What Songs or Movies Make You Cry?

[GabyKeepsMeWarm]

I’m a bit of a softy, especially with music and certain films/scenes from films.

And it’s a bit all over the place.

Since my dad died, I can’t listen to My Father’s House by Springsteen, and I’ve never been a big Bruce fan. But I listen to that now, and I’m crushed.

Certain operas/arias bring me to tears.

Transatlanticism by Death Cab is always rough, even if I’m in a great mood. I’ll end up drifting back into some former relationship and it’ll get me misty eyed.

Too many songs bring tears to my eyes for reasons of joy, sadness, yearning, etc…

Here’s a weird one. Superman The Movie. Christopher Reeve. When he grabs Lois and that helicopter(pilots inside) from falling from the roof, I snort cry. I just wish sometimes there was this “miracle man” who could do stuff like that and give us all something to believe in and be so thankful it exists.

Private Ryan, Schindler’s List, Sling Blade…. All crushers…

What do you have?

USA losing to Japan in American Tackle Football will either make me sick or bring a tear to my eye.

The end of Field of Dreams kills me every time. It doesn't matter that it's my favorite movie, and I have seen it hundreds of times, and it doesn't matter if I just watched it, if I watch the ending, I cry. Sometimes I turn it off after Doc Graham saves Karin.

I cannot listen to Piece by Piece without getting emotional. I usually turn the radio to a different song immediately. And if I watch the video of Kelly Clarkson singing it on American Idol, well, it gets embarrassing.

And although I am not a religious person, the song I Can Only Imagine by Mercy Me gets me misty eyed every time I listen to it.

Every time. Rockets red glare...I said dayum...

You know, I see even on this site a bunch of people hating on the singing of the national anthem at sporting events, and I can't understand why. Just watch that video and see the reactions of the crowd. Even as recently as 1991, we were a patriotic nation. Nobody batted an eye at singing the anthem at a ball game.

We've come a long way I guess...

I myself get choked up at the scene in Rudy where he gets the acceptance letter from Notre Dame, The scene in the Passion of the Christ where Mary sees Jesus fall with the cross with the simultaneous flash back to him falling down as a child and her rushing to him...

Cat's in the Cradle gets me almost every time if I really sit and listen to it.

Iffin you wanna start a thread in DC I'd be happy to participate and since I don't want this thread thrown in DC I'll simply say that, IMO, the playing of the national anthem before a sporting event really only makes sense, to me, when two nations are competing against one another on a world stage.

The Olympics, World Cup, and even the NFL games in London I can understand as we are importing that shit and want to put a stamp on it.

Games between teams of American League sports playing one another though? Hard pass as they are not representing the nation... they are just members of a regional team. Just get to the damn game.

Ehh....naaaaaaaaaaah

The national anthem right before a major sporting event is one of the best parts. Love the national anthem. Brings chills when it's sung well. I always stand for it and remove my cap, even if im just in my living room. It's an iconic moment in sports entertainment.

I understand your position. I love many things but that doesn't mean they are an "appropriate" (in the sense of belonging... not that in the sense that it is something bad) way to kick off a sporting event.

Now recently they have taken to playing other "nationalistic" (put in quotations because it is a term that can carry a negative connotation and I want to emphasize that I mean it clinically and not critically) like "God Bless America" as well. I'll go to a political rally to get my fill for that kind of content. I came for the sport.

The opposite doesn't make sense. No one goes to a concert but first has to watch replays of a sporting event.

Maybe if you're watching soccer or women's basketball, but for fans of quality sporting events it only delays the start of the entertainment.

The end of "Saving Private Ryan" is an obvious choice for a tear jerker.

God, Rudy is such a terrible movie. The climax is him playing in a game. Big deal.

there is only one movie that made me cry. The Other Sister. I took my girlfriend of 3 years to see it in theaters. my eyes watered up. and the girlfriend was very cold to me after that. she never looked at me the same as before. its one of my biggest regrets in life. so... that movie still makes me sad, indirectly.

there are lot of songs that can bring a tear to my eye. Life Without You by SRV and Machine Gun by Band of Gypsies do it to me most

Field of Dreams - I saw it about a month after my dad died. That really tore me up.
