PP here. Forgot about Marley and Me---oh goodness. The book had me bawling on the Metro and the movie...even worse. And I don't even like dogs.

Cole: She wanted me to tell you she saw you dance. She said, when you were little, you and her had a fight, right before your dance recital. You thought she didn't come see you dance. She did. She hid in the back so you wouldn't see. She said you were like an angel. She said you came to the place where they buried her. Asked her a question? She said the answer is... "Every day." What did you ask?
Lynn Sear(Cole's mom): Do... Do I make her proud?

I bawled every time when Cole's mom told him what she had asked her mother. DH actually saw me cry at this scene a few times and can't believe I cried every single time.

Not weird at all, that scene kills me too when you take into context the character studies in this film-great movie! Lot's of killer scenes in that one.

The Departed was recently on network TV-the scene where Leonardo DeCaprio comes to Vera Farmiga's apartment to talk and they both know what they are there for-having seen the movie previously and knowing what would happen to both these characters I just started bawling. So many scenes in La Strada. The look on Kevin Spacey's face after he's been shot in American Beauty. The last scene in Streetcar Named Desire. When you find out what happened to Zachary in Dear Zachary. The lovemaking scene between Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thorton in Monster's Ball. The scene where Matt Dillon rescues Thandie Newton in Crash.The scene where Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman put their heads together in Rain Man. A lot of scenes in Terms of Endearment. And of course, the last scene in An Affair To Remember. PS-many thanks to all PPs for not bringing up The English Patient.

I forgot about Dear Zachary. It left me speechless.

I was sobbing so hard from that point on that I could hardly walk out of the theatre. Wonderful movie.

The strength, realness and integrity of Andrew's parents is what makes me feel better at the end of this horrific film. Special people.

Quite a movie--from the time I first saw it as a little girl, I was so impressed with the acting of Juanita Moore--especially the scenes where she continues to express selfless love for her daughter despite the rejection. At the end when Susan Kohner is sobbing as the hearse is proceeding--tears you up!

I admired the everything about this film. Thought it was amazing. And I think it scarred me. Seriously. I didn't have kids when I saw it. Now? Forget about it. I would be a hot mess. It has permanence in my head and I wish it didn't.

I do understand. My kids were grown when I saw it, but of course I could picture them as little ones. Consequently, I just couldn't control my sobbing.

Brokeback Mt. when Ennis finds that Jack kept their shirts, where they bled on each other, all these years.

Posted earlier but forgot this one: In Monster's Ball, when Billy Bob Thornton says he hates his son (Heath Ledger), then the son says "I always loved you!" and immediately kills himself. That whole movie felt very raw and emotional.

It's been a long, long time, but I remember sobbing uncontrollably while watching Dad, with Ted Danson and Jack Lemmon. Anyone else remember that one?

Beaches: The scene where the Mom dies. I bawl every time.

Stella: I cried all throughout that movie

Stepmom: I just lost my Mom to breast cancer and I don't think I could ever watch that movie again.

It's not like I'm a huge Bette Midler fan, it's jut that those movies make me cry.

End of Schindler's List where the elderly survivors are filing by his grave site. Nothing is said. Just plenty of time for the viewers to consider everything.

Radio Flyer. Especially poignant for those who are an older children protective of their younger siblings. The end scene that is open to interpretation is tough.

For me, it's often the music that does it. Either the constant theme recurring at the right times or just the typical sweeping symphony crescendo.

I tear up at Polar Express just because of that theme that pervades the entire movie.

Movies affect me so much that I avoid watching many of them. I prefer watching documentaries and animated films because I know they are safe. I watch movies to escape the world, to have fun, and be entertained. I don't watch movies to feel awful and sad.

This is the only movie I have ever had to turn off and walk away from because it was too emotional to watch.
