Life is Beautiful. When he finds his mother and is so delighted that he won - nope, nope, nope. Can’t do that one anymore.

OMG This movie!!! My heart! 

All I have to do is say the title and my DH will ugly cry, lol.

The Pursuit of Happyness upset me to the point where I will never ever ever watch it again. I like a good weepy movie as much as the next girl, but that was just awful.

The hardest I've ever cried when watching a tv show was the episode of Downton Abbey when Sybil had the baby and died. I've re-watched the show again here and there on Netflix, but I've never been able to watch that episode a second time. It ruined me.

The Land Before Time when I was a kid. I don’t really cry at books or movies.

My husband tears up at TV shows and movies pretty frequently though.

I don't think I could watch The Land Before Time now because I would cry like a baby. Poor Little Foot

Speaking of crying at concerts, at the end of a Coldplay concert during the X&Y tour Chris Martin did "Fix You", then turned off a single light blub and left the stage. BAM, my poor friend who isn't even a fan (went because I got the ticket last minute) I couldn't control myself.

I shouldn't admit this, the episode of Dawson's Creek where Mitch died, I might have cried the whole time. For some reason I associated this with my own dad, who at the time was in good health.

To name one that hasnt been mentioned yet - the movie "P.S., I Love You"

Oh god. I went through and entire box of tissues reading this book.

Also, the movie Lion had me straight up fucking UGLY CRYING at the end. Gah.

[outnumbered]

The book (not movie) A Prayer for Owen Meany makes me cry. Such an emotional ending.

The book Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe when Ruth dies and it is kind of from Sipsey's POV. Big ugly tears every time.

I just sobbed through the series finale of Parenthood and it was the second time I've watched it.

Big Hero 6
Infinity War - I cried 3 times both times I watched it
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom - all of my children teared up at that part
GoT - I cried hysterically when I thought Tormund was a gonner beyond the wall last season
Glory - I've shown this to several classes a year for a decade, and tear up at the end every time

I second the person who cried when Harry Potter was in the woods talking to his family before his death. That's the moment that it really dawned on me he was just a scared kid. And the "Always" flash back scene in the movie.

From the point he leaves the pensieve and walks into the forest was really well written - I have never had to walk to my own death, but I imagine if I did, that I would also think about all the heart beats that I never appreciated. All the moments I never considered to be all that special. "The Forest Again" was probably the best chapter of the entire series.

I also cried, and still get choked up, when Dumbledore drank the potion and Harry was frantically trying to get them both back to safety and he told Dumbledore not to worry and Dumbledore responded "I am not worried Harry, I am with you" - it is a powerful moment.

I cry a lot at movies and when reading books.

We watched Where the Red Fern grows in 6th grade and I was a mess.

In high school we went to see Titantic in the theaters and I cried for a good hour or two after the movie ended. Thinking about all those people who could’ve been saved: the mom telling a story to her children because she knew they were going to die; the elderly couple in bed together.

Harry Potter: when Dobby dies and Harry digs his grave without magic. When Molly weasely defeats Bellatrix...those were happy tears. When Harry’s family and friends say they’ll stay with him until the end.

The tears are real even when I reread the series.

Reading Sarah's Key.... I cried so hard through the last third of the book I had salt on my eyelashes afterward.

But it was so good.

[pumpkincat]

For movies... Big Fish and Mr. Holland's Opus.

Movies- Field of Dreams and Rogue One. Cassian's death just kills me.

I ugly cry at concerts. My friends and I were an absolute sobbing mess during Home at the Depeche Mode concert in San Diego. Full on tears, runny noses, ruined makeup. The song isn't super sad but it is meaningful and it was our first concert together after we lost a good friend earlier in the year.

I ugly cried at the beginning of Billy Joel at Wrigley Field last year. So many years sitting in the car with my Mom in Long Island growing up listening to his tapes in the car. I would have given anything for her to have been there.

The Perfect Storm also got me. American History X as well.

Toy Story 3
Shawshank Redemption 
Forrest Gump
Master & Commander
Stepmom
Family Stone
It’s a Wonderful Life (“to my big brother George, the richest man in town!”)

ugh, it’s actually a better question of what doesn’t make me cry. I also can’t watch movies about kids in peril, even if I know everything turns out ok.
