it was the first movie that i cried in.

Oh Man! This movie was very sad. I get very bummed when animal-type characters almost die or get sad or get left behind or whatever.

E.T., Howard the Duck, Harry and the Hendersons, Milo & Otis, Old Yeller, etc. All Sad!

Another very sad movie is "Of Mice And Men." Very sad especially when the dog has to be let down. And why, I ask myself, am I admitting to being sad caused from these movies? I don't know. I guess I'm just a sensitive guy. [Big Grin]

I agree Eddie,
Of mice and Men is totally depressing!!! Especially when Lenny accidentally kills the pup. I am such an animal person, especially when it comes to dogs. I will never watch that movie, too sad! [Frown] [Frown] [Frown]

Devolution here,
Are we serious?

Howard the Duck!?!?!?!?

Remember the time that I cried at the end of Turner and Hooch?

NO! Because it didn't happen,
I respect mostly everything,
but Howard the Duck?

Come on Mr. Wilson.

We are DEVO and we didn't cry during howard the duck

Now don't get me started on "Turner & Hooch." Why did they have to have Hooch die at the end? Thats not right. But I've always loved "Howard The Duck" ever since I was like four years old. And Lea Thompson isn't too shabby either if you know what I mean.

Does a movie count if you watched it in the 80's and cried??
Madame X-the old classic, is a tear jerker

Of course, Old Yeller, if you can't cry over that, then your made of stone.

I did cry at E.T, but I knew he'd be back for a visit sometime.

Mommie Dearest- if she were my mom, I'd cry!

My favorite all time movie-that I have watched in the 80's and every decade is Gone with the Wind, when Bonnie-their baby dies, breaking her neck on the horse, and when Melanie dies= get out the Kleenex!

I agree Isis,
Mommy Dearest scarred me for life. For me it was the tag line scene of the movie... "no more wire hangers!!!!!!" Then beating her daughter w/ the wire hanger. Chrimity, tears, tears, and more tears. Tootles! [Frown]

This might be a chick flick but it is one of the only movies I have cried in.

BEACHES

Especially during the funeral when CeCe is the last person there and Hilary's daughter is sitting
waiting for her.

Devolution here,

Man, for all of you that didn't know, back when I started, this is where the phrase "don't feed the DEVO" comes from.

We are DEVO

That was a fun read. I have not been around for that long but it is weird when you see someone on here quite a bit and then they are gone.

I'd like to add to this list Field of Dreams!! Man o man does that one kill me at the end.

Field of Dreams ending, Ray seeing his dead dad as a young man

The Monster Squad "don't go, don't go away", ""byeee" and Phobe throwing the monster the stuffed animal is a nice touch, gets me every time

Turner and Hooch (dog dies saving Tom Hamks)

Rocky 3 (Micky's death)

Back to the Future (when Doc Brown gets shot by the Libyan terrorists)

and honorable mention goes to Night of the Creeps, the scene when Chris plays an audio cassette recording of his best friend JC saying goodbye to him just before he dies and telling him how to kill the creeps, especially at the end of the message when JC says "I love you. Good luck with Cynthia" Apparently, director Fred Dekker placed photos of dead bodies from war atrocities to get Jason Lively to cry for real when filming the scene.

And screw it, I'll also throw in The Outsiders, when Johnny dies in the hospital and the scene where Ponyboy later reads Johnny's letter.
