I was watching “The Patriot” the other day, and I noticed that one scene makes me cry without fail. I don’t cry at most movies, but a few always cue the waterworks.
1. The Patriot: when Susan runs after Benjamin begging him not to leave again
2. Armageddon: when Harry grabs the detonation device and then tells Grace goodbye.
3. Miracle: who doesn’t cry watching capitalism defeat communism?
4. We Are Marshall: just the whole movie. This came out the year after April 16th. The school-wide tragedy hit me really hard.
5. Remember the Titans: the team sings “Goodbye” to Gary
6. A Walk to Remember: the last ten minutes of this movie are spent sobbing
7. Finding Neverland: another sad movie end
8. Up: holy crap, did the first 8 minutes of this one make me cry. I was crying so hard, I woke up Mac the first time I watched it.
9. Gladiator: “Who will help me carry him?” Ughh. Lucius, 8 year olds shouldn’t make me cry.
10. Steel Magnolias: the ultimate scene has Sally Field screaming in agony about the unfairness of life that caused her to bury her daughter. The gut-wrenching sobs are broken up by Clairee telling Ouiser to let M’Lynn hit her to do her part for humanity. Laughing through tears.
What movie scenes always make y’all cry?
YES to Up and definitely Remember the Titans. Both are such good movies!!
I cry during all of these scenes too – such powerful emotions!
I’ve seen all those except the patriot, gladiator, and miracle.

Yes to basically all of these.
UP gets me every time! I just can’t handle it.
Aaaannnd now I’m bawling. These are such great movies (even though most of them have made me cry my eyes out at least a time or two).
I suck at movies, and the only one I’ve ever seen on this list is UP. 500 times… And I still cry every single time.
I cry so easily while watching movies that it’s ridiculous. The last really, really heavy cry was after watching Marley and Me. NEVER AGAIN.
Definitely A Little Princess. The scene at the end where Sara’s father doesn’t recognize her gets me every time!
