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

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

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

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

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

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 :-)

I find films to do with animals the most didtressing. Black Beauty always has me in tears everytime I watch it. But Shindlers List is the saddest film I have ever seen and it haunts me for a week afterwards. Jo.

sophies choice and another one with meryl streep in where she playes the part of the woman whos baby was taken by dingos but she was accused of killing it................cant think wat its called !

Lou, that would be 'A cry in the dark' The movie was based on a true story. Deb (who surprisingly knows a lot of movies, considering that she claims not to watch many)

I must admit i'm a crier! Black Beauty Watershipdown Bambi Greenmile Stealmagnolias Champ That film where the boy see's dead people... Sound of music West side story camelot The king and i The last of the mo-wotsits with the big hair oh, oh, and that film, think it's called Purple something... erm, cant remember, it's about two black girls and oprah winfrey is in it... WOTS IT CALLED???? XXX

Just remembered another one from way back - Old Yeller. Poor dog and lovely Tommy Kirk - my childhood movie hero. Before anyone gets the impression that I'm hard-hearted and uncaring, I should add that, although I found Schindler's List and Sophie's Choice very moving, due to my lifelong connections with Jewish people, the content of those films didn't shock me, as it wasn't news. I already knew about the horrors depicted in those films. CB >|<

Yes! Old yella. I got tears already...and journey home, the one with two dogs and a cat making their way home. Yes, thats done it, the tears are streeming! xx

I once watched an animated movie called All Dogs go to Heaven and I cried my eyes out for ages, I had just a had a baby at the time so I think my hormones were making me feel a bit too sensitive! although it was sad when the dog died. Marie

oooh Deb - good thread. Most of the films mentioned set me off - and Greyfriars Bobby and one called 'The Day they gave Babies away' sometimes shown as 'All mine to give' - from IMDB This is a story based on fact that follows a husband and wife who emigrate from Scotland to Wisconsin in the 1850's. They work very hard and become welcome citizens of their new town, Eureka. They have six children. They prosper in the husband's boat building business. But when their eldest is 12, tragedy strikes the family, and the 12-year old is burdened with a terrible task which he handles as well as any adult could OOOh and one that someone mentioned on a thread ages ago - 'Imitation of Life' - which was on Sat TV the other morning.

Half the movies listed I've not even heard of let alone seen but I'm with Laurie on this one. I cry very easily which is why I'm more inclined to watch something that makes me laugh. If I'm gonna cry I'd much rather cry with laughter. Vivienne

Hello Debs!!! I'm well 'ard but did cry at Beaches! love becx

Touched by Love has me in tears every time I watch it

All good dogs go to heaven... you're right. i'm sobbing like a baby. Reminds me of my Henri who died a few months back.....x

I'm the same as a lot of you, show me a list and I've probably cried at them all. The Champ Green Mile Beaches The list is endless. Many years ago there was a film on one Sunday afternoon with James Garner and Sally Anne Fields, it was a true story and my hubby had to turn it off half way through as I was in such a state. And then I got upset cos I didn't know how it finished!!!! Julie PS Even cried on In it to win it on Saturday cos the girls were crying each time their amount went up!!

Beaches, Officer & a Gentleman, Bambi, Moulin Rouge, Stepmom, Love Story, The Jazz Singer - nearly everthing I watch!! Jan
