If you don't cry at these movies, you have no soul

I know, I know, some of you are not criers. Amanda suggested a blog about having your girl card revoked if you don't cry at certain movies, an idea which I loved. I didn't want to limit it to the ladies, so there are some male friendly movies below. Marley and Me is not on this list, because the mere thought of my dogs dying brings me to tears, so I don't need to watch a movie about it.

These are in no particular order, but number one on my list has to be

My Girl - We saw this on vacation in Ocean City, NJ, on a rainy day. Laura was at one end of the row and I was at the other. In the death scene, someone in the theater was sobbing so loudly, Laura was looking around to see who it was. She looked to the end of the row, and it was me. Loud sobbing in public. Damn you bees.

Terms of Endearment - We were in MFD's parents' basement and it came on. I had never seen it. MFD was like oh, you should watch, it's good. He promptly fell asleep, only to be woken up later by my loud wracking sobs shaking the futon. 

Stepmom - I can't even. I don't even know what to say.

Beaches - A movie about losing your best friend, your female soulmate. Pass the tissues, all of them.

Out of Africa - Just so much loss, of friends, of the farm, of love, of Africa itself. Disregard the colonialism.

Steel Magnolias - Ugly crying at the cemetery scene. Ugly ugly ugly.

Heartburn - This is a punch to the stomach for me, tears of anguish and anger.

The Notebook - I shed tears in multiple places, for multiple reasons. Some may have been because my eyes were burning over Ryan Gosling's hotness, but most were over the story itself.

Dead Poet's Society - O Captain My Captain. Just as they jumped up spontaneously, my tears burst forth spontaneously.

Amageddon - Why can't they all live? Sacrificial death = fat tears.

Rudy - Tell me you did not shed tears when the entire Notre Dame football stadium was on its feet chanting Rudy. I am tearing up just thinking about it. Perseverance and hard work paying off in triumph triggers tears.

What movies turn on your waterworks?
