The Color Purple. Both the book and the film make me bawl like a baby! :(

Yep, the one with Bruce Willis.

The ending always gets me and I can't make it through without streams of tears down my face. But the movie is really good so then it is okay.
This!! I can't help myself, the moment "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" starts I become a mess. The same thing happens with "Les Miseràbles", at the very end, when Fantine starts singing to Valjean. I don't even have to see the whole movie, just that bit and I'm done for.

Am tearing up, just because you asked.

I need a minute, here.

It was called,..THE BODYGUARD FROM BEIJING. Yes, it is Chinese. But the emotion.

I cry like a baby at Disney cartoon movies. I love the music and how everything comes together. There isn't a movie that didn't move me to tears (not to mention Lion King, I sobbed like a baby)

I cried a little for the If I Stay by Gayle Forman, not so much for the movie though I still found it really touching. Another is Now Is Good, which I found a lot more painful to watch than The Fault In Our Stars because the former went through the whole process of her dying than skimming over it like in the latter.

I did, when I recently read the text Geraldine by Aristone and saw Super 30 (Hindi). Both are about love but different. One about loving your girlfriend wholeheartedly and with complete acceptance of her condition and the second about following your heart and working under all odds to do what you believe in.

When I was a kid and they made us read Bridge to Terabithia, I definitely cried.
And then watching the movie, it gets me EVERY time. I can't wait it without crying even though I know what happens. Definitely a year jerking story.

I vaguely remember crying when I read the last Harry Potter book. But just barely because I usually cry for movies instead of book.

I know it's cliché but the movie that I cried every part of it is Avengers Endgame. I haven't cry when I read yet maybe because I'm not a big fan of dramatic book, however, I will try to read one of them one day.

I cried for both the book and movie versions of The Green Mile by Stephen King. They're not that sad but the hit me a special way.

I cried at the book and movie version of Homeward Bound... My fiance literally just put on the last scene while I was driving and I instantly started sobbing.

Usually anything with an emotional scene with animals will get my eyes watering.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” HST

Two books/movies that made me cry are The Hate U Give and Me Before You. Obviously for two different reasons but despite the difference in the source of sorrow both were extremely touching and moving in very similar ways.

I may cry when watching a movie, but words alone are not enough for me to shed tears so a book won't make me cry.
People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.
