Movies that make you cry every time you watch them

[Beefy]

So I was watching The Mighty again last night.

The first time I saw the film, I had a weekday off from work and went downtown to the Angelika.  There were maybe six people in the auditorium for that showing.  I sat way in the back, as I was feeling a bit self conscious about being there alone.  I bawled my eyes out during the film, sitting even through the credits, sobbing away.  I was the last person to leave, and an usher saw my state and commented, "Liked the movie, huh?"

I've seen the film a handful of times since.  When I was watching it last night, I felt more distanced.  Things struck me as being cornier than they had before.  Dramatic moments felt a bit more forced than they used to.  As the end of the film came near, I felt a little sad that I wasn't going to feel the emotional impact this time.

My fears were for naught: I started bawling, right on cue.

Does anyone else have a movie that gets them every single time you watch it?

The Color Purple.

I cry everytime Suge sings God is Tryin' to Tell You Somethin'.  Especially when she goes up to her daddy, the preacher, and says "sinners have souls too."

The Color Purple. 

I sob from the opening credits straight on through to til the screen fades to black.

The ending of Saving Private Ryan when Matt Damon's character is reflecting on his events duing the war, when he is crying turns to his wife and asks if hes lead a good life..   That part gets me evey time.

Gettysburg- Chamberlain's speech and the death of Armistead
Highlander- Heather's death
Finding Neverland- I sob from when the kid breaks his arm to the end
West Side Story- Natalie Wood may be the WORST Maria ever, but when she screams "Don't you touch him" and falls on Tony's body- oh!

I used to cry at Independence Day, when the president makes his speech.  But I showed it from July 2 unti November, at least once a day, every day.  I'm numb to it now.

I'm sure there's more.

Yup.  Just kills me every damn time.

It's not a movie, but EMHE reduces me to puddles.

It's all about the balls...

[Mr. Ubiquity]

I've never had any more than watery eyes from a movie.  I isolate myself from movies like I isolate myself from people, dammit.

Just bottle it all up.   Little bits of anger or rage or tears gets old and annoying.   if you bottle it, you get good outbursts and thats more memorable and meaningful.

[Alice]

I Am Sam... I bawl during basically the whole movie.  Oh and Sommersby.

I don't think there are any movies that get me, but for some reason I get too choked up to sing along with Ben Folds' "The Luckiest" or "Bobby and June" from the soundtrack to "A Mighty Wind."
