Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Wench says,

One of my favorite movies.

Dean6805 says,

It sounds ridiculous, but the scene in The Iron Giant where the Giant races up toward the missile, sacrificing himself in order to save the town. I watch it with my kids and get choked up every time seeing such simple, unquestioning sacrifice based on love.

SingerSomewhere says,

The scene in Forrest Gump when Bubba dies next to the river in Vietnam. Also, pretty much all of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

Wench says,

I also cry at that part in Iron Giant and a half-dozen times during Forrest Gump. The scene that comes to mind for me, though, is near the beginning of UP. If you've seen the movie, you know the part.

I've never seen Papillon but all of those other moments are good for weeping.
Bambi's mom. Actually let's face it a large percent of Disney movies have "cry-able" moments.
Old Yeller (near the end). Marley and Me (near the end).

August Rush and The Green Mile both usually can keep me welled up.

So many moments in A.I. bring tears, the pool, when she leaves him in the woods, when he let's himself fall in the ocean and when he hands them her hair and says "you know what you have to do." Didn't cry at all the first time I watched it but now it gets me every time.

In Bicentennial Man near the end when Andrew says "One is glad to be of service".
It was hard to believe they denied him humanity after he said...
"I would rather die a man, than live for all eternity a machine".

War Horse when he ran into the fence...and so many times after that.

I'll confess that I hardly cry when watching movies with someone else but enjoy weeping freely in private.

NumbrOneAunt says,

in terms of endearment when debra winger's character is in the hospital room with her son (with whom she's had a rocky relationship) and she says to him very forcefully, "listen to me. i KNOW you love me." - not an exact quote because it's been many years since i've seen the movie. but i just remember thinking, "here's a mom doing her very best to take care of her son. she knows he'll feel guilty when she's gone and she's trying to forestall that." now i'm gonna have to see if it's on netflix. if i drip tears and snot onto my iPad i'm blaming you, wench! :)

MO_Thoughts2 says,

Love the Iron Giant and August Rush too.

"Pure Country" with George Strait gets me every time when he's singing "Cross My Heart" to her at the end. How can one not cry when they hear -- "Our love is unconditional, we knew it from the start.
I see it in your eyes, you can feel it from my heart.
From here on after let's stay the way we are right now,
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow."

Believe says,

The part of 500 Days of Summer when I realize that I am closer to being the bad guy than the hero.

MrsPremise says,

Dumbo. When mother is caged for protecting baby Dumbo, she rocks him with her trunk through the bars. Allison Krauss's version of "Baby Mine" was the song for mother/son dance when my oldest son was married 3 years ago. We were both in tears. It's a favorite memory.

marymc says,

Dumbo.
Bambi.
Up.
Brokeback Mountain when Ennis visits Jack's parents after his death and finds the blood-stained shirt and cries into it. The whole move just destroyed me...to not be able to love who you love.....gah....am losing it just thinking about it.

L2L3 says,

When Old Yeller dies. Every time. I should have built up immunity by now but noooo...

Wench says,

There's no good way to get used to a dog dying, it's sad every time. And marymc, I don't know what it was about Brokeback Mountain - it was a good movie, well acted, directed, written, it just didn't do much for me. But Jake and Heath were great. Everyone was great.

scribbling_scribe says,

I was teary through pretty much all of Beaches and Terms of Endearment. The part in Apollo XIII when the astronauts were staring wistfully out at the Earth wondering if they would ever get home. I loved it when Captain Lovell rallied them back into determination with his query: "Gentlemen, what are your intentions? I'd like to go home."

Wench says,

When Ryan Gosling marries Michelle Williams in Blue Valentine. I just bought that today, actually - such a hard movie to watch but so good.

MsKillie says,

Bridge to Tarabitha when the little girl drowns :( The book made me cry as a child and I've always had a special place in my heart for that story.

mzejay says,

Life is Beautiful at the end. I loved the movie but don't think I can ever watch it again. Also in that category for me is Hotel Rwanda. I cried in the middle. Color Purple gets me everytime with the sisters playing in the field. Reminds me of my own sister.

TheAngstyPoet says,

"The Little Princess" when the daughter realizes her father is the blind man in the house across from the school. I get all choked up.

Wench says,

I cry when he remembers her, every time.

Mourningdove says,

Right now I will cry at anything, hormones, or something is at work ; )
