And “Boys Don’t Cry” (although, I couldn’t find it uploaded anywhere on Youtube).

What Dreams May Come – (Robin Williams)

Return to Me – (David Duchovny, Minnie Driver)

Ghost – (Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore)....but in fairness I was 9 months pregnant and hormonal

Terms of Endearment

What Dreams may come is the worst of them…can’t even talking about it without sobbing. Seriously, it’s only purpose is to make women blubber.

The Good Girl
Brokeback Mountain

@bananafish “What Dreams…” was another choice. It’s actually one of my favorite movies.

Moonlight and Valentino. I refer to it as “my crying movie.” I don’t even like it, it just makes me cry like a freaking baby.

Grave of the Fireflies
The Iron Giant
The Lion King (I think this is the first movie that ever made me cry!)
Pay it Forward
Homeward Bound

How about some classics
The Best Years of Our Lives-the Homer/Wilma subplot
Casablanca-the problems of 2 little people, nobody tears up like Ingrid Bergman

Also
Glory-I choke up when Denzel is whipped but I weep during the final charge.
The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman-when the elderly Cicely Tyson faces down the racists.
Brian’s Song-I saw it again recently and after 30 years the Gayle Sayers speech had me bawling
Dr. Zhivago-lovers doomed to the nth degree

The Prince of Tides
The Elephant Man
Show Boat (Ava Gardner at the end practically kills me with heartache every time!)
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Buster
Quite a few Disney films!
Funny Girl (mostly just the song My Man has my crying like a baby)

There are so many more but I’ve got a major block of the mind at the moment.

@amanderveen I LOVED The Three Lives of Thomasina when I was a kid!

NOTEBOOK! That movie, and the person who showed it to me, caught me off-gaurd and in a weak moment DAMMIT! I was even flipping through the channels one day and I saw it was on and stopped for maybe 30 seconds, it was one of the parts where they are in the seniors facility and I’m like, “It’s Noah! Don’t you recognize him! He’s you life-long love!” ...DAMN! It got me again!

also RUDY kinda gets me when his Dad finally sees him play…
