The Ugly Cry

Maybe it's hormones. Maybe it's humidity. But lately, I've been experiencing the phenomenon known as, "Bursting into the ugly cry" when I see or hear certain things.

Last week, I was flipping channels and landing on the last 20 minutes of The Color Purple, a movie that is an absolute emotional roller coaster of highs and lows.

As soon as I realized what scene it was, I started crying—much to the dismay of my almost 14-year-old son—the ugly cry. It's when Shug leaves the speak easy, singing "God is trying to you something" and ends up in the embrace of her father. Is it just me?

 

And Miss Celie's blues? Seriously? Such an amazing scene.

 

Remind me again why this film didn't win every Oscar available?

I have asked my daughter, who has never seen this movie, to watch this movie before before she heads off to college. She has agreed. She will need tissues. I guarantee it.

Another scene that never ceases to hit me in the gut? The Forrest Gump Jenny monologe. Even this 23-second clip? I almost can't breathe.

 

There are so many other scenes. Old scenes, like the opera scene from The Shawshank Redpemption; new scenes, like Steve Carrell's speech in Crazy, Stupid Love. I'm such a sucker for a good cry.

This became even more evident when I was watching Pitch Perfect and found myself sobbing when Anna Kendrick breaks into the Simple Minds' "Don't You Forget About Me."

 

So my question for you today: what's your favorite Ugly Cry movie scenes? I'm talking the ones that even if you start to describe them out loud you feel a lump in your throat.

Please. Do tell.

    Steel Magnolias. Sally Field’s dramatic “why” scene in the cemetery at her daughter’s funeral. I could cry just thinking about it.

    Okay, when I saw the image from the Color Purple I almost lost it! In Shawshank it was when the old man was released and trying to understand the world he was in, you knew the letter would end badly, and when Wilson is floating away from Tom Hanks in Castaway his only friend, I felt like I lost a loved one as well. Execution day in the Green Mile. While I could own every movie listed, for me the ugly cry comes when I see these scenes unexpectedly. It’s like the world is fine then you see “God’s Trying to Tell You Something” and the pebble of pain that’s always hanging around the heart is released, the flood gates open. I was having an awesome day – now I feel like someone died!

    It’s great that your daughter will watch it before leaving for college, we all need these references in our lives to blame when someone catches us crying for what seems like no reason later, but if she doesn’t go into the ugly cry then be glad she doesn’t know that type of pain – when you soul aches, and ugly is the only way to get through it.

    LOL… oh Cathy… for me it wasn’t movies as much as just sitting with an old friend whom I seldom see anymore, starting to reminisce and then crying for times gone before that we can’t recapture.
    Thankfully, now it’s just huge goose bumps at tear jerker movie scenes.

    I have to preface my comment with an admission that I am, and have always been, a crier. I cry at the Hallmark ads on TV. With that said, two movies immediately come to mind. The first,a recent one called Hugo. I just felt so sad for the poor, gorgeous little boy, and happy, too. I cry for all reasons.

    The ‘worst’ movie for the ugly cry for me was an old one called ‘Who Will Love My Children?’ I can remember having to pause that movie many times so I could catch my breath. I think the last time I watched that movie was 25 years ago and I can feel my eyes welling up just thinking about it.

My new favorite is the scene in We Bought a Zoo when Matt Damon finally looks at the pictures on his computer. Holy hell – even my handsome husband ugly cries at this one.

    Amy K took the words outta my mouth with Steel Magnolia’s, so lets go further back in movie history.

    How about the scene in Stella Dallas when Barbara Stanwyck watches her daughter get married, through a window, in the rain.

    Or about a dozen scenes in Random Harvest, but most especially the final scene when Greer Garson goes back to the little house and Ronald Colman is there. Get me a tissue.

    And I can’t forget, I went to see Up! with my mom and sister not long after my dad passed away and the part where Ellie dies and all the memories! Seriously, an animated movie should NOT make a girl cry.

    I’m a crier. I hate it, but it’s true. Drop of the hat happy cry, sad cry, ugly cry, laughing cry. Sheesh. I could probably find something to cry at in most movies.

    Bridge to Terebithia is another one – although the book more than the movie. I think I’m too mad at them for messing with the book to get on too good of a cry at the movie.

    I agree with many of the above. But the movie that probably does me in the worst is Schindler’s List. I adore that movie, but oh man. I remember seeing it in the theater. The scene at the end where you see the red coat. I realized I hadn’t even processed that the film was black and white until THAT moment. Then I realized what that coat meant. And I bawled….ridiculously.

    I agree with so many of the above scenes!! My current “guarantee to trigger the ugly cry” is “Les Miserables”. The end when Jean Valjean dies & his spirit is greeted by the bishop & you hear Fantine singing, “Take my hand / And lead me to salvation / Take my love / For love is everlasting / And remember the truth that once was spoken: / To love another person is to see the face of God.”
    Then when they are all singing on the barricade the final “Do You Hear the People Sing”…well, my shirt is usually wet from all the tears streaming down my face…every time!

(How do people in the Pacific Northwest do it?) Anyhow, my first real cry when watching a movie is the death scene in “Terms of Endearment*. I saw this with my aunt and she had to sit with me afterwards to calm me down. And the scene in “Shawshank Redemption” that a poster mentioned above. Gets me teary-eyed just thinking about it. 🙁

We’re sitting there bawling, and all three boys are looking at us like we’re nuts. We agreed it was truly the first episode in what will be a long tradition of embarassing our children.

    Oh boy. Big ugly cry over movies/tv shows is my middle name, seriously. It’s a big family joke around here. I have watched “Ghost” exactly once. Why? Because the first time had me sobbing so hard and so long that I nearly hurled and gave myself a 2-day migraine. “Steel Magnolias”? Again, once and done.

    I’m a huge “The West Wing.” I routinely watch episodes from all 7 seasons. We’re talking nearly daily here. I often finding myself mouthing the dialogue along with the actors. There are a handful of episodes I routinely avoid because, despite watching them nearly a dozen times each, I can pretty much be guaranteed a big ugly cry while watching them again. In fact, I can barely watch any episode season 7 (its final season), but the one were they have “Leo” die because the actor John Spencer had actually died and the final episode are just too hard to watch.

    One of my daughter’s “childhood” memories will be of coming down the stairs the night the last episode aired and finding me sobbing even before the first scene was over. Sobbing, big ugly, gulping for air sobbing. She was 12. Seriously, she brings it up once or twice a year!

    The fact that I can be sobbing over a simple commercial…well, that should help give you the whole picture 😛

    The Color Purple in its entirety keeps me a bit weepy. I caught it on Sunday and had to change the channel to keep from getting very emotional. The opening credits when Ceclie comes out of the sunflower patch pregnant, you know what is going to happen next. The entire move, just simply awesome. I share your sentiment about that movie not winning A SINGLE OSCAR. Whoopi should have won the statue for this one instead of Ghost–everyone was robbed with this one!

    Another I caught just recently is Jerry McGuire–forgot how good this one is. The relationship between Cuba Gooding Jr. and Regina King (Rod and Marcy) is awesome–warms my heart.

Her 15 year old son finds the key, and goes to see what is in this locker. When he opens the door, it is FILLED with a car, and all wrapped presents. All with notes on them from her, for his different birthdays, holidays, and life events (graduation, marriage, etc), that she will miss when she is gone. My GOD, the scene still haunts me, and I cried uncontrollably when I first saw it and even now if I think about it.

    My Sister’s Keeper. Oh my gosh. We were all bawling. Others that made me cry – Hotel Rwanda made both my hubby and me cry just thinking about the hopelessness and the human spirit. The part in Jesus of Nazareth where Jesus’ mother is at the foot of the cross and it’s pouring, just throws back her head in grief in the rain and just wails. I was sobbing into a dish towel. Anyone who is a mother would do the same! Same for the opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan – it all came out thinking about it from a mother’s perspective. ET has always made me cry, ever since I first saw it in 1985. Even Bambi and Up! Did it for me. I must be a sappy soul.

    Know you asked for movies, but a Quantum Leap TV episode – MIA – makes me totally “ugly cry.” General plot is that Al [a hologram in our world] was a POW for many years. His wife, Beth, painfully decided to have him declared dead so she could move on with her life. The last scene is where Beth and Al “dance” together to “Georgia” sung by Ray Charles. Al’s line to Beth: “I want you to wait for me, Beth. Don’t give up, honey. ‘Cause I’m alive out there… and I’m only alive because of our love… And someday… Oh, Beth… someday, I’m gonna come back home to you.”

    As for movies – besides Sense & Sensibility & Up:
    Casablanca where Rick is reading Ilsa’s letter to him;
    WALL-E;
    Roman Holiday when Audrey leaves Gregory Peck & then the ending when they go on with their separate lives;
    Waterloo Bridge [poor Vivien Leigh]
    Queen Christina at the end of the movie

When she goes back to her parents’ house and gets into bed with her mom…and the whole redemption theme, and the 80’s music. No matter how often I watch it, I love it and bawl like crazy. 😀

    I tend to cry more at happy than sad–don’t know why that is. The final scene in Mr. Holland’s Opus, where all of his students from 30+ years of teaching show up to perform his unpublished symphony, and he realizes that he has had a profound effect on so many, many people and that far from being a failure as a composer, he was instead a towering success of a man as a teacher–well, that gets me every time.

    Oh geez there are just so many!! The one besides “Steel Magnolias'” that comes to the forefront of my mind is “Marley and Me”, right at the part where they are at the vet. I have tried so many times to watch that movie without crying and it gets me every single time. The first time I saw it was the Christmas before my parents put their beloved Boxer, Copper, down. Since then I just bawl every time. Now that I have two dogs of my own it’s even harder and I forbid myself from watching it. I also cry the ugly cry during “Soul Surfer” when Bethany is talking to her dad on the beach, and the movie “My Sister’s Keeper” when the father sees his daughter all dressed up and she asks, “Do I look pretty Daddy?” and he can’t really answer. Ok I need to stop now and go get some Kleenex.

    Also, Fried Green Tomatoes has 3 or 4 good crying scenes.
    The ugliest cry I ever had during a movie was Schindler’s list. I didn’t have any kleenex with me, so let’s just say by the time I left the theater my sweatshirt needed to take a turn in the dryer. The scene where they make the old man with one arm shovel and because he can’t they shoot him…Oh goodness…my (Jewish) grandfather had one arm and that scene sent me over the edge. My husband (boyfriend at the time) kept asking me if I was okay!
    So many of the movies listed above make me weepy…let’s face it, I’m the type of person who cries when I’m angry (especially at myself), so a movie, tv show, or even commercials (!) will make me cry.

    Imitation of Life (with Lana Turner) – mom wanted us to learn about racism: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052918/reviews
    The funeral scene at the end is so sad, that we would cry uncontrollably, and hours later still have the “crying hiccups” (where you are breathing funny).

    And Madame X (again with the Lana Turner): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060645/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl

    Oh SWEET JESUS..I can’t even begin to list the movies (and/or commercials) that put me in a tail spin of deep sobbing. And believe me, once the flood gates are open, it’s impossible to stop. Just to name a FEW: The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Dead Poets Society, The Gladiator, Patriot…I could go ON ANA ON and another one: Now mind you, I am not a big animal lover but OMG the movie Marley and Me had me bawling as well. And ANYTHING related to Cancer I pretty much either turn off and throw everyone out of the room so I can bawl like a baby!

    Your timing is impeccable! I was just weeping in public this past Sunday night. I went to a GoGo’s/B52s concert with my husband and teen son just looking forward to dancin’ and good fun. The GoGo’s came on stage first and almost the minute they started playing I started weeping.

    These women, these old women ROCKED. I was overcome by how fierce and powerful and talented and gorgeous they were and that time had not diminished any of that. (I’m getting teary eyed just typing this.)

    Maybe it’s hormonal — PMS on top of Peri-menopause hormones. I don’t know. At any rate, I was embarrassed and thought I must be the only one crying in this audience and I didn’t want anyone to see my tears even my son and husband because it’s weird, right?

    So thanks for writing this post and thanks for all the people who responded and shared their stories, because I see I’m not the only one. (Yes I cry in movies too. Most recently I cried during Pitch Perfect! Any movie with women kickin’ ass makes me cry.)

    I cry at quite a few of the movies mentioned. The last time we watched Up, my 6 yr old daughter didn’t really understand the beginning and asked me about it. I had to try and explain it to her through my tears.

    The Help is another big one for me. I listened to the audiobook first and just sobbed through the last half hour or more. The movie got the feel of it just right and I lost it at the end.

    Lately, everything makes me cry. Even 007 in Skyfall when “M” dies and there is a tear falling down his gorgeous cheek. Might have something to do with the emotional roller coaster I am in with hormones (48 years old now) and the fact that I have to say goodbye to all three of my sons in two short months. All three will be in university next year, and it is not the just the pain of an empty bank account for four years, but also the empty house, the empty hugs, the empty fridge, the empty pantry, and the empty hole in my heart as they leave on this next stage of their lives.

    I’ve never been much of a cryer, but the last 6 months or so, that seems to have changed. I cried like crazy in “Up” and recently started watching “Over the Hedge” and cried at how mean they all were to the turtle who was trying to protect them 🙁

    It’s funny… I watched Titanic when I was about 14 or so, and thought it was pretty standard when Jack died… I bet if I watched it now, I’d cry too!

    I live in a total geek house – of which I’m one. So for me, it’s Star Wars Episode III – the last one of the new ones. I’ve seen it once in the theater and I’ll never watch it again. I started crying an hour before anything bad happened – anytime Anakin and Padme were together. You just knew that he was going to betray her and break her heart. She literally dies of a broken heart at the end! Oh my god, I’m tearing up just writing this. Must stop.

My dad died when I was 13. It hit way too close to him. I was the only of of the 5 of us crying. One of my friends didn’t get the ending at all. But that’s life – you have to just keep going and have some sense of normalcy at some point.

    We watched “Silver Lining Playbook” last night. I don’t want to wreck it for those who have not seen it …. but the dance competition and the following scenes …. I could not hold it together.

    Here are two that go way back.

    “Love Story” – The scene when Oliver crawls in Jennifer’s hospital bed is just too much to take.

    “The Champ” – I think I needed a paper bag because I started to hyperventilate when the little boys cries out, “Wake up, Champ! You can’t go to sleep now! Wake up!” I get teary just thinking about it.

    The Green Mile and the Shawshank Redemption.

    And Million Dollar Baby. Wow, that hit me hard!

    To tell the truth, I cry from everything. I think it’s an ST thing, because my NF boyfriend never cries. He says it’s because he has the movie all wrapped up before he gets to the cry parts, and doesn’t get caught by a surprise.

    Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
    Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
    Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
    Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

    Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
    Scribbling on the sky the message ‘He is Dead’.
    Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
    Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

    He was my North, my South, my East and West,
    My working week and my Sunday rest,
    My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
    I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

    The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
    Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
    Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
    For nothing now can ever come to any good.

When she goes to the front porch and sees both the priest and the sheriff get out of the car and take off their hats, she collapses because she knows how bad the news is going to be.

    But two I haven’t seen mentioned are:
    “It’s A Wonderful Life” – the final scene when George comes home and Mary arrives with all the residents of Bedford Falls!
    And “Notting Hill” – the last scenes where Will realizes he shouldn’t have refused Anna and his friends rush him to the press conference!
    Both films trigger a deluge of tears – but happy ones!

Oh man, I was sobbing into a dishtowel. The other is the opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan when all those young men were just sitting ducks as they got off the boats – really got to me.

    Sorry I posted twice – couldn’t find my first one, so posted again because I thought I did it wrong! duh! But I thought of another one – Brian’s Song made me really cry when I was a kid.

    Not sure if it’s already been mentioned but Pearl Harbour is another. Tears streaming down my face when the lights came on.

    Yep. That movie was the very first movie I cried at, and I was 10. I had forgotten about it until a reader posted it.

    I <3 West WIng and am thrilled that Netflix has the entire series now. The one that jumps to my mind is the Stakhouse Filibuster. "My question is in 22 parts and might take quite a while. Perhaps you might like to sit and have some water while I ask it."

    Here’s an old one…On Golden Pond…when Jane Fonda tells her father that she wants to be his friend. And I’ve never seen “Up” but from the posts I’ve read here, I’m not going to watch it!!

    I think at least one other person said this, but the end of Toy Story 3. Tears well up in my eyes just thinking about it. Andy driving away and looking back at his toys. My kids think I’m a lunatic that I cry every. single. time. It’s ridiculous. But of course I’m always watching with them, which I think makes it worse!

    Marley & Me, I love the movie but I’m not sure why I put myself through it when I know the ugly cry is on the way at the end when he is at the vet with the dog & he makes the decision to have him put to sleep. Choaking, blubbering tears streaming down my face every time. I usually need to just go to sleep after watching that movie, emotionally exhausted.

    I was just going to post this as we watched this the other night. I KNEW what was coming and still got weepy. And actually, the entire movie where he talks to Ellie, just gets me.

    Oh wow, I had forgotten about this. That entire movie made me weepy because it’s the first one I had ever seen with Asian-American characters, so a lot of it rang true in a way other movies hadn’t.

    Finding nemo !! My daughter loves that movie always at the end I cry ! I think it’s just the whole moral of our children growing up trying to shelter them and realizing that we have to let go and let them grow up and prey that we have raised them right !

    The all time movie that made me cry in too many scenes to mention is The Power of One with Morgan Freeman and Stephen Dorph. It’s brilliant and one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.

    I’m a huge geek and Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan kills me ever time at the end when Spock says “I have been, and always shall be, your friend”. The new Star Trek in theaters now made me cry too, but it’s not the same as the impact of the original.

    The first one I thought of was Sweet Home Alabama when Reese Witherspoon’s character is in the pet cemetery apologizing to the dog for leaving him.

    I’ve never commented before but your Color Purple story was enough to make me break my silence. Once when I was home from undergrad, I stayed up late watching TV and came across The Color Purple, which I had already seen and read and loved. And of course, there are multiple moments when you just have to sob during the story. So there I am in the middle of the night, probably around midnight or 1am, bawling my eyes out and my mother comes home from the late shift and walks in and catches me. Of course, at first she is worried, but then I explain that I’m really fine, I’m just watching The Color Purple, to which she looks at me, then looks at the TV, and then asks, “why?!” Clearly she thought I was torturing myself. Hahaha. Another one that does that to me every time is Steel Magnolias…oooh, and Fried Green Tomatoes….and The Fox and the Hound. Apparently I’m a sucker for friendship movies.
