There is one movie that I consistently cry at when watching it. The Notebook(based on a book by Nicholas Sparks), makes me cry every time. I used to be able to make it at least halfway through the movie, now that I've seen it so many times, I start to tear up at the beginning of the movie because I know what's coming. It's gotten to the point of ridiculousness, and yet I still watch it.

James Garner is one of my favorite actors and I like love stories the best.So,we rented it from Netflix and I cried too and called my mom and told her about it.She didn't seem to be as tearful as I was.I guess you had to be there and see the film.

It takes a lot to get me crying on a movie, but The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith and his son. When he got the job after that internship, not really knowing that he got the job while in the meeting with management. I couldn't help but cry because I know how it is to want something and you might be right in their grasp and you just cannot get it for some reason or the other. I couldn't do nothing but boo hoo. The scene in Forrest Gump when Jenny is dying is another tear jerker. Then the movie The Champ is another one altogether. Oh well.

Different things draw the tears. Sometimes it is acts of bravery or sacrifice others it is just a great love story. It really depends upon what is going on in my own life at the time. Movies that always get to me. Philadelphia Green Mile I love both of the above they are just great stories that both oddly enough starred Tom Hanks. Braveheart Million Dollar Baby Romeo and Juliet (the Zefferilli version from 1968) Last of the Mohicans (that last scene on the ridge gets me every time) There are others, most recently I saw P.S. I Love You. Thought it was really sweet.

i really don't get sentimental with movies but what made me cry most was CLOSER. back then my bf and i were encountering some trouble within the relationship when i watched the movie. it just made me cry. from the beginning up to the end. even though i was crying most of the time, i didn't feel like ending the movie. i guess i just wanted to have a reason to cry and cry and cry some more. it also made me think, what if someone did such a hurtful thing to you and it made me cry some more.

The movie that really made me cry the most was,"The Passion of Christ".The story was sad anyway,but it is true ! Just to look at the movie.I know it was acting,but it was derived from The Bible,which is the word of God and totally true.To see the movie and see the pain that Jesus went thru and the emotional pain that his family,friends and believers went thru was very emotional to me as well.It was a great movie,I think that Mel Gibson did a great job bringing this true story to life.

Wow, this list could be a mile long for me! I'll start with a few old classics - Love Story, Casablanca, Madame X, Imitation of Life and Splendor in the Grass are a few that come to mind. More recent movies, but some are still a bit old now I guess, Terms of Endearment, Steel Magnolias, The Way We Were, Field of Dreams, Ghost...there are millions more that I can't think of right now - OK, not millions, but a bunch of them...lol Annie

I do cry when I see emotional encounters between parent and child in the movies due to hardships, divorce or loss. Kramer versus Kramer is a deeply emotional movie and Angela's Ashes is truly harrowing throughout. Schindlers List is heart breaking due to the subject matter. There are so many instances where I can be affected by something in the movies. I could list more films but I would be here for hours.

there was 2 movies that made me cry.. New Jack City and the movie, "Ray". In New Jack City when Nino Brown killed G money it was the ultimate cold harded thing to do. In the movie Ray, when Ray was a little boy, and he was blind and he was calling for his mother and she did not come to him, because she was trying to teach him not to be depended on anybody, because he was blind, that struck a nerve in me and I cried like a baby. Glad I was by myself when I saw that.

I find that I cry on movies that have emotional scripts. The ones that really get me are Vanilla Sky and The Butterfly Effect. These aren't sappy, romantic movies, but movies that I can relate to on a tremendous level. They are mainly about the main characters suffering from delusions, which is normally affiliated with mental disorders. I felt really bad when I watched them, because they seem to feel so alone like the world was closing in on them and they had no one to understand or help them relate to what was actually going on. I sometimes feel like that in life, since I am bipolar, my life usually is like a roller coaster of raw emotions that can change at any given time. These are two of my ultimate favorite movies, and like you have stated, I also truly believe that it the fact that as viewers we are able to watch the movie, understand it and see deeper than some because we see the resemblances that are being portrayed to be that of things we can relate to in real life. I completely agree.

I am also a sap. I never used to cry at movies until I had my daughter, and now I cry at just about anything. There are a ton of movies that make me cry every time like Dances With Wolves, Terms Of Endearment, Armageddon, I am Legend, Ghost, The BodyGuard, The Last Samurai, The Big Chill, and Steel Magnolias. Just about anything that has to do with children, animals, love or true friendship gets to me.

I have one that has gotten to me every time I have watched it and the only one that I can think of with this raging headache! Armageddon. During the scene where Bruce Willis changes places with Ben Affleck and the says good-bye to his daughter. That gets me every time!

I have one movie that gets me. And I mean every time I watch it. I think It has more to do with the title song on the sound track. But it is a really good Movie. It was recently re made too. The movie that gets me is the original "The Goodbye Girl" with Marsha Mason and Richard Dreyfuss. It came out when I was a kid.
