Top 10 - Movies That Will Rip Your Guts Out

I'll preface this post by saying that I don't usually watch this genre of movies by choice. That is, i'll usually pick up some crappy Steven Seagal movie before renting something that is a little soft or might start the tearducts roaring into action.

However, this evening I was in the mood so I rented Finding Neverland. Apart from the very end, this was a tremendous movie and I'll admit that my eyes were brimming at one point but dried abruptly with the bench scene finale.

Anyway here's a list of my favorite movies that have brought tears to my eyes. They are all not necessarily your classic tearjerkers and there are many I haven't thought of but these are the ones that came to mind each with scenes that will Rip Your Guts Out

1. The Cure - saddest movie I have ever seen. The sneaker scene, absolutely brutal.

2. Ghost - I cannot listen to Unchained Melody anymore.

3. White Squall - "1, 2, 3 wake up. 1, 2, 3 wake up" Great scene.

4. Gorillas in the Mist - Slaughter Scene

5. Dying Young - Julia is the best crier in show business

6. Forrest Gump - "You died on a Saturday"

7. Old Yeller - No explanation needed!

8. Dead Man Walking - Executions are never good.

9. Schindler's List - Again, no explanation needed!

10. The Island of Dr. Moreau - this movie was absolutely terrible and I cried over the $2 I wasted on it.
