The most tear-jerking films (sob!)

[Si Cole2001]

Okay, this is where every guy tries to cover those blotches, but come on, let the truth out about all those sentimental B-movies that got your tear ducts waggling like there was no tomorrow.

Some on mine:
The Sixth Sense - I just felt so sorry for Cole, the misty eyes fired home.
Jesus of Nazareth - Probably the most frightening film I've seen simply because of how real it is. My emotions were flying all over the place.
It's A Wonderful Life - You gotta admit, this film may be cheesy for some, but hey! Ain't it just wonderful!

That's enough sentimentality from me. Now your turn...

"Its My Life" with Michael Keeton was a tear jerker for me. The first time I viewed it, my children were still small and I had JUST lost my father to cancer. That movie hit me hard for weeks.

I almost cried at the end of "12 Monkeys!"

I just watched Paths of Glory again. Good movie, but a real downer.

Movies I turned into a chick while watching...

Little Women (has to do with Beth)
The Sixth Sense (at the end with Cole and his mother, Lynn, talking about his Grandmother)
Pearl Harbor (I dunno why, during the attack scene I did)
Forrest Gump (the end)

I know there are more, I just can't think of them.

Hey, this is my 500th post! YAY! *singing* Happy birthday to me...

Anyway...

**Possibly a THE GREEN MILE spoiler**

The Green Mile (9/10) is the only movie I've ever really gotten emotional during. It happened at the ending, as Michael Clarke Duncan was singing "I'm in heaven" right before his execution. It hit me just right. You gotta give credit to the incredible filmmaker Frank Darabont and the excellent Michael Clarke Duncan for that!

The only other movie I've come close to that in was Tuesday's with Morrie (9/10), and underrated and often forgotten TV movie with (the late and great) Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria. I wish they'd put this out on DVD, because it's such a great movie.

I also felt somewhat emotional during It's a Wonderful Life (9/10), but never really to the point of tears. Remember that scene in the beginning where the young George Bailey stops his boss from accidentally poisoning a little girl, and at first the boss is angry with George for not listening to him, but then when he realizes what almost happened he cries and hugs him? That scene is so powerful to me.

I also remember crying as a little kid when I saw that scene in Dumbo when Dumbo's mom was in a cage, and the two were holding each other with their trunks and crying.

However, I don't think I cried with Bambi's mom died in Bambi.
