Life is Beautiful - I balled my eyes out when the father was acting goofy at the end, knowing he was going to be shot, but acting goofy so his kid wouldn't come out of hiding.
But as I get older I find that I cry at just about any sad scene, even if the movie is bad. I cried while watching the final episode of Battlestar Galactica. |
Beaches, terms of endearment, and steel magnolias -- as already noted.
And this embarrassing one: ET, when Drew Barrymore is crying and ET says "I'll be riiiiiiight here." It's pretty mortifying. I still bawl, I mean, downright muffled sobbing. I try to hide it. |
one more: on golden pond. |
OMG...WILSON!!! But the movie name is Cast Away!
The scene when Tom Hank visit his wife at the house and in the rain and when she says "you are love of my life"...every SINGLE time I've I cried and I can feel my throat tightening up and it has gotten worse over the years! Tissue please ![]() |
I'm with you 17:08, I still can't see the end of ET without losing it, even though I know the silly alien is alive and makes it back home. My husband thinks I'm nuts. |
My husband always cries at the end of The Brave Little Toaster. |
Terms of Endearment-been watching it over and over again for twenty years and it still makes me sob like a big baby. Also Crash-lots of scenes but the one where Matt Dillon rescues Thandie Newton from the burning car-even though I know what's going to happen, every time I see it I break down like an idiot. |
This is a strange one, especially given that I am not a Kevin Costner fan...but...
In Dances With Wolves, when he is being taken away by the U.S. Army and they take target practice at the wolf Two Socks...gets me every time. |
a DH reports: in Field of Dreams, where Kevin Costner plays catch with this father.
It's a Wonderful Life -- the scene toward the end where the money is being collected and one donation note says "To George Bailey, the richest man in town." |
In the movie Ray, the scene where Ray as a little boy is newly blind. He falls and calls for his mother. (He doesn't know she's there watching him.) She stops herself from going to him, to force him to learn how to survive without his sight. As a poor African American in the South during segregation, it's all she has to give him. The pain on her face is haunting. As the movie unfolds, you see what a gift that was.

Kramer vs. Kramer |
My longtime favorite, since childhood, "Where the Red Fern Grows". After Old Dan dies, Little Ann lays on top of his grave and dies. It's like there's a tennis ball in my throat.
Love Story. Brian's Song. I bawl at the end of 8 Below. |
I was going to post the Field of Dreams scene: "Dad....you wanna have a catch?" And I'm female! Also the final scene in It's a Wonderful Life. Gets me every time. |
Beaches, for sure! Heartwrenching! I cry throughout the entire movie...

Sophie's Choice -- hard for me to think about this movie let alone watch it as a mother Fatal Attraction -- the scene after Glen Close's character boiled the daughter's bunny and she is hugging her stuffed animal -- when Glen Close's character take the daughter from school and spends the afternoon with her. Steel Magnolias The Story of Us not a movie - but there was one episode of ER where two parents brought in a severely hanidcapped child and abandoned him -- AWFUL Forrest Gump -- when Jenny ends up at her childhood home throwing rocks at it and you can't pretend that she did not spend her entire childhood being molested by her father Little Women -- the remade version with Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon -- I cried from beginning to end |
