Redford washing Streep's hair in Out of Africa. On of the most sexual nonsexual scenes in movie history. For me anyway.:

The Namesake--movie about Indian immigrants, I don't want to spoil it for you but it has it all--death, failed relationships, social isolation. We saw it soon after a death in the family (didn't realize that's what it was about) and my husband and I both wept. Good times.

Just the whole concept of that movie makes me weep openly--before I saw it I cried during the trailers for it--

Oh God, thanks for reminding me about Kramer vs. Kramer. I have seen that movie so many times (though not in years) and it turns on the waterworks every time. I haven't watched it since becoming a mother, that might be too risky.

The final scene in Like Water for Chocolate. I just remember sitting stunned in the theater with tears streaming down my face as the credits rolled.

Yes! I forgot all about that movie. I sobbed so hard throughout almost the entire movie. I think it hit a little close to home as my sister and I faced similar challenges with our mother growing up. But the part that really kills me is when Meg Ryan is talking to her AA group and retells the story of her daughter finding her on the floor.

Also Beaches, when the little girl finds her mom passed out on the floor. "Mom please get up mom!" Ugh.

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


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 have not seen the movie but i don't like watching movies about the holocaust. they just sadden, scare and infuriate me at the same time. that scene sounds just so sad. i have often thought about what life would have been like if i lived in that era. the thought of society taking away my husband and child and putting them in camps is just too horrible.

steel magnolias always makes me cry esp now as a mom.

The movie that haunts me more than any other is Traffic, when the daughter of Michael Douglas's character has sex with her drug dealer in order to get a fix and when the dad finds his daughter in bed in a hotel after prostituting herself. When he walks in, she just looks at him, completely strung out, and says "Hi Daddy." I had just given birth to my first daughter a few weeks before seeing the movie, so I may have been particularly sensitive. I've always regretted having watched that movie.
