I don't have one either.

I get teary eyed every time I watch "Brian's Song". Even the music will bring a tear to my eyes.

But, ugly cry? Nope. I don't do that.

I'm with VoR. Beaches. Just hearing Wind Beneath My Wings makes me cry.

Yep. It's mine too. It just tugs at all the heart strings. And I don't know why it bothers me so much - I don't have close relationships with women. I have friends, but none that are in the "inner sanctum" so to speak.

Love Steel Magnolias, Beaches is great (perhaps I will pop in the DVD later) Love actually, DD's dance recitals from when she was a toddler.

The Bridges of Madison County and An Affair to Remember and Love Affair. In the latter movies I cry when he figures out why she didn't meet him.

The Man in the Moon. It was Reese Witherspoon's first movie. I SOBBED and I was on a date. He was like "don't worry about it, I was tearing up myself".

YES! That's the sweetest scene!

That one, Steel Magnolias, Forrest Gump (don't judge me), Beaches (although I've only seen it once), Ghost, The Joy Luck Club.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

The first time I watched Titanic I started crying the second it came on and it was panning all the people getting on the ship. I kept thinking "they're all going to die!"

Beaches made me cry too.

And My Girl. When the little boy dies, oh goodness. Just let me be with my crying.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I will NEVER watch Titanic again. I couldn't stop crying for 2 hours after the movie ended - knowing all that really happened was terrible. Please give me fiction.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

That was me too. Yes the story was nice and all, but the truth of it all is sadder and bigger than movie.

I will ugly cry at just about anything

Renegade Time Lord · Am I A Good Man?

While I do shed tears, I do not ugly cry. A couple of movies I have shed tears at are "Mask", when the Mom finds her son dead in his room, and the scene at his grave. I have also shed tears watching "Fly Away Home".

I don't watch many movies. Not a movie person here.

I don't think that is the case. I think they were trying to really get what happened across and I think they did it well. I just think they did it too well.

I burst into tears when we went to see Grand Torino. When Clint got shot and he fell to the ground and the lighter rolled out of his hand I lost it. I was still crying when we were driving away from the theater.

When DH and I watched the end of Toy Story 3, he handed me a Kleenex, then got one for himself.

I've cried at just about every movie on here. But I cry pretty easy. It had to make me sob to be an ugly cry movie.

I'm trying to remember if I have ever sobbed at a movie.

I will say that I've listened to books on CD that have made me cry...usually while driving on the interstate!

The Champ..... when the dad dies..... I cried in the theatre, and all the way home. The Green Beret.... just saying that makes me cry. True Grit. The Fly, with Jeff Goldbloom ? when he turned into the fly computer creature, and made her point the gun at him.... I cried.

I was going to say "The Champ" too. When little Ricky Schroeder starts calling out CHAMP, I sob.

Old Yeller

Schindler's List. I silently cried during the entire movie. But at the end, when the survivors put stones on Oskar's grave in Israel, I lost it.

Toy Story 3. When the toys hold each other's hands...When Andy leaves....

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

The last Night at the Museum made me cry.

Spoiler alert

Spoiler: the monkey dies

And I cried like a baby.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Up made me cry.

And the movie 9.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

The bodies floating in the water in the movie Titanic was on point. That really happened. If you read accounts from survivors they talk about the bodies floating and how the few boats that went back for survivors had to move the bodies to get through. That wasn't a manipulation. That was a historic reality. If they hadn't shown it, to me, it would have been a paper movie and had no credibility at all.

The love story was the hook. It got people to watch. It made it human to those of us who didn't live during that time.

Vette · Owl drink to that!

The book Where The Red Fern Grows made me cry so bad that I'm scared to watch the movie

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Ohhhhhh...Shiner's List for sure! Good call on that one. I cried when the girl in the red coat was on. I cried at the end too. I cried a whole lot.

And Up also. That movie gets me too.

You know what they say about UP...Pixar tells a better love story in 9minutes then Stephanier Meyer does in 3 books! Lol

Or 4 books or however many there are.

I know it happened, but the director chose the amount of screen time to devote to it. That's the manipulation aspect.

And I also know why the love story was included...I just didn't care.

Benjamin Button was 3 hours long. I think I cried from the agony of sitting through it.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Benjamin Button was painful to watch. I couldn't get into it at all.

Another was the Notebook. I just couldn't get into it. I did cry at the end though when I realized it was about a woman with Alzheimer's. Not because of the movie but because I know how devastating the disease is.

Powder was ok.

I loved Titanic. I was in Middle School when it came out and my friends and I went and saw it in theaters multiple times. It was the first movie we watched where we didn't feel too cool to cry.

The Blindside makes me cry especially at the beginning. I just feel so sorry for that poor boy. I saw it with my sisters and then saw it again with DH. He teased me that I was crying at the opening credits.

I love Steel Magnolias but I never cry during that movie.

And I actually cried (luckily not ugly, but still) when we went to go watch Tinkerbell and the Neverbeast.

They put that in the theaters over there? Here, they are direct to DVD and that one hasn't been released, yet. I love the Tinkerbell movies.
