First movie you ever cried in - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I can remember the first two.

Both movies I saw when I was about 8 years old.

Pinochio. When Gepeto is kneeling at the foot of the bed crying, because his beloved Pinochio was swallowed by the whale, and the the fairy with her magic wand tapped Gepeto on the shoulder and told Gepeto he was a good man and brought Pinochio to life,my eyes swelled.

Boys town. Mickey Rooney as Whitey leaves Boys town and Father Flannigan, played by Spencer Tracy, and vows never to return. Whitey returns with tears in his eyes and tears came to my eyes also.

technically not a movie, but I remember watching the Velveteen Rabbit in kindergarten and being shaken up by it. Still can't watch that-lol

"Imitation of Life". Oh man I bawled at the ending.

The first movie I ever cried at was Indian in the Cupboard. Actually I cried at two different parts when Little Bear shot the cowboy with an arrow and the cowboy almost died and at the end when Omri had to let Little Bear go home Omri was so sad cause he didn't want him to go and that just made me cry.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape. What made it really sad was that my mother was obese at the time. It also didn't help that there were times when I got upset thinking about what would happen if my parents were gone. She got the gastric bypass in 2003 so I now have absolutely no worries about her health in that regard.

well i don't remember crying during any movies but the one that i remember the most that made me really really close to crying was when i was 12 i saw da passion of christ in theathers. it was really sad!

Rocky 4, when Apollo got killed in the ring by the big Russian dude. It was just too much for my six year old eyes to take.

Four that come to mind are classics that I seen at home that made me ball were:

1931's The Champ Wallace Beary and Jackie Cooper-The ending was powerful where The Champ died and his son is crying over him powerful

1938's Boys Town-Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney-The part where Peewee wants to follow Rooney and Rooney is telling him to get lost and Peewee is crying and then he gets hit by a car. Rooney runs to him and is crying over him.

1962's-What Happened To Baby Jane-Bette Davis and Joan Crawford-Powerful acting. I cried when Davis was seemingly kicking Crawford, I thought she was going to kill her.

The Notebook-The ending got to me, it hit home cause my Mom has Alzheimer's.

Forgot all about the champ. To me, Wallace Berry was one of the most underrated, best actors I ever saw. Even Coogan as the kid was great, with his expression looking up to his father. Yes, in my top ten favorite movies of all time.

Another small budget, real tear jerker was biscuit eater, the story of a boy and his dog and how the love he has for his animal. Man, you could swell up on that one.

While not sad flicks, also in my top all time favorites, are 12 angry men, what a cast, inherit the wind, with Tracy and March. What acting! I would be remiss if I didn't include the original King Kong. Robert Armstrong's voice was so compelling.

I may be old school but they don't make movies the way they used to.

Here is something to think about. I love the crime and mysteries from the 30's and 40's, in particular the B stuff. Have tons and tons. My very favorite series and only 3 were made by this pair, all in the 30's, were the Hildegarde Withers mysteries. A spinster school teacher who teams up with Inspector Piper, played by James Gleason to solve murders. Wit, charm, great acting and supense. My only wish is they made more. The star Edna Mae Oliver signed a contract with a major studio and did no more.

Great all around talent, could do it all. For fluff, the Hardy series, which he starred with Lewis Stone were fun to see.

His love of women was his downfall. Looked funny matched up with Ava Gardner, a siren of her era. He was short and she tall, and in pictures together they looked strange. What was he married 7 or 8 times? I guess the screen wasn't the only place he was a great performer.
