no genres specific criteria and animated
movies are as in contention as
live-action dad a spoiler warning is
also in effect as we’re touching on the
moments of the films that pull at the
heartstrings number 10 my girl
to begin a movie that sees macaulay
culkin as far removed from that home
alone kid as possible what you think of
me my girl is a coming-of-age tale with
more emotional strain angst and
confusion than the average preteen tale
Veda played by Anna Chlumsky hasn’t
enjoyed a standard upbringing she never
knew her mother her homes a literal
funeral parlor and she’s turning out
tomboy so fair nothing happens to boys
tokens Thomas J character sees her as
best friend material though and the to
battle life’s torments together bears is
a story as uplifting as it is
devastating due to tragedy and we just
can’t hold back our tears
number nine Old Yeller if there’s one
thing that’s guaranteed to make the
majority cry its animals and especially
dogs Old Yeller is one of Disney’s best
remembered live-action pictures and with
good reason
try it again sister no y’all robust
you’re wide open detailing the story of
the Coates family in Texas and more
specifically of Travis the son this
film’s main character is the master door
after which it’s named Old Yeller
fulfills expectations in becoming
Travis’s best friend but his story does
not necessarily pan out as might be
predicted no mama there’s no hope for
him now Travis there’s a life lesson
here but it’s very hard to take number
eight Brian’s song a TV movie next but
one that was so successful it was tried
at the theater as well Brian’s song
takes us to the football field and to a
desperate story of success cut short man
you talking about a white man and a
black man ruined to galantine what’s
never been done before James Caan’s
Brian piccolo and Billy Dee Williams
Gale Sayers our budding athletes looking
to make it in the big leagues a lot more
than that the pair develops a fierce
friendship amid their rise to the top
but their professional contracts are put
firmly in perspective as disaster
strikes we just got a call to the
hospital Brian piccolo has cancer this
is a hard-hitting football film but not
in the conventional way and it looks
like
you might never play football I can’t
number seven Titanic
Jack Dawson will still be big hit a huge
cinematic production James Cameron’s
Titanic achieved a balance between
expensive and emotional
appropriately bedded in historical fact
the Hollywood elements of this film
make for the tarriest of times there are
just so many moments in this movie that
might set us off you’re gonna get out of
here you’re gonna go on and you’re gonna
make lots of babies watch him grow of
course
the Jack and Rose narrative is what
catches most attention but the clips and
snippets of other unfortunate passengers
are what really bring the disaster home
we’re always acutely aware that it’s
based on true events and that’s why we
cry number six philadelphia what happen
even face I have AIDS universally
recognized as one of Hollywood’s most
important movies in recent times the
story of Andrew Beckett is impossible to
sit through and remain dry eyed Andrew
Beckett is dying Philadelphia tackles
issues related to homosexuality
homophobia and AIDS with honesty as it
demands that its audience open their
eyes forget everything you’ve seen on
television and in the movies parts of
this film make for uncomfortable and
difficult viewing but such as the
emotional intensity that at times tears
are inevitable
I’m ready a film for which Tom Hanks won
his first Oscar it was an award well
earned
number five the notebook a good chick
flick can force a fountain of Tears and
for no film is that more true than the
notebook pairing Rachel McAdams and Ryan
Gosling together this is a movie that’s
both easy on the eye and easy on the cry
the shallow cinema goer will see two of
Hollywood’s most attractive but by the
closing credits the lump in one’s throat
has comprehensively replaced the lust in
one’s mind do you think a story that
spans a lifetime it will stick in your
memory for just as long
I’ll be seeing you number four Hachi a
dog’s tail Hachi Hachi like that a 2009
remake of the 1987 Japanese movie with
Hachi we head back to howling our eyes
out over a hound what Marley and me
might have been considered as the most
tearful of its type
but this dog’s tail just trumps it
Richard Gere takes the lead role as were
shown an unlikely friendship arising
between his professor Parker character
and the titular Hachi what ensues is a
story of love and loyalty that will move
everyone even if you’re more of a cat
person
number three Bambi I think I’ll call him
then another Disney effort and the only
animated movie to make our countdown
upon its release Bambi was pioneering
proof that a cartoon could jerk tears
just as triumphantly as a live-action
film good morning young prince it’s nigh
on impossible not to root for this cute
character and it’s equally as difficult
not to sob over a story
Bambi’s as curious as he is inquisitive
as he is lacking in confidence
he’s the romantic underdog who surely do
a break but life is cruel to Bambi his
childhood is lonesome at times
intimidating at others and always an
emotional watch your mother can’t be
with you anymore
number two Schindler’s List list isn’t
absolute good

had love we’ve had disaster for our top
two we are focusing on bravery some days
