In the recent round of posts, I note several people mentioning Toy Story 3.

 

But, I'll nominate the only film which has ever made my cry in a movie theater:  Toy Story 2.

Almost 200 posts so I'm sure every possible tearjerker film has been covered.

 

I just wanted to say that the title of this thread is just so very, very wrong.

 

I'm sorry, but I've seen this thread pop up on top so often I had to say, well, something.

I was shocked to see that AWAKENINGS did nt appear on any of the lists .........its the most depressing movie I ve ever seen ..Of course, The Green Mile, Million Dollar Baby are a few movies that have every right to be called Tearjerkers

Geez,

 

  I didn't look at that thread for a while and didn't realize it got so big.

 

  Two (classics) title that are powerful:

 

  THE COLOR PURPLE (Spielberg, 1984). Just saw that on Blu-Ray. "Miss Celia Blues"

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

When Mister redeems himself by paying for the immigration fees.
 

 

 

  The Final Episode of the Last Season of SIX FEET UNDER

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

When we are shown the death of every major characters.

I'm just barely old enough to remember the phenomena of Zefferelli's Romeo & Juliet (1968). That film reduced audiences to tears every time and everywhere it played in every language. You could feel an entire theater of 1,000 people sobbing before you opened the auditorium doors. It happened several times a day everywhere the film played for months. It is easily and by far the most romantic tragedy ever made, Shakespeare or otherwise.

1948  They Live By Night

1949  The Passionate Friends

1949  The Small Back Room

 

1951  The Asphalt Jungle

1953  Shane

1954  Magnificent Obsession

1955  All That Heaven Allows

1955  Ordet

1955  Summertime

1956  Written On the Wind

1959  La Cucaracha (directed by Ismael Rodriguez)

The reviews are unanimous, but don't waste time looking those up.

Everybody has to see this film.

The language is French, the intertitles are English, but the imagery is universal.

Don't think.

Just buy it from Flicker Alley:

You need to see it.
