I cry if anyone else on the movie or in the theater cries. I call myself a sympathic crier.

Marley and Me; well any movie with an animal in it that dies:crying:
 
Not the whole movie, but I have a really hard time watching the scene near the beginning of It’s a Wonderful Life where young George tells Mr. Gower that he didn’t deliver the medicine because he knows it was accidentally replaced with poison.
 
Hatchi,A Dogs Tale. Both my husband and I cried watching this tender sweet movie based on a true story.
Terms of Endearment
The Deer Hunter

The bolded made me think of this: trendvee.com/i-feel-ya-gus/

🙂 I’m also a sympathetic crier. The movies that make me cry are City of Angels, When Harry Met Sally… now that I realize it, basically anything starring Meg Ryan. :o
 
“A Dog’s Tale” because a dog was shipped from the Orient to the US. He is taken in by a professor, and the dog walks to the train every night to wait for this man, and the dog follows him in the morning to wait for the train with him.

They are so close, that when the professor (played by Richard Gere) has a heart attack and dies the dog won’t leave the train station. He waits for him for years. He expects him to be on the train. The widow gives the dog to her daughter, but the dog won’t stay. He keeps getting away.

The widow had moved away, but one day she comes back and sees this shabby dog, who is around eleven years old, skinny, malnourished. But she recognizes him, and she pets him. Unfortunately, he dies when she finds him.

I listed this as one of my favorites too.Did you know this is based on a true story?😉
 
Yes, I remember my sister told me it was.

I cried rivers when I saw it because my dog, Angel, had died only a few months before.

I have a DVD of this. Maybe I should watch this during Lent.

I saw this at the theater and began crying uncontrollably. I won’t watch it again. Once was enough to impress upon me the nature of Christ’s suffering. I still have these images in my mind.

The Mission-

When Robert De Niro started crying when being forgiven by the tribe.

HAHAHA…I thought I was the only one…I show this for a class I teach and I have to “do something” when that part comes on so the kids don’t see me looking like a big baby.

By the way same thing for the movie “Bella” when the brothers hug at the end… if you have a brother, that part hits you right in the feels.

I can empathize. I saw “Marley and Me” a short time after my Benny passed. I had no idea that Marley was going to die. I wish someone had told me. :bighanky:
 
Pretty much any movie where someone acts heroically or bravely.

The final scene of Les Miserables, from when we first see the dying Jean Valjean in the convent, reduces me to a weepy mess.

There’s a movie from 1983 or so titled “Without a Trace” with Judd Hirsch which is loosely based on the Etan Patz kidnapping and which leaves me an emotional wreck (I won’t spoil the end for you). I have a DVD of it but I rarely watch it and have to watch it alone when I do because of how embarrassing it is to see me cry. From the reviews on Amazon, it seems to be a film which reduces many men (especially fathers) to sobbing.

true.
I can’t believe I didn’t see that this year…😦
 
This is actually a funny thing about me. I don’t usually cry, but when I do, it’s when other people are crying. Same with laughing. If characters are laughing, I can’t help but laugh. 😃

Cheers…Luckily for me i’m usually on my own watching the dvd…lol…rest of family would probably not like it and find it too boring…Oh and obviously, the ending is very sad too when they are being killed.

Never seen “Bella” …will take a look.
 
What?!? No one has yet mentioned the all-time weepie…

The Champ, starring Jon Voight and Rick(y) Schroeder. (How anyone can get through the closing scene without bawling is beyond me.)

I had a teacher who once said, “I cry at supermarket openings.” That saying fits me so well. So I love movies that give me a good cry:

Wizard of Oz (don’t know why but the final scene…)

It’s a Wonderful Life (the ending, not so much the scenes involving Mr. Gower, as it did for a previous poster).

The Princess Bride (the final “As You Wish” at the very end.)

Going My Way (the scene in which Mother Fitzgibbon comes in was the only scene that could bring tears out of my he-man father)

Les Miz (the death of Jean Valjean “Am I forgiven now?”)

Father of the Bride (the Steve Martin version. My husband will be soooo like him if God wills our daughter gets married years from now)

Gigi (the proposal scene)

I Remember Mama (when Mama sneaks into the hospital to see her little daughter)

Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella (the Lesley-Anne Warren version), Stuart Damon’s portrayal as the prince was very moving.

Carousel, the final meeting between Billy and Julie

Monsters Inc (when Sully says goodbye to Boo)

(Dang! This list is making me think whole neighborhoods of Costcos are opening! ;D)

Now, some supposed tearjerkers that just don’t do it for me:

Love Is a Many Splendored Thing (really stilted dialog in some places)

Steel Magnolias (Sally Field’s scene in the cemetery was moving but it was spoiled, IMHO, by the ganging up on Shirley Maclaine. It felt like the powers-that-be didn’t know how to end the scene and put it in for a laugh).

An Affair to Remember (and I love Cary Grant)

Someone upthread mentioned Somewhere in Time. I’m from Michigan and love Mackinac Island, where it was filmed. Pretty as the movie is, the movie was just so-so to me: He didn’t go back in time (he hypnotized himself) and Christopher Reeve was just so wooden.

And finally,

The Sound of Music. This should make me cry, but it just doesn’t move me. At all. Don’t know why. Perhaps part of it is that it veers so far from the actual story but it didn’t move me when I first saw it either, before I knew the whole story.
