Tearjerkers

[ajp]

I was surprised to read that Bambi rated as the top Tearjearker movie. There has been some over the years and for that to continue to top the list is a big acheivement.

There is one, that if the reaction from my kids on the weekend is anything to go by, makes Bambi look like a romantic comedy! They went through half a box of tissues watching 8 Below on Saturday night, i wasn't watching (luckily), but watching and listening to them blubber on the lounge, well, I won't say was amusing, but heartfelt at least.

Anyone else got a movie that would rate as a top tearjerker?

Right now EVERYTHING makes me cry I'm glad I stopped watching 8 Below on the weekend, I would have been in hysterics by the sound of it.

I have Old Yella on DVD and have never watched it because I know what happens

Bambi is a good one, but I cry at Beauty at the Beast and a whole lot of other movies. Preggo brain has me right now tho and I can't think of any specific movies

You can't go past the remake of Starsky and Hutch I reckon - the moment when their red Ford Torino goes sailing off the dock and into the water - it bought a tear to my eye But as in all good movies, they get it replaced at the very end - I love happy endings!

yep, I remember bawling my eyes out watching that one... good movie.

And strangely enough, I dont cry when that car goes over the end of the dock... I do remember gasping though,.

Talking about Eight Below - I ran into Della's mum on Saturday - and this is the greeting I got:

"We watched Eight Below last night because you said Disney movies were always happy! Well, they're not!"

Boy - did I get a gob full...

Does the '95 World Cup Final count?

In all seriousness, for some reason the Steve Martin version of "Father of the Bride" gets me every time.

Now I'm pretty sure I mentioned way back when I watched that at the movies that it wasn't one that Della would like. It really does have some sad moments in it.

Its years since I've seen it though ...

I must admit I tend to agree with Greg. Being a father of 2 girls, that movie does hit a spot. Steve Martin has an uncanny knack of being able make an audience laugh with a tear in the eye.

[mushu mama]

I absolutely love Steve Martin movies...I just can't remember the details of that one. Might be time to revisit it now that I'm thinking about it and have the time.

Yep - you are right and I reminded Della of exactly that conversation - but she thought watching it on telly wouldn't be so harrowing as seeing it at the cinema...

I borrowed a copy of Father of the Bride from a friend today so will be giving it the teary test in the next few days....
