I have just watched Finding Neverland, and was in tears at the end. Hubby even said that he was getting choked up, and that it was a good movie. He doesn't say that very often. Others that I can remember having a good old cry at: The Green Mile One flew over the Cookoos Nest Bowling for Columbine. Deb

Hiya Deb:) loads but especially The Shawshank Redemption Bridges of Madison County Brief Encounter Secrets and Lies

Oh David, yes, I forgot about The Bridges of Madison County. I read the book first, before the movie. I can remember sitting on the couch until the wee hours as I couldn't put the book down, and sobbing uncontrolably. Oprah (at the time) mentioned a particular page that she wept at. Sure enough the one that had me red eyed. I did the same with the Green Mile. Was trying to tell the girls at work about it, but was in floods, Shawshank redemption - a very good movie. Just remembered another one The Birdman of Alcatraz Deb

pmsl Linda - isn't that Tom Hanks? I can't cry at anything with Tom Hanks in cos I just want to kick the screen in:)

No David, it was for the inmate Koffee, and his mouse 'Mr Bo Jangles'. I'm getting misty just thinking about it. LOL Linda. I can just see your parents faces :) David - Maybe try 'Tom Hanks anger management classes' :) Deb

Dr Zhivago Anna Karenina Gone with the Wind The Sound of Music (when they sing Edelweiss at the concert) Ring of Bright Water Lord of the Rings (all three) Gwynne

Help me out here. As a child I watched a film that made me cry. An escaped convict was discovered in a barn by a young lad. The boy asked the con who he was, to which he replied 'Jesus Christ'. Was it Whistle down the wind'? Deb

Think that was Whistle down the Wind Deb, with Alan Bates? My recent break down and sob movie was Million Dollar Baby with Clint Eastwood. A beautiful film and a great cry! XX BC

Donna - I have spent many a night 'Sleepless in Seattle' ;) Buttercup - My best friend said she was sobbing during 'Million Dollar Baby'. I haven't seen the movie, so can't understand how boxing would make her cry. I'll have to rent it I guess and find out for myself. Thanks for the confirmation on Whistle Down the Wind. Deb

Gwynne is quite right about S of M. Both the Edelweiss bits and both the Climb ev'ry Mountain bits make me cry but I didn't want to be the first to put it down.

I clearly remember the first film that moved me to tears. I was only a ''ard' teenager and I watched Kramer V Kramer with my mum and the little boy was sooooo good. I cried when he asked his daddy if he would see him again. :o( Claire xx

Nobody should be ashamed of crying at Sound of Music...lol BC

David, Tom Hanks, snap (except Philidelphia) Deb, Gone with the Wind The Champ (had to sit in the cinema for 10 minutes when it ended to recover) Any film where children cry in distress Jean x.

Gwynne, Not meaning to pass you bye. Sorry to say, The Sound of Music , though an excellent movie, never tweaked the tear ducts! It is my Mums favourite movie. There was something in the paper recently, picturing the Great? Grandchildren of the Von Trapps. I should have paid more attention to the article. Deb

You're right Jean - I forgot about Philadelphia - that's the exception:)

Just to go off topic for a sec... David will you be coming to Vancouver with HRH next year? I'll make you Paralyzers :) Cuzzy Deb

Dr Zhivago is my all-time weepy, but it's beautiful, so I watch it endlessly. Others include Bambi The Great Escape (Steve! Steve!) Dances with Wolves Midnight Cowboy oops! Forgot - Watership Down CB >|<

Re Sound of Music- It's that little crack in his voice as he gets near the end. It does it every time. - even when I went to see singalong soundamusic, which had me in tears of laughter I still broke at that bit. Gwynne

'Sunshine', I actually took a box of tissues to that one. Rebs xx
