Which songs and/or movies are sure to make you cry every time?
Whether it’s because you can relate to them, they bring up bad/sad memories, or just because it’s something that touches your heart, almost all of us have songs or movies that bring us to tears every time.
Which ones are your favorite tear-jerkers?
For me, the song is definitely In My Daughter’s Eyes by Martina McBride, ever since my daughter was born – because that’s exactly how I feel about her.
As far as the movie, Marley and Me makes me cry every time, because a couple of years ago I had to make the decision to put down a cat who had been my best friend since I was 8 years old.

The movie Beaches with Bette Midler makes me cry… so does its music. It’s about losing a life long friend and that’s sad!!!
Marley & Me does it for me also. I lost a dog 2 years ago in much the same manner.
The first few times I heard the song Christmas Shoes, I got very teary-eyed. Now I’ve kinda gotten over it. Reading Marley and Me made me quite teary-eyed, also.
@ChocolateReigns “Christmas Shoes” still gets me every time! My mom is a cancer survivor, and every time I hear that song I start worrying it will come back. I worry at other times, too, but that song always gets me started.
When a loved character dies it always gets me:
Melanie in Gone With the Wind
Ruth in Fried Green Tomatoes
Sally Field’s character in Steel Magnolias, after the funeral for her daughter.
The song that always gets me is Celine Dion’s, My Heart Will Go On
Oh yeah Steel Magnolias. I’ve seen it a hundred times and have cried at each viewing.
This Woman’s Work by Kate Bush makes me cry every time. Equally good is Maxwell’s cover. Makes me cry too.
Bent makes me cry, rage and want to kill something so erm, yes that’s quite the emotional reaction.
Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2
@smashbox oh ya now I remember watching that a few years ago!
The Green Mile
Dumbo
Blue Bird
Anything from the album Cinema Serenade by Itzhak Perlman. We played it when my Mom was in a coma (her last days). Nevermind crying, I can’t get through the first few notes (of any of the songs). I have to turn it off.
Batman & Robin (1997). What Joel Schumacher did to the Batman franchise was just wrong… very wrong.
@erichw1504 You know, you can edit your answer to add more instead of answering 3 times.
@steamy, I was thinking the same thing.
@jmah Is there a guideline to only answering a question once? No.
@erichw1504 sorry, dude. I’ve seen you do it many a’ time, in multiple threads. It’s seem as though you’re trying to rake in the lurve. No biggie. Just an observation.
Songs: Dust in the Wind by Kansas and Gone Away by the Offspring.
Movies: Harold and Maude and Requiem for a Dream.
The movies Stepmom and Million Dollar Baby.
It’s A Wonderful Life, and here’s why:
Before we got married, my wife and I broke up for a couple of weeks.
While she was visiting her Dad in TX they were watching the movie (around this time of year)
and when she saw what George Bailey almost threw away, it made her think: “maybe this guy is for real and I’m about to make a big mistake by NOT marrying him” (she had trouble with trust after a few bad relationships) and when she got back, we talked more and ended up getting back together, married, for over 19 years now!
Thanx, George Bailey!!
Tru Confessions a Disney movie that I saw like five years ago, and will never forget how it made me feel. I cried much that I made myself sick.
Song: “Hallelujah” sung by Jeff Buckley
Movie: Boys Don’t Cry
Other song “Jesse” by Janis Ian
Gran Torino was sad enough to make me almost cry.
EDIT: Seraphine was probably the saddest movie I’ve seen.
My Girl
The Notebook
And for the song…Amazing Grace…which is odd since I am not religious.
@jamielynn2328 “Amazing Grace” is just sucha powerful song, it works on so many levels.
The movie Rudy, but they’re happy tears.
King Kong 2. Every part of that movie you see me sobbing.
Legends of The Fall caught me off guard and well into my cups once.
Once.
I almost forgot. There is one more. Terms of Endearment.
It’s a Wonderful Life
Forest Gump
Butterfly Kisses
@jmah Green Mile also makes me cry when I watch it. When I read the book I almost cried my eyes out.
Any movie that has an animal die in it or being mistreated, will have me in tears. I cannot handle seeing an animal in pain or killed. I know it’s ‘acting’, but everyday those types of things happen in real life too.
One I can think of now is, Eight Below.
I get all sad and weepy eyed when Bub from Dawn of the Dead realizes that his mentor is dead.
The Last Sin Eater
A Walk to Remember (movie – never read the book)
I just watched Moulon Rouge for the first time yesterday, and I was pretty weepy all the way though the movie. I would have never guessed that. What a really good film that is.
Steel Magnolias and Beaches and City of Angels
I was soooo mad at the end of City of Angels bc I didn’t know it was a tear jerker. I cried then I was really pissed!
