I mean like books/movies. 'N stuff.

Let's see:

1. Les Mis. End of that book killed me. Some of the soundtrack makes me tear up, too, especially the finale...
2. Return of the King. Both book AND movie. Every time I see the dang thing alone.
3. Phantom of the Opera. The book. Because...Poor, Unhappy Erik.
4. The Last Battle. Not unil the very end though, where everything is so darn nice, you know?
 
Books:
Treasure in an Oatmeal Box by Ken Gire! It's about a girl and boy who are twins, and the boy is mentally handicapped. The ending totally killed me.
Not my Will by Francena Arnold. There's a part when Eleanor (the main character), is delirious with fever...Each time I read it, tears are rolling down my cheeks...

Films:
Black Beauty (1994). The whole movie makes me cry.
Fiddler on the Roof. The Chava Ballet sequence. *sob*
Imitation of Life. The funeral scene. *can't breathe!*
Return to Me Heartbreaking...
Life is Beautiful/ La Vita è bella Jewish man Guido and his son are taken to a Labor camp during WWII, and he uses his comic genius to turn everything into a "game".

Other stuff:
The Horse and His Boy (Focus on the Family Radio Theatre)
Aslan's "I was the lion" conversation with Shasta. Gets me every time...
 
Hmm, there are several films that have made me cry, but these are most notable:

Star Trek II: wrath of Khan. Okay, seriously, anyone who doesn't cry when Spock dies at the end needs their head examined! I was crying buckets when he gave Kirk his salute and said, "live long and prosper" before he died. *sniffs*

Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: the first time I saw this movie, I couldn't stop crying from beginning to end. Why? Reason 1, the movie was beautiful; 2. I was so happy that Narnia was finally on the big screen, and 3. the message. Seeing it on screen just completely blew me away and made the story even more real.

Prince Caspian: it didnt' move me as much as LWW, but still, I was crying in several moments of the film: when Lucy realizes that Mr. Tumnus and the Beavers are gone, I think I cried at the end of the Dancing Lawn scene, when the Pevensies see the Stone table, after the castle raid and at Aslan's How, and of course at the end. Who didn't cry at the end?

Mr. Magorium's wonder Emporium: such a cute film, but it's got some hefty messages to it. There were several moments that were a tearjerker, but most notable was the ending when Mr. Magorium said goodbye to Mahoney (played by natalie Portman). My sister and former best friend looked at me funny in the theater and laughed at me, but I didn't care. I still cry at that part.

Finding Neverland: anyone who's seen this film should know what I'm talking about. the ending of course got me the most.

Amazing Grace: lots of reasons this one got me crying, but the ending was the best.

Facing the Giants: if I used tissues when I cry, I would have used at least half a pack. I readily identify with the characters and what they were going through as it's been pretty close to what's happened in my life (though my dad's not a coach)

Fireproof: made by the same people who made the aforementioned film. But it's a much needed antidote to all the crud in this world and the whole conversation at the cross was the best part. Of course, I knew that it would have a happy ending, but the message of the Gospel was conveyed so well and clearly.

LotR: Return of the King; I only cried once, the first time I saw the movie. Haven't cried since. :rolleyes:

yeah, there are lots more, but....maybe later.
 
Here are the mulitple movies that have made me cry:

1) Titanic - everytime I see it...I go into hysterics :(
2) Atonement - well lets just say the whole thing gets me going into tears!
3) Passchendaele - THE ENTIRE THING MADE ME CRY
4) The Pianist - CRIED THROUGH THE WHOLE THING
5) LW&W - Cried at the ending, it was just so sweet
6) Prince Caspian - I cried at the ending, Regina Spektors song did it for me!
7) Many "Law and Order" episodes make me cry :eek:
8) Phantom of the Opera - Ending made me cry
9) Multiple TV commercials!! :eek:


If I remember anything else I will post!
As you can tell, I cry pretty easily!
 
1. The Inheritance Series--Brisingr when Brom tells Eragon he's his father. I couldn't stop crying.

2. At the end of Lord of the Rings-The Return of the King when Frodo leaves. Oi! I was crying.
 
Who didn't cry at the end?

*raises hand*
But since I'm an obsessive purist, I couldn't stand that movie...

This isn't fiction, but when I heard that Edgar Alan Poe's last words were: "God help my poor soul", I cried for a good ten minutes (which is long for me.)
 
No one can say for sure where Poe is now. It's not nice for your mom to say that about him. Maybe God did hear him, and save him. :)

OK, I am soft in the head, but the national anthem of the USA makes me cry. Which is really bad at ball games!!! I just think about those embattled patriots watching the rockets red glare and trying to see their flag ... I am tearing up thinking about it right now!

Truthfully, a lot of music can make me cry. I have to be so very careful at church ...

For books, ROTK and TLB are both likely to make me cry. LWW movie made me cry almost the whole time I first saw it because it was like I couldn't believe I was finally seeing it on the big screen. It was awesome. Fiddler on the Roof, during Sunrise/Sunset number, makes me cry ... and elsewhere ...
 
Books: My Sister's Keeper (anyone else read this book? such a sad thing), The Last Battle (at the end when Aslan tells them they're all dead except Susan), Inkspell (sequel to Inkheart), and I'm sure there's many others I just can't remember right now.... :confused:

Movies: Titanic, City of Ember (I was just so glad the movie-makers managed to make the movie so much like the book), Tuck Everlasting (part of a school assignment, I cried in front of all my classmates!), Coraline (I saw it with my cousins the second day it was in theaters and if you haven't seen the whole thing you might not understand exactly why I cried...), and I'm also sure there's many others I can't think of right now! :D

Music (Videos): Concrete Angel by some lady I can't quite remember at the moment....

Dreams: When I dreamt my whole family was on top of a Wal-Mart building and my 1 year old baby sister fell of the side of the roof and splatted on the pavement below!!! :eek: :( I woke up crying!

Hmmm there's a few things...

Movies:

Saving Private Ryan - the line at the end about "angels" .. a fitting end to that movie

Gladiator - the "who will help me carry him" scene at the end

Braveheart - the scene at the end where he sees his wife

(these two go waaay back)

Transformers the Movie (animated) - It was so sad when Optimus died in that film

Charlotte's Web (animated) - The end of that movie was very moving and kept in well with the book
 
Cutbacks at work mean no more servants, no more lamb with apricots, and no more shiatsu massages at my desk.

I want to burst out crying just thinking about it.... :D
