What movies made you cry?

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Marley and me. When she miscarries and when he dies. I bawl. So many others too.

The Cove

Steel Magnolias (1989)

M'Lynn: [crying] I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.

[screaming]

M'Lynn: I'm fine! I can jog all the way to Texas and back, but my daughter can't! She never could! Oh God! I am so mad I don't know what to do! I wanna know why! I wanna know *why* Shelby's life is over! I wanna know how that baby will *ever* know how wonderful his mother was! Will he *ever* know what she went through for him! Oh *God* I wanna know *why*? *Why*? Lord, I wish I could understand!

[in a firm tone]

M'Lynn: No! No! No! It's not supposed to happen this way! I'm supposed to go first. I've always been ready to go first! I-I don't think I can take this! I-I don't think I can take this! I-I just wanna *hit* somebody 'til they feel as bad as I do! I just wanna hit something! I wanna hit it hard!

[continues sobbing]

That scene always breaks my heart.

I forgot about steel magnolias. That movie made me laugh and cry at the same time.

I know! M'lynn is having a righteous melt down and there is Clarisse offering up Ousier for her to hit.

It was the perfect moment in a film.

I never watched that movie cause I knew it was going to be sad. I have a hard time when kids or animals die in a movie.

I didn't like Marley and Me. It didn't seem very sincere to me.

Just my opinion.

I love it. But it does have its sad parts. I'm trying to think of other movies that made me cry. There are so many. Now the older I get the more teary eyed I get.

I never seen Marley and me cause I know it is going to be sad. When I watched bridges of Terebithia I didn't know a child died. It broke my heart. Same with my girl. I just bawled.

There's only two scenes that really get to me. The first one is where they get pregnant the first time. Then they find out there's no heartbeat so she has to have a D&C. They come home and the husband is trying so hard to do everything he can and Marley just puts his head in her lap and she starts crying. It's like he just UNDERSTANDS her.

The second part is where Marley dies. They're all reading letters they wrote him that they are going to bury with him. The letters are so touching. Okay, must go find Kleenex now.

I don't care how cheesy that movie is it's still touching. You should watch it. With your Kleenex.

Lindley · Guru

I may someday. To tell you the truth I hardly ever cry at movies unless a child or animal dies. I bawl like a baby.

The Cove

What is that movie about?

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I've watched a lot of documentaries lately and they make me teary eyed. Won't say the name of this one because I am not going to listen to people post crap but it was about the poor people in TN getting doctors to take care of them. It was a volunteer program and when you listen to the volunteers cry as they speak about how much giving back gives them it makes you tear up. I also watched a program about two Down's Syndrome kids that got married. It was very touching. Maybe I teared up on that one because I recognize what it is to be the parent of a special needs child.

This isn't a movie but I watched a You Tube the other day of a father at his daughters wedding. His daughter could hear completely fine. No one in her family was deaf. But she went to college to become a sign interpreter. Both she and her husband did sign interpreting for a living. For her wedding her father did not give a speech. Nor did he do a father daughter dance. Instead he "sang" her a song. It was called I Loved Her First. Here are the words. I freakin bawled through the whole three minutes.

Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each other's face
So much in love you're alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful woman with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it's still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

Must go get the Kleenex. Seems my allergies are acting up. cough cough You can google this. It's so pretty.

The Cove is a 2009 documentary that exposes the slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises off the coast of Japan every year. Dolphin meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is sold as food in Japan and other parts of Asia, often labeled as whale meat. The remaining dolphins are sold to dolphinariums and marine parks around the world into a lifetime of captivity.

Swimming with dolphins isn't a good idea, either. They're taken away from their families and often die of stress. Some commit suicide.

Thanks for the warning. Not a show I could watch.

It got an Oscar for best documentary, but if you love dolphins, you should avoid it.
It is good to know these things, however.
I hear so many people saying swimming with dolphins is on their bucket lists. It's a bad thing.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I think I saw the cove.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Titanic.

But not because of what you think.

I started crying the minute it started showing the part where everyone was boarding the ship.

I just sat there thinking, there all gonna die.

Shindlers List.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

Saving Private Ryan. When they were storming the beach. I just couldn't help thinking, pawpaw lived through that.

Beaches.

Passion of the Christ.

I bawled so hard at Marley and Me. One of the few movies I don't want to see again because it made me cry.

DH and I watched it together. When the final scenes started, I was sniffing (as was he). He handed me a Kleenex & took one for himself.

I am Legend. At the end when he realizes he found the cure but his creation killed him.

E. T. - Stinkin movie.

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Took me completely by surprise. Went by myself expecting a comedy. Good Lord, every single person in the theater was a blubbering fool. We all left with puffy eyes and snotty noses and looking like crap. That was an ugly cry movie.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I would like to see more movies that don't fit nicely together with the sentimental schmaltz. Life is messy. The good guy doesn't always win. And, sometimes the main character can die. It's ok to have unresolved angst.

Lindley · Guru

The movies that make me cry are the ones I'm not expecting to. I didn't know what "My girl" or "bridge to terebithia" was about and caught me by surprise and I bawled like a baby. Movies that you know are going to be tear jerkers I don't cry at. If I know a child or animal dies I avoid those movies like the plague.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

We watched a movie about a little boy who went to singing competition. His dad went to every competition with him. His dad was a soldier. Hard to explain the movie but in the end you find out his dad was killed in the war and that all the times he had his dad there it was just him imagining his dad being there. We let SS watch it and it kind of upset him but he was okay. I cried and cried.

The good guys don't always win. People don't don't always ride off into the sunset, to live happily ever after.

I loved the ending of The Mist, but some folks were horrified.

Oh I know that, I just like a happy ending. I like a good guy to win and a bad guy to lose. That's just me though. I kind of want to see the "Mist"
