What 80's movies do you watch that no matter how many times you have seen them you end up balling every time?
Mine are: Terms of Endearment The Color Purple Mask
Sometimes you are in the mood for a good cry and these are definately ones that can get you started!!!

Terms of Endearment is the saddest, but great movie
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
ET...I'm telling you, it's pathetic. I didn't know I could cry that much.
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
Terms was at Best Buy for like $4.99.
I know I have said this before but Project X makes me cry horribly so. I cannot even watch it.

Ialways watch the Breakfast Club and St. Elmos Fire. My kids like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, they hate when I recite the lines.
Posted by TheResurrection (Member # 2326) on :
Last American Virgin (ending) is pretty brutal.

Assuming that you meant 'bawling', and not 'balling'......

TITANIC, E.T. and TERMS OF ENDEARMENT.

Field of Dreams. The end scene always puts a huge lump in my throat. There is just "something" about a game of catch with a father and son. It's so simple yet so special. Hard to explain unless that was something you did with your father.

Lots of 80s tearjerkers not yet mentioned - I'll throw up two:
Beaches Six Weeks
Posted by Jessie the Sunflower Goddess (Member # 1877) on :
Oh wow how could I have forgotten Beaches. Absolutely a very sad flick. I haven't ever seen Six Weeks, and probablly won't want to unless I just want to cry for no reason. NA!

Awesome film. The part that always gets me is when Burt Lancaster steps out of the ball game and gives his dream up selflessly, realising he has a greater purpose in the here and now.

STAND BY ME. gets me every time.
Posted by LONNIE (Member # 3934) on :
I thought it was sad at the end of Wierd Science, and they had to give back those cool cars. That was sad!

Im trying to remember a movie in the 80's of two people who fall in love in Heaven and the girl gets resurected back to life on earth and later on he does too. They end up finding each other at the end...can someone help me out?

Nighbreaker...made for TV movie with Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen and Lea Thompson.

Watership Down puts a lump in my throat.
I don't tend to cry at films but (and I know it's not an 80s film) 'Moulin Rouge' is the one film that makes me cry.
Posted by JCWBobC (Member # 2525) on :
Made in Heaven with Kelly McGillis & Timothy Hutton is the one where they meet in Heaven and have to find each other on Earth.
The hospital scene at the end of She's Having A Baby always gets me.

At Close Range with Sean Penn and Christopher Walken is very sad, it's unbelievable what Brad(Christopher) does to his son Brad Jr. (killing his son's friends and then attempting to kill his son and girlfriend, only Brad jr. survives) followed by the showdown at his house. There's also the courtroom scenes and the smile Brad sr. gives to the two victims relatives outside. Posted by just one of the girls (Member # 5766) on :
LUCAS- hands down gets me every time. i feel so bad for him
I use to like E.T. was sad when i was yonger but not anymore.
STAND BY ME-is pretty sad.

She's Having A Baby hospital scene. I went through the same thing with my wife 12 years ago and it still kills me to watch it.
Posted by valleygirl (Member # 5628) on :
E.T still always gets me...beaches and terms of endearment. yeah, that last scene in shes having a baby is a real tear jerker too..
Posted by ness11 (Member # 5925) on :
What about Ghost? I do not remember though wether it was 80's or 90's
Posted by KISSMAD (Member # 4412) on :
The Last American Virgin gets my vote.
Posted by jdocster04 (Member # 5752) on :
Chopping Mall... Can you believe that robot blew the head off of that blonde!!! What a waste...
All right. Ghost kills me too... Posted by Lovers with Cassie (Member # 7794) on :

This picture receives my vote.
Watching everything in Tommy Wilhelm's (Robin Williams) life go wrong is enough to make you unhappy. Posted by oneyedwilly (Member # 8730) on :
without a doubt - Stealing Home

Liar's Moon-especially the alternate sad ending I had only read about-and then was surprised to see on the video tape I had to special order.
Two others-but from the 70's. The Champ! The Way We Were-I was pretty young when I saw it on cable-probably too young to really understand it-but the ending seemed so sad to me at the time.

'The Champ' destroys me! I also genuinely like 'The Way We Were' (but it doesn't make me cry).

Hard
Grave of the fireflies is probably the saddest 80's one for me.
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Here's a few I'll go with ..
Mask
E.T.
Steel Magnolias
Terms of Endearment
Ordinary People
Beaches
Posted by Lovers with Cassie (Member # 7794) on :
The Bounty. The ending where the mutineers as well as their women watch from Pitcairn Island as "The Bounty," having been set on fire to avoid detection, sinks beneath the waves and Fletcher Christian (Mel Gibson) is asked by one of his crewmates that they will never get off this island, they will never see England again, made me cry when I saw this as a child.

Some good choices on here.
I gotta go with SIX WEEKS. I was just a kid when we saw this at the Blue Ridge Mall and couldn't hold back some tears. Not sure anyone did. It breaks my heart when parents lose a child.
Not really a tearjerker but the last scene of Against the Odds is a very emotional scene.
