    So maybe I'm a hormonal mess. But I bought 'UP' for my son yesterday, and I was seriously sniffling with big ole croc tears after the first 10 minutes. WTF

     And we found a double feature in the $5 bin with 'All Dogs Go To Heaven' parts 1 and 2. Watched the first one this morning, and I'm crying like a baby. I love you Charlie! 

    I'm sure everyone with any feelings whatsoever had pretty much the same reaction with The Notebook. 

    Are there any others that caused a free flow for you? 

    8 Seconds was an older one that had me bawling at the theater.

    Riding in Cars with Boys!! I said it in another thread, but i had to stop the movie i was sobbing so hard!
    @Love my sister got laser eye surgery just before UP came out in the cinema and it was the first tv she watched with her new eyes and she went to the cinema on her own! She said it was unbelievable, being able to see properly and the saddness combined made for some noisy sobs and funny looks from the other cinema goers!!

    Maybe it's just me, but that super sweet, still together in their dotage, stuff just makes me boo hoo like a baby every time. The same thing that got me in the Notebook was the same thing that got me in UP. Just too too sweet and sad at the same time.

    I don't remember that one @Irishlass, is that the one with Drew Barrymore?

    We saw that at the movies when it came out, and at the beginning where they were showing the guy's life (wife, infertility, death, etc.) I was choking up big time.

    @Love, yes drew barrymore!! I love the bit where she says to her son; 'we are supposed to be a team!' and her son says 'NO, IM supposed to be the KID, and YOUR supposed to be the MOM!' I think about that scene every day, and i make DAMN sure i am the mum and he is the kid, and i dont try to rely on him and i let him have his childhood.

    @CAAMommoy - I refuse to watch Dear Zachary. I know what it's about. I think that would be too rough for me to watch.

    Crash...uhm, the Academy Award winning one...not the one where people get off while crashing their cars. Lol.

    There's a part where a guy shoots this other guy, and the 5 year old daughter jumps between them, I know what happens...and yet it kills me every single time!

    Man, I cry at so many movies it would probably be easier to list what I DON'T cry at!

    City of Angels (I cried so hard I LITERALLY had chest pain)
    The Joy Luck Club
    Ladder 49
    Sleepless In Seattle
    Cast Away (omg when Wilson floated away??!!)
    PS I Love You
    The Lion King
    The Bucket List

    I know I'll think of more!

    I got maybe 20 minutes into p.s. I love you and I had to turn it off I was crying so much. Apparently I'm a sap, I never realized this until I started listing the movies that make me cry!

    You know, I didn't even watch Million Dollar Baby - not because I thought it would make me cry, but because she was living out my worst nightmare. Well, aside from being buried alive, that is. Ech.
