5 movies that always make me cry

a bit ago some friends posted the 5 movie moments that always make them cry. i was initially inspired to do a similar post myself. however, 3 of my top moments are not on youtube because the movies they belong in are too "independent" and i guess unloved by the general public.

so, i got upset and decided i wouldn't make my own list....

but, thats just silly

so, i came up with a new list (and of course, plenty of honorable mentions).
its impossible for me to narrow down any sort of "favorite" list,
as anyone who really knows me,
knows.

in no particular order. the movie moments that make me cry.
  1. hard to pick just a single moment from these movies. but this would have to be it. also, this clip shows in such a lovely way why i believe in Jesus and have hope, and also cry.                        (for a further elaboration on this subject, see this book by one of my most beloved authors.)
  2. i LOVE this movie. first off, because billy crudup is amazing and always makes me cry in any of his movies. also, few movies are as full of whimsy and fantastical moments as this movie is; what a beautiful moment.
  3. reminds me of my childhood, abi and i would watch this over and over, and even now, i still cry at this part.
  4. this is a classic in our family. every single one of us will cry. 
  5. one of the most beautiful movies ever. who doesn't cry seeing daniel and helen FINALLY be reunited and kiss in the sunset?!?! 
  6. this doesn't just make me cry. it gives me goosebumps. 
honorable mention:
(which is to say, it doesn't sometimes make me cry. no, no, it will always produce tears.
however, its just that the mood i am in today, right now, didn't warrant them being in the top 6.)
  • this movie makes me dream and is full of such beautiful whimsy, this moment is heart wrenching. probably one of my favorite movie scores of all time too...
  • i just want you too, gilbert blythe.
  • in the Patriot when Benjamin is just about to leave after visiting his family on the coast, and Susan runs after her dad saying her first words ever. (again, no clip :( 
  • this scene and also this one remind me why i love football season and men with heart.
the three that would be there if i could find a link for them:
  • The Constant Gardener when justin sees the truth on tessa's laptop for the first time. (this also happens to be my favorite movie of all time, no really, it is.)
  • Walter watching Kitty play piano in The Painted Veil
  • Finding out that Danny died, in A Mighty Heart.
What five (or 6) movies make you cry?

  1. hmm... loveeee this post! Probably going to steal it some day in the near future!! so, I won't tell you just yet which ones make me cry. But, I'd have to agree with you on Remember the Titans and the Lord of the Rings. The other ones, I don't even think I've seen.... besides My Girl 2, obviously. :)
