Every year I watch this old Christman 1945 movie in black and white.
And every year, I cry over it. I can't help it.
But this year, I wonder if I am going to repeat the pattern. Somehow,
I feel like my heart is turning into a stone these days.
Do you have a special movie at Christmas time that makes you cry too much.
Plot Encouraged by her idealistic if luckless father, a bright and imaginative young woman comes of age in a Brooklyn tenement during the early 1900s. IMDB :...

"A Christmas Carol" is heart tugger both the book and the films they have made around it.
I did not know of this film at all or the book so thank you for sharing it with us.

@marlina
I have read a resume right now of it and about the tree that grew in the square.
Have to say that the original version of "Little Women" is very moving and a real heart tugger I am much more familiar iwth it.

@lovinangelsinstead21 , The original version of "Little Women" is my favorite too. I am not crazy about the new stuff.

Not any Christmas movies. I watch the happy Christmas movies. But yes there are movies that I have watched few times but I still cry.

I have the book, I still haven't read it.
As for crying over movies and t.v? yep, yep I do.
I was crying over The Santa Claus the other day when I was watching it, and it's not even anything to cry over!

Lately I've been more inclined to watch happier movies and enjoy the variety of Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel.

Yes and I stopped watching it. It`s a wonderful life does that to me.
A Christmas story I laugh.

I've heard about this classic movie for years, but I've never seen it. I just pulled up the YouTube link you provided (thanks), and I'll probably watch it tonight.
I usually watch "It's A Wonderful Life" with James Stewart every Christmas season.

Not really but sometimes we like to redo the things we used to do on a certain festival just to get the feel of the thing.

I have never heard of it but there really isn't a movie we watch, we read the birth of Jesus from the Bible each year. =)

Not a Christmas movie; but the Lake House always makes me cry.
