"Rudy" actually makes me sob rather than just trickle tears. Oddly enough, so does the original cartoon "Charlotte's Web."
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

I'm not sure, but I almost always shed a tear during The Fisher King. It's pretty much when Robin Williams finally succumbs and makes some ugly noises that sounds more like real grief than anything you typically hear in movies.

Truly Madly Deeply is one of my favorite movies but i have never considered it a tearjerker. weird.

(as you might well imagine)

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?
~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies
i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
~ george clooney, inside the actor's studio
a straight edge for legends at
the fold - searching for our
lost cities of gold. burnt tar,
gravel pits. sixteen gears switch.

Crap, I forgot Field of Dreams. The end of that movie messed me up big time, and my father's still alive.

It's a Wonderful Life is the only movie that has ever made me teary eyed.
And I've seen it 150 million times too!

I've seen Dreams. Wasn't a tearjerker for me, but the film's imagery haunted me for days on end.bloodguard bob wrote:I don't know if anybody has seen Tampopo or Akira Kurusawa's Dreams but those are the only flics that'll make me cry every time.
Curious...both being Japanese and all.
Of the films listed (so far), Philadelphia was the only one that really made me cry. Seeing the film the first time was a powerful experience, and I totally lost it at the end, when Neil Young's song accompanies the video montage of Tom Hanks's character as a baby.
Saving Private Ryan and Now, Voyager came close. Shawshank had its moments, too.
Maybe it's just me, but I think West Side Story is overrated. As is The Wizard of Oz. Tearjerkers? Hardly. They leave me cold. *ducks*
Ordinary People should be in the Top 25. One of my favorite films ever, and a pretty good tearjerker along the way.
Charlie Chaplin's City Lights should be up there, too.
