My all time favorite movie is Terms of endearment. I thought it showed an unbreakable bond between mother and daughter.I can't watch it without sobbing at the end.

 The Movie"Couragous" was a great movie with a great story.  I must admit that movie got me and me and wife were watching it together.

It is now on my to watch list!  Thanks!

 I'm not a particularly religious person, but "The Passion of the Christ" got me. My wife and our two friends were weeping alongside me.

The two movies that have moved me are "Legends of the Fall" and "A River Runs Through It!"  These movies for me are what America and Family are all about!  They show both our weaknesses and our strengths.  There are others but these two immediately come to mind!  What are yours and why? 

Bump those two movies moved me also.

There are so many good movies, but I'm having a difficult time remembering the ones that made me tear up. I went to the rottentomatoes site and looked at the "best" year-by-year, but I gave up when I saw one of the WORST movies (in my opinion) I've ever seen rated 97%: Assault on Precinct 13. That movie made me cry for the lost 3 hours (saw it on TV in a hotel room a couple years ago with lots of commercial breaks).

Edit: Evidently that 97% was for the 1976 version and I saw a 2005 remake. It was just awful. Is the 1976 version really all that?

 Hmmm....... I am going to have to dig deep for this one. 

Courageous, I got teary eyed at that one part.  Bump on the Taking Chance, I am a sucker for military movies that involve a funeral of some sort.  Ace of Hearts, Based on a Police K9 named Ace. You will almost cry on this movie if you are a K9 handler or deal with K9's. My Girl.(no judging lol!). 

I try to stick with comedy, action and anything John Wayne.

 Lions for Lambs is another great tear checker at the end. Its about two guys in college who take time off to enlist in the Army. They both end up in the same unit, air assualt I believe, and go over to afghanistan. An accident happens while enroute to the lz and the two are tossed from the chinock and get hurt. The rest you will have to watch, especially the end. It will make your proud and cry. I know I did and stoud up and gave a nice HOOAH!!

I don't know how anyone here feels about foreign films but.......I like the Italian film "La vita è bella." In english it is titled, "Life Is Beautiful." It is by director Roberto Benigni. Though this movie's theme is ultimatley sad I found it neat how the director was able to incorporate humor into the film...all the way from the beginning to the ((near)) end. I believe this was done by means of making the main charachter so animated and creativley light hearted, as he faced the most perplexing ( and dangerous ) of situations, in a consistent manner.

I could appreciate how the main charachter, Guido, always tries to conceal the horrors of what is really happening in history ( at that time- World War two ) to the little boy Giosue. Giosue is so young that he believes whole heartedley that he is not truly in danger but that indeed it is an elaborate game involving the death camp soldiers-- in the concentration camp in which he has been sent. Guido tells the little boy the soldiers will present a "winner" at the end of the game -- if they are " Good," by not crying ( and falling into despair ) out for their mama. Giosue's ( the little boy ) mother in reality is transported to another sect of the women's concentration camp where the little boy has no access to her.

Giosue ( the little boy ) plays along and somehow gets by- by hiding in the concentration camp quarters of the men undetected ( quietly, patiently ) waiting each day to win more points for, " Being good," to collect his prize. I think because the little boy was shielded from the reality about what was really happening he was able to survive-- and in fact, " Win." This film is Not based on a true story.....

Also the movie's music- theme song- is very sweet and I like it.  

Another movie I never forgot, that was also written for the same time period- during World War 2, is called- Europa Europa ( Europe, Europe in english )  by Polish director Agnieszka Holland. This movie is intense and this One IS ALL based on a  True story, which makes it that much more amazing. It essentially revolves around a young man who goes through absolute heck to survive the war and once again be re-united with his family. This movie is strange in that the young man assumes an entirely new identity, because he believes, it is a chance at survival. The kid definitley has identity issues to have done what he did I guess, but he is so young and unaware of the implications of what he is doing that somehow transcends the utter madness of it and temporarily gets by ok.

Last one I promise  : Empire of the Sun by Steven Speilberg....A very young Christian Bale ( he is now playing Batman in the new Batman films ) is a young privileged English boy  ( living in China with his parents ) whose life is turned upside down by the Japanese invasion of Shanghai, December 8, 1941. Getting lost in the mix as choas ensues, he is eventually captured, and taken to Soo Chow confinement camp. He befriends Basie ( played by John Malkovich ) who is an American solider. Ben Stiller is also in this film playing another American solider living within the Soo Chow confinement camp. I like the song in the film "Suo gan," alot.

I am a BIG cry baby when it comes to movies....just a few that I pretty much sobbed while watching

CRASH- if you have never seen this go rent today! It really makes you think about your actions and how they are a dominoe affect...

Saving Private Ryan- I never made it to the end of this one I had to turn it off

Courageous- I took my son to the movies to see this the same day I received my divorce draft a marriage of eight years that ended b/c of domestic violence , after watching this movie I set a higher standard for myself and my son. I sobbed during the whole movie, but ironically my son still remembers the creed I'm glad that I took him to see it.

August Rush- if you have a child with special needs this movie will touch your heart in a huge way.

The Green Mile......made me think how we treat people that are different based on assumption...

Recent-"Siege Of Firebase Gloria".

I love old movies. "It Happened One Night", "Gone With The Wind". I'm a romantic at heart.

I agree with others who have said 'Taking Chance.' It was a phenomenal film. The show of patriotism by random strangers was moving, and I can recall two scenes in particular that made my eyes water up. If you have not seen this film, I highly recommend it.

Was one of the scenes the hanger scene where the Airman was escorting home his Brother?? I was so choked up, I couldn't even explain it to my Mrs. Had to show her. She finally watched it with me (the 3rd or 4th time I watched it).

The ending of Gladiator gets me every time.

And Rockys speech at the end of Rocky 4...
