Such old films but always good to watch...

Just relised(sp)how old this thread is...

Green Mile
oh and Lassie
mind you I was only 7 when I last saw Lassie!

Beaches

To Kill a Mockingbird - rented the DVD from the library this week - it's just lovely. sniff.

janh - have you read the book? It always has me in floods of tears too.

Out of Africa - makes me cry every time I see it, sob!

I knew that "Daddy, my Daddy!" from the Railway Children would be in this thread and there it was...I start crying as soon as the smoke starts to clear on the platform.

Also It's a Wonderful Life, Beaches (so corny but weepy), Steel Magnolias, oh and what is the name of that film where the little girl is deaf..and she learns to make sounds by pressing her lips on to a balloon? It's a girl's name...ooh help me out someone.

Mine and dh's first date was to see Ghost - I was reviewing it for the student newspaper. I thought it was v. silly but dh2B was a bit sniffly (he was just trying to con me into believing he was a new man..ha!)

Schindlers List - I cried my heart out from about 10 minutes in, right to the end of the film.

Sadly, I watched it a second time and the impact was nowhere near as great - something which also upset me in a different way, that you could become immune to that level of suffering.

Beaches and I am sam,was out in the cinema last year dont know if it's on video yet.

Most recently the end of Dirty Pretty Things had me weeping pathetically for 10 mins.

Bambi when his mum dies, every time.

Any form of torture.

Anything happy.

Casablanca ......when Sam plays "As time goes by", I just fall to pieces.

Watership Down......life aint easy in the big bad world!

first in my head "Babe".it's awful , i watched it with dd for 10 mins and left the room then came back in and turned ir off!

Also
Beaches
When a man loves a woman
Schindlers list
Seeing Red( more of a drama)
Dying Young
Thw way we were

And anything to do with kids or animals.

Just saw "All about my mother" last night and that made me cry

and E.T

Marthamoo - Mandy.

I am too cold hearted to cry at any film.

An Officer and a Gentleman.
Watership Down (every time I hear Bright Eyes, I start).
Dirty Dancing.

Anything that's remotely sad or happy really.

gingernut, I have read the book (and have it somewhere) but not for a very long time. I must read it again.

My DDs (21 and 18) watched some of it with me and were really enjoying it but sadly we had to turn it off and go somewhere way before the end. There is supposed to be a documentary about the making of the movie on the DVD, couldn't find that but did get a commentary, from the producer and someone else - Scout and Jem were played by 2 non-actors, and the atmosphere on set was such that they were so close to Gregory Peck that the girl who played Scout still called him "Atticus" just a few years ago. (I love Scout - hard to believe she must now be nearly 50!) It is such a gentle film and the kids are so normal.

Did you know that Harper Lee and Truman Capote were neighbours as kids? Must have been something in the water!

simon birch boohoo so sad
I have never cried at a film before until I seen this.

soothepoo, thanks

Watership Down, Lion King, the end of Ghost, and the one that gets me every time, the Simpsons episode where Maggie says ' Daddy' at the end.
