shooting dogs : i literally saw around 3 1/2 minutes of it near the end and blubbed for 3 times that. The bit where they are begging the un soldiers to shoot them and their children because they know they are going to get hacked to death and they want them not to suffer. More sad because its ttrue
Oh yes Shooting Dogs. Can't believe I didn't put that onmy list.
Question Author
I'm gonna buy one a week first is who will love my children
The Wedding Singer
The Pianist
Gladiator
The Green Mile
Saving Private Ryan
...the list could go on

(Pay it Forward?? OMG what a sad sad film)
Question Author
Not seen The Pianist. Ooh Perfect world is a good one
Mrs Miniver will get me reaching for the tissues every time.
Hmmm.. Which films have you 'reaching for the tissues' could have very different answers! :o)
Question Author
nice one :-) think I might have to read up on Mrs Miniver first
Some of the ones that make me bawl like a baby are:

Whistle down the wind
A place for annie
Immediate family
Truly madly deeply

I think all mine have been said but also loved 'waterloo Bridge' black and white film with Vivian Leigh. boo hoo
Oh, thugulike - yes, Mrs Miniver - it's brilliant!! Ages since I've seen it, I think I'll go & look for ir again. Another good, old one is The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. Here's a way out one for you all, it's called "8 Seconds" & it's a true story. The soundtrack's amazing, too,(if you like country music) especially at the end. :) K
Lots of really good films suggested.

Top of my list would be City of Angels.
What Dreams May Come
West Side Story
Titanic
It has to be Mrs Miniver for me...I start blubbing as soon as I see the cheery face of the old man who wins the cup for his roses.....but I won't say any more for those of you who haven't seen it.
Years ago I took my eldest to see Santa Claus The Movie and she was mortified when I started crying 5 minutes into the film when Santa dies.
whistle down the wind ( black and whit, children find a convict in their barn and convince themselves he's Jesus)

pay it forward (agree 100% 4getmenot- always blub no matter how many times I've watched it)

blow (true story of George Jung, drug dealer)

leon ( violent but I defy anyone male or female who does not sniffle when she plants the pot plant at the end)

midnight cowboy ( you gotta love Hoffman)

magdalain sisters ( based on true story about Irish girls packed off to strict convents for "sinning"- the sound of music it aint)

sleepers ( brutal tale of a group of boys abused at a
young offenders institution, and the revenge they take)

Jack and Sarah - (lighthearted chick flick story of a new father coming to terms with his wife's death)

To Kill a Mocking Bird - classic -black and white with gregory peck

Kes

Tarka the Otter (well there had to be some animal ones on my list, do you think I'm completley heartless)


..and I always cry when Buba dies in Forest Gump....
ooh - steel magnolias, that's quite sad too.
beethoven
United 93
Joe Schmo & anderlee - I didn't think anyone would know about Waterloo Bridge, so didn't mention it before - it's lovely, isn't it? And how come no-one's mentioned Pearl Harbor? It's recent, but still good for a weepie!
Question Author
teak city of angels is also one of my faves. ermintrude what a great post, I read to kill a mockingbird at school along with The Colour Purple, will check all these films out. and leon very good and sleepers is quite disturbing but really good too
I can't believe no-one has mentioned "It's a woderful life"
Who will love my children.x
