100 Greatest Tearjerkers

[Man of Harveys]

Anyone else watch this surprisingly-enjoyable girly blubfest of screen and telly last night? I've never cried at a film but I'm still not entirely sure about ET winning - Casablanca is probably my most stirring film of the lot, put it that way.

So, which ones have had you lot blubbing? Kramer vs Kramer or Carry On Up The Khyber?

 

[Kaney]

Where did Gareth Southgate come?

 

[Digweeds Trousers]

over your face

 

[Titanic]

A knee in the balls always does it for me.

 

[Lush]

Was the "And Smith Must Score" moment in there?

 

[Starry]

Where did Gareth Southgate come?

39th.

My Girl and the Green Mile are the only two from that that can make me blub.

Didn't see it, was watching Oceans Eleven on ITV and was waiting for the big twist at the end....which didn't really happen...unless I missed it (them being the SWAT team?!?)

But not to take the thread off topic, despite being 6ft 2" of solid beefcake I'll cry at absolutely everything and hate it when the house lights come up at the end of a weepy at the cinema and my red eyes are there for all to see. My two worst blubs to date are the end of 'Schindler's List' where he says he could have saved more lives etc. and the end of 'The Bridges of Madison County'. Blokes should be more willing to admit to crying at flicks but unfortunately it ain't socially 'acceptable' even in 2005.

i watched it and ET always makes me cry. the green mile to.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Black Emanuelle brought a tear to my eye. There's something about two lesbians rutting in the mud that makes me well up.

also forrest gump and watership down

 

[JJ McClure]

I didn't watch it as I was also watching Ocean's Eleven. The only film I remember shedding a tear during was Dance's With Wolves. For some reason I found it quite upsetting when they shot the wolf, big girls blouse that I am.

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

I only saw one as I changed channel. Rolf Harris and the macho lorry driver blubbing in each others arms after they are told that the man's dog is to be put down.

Poor Flossie.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Not on that last night, but when there are documentaries on kids who are bullied, that always gets to me.

 

[Silent Bob]

The Green mile had me close

 

[Man of Harveys]

The homeless bloke from the running 7-Up documentary was pretty grim - bright-eyed perky little kid, tramp in the middle of nowhere in his 30s.

 

[CHAPPERS]

ET isn't sad, it's quite happy at the end I thought. He finally gets to go home as has been his mission throughout the whole film.

The Green Mile and Bambi were up there tough, which is nice. I thought some of the 'experts' on there were pretty good.

My sister knows the kid who wanted to be a jockey from that prog. He's now a London black cabbie. I think most of the people from that show are either dead, insane or on large quantities of valium and anti-depressants.

 

[Braders]

no snoopy come home ?

 

[Benny Seagull]
