    I'm a softie but some of the more memorable crying ones:

     Steel Magnolias

    My Sister's Keeper

    Seven Pounds (w/ WIll Smith)

    Toy Story 3

     

    OMG YES. i forgot about seven pounds.

    also, thought of another- i ugly cried BAD over the passion of the christ. never again.

  • Pay it Forward
    Secondhand Lions
    Marley and Me
    Hachi: A Dog's Tale
    Beaches
    The Way We Were
    Dead Poets Society
    Patch Adams
    Schindler's List

    Most of these are older. 

    I know there was one fairly recently that made me ugly cry in the theater, but I cannot remember what it was.

    STEP MOM!

    YES!  Thank you.  I was reading through the post waiting for someone to say it.  Every.Single.Time.

    I also agree with P.S. I love you (ugly, ugly cry) The Notebook, A Walk to Remember and The Family Stone.

    I cry at a lot of movies because I'm awesome like that. Many repeats of the above but off the top of my head, My Girl, Stolen Summer, Steel Magnolias, Big Fish, Up, Philadelphia, About Schmidt. Ummm...the Lion King. :P

    I bawl during the Lion King!

    I'm so glad I'm not alone!!  I cried during that and my sister (7 yrs younger than me) laughed at me!  I'm super sensitive and cry very easily during movies.

    Did anyone else cry at Rise of the Planet of the Apes??  I bawled during it!!

  • My Girl

    Harry Potters 4-7 (once characters started dying, I got super emotional)

    I watched 50/50 last night and was surprised by how emotional it was

    A Walk to Remember

    Titanic (when Rose dies at the end and rejoins everyone who went down with the ship.. gets me every time!)

     

  • Deep Impact

    Ladder 49

    Marley & Me

    and since my mom went through cancer, any movie that has to do with someone dying of a long, drawn-out illness. 

    ETA - The last HP movie, as well as any movie that has to do with 9/11 (United 93, World Trade Center), are guaranteed to ruin me.

    Totally Stepmom. I ugly cry every single time.

    And Toy Story 3, from the point the toys are going into the incincerator to the very end. LOL

    I like privacy. A lot.
  • PS - I Love You is one huge roller coaster of emotion.  OMG, if you think crying ugly in a theater is bad, try doing it on an airplane.  Bad movie choice for a flight!!

    UP - especially the opening montage.  :'(

    Old Yeller - This is probably the first movie I ever cried at, and where an animal dies that just kills me.

    What Dreams May Come - so depressing, but at least the ending makes up for it.

     

  • First of all, I hate this thread.  Now I feel sad.

    I don't cry during movies hardly ever.  Toy Story 1 actually is one of the first I remember making me cry... when Buzz realizes he can't fly... death of innocence and childhood naivity? lame.

    Stepmom, Of Mice & Men, and Marley & Me are all top contenders for me too.

  • I'm an animal lover, so when I recently saw War Horse, my husband thought that I'd have leave the theater.  BAWLING my eyes out, sobbing, having trouble breathing kind of cry. 

    Others of note:

    PS I love you

    Life is Beautiful

    Up

    I've cried at numerous other movies but these are the more memorable ones.      

  • I cannot watch the ending of Forest Gump. I ugly cried so hard at the movies that I had to leave the theater. 
  • I cry fairly easily at movies, but the 3 that made me do the "ugly" cry are:

    The English Patient

    The Green Mile

    Steel Magnolia's

    They are also 3 of my all time favorite movies. LOVE them! :)

  • Marley and Me. x10!

    Even my H cried at this movie. Actually, he was sobbing.

  • imageshadyblue42:
    The Green Mile!!  Every time I watch that movie I bawl my eyes out at the end.

    This was my pick too.  This movie will make anyone cry and the acting is way above par.

  • I Love You Philip Morris.

    Up is definitely an ugly cry movie for me.

  • For any dog lover, Homeward Bound is brutal. I hysterically sob every time.

    Step Mom, P.S. I Love You and Harry Potters 6-7 also get to me.

    I forgot about Homeward Bound. In that same vein, I present for consideration Far From Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog. KILLED ME.

  • I cry pretty easily, but any movie with animals is pretty guarenteed to make me well up. It's a pretty popular joke with my coworkers because one time they saw me start crying when I was watching Happy Feet. Yes, animated movies about penguins almost getting eaten by whales make me cry. Safe to say I won't even attempt Marley & Me or War Horse. 

     

    But some I've seen lately that got me:

    Beginners (up for a supporting actor oscar this year. Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer)

    The Greatest (about a couple who have a teenage son who dies in a car wreck, and his knocked up girlfriend who ends up living with them - Susan Sarandon, Pierce Brosnan, and Carey Mulligan)  

    Bright Star (about poet John Keats and his muse/love - starring Abbie Cornish)

  • Schindlers List-- I can make it through the entire movie without crying but I totally lose it when everyone is placing rocks on the grave.  Its beyond an ugly cry--its a all out hyperventilating cry.

    Field of Dreams

    Forrest Gump

     

    Meine Welt... Meine Welt... Und die Liebe die wird rot Und der Hass schwarz wie der Tod Ich mach' das so wie's mir gef
  • The Fox and the Hound. omg.

    Remember Me

    A Walk to Remember..I cried for HOURS after that movie ended.

    My Sisters Keeper - I cried throughout this one.

     

    If you knew better, you'd do better.

    I was just about to post Field of Dreams! That movie gets me every time.

    I must be an emotional, because I cry at most of the movies already mentioned in this thread. Anything with animals gets to me, most of the sports movies like Remember the Titans or We Are Marshall. Oh and forget about war movies like Band of Brothers (I know, not technically a movie) or Saving Private Ryan. Bawl like a baby.

    Oh man, on a plane?! I got stuck on a bus trip and they showed P.S. I Love You. I had NO idea what it was about and ended up sobbing during the drive home. I wanted to throttle whoever stuck that damn DVD in.

    And yes, add What Dreams May Come to my list! I haven't seen it in forever.

    Add Sophie's Choice to my list. I'm surprised I forgot it, since I only saw it recently. I came across it on TV and asked Facebook friends if I should watch it. Two hours later I wanted to kill every single person who told me to watch it. Sobbed hysterically.

    And add War Horse to the list of movies I refuse to watch. I can tell from the previews that I wouldn't do well.

  • I cry a lot and have cried during more movies than I can count!

    But the automatic top of the list are Terms of Endearment, The Notebook, Steel Magnolias and Beaches. Easy easy winners.

    The Notebook was the only one though that I swore never to watch again because I cried so hard. But DH came home just as I'd finished it and I was crying so hard that it actually made him curious and I watched it once more. Cried the same way all over again. LOL

  • The first ten minutes of "Up" make me sob like no other movie has.  It is so sweet and heartbreaking.  I can't watch it without bawling...I think I scare my kids!
