Category: Let's talk
Couldn't decide whether to post this in books or movies so I just put it here. So, what books or movies have made you cry? Here are mine.
Books: The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman, Silver on the Tree by Susan Cooper, Harry Potter 4 and 5 by J.K. Rowling, A Ring of Endless Light and Many Waters by Madeleine LEngle, and Little Women and Little Men by Louisa May Alcott
Movies: A Walk to Remember, Titanic, In America
Interested in what you have to say.
hi chris nm
Well, right off hand, I can only think of 2 movies that made me cry. Sunshine, and the incredible hulk movie, where David Banner marries the woman who's dying, and she was telling him at the end, how they never gave up trying, and she would miss him, but being the hulk then, he couldn't understand what she was saying.

Oh, let's see. Harry Potter 4, 5 and 6. Intensity, The Horse whisperer, Missing Joseph, Angela's Ashes, Women of Ireland...
Movies: I don't know. The Quiet Man, To Kill a Mockingbird, the book brought me to tears also, Where The red Fern Grows...
Books that made me cry: A Walk TO Remember, The Notebook, Of Mice and Men.
Movies: Daredevil, At First Sight, Autumn in New York, A walk to remember, Titanic, and a lot of other movies. LOL
A lot of books have made me cry -- too many to mention. I read a lot of romance novels, and they often make me cry. I like authors who can make me laugh and cry and then laugh again all in the same book.
The first movie that I thought of when I read this question was Terms of Endearment. I have probably cried at others but can't think of any right now.
Hello interesting topic well as for me the books which did effect me in some way are his dark materials by Philip Pullman, I felt really sorry for the people in the books. He has very interesting ideas. Another one was, I heard the owl call my name by Margret Krayvan. Nothing in the way of moovies.
Anna Sewell's Black Beauty read at 12.I love horses and the ignorance and neglect really upset me.
Braveheart..Randall Wallace.The ending tore me up because as a Scot who was brought up to be proud of my country,just knowing that what i was reading actually happened....The impact was incredible.
LOTR.JRR Tolkien...The never ending struggle of Sam and Frodo in Mordor really touched me, Sam's selflessness and love for Frodo is brilliantly handled,again the ending i dont know how many will agree but im convinced Frodo left with the Elves to die.....
Yeah, Frodo did leave with the elves to die, it's the only thing that makes sense. I think Sam is the real hero of the story, Frodo took on the biggest burden but he essentially was defeated by it but Sam managed to stand up. But the beauty of the story is the message of friendship and selflessness and how it can do the impossible and how people (well creatures, but it applies to us) can overcome anything as long as they stick together. It's a very touching story, at times extremely exciting and I think, without a doubt, the best novel ever written.
hello, well never thought of it like that. Frodo leaving to die quite sad but like you say, the story is quite exciteing and moving at the same time. Though I think there is a bigger picture, besides friendship there are lessons which can be learned such as the bit about not to be eager to deal out judgment.
Hm...let's see. A Walk to Remember, Titanic, The Notebook, Raising Helen, American Beauty, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, City of Angels... Movies...Angela's Ashes, The Bean Trees, No Language but a Cry, Rebecca....
there was a point in the book from the corner of his eye, by Dean koontz, that kind of made me cry. If anyone has read the book, or reads dean Koontz, the part where agnes' husband and she were in that car accident, and he was dying, and he was telling her it had been a good life because of her, that was a real tear jerker.

Though I'm very sensitive, I don't usually cry after something sad, I just feel sad. But I almost cried in Double-Fudge when Uncle Feather crashed into the window! Don't ask me why, especially since that book si for like fifth graders, and I read it when I was in like seventh! I love Fudge, he's my hero lol! kay call me crazy now.
