Could the other hymn be "I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day" ?

By-the-way...LOVE your avatar :)...did you up-date 'your page' ? :D

Actually, it is not a Christmas hymn. I can't think of it...I will look through the hymn book tomorrow...but when I start to sing it I just start to cry uncontrollably. Pretty pathetic. ^_^

Wow, you have all listed some great movies that jerks the tears from the ol' eyes for sure.

But one I remember when I was a wee little lad was called 'Brians Song'

It was about the relationship of the great Chicago Bears running back Gayle Sayers and Brian Piccolo, another running back for Chicago who died of cancer. They were the first Black-White roomates in sports.

I remember after watching this movie I went up to my bedroom and cried like a newborn baby.

Oh and I'm sure Wingers will disagree with me on this one. hahahaha

But The Ultimate Gift was a total tear jerker to me.

That's okay wingers. We all have different tastes and dislikes. I still love it. haha

Oh my stars..... let me see......It might be easier to list the ones that don't make me cry. :)

Let's start with "Lars and the Real Girl" when the girl has to die in the end. Who knew that movie would make me cry?

And then there is "Beaches" with Bet Midler when her best friend dies and she sings "beneath my wings".

Oh....and we can't forget such wonderful movies as "I am Sam" or "Little Women" when she comes down to find the Christmas piano or "Glory" when Denzel takes the whipping.

Heck I cry at everything. I am pretty sure I could add a few Mcdonald's commercials followed by episodes of "Little House on the Prairie".

In the immortal words of Dolly Parton.. ......"Laughter thru tears is my favorite emotion!" :)

Someone mentioned it but Steel Magnolias is another one of my favorites and yes does make me cry every time I watch it.

movies:

Schindler's (sp?) list (that was my pre-LDS life, might be rated R)

Braveheart

Dances with Wolves (I was a kid, but when Cisco (the horse) and Two Socks (the wolf) get shot I bawled my little eyes out, still would if I watched it again today)

and just the other day (my boyfriend laughed at me, but...) I cried at the end of WallE

And as for songs:

I need thee every hour

me and Emily (because I AM Emily)

...or "Little Women" when she comes down to find the Christmas piano...

That scene gets me every time. I also sometimes cry the first time we see Beth's bed empty, when she's better, and also later when she dies in bed while Jo is at the window.

Today, I cried when I watched the link below...

The part with the nail marks in the hand really got me. If You Could Hie To Kolob is one of my most favorite hymns.

I'm not the kind of guy who takes pride in crying or likes to admit it but a movie that really touched me was Million Dollar Baby. The movie is so sad yet a must see movie. When I read the reviews on it some people complained that it was too depressing, too negative, and too "true".

I absolutely love it! It got 4 academy awards. I strongly recommend that others watch this movie.
