Top Tear-Jerkers of All Time
(movies guaranteed to drop a grown man to his knees)
Where the Red Fern Grows (1974) - Anything involving a boy and his dog is destined for that emotional roller-coaster. Old Yeller (1957) - See Where the Red Fern Grows above. Can we please stop talking about boys and their dogs?
It's a Wonderful Life (1946) - I think we've all cried at this one. Watch it during the holidays and share a family member's shoulder. Can't help but shed a tear even though we know it's coming. Away From Her (2007) - Great performances from brilliant actors dealing with a tough subject matter - alzheimer's. A difficult watch... but necessary one.
My Dog Skip - Here's that dog thing again! Sounder (1972) - I read the book, then like a fool, I watched the movie! Why would a man put himself through that again? Stars Cicely Tyson and Paul Winfield as black sharecroppers in Louisiana in the 1930s. Oh yeah....it's about a dog. Imagine that!
Titanic (1997) - The romantic story of rich girl meets poor boy is sure to touch the heart of anyone. Guys beware, it has very high Julia Roberts factor. But on the positive side it sports a high Get Lucky factor. Good luck! Ghost (1990) - A chick flick of the highest order. But if forced to sit through one, just remember...it's better than Mystic Pizza. Stars Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze as they dabble with the afterlife.
Rudy (1993) - Sean Astin's "other" character. RUDY!....RUDY!....RUDY! Please pardon me a moment while I gather myself. We Were Soldiers: An extremely powerful war film that will cause even the strongest alpha male to shed tears. Big Fish (2003) - Although fairly new on the scene, this one's a must see. A tale about a man's relationship with his father. Go see it with your son or your father. [whispered quietly while patting each other on the shoulder] "Now there, there. It's OK....let it go!"
Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) - An interweaving story of women's liberation, racism, love, humor, triumph and tragedy. A powerful bevy of actresses will lead through the gamut of emotions. The Thing About My Folks (2005) - Stars Paul Reiser and Columbo. Another one for a son to watch with his pop. But don't say I didn't warn you! The Day of the Dolphin (1973) - Pha loves Be! And Pha loves Pa too! And you'll fall in love with the cuddly dolphins that star in this oddly endearing little picture. Stars George C. Scott and one of the best cinematic scores ever.
