it just breaks my heart. I'm another for the notebook too.. "It wasn't over... It still isn't over!!.." Sob! Also, the last episode of Sex and the City gets me over and over again: when smith flies back, when charlotte gets her baby, when big turns up in paris, but mostly when she comes back to ny and they all scream and the song kicks in... amazing.! Also, Remember the Titans.. made a right egit out of myself watching that one with my boyf and his friends!:rolleyes:

Remember the Titans is fantastic, and I guarantee you they had moist eyes themselves, I never cry, but I do tear up a bit at movies. Especially if their true:D

Titanic and SATC Suck though I love Leonardo di Caprio and Kate Winslet, that is not a good film, IMO.

Romeo and Juliet, the Claire Danes and Leonardo di Caprio version gets me bad!!! Such a tragic film.

JP Liz · 22-09-2009 6:35pm

Belle's death in H&A was very sad i had tears

I also got teary eyed at

The Champ
Titanic
The Notebook
A Walk To Remember
Sommersby

Oh yeah, the end of Cruel Intentions (a modern take on Dangerous Liaisons) is quite moving.

You mentioned Terms of Endearment - there seemed to be a significant number of family-themed tear-jerker movies like that cleaning up at the Oscars in the early 80s, e.g. Kramer vs Kramer, On Golden Pond... and seriously sad - Ordinary People.

Little Acorn · 22-09-2009 6:52pm

Titanic always makes me bawl, I haven't seen the notebook yet so must give it a look.
Other films that make me cry:

Meet Joe Black

Ghost

The Green Mile

The Pianist and Schindler's List

The Land before Time (when Littlefoot's mum dies)

Armageddon

ET

Cruel Intentions(the end)

Stepmom

I'm sure there's loads more that I can't think of.

I think it's amazing the amount of love and loyalty animals can have for humans.
I think this clip makes me cry,because someone very close to me had their dog stolen a few years ago, and I really believe that if he was ever found again,that the reception would be similar.
Think it's a heartwarming clip,

I will have a look out for the one about the wolf. :-)
