Nicole Kidman Recalls Movie That Brought Her To Tears
We all have our favorites - that movie that makes your eyes puff up and your tissue box run empy. For Nicole Kidman it was Breaking The Waves, a movie starring Emily Watson. Nicole was SO MOVED by the performance that she canceled her plans for the rest of the day and just cried and cried.
"I saw that film and I was supposed to go out to dinner afterward. I had to cancel dinner. I went home, got into bed, curled up in a ball, and cried. I don’t know why I had such a profound, deep reaction to that film, but I did. It disturbed my spirit."
I have so many of those - The Joy Luck Club, Beaches, Click and Titanic to name a few. I have one more that I saw recently that I was HYSTERICAL OVER. I can't remember it!! I emailed my husband to see if he can think of the name. I could barely speak after watching it and the name has completely escaped me. UGH.
Let's share - what are your tear jerkers?
Braveheart. Always Braveheart. It's the only movie that's ever made me cry....and I sob like a baby everytime I see it.
Terms of endearment The way we were
Dead man walking was utterly depressing and made me cry. And Hilary and Jacky, also with Emily Watson.
Good Will Hunting
Good Will Hunting
The English Patient. I felt like I needed therapy after watching that movie.
Steel Magnolias. Titanic. The Color Purple. Terms of Endearment. Bambi.
Definately Steel Magnolias, also Fried green tomatoes with Kathy Bates
A River Runs Through It and Rent.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. We had to stay in the theater 30 extra minutes after it was over because I couldn't compose myself!
StepMom, just saw it this weekend so it's the 1st one that comes to mind, but I'm a cry-baby so I cry over a lot of movies.
Any movie where a good character dies or someone finds true love after a lot of heartache.
Bridges of Madison County, I've got a lump in my throat just thinking about it Also, the Piano for different reasons
I agree, seeing Harvey Keitel naked has that effect on me as well.
Steel Magnolias and Legends of the Fall come to mind right away.... Oh, and My Girl!
Yup! Both of those for me too, add Fried Green Tomatoes, Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and Terms of Endearment, and I've got myself a little cryathon right there.
These movies have made me weep copiously: Babe (a general personal rule: if a movie has a talking animal in it, I'm bound to at LEAST choke up a few times during the film), Steel Magnolias, Forrest Gump, ET, The English Patient, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Big Fish, etc. And the last movie that made me nearly have a breakdown was Away from Her -- the movie where Julie Christie plays an Alzheimer's victim and Hal Holbrook watches her get worse and worse. Okay. I'm gonna watch Borat and Austin Powers now, thanks!
Click?! With Adam Sandler??? Are you serious? Maybe you cried because it was an incredibly dumb movie? I'm baffled.
I'm with Vera on this - I cried watching "Click" too!
The Notebook, Braveheart, Beaches and Fried Green Tomatoes -- they all had my crying like a baby!!
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - I cried pretty much non-stop throughout the entire movie.
father of the bride
Ernestine, you are so funny!
I agree with a lot of the above movies - I'm such a baby! I'm going to also say that I balled like a baby while reading 'Smoke Jumper' by Nicholas Evans. Recommend it.
Somewhere in Time. I cry uncontrollably.
that one makes me sob and sob. it ranks right up there with Terms of Endearment
I forgot: Boy's don't cry! Man, I was supposed to go out for dinks after that but I went home crying instead.
First one that comes to mind - Brides of Madison County - that scene where Meryl is sitting in the pickup in the rain gets me every time!
The NOTEBOOK!
The movie "Dad" with Jack Lemmon, Ted Danson, Olympia Dukakis, Kevin Spacey & Ethan Hawke. OMG that was a tearjerker!
