Deb, I think maybe I would be better of with a thread . . .which ones didn't make me cry. . never watch a movie without a tissue box i my motto - mind you I dont watch a lot, it has to be good to get me to sit through - but when I do, I'm sucked right in cheers Laurie :-)

Beaches................me and my best friend watched it together one night with a couple of bottles of wine, and lots of chocolate. By the end we where sat side by side on the sofa, holding hands and sobbing. Asking each other if we would do that for the other one. Laughing we both said NO! We know each others kids far too well lol. Didnt mean it of course we would

Sorry, folks, but The Sound of Music made me feel sick, not sad! It's SO-O-O-O sugary and twee! CB >|<

Kim I had forgotten about Sophies Choice! ...SOB SOB..... I think that I was pregnant with our son when I watched it. I can still see Meryl Streeps face in it. Good movie. I'm begining to think that I'm a wus....... Deb

Kim, I haven't dared see Schindler's list. I sobbed and sobbed reading the book. Gwynne

Schiendlers List Ghost Sophies Choice (starring Meryl Streep, where she gets sent to concentration camp and has to choose between her 2 children which one stays with her and which one goes to gas chambers) Im welling up thinking about it! Was also gonna put Bambi but thought it would ruin my image! LOL K x

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

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

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 >|<

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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
