What Songs or Movies Make You Cry?
I’m a bit of a softy, especially with music and certain films/scenes from films.

And it’s a bit all over the place.

Since my dad died, I can’t listen to My Father’s House by Springsteen, and I’ve never been a big Bruce fan. But I listen to that now, and I’m crushed.

Certain operas/arias bring me to tears.

Transatlanticism by Death Cab is always rough, even if I’m in a great mood. I’ll end up drifting back into some former relationship and it’ll get me misty eyed.

Too many songs bring tears to my eyes for reasons of joy, sadness, yearning, etc…

Here’s a weird one. Superman The Movie. Christopher Reeve. When he grabs Lois and that helicopter(pilots inside) from falling from the roof, I snort cry. I just wish sometimes there was this “miracle man” who could do stuff like that and give us all something to believe in and be so thankful it exists.

Private Ryan, Schindler’s List, Sling Blade…. All crushers…

What do you have?

As for the topic on the OP... there is a bunch of stuff I cannot listen to because of emotional connections. Even before certain events in my life... this song and scene from the movie Highlander ****s me up.

The Olympics, World Cup, and even the NFL games in London I can understand as we are importing that shit and want to put a stamp on it.

Games between teams of American League sports playing one another though? Hard pass as they are not representing the nation... they are just members of a regional team. Just get to the damn game.
Ehh....naaaaaaaaaaah

The national anthem right before a major sporting event is one of the best parts. Love the national anthem. Brings chills when it's sung well. I always stand for it and remove my cap, even if im just in my living room. It's an iconic moment in sports entertainment.

I understand your position. I love many things but that doesn't mean they are an "appropriate" (in the sense of belonging... not that in the sense that it is something bad) way to kick off a sporting event.

Now recently they have taken to playing other "nationalistic" (put in quotations because it is a term that can carry a negative connotation and I want to emphasize that I mean it clinically and not critically) like "God Bless America" as well. I'll go to a political rally to get my fill for that kind of content. I came for the sport.

The opposite doesn't make sense. No one goes to a concert but first has to watch replays of a sporting event.

Good lord, so many movies make me cry and a few songs depending on my mood lol. My little bro died like 2 months after graduating high school. I'm only 2 years older than him, so we did everything together. A few months after that I watched Bridge to Terabithia and bawled my eyes out at that. I also remember being like 16/17 and watching a ****ing Walk to Remember and bawling about that lol.

Just watch that video and see the reactions of the crowd. Even as recently as 1991, we were a patriotic nation. Nobody batted an eye at singing the anthem at a ball game.

We've come a long way I guess...

I myself get choked up at the scene in Rudy where he gets the acceptance letter from Notre Dame, The scene in the Passion of the Christ where Mary sees Jesus fall with the cross with the simultaneous flash back to him falling down as a child and her rushing to him...

Cat's in the Cradle gets me almost every time if I really sit and listen to it.
God, Rudy is such a terrible movie. The climax is him playing in a game. Big deal.

Having your on children might be the first time you start putting another humans needs before your own. It makes you realize that others have put your needs before their own for years.

Now, any movie, or even a commercial, that pulls on the family-heartstrings will get me a bit emotional. I get choked up about story lines so easily now - and good musical underscoring just intensifies it.

Something about how she sings that last verse just punched me in the gut:

Bittersweet by Zac Brown Band. It’s brutally sad but uplifting at the same time. Perfect song title.

Maybe if you're watching soccer or women's basketball, but for fans of quality sporting events it only delays the start of the entertainment.

The end of "Saving Private Ryan" is an obvious choice for a tear jerker.

You are not alone in this....I was always the rebel and thought I was too manly to cry....children changed me. Watching the birth of my daughter....that still tears me up to think about that.

Down here in FL...it seems around every national holiday Publix puts out a new commercial....those are heartwarming.

As for songs that make me tear up...

My Old Man- Zac Brown Band....the morning they previewed it nationally I was driving in to work....the words struck such a chord in me that I had to pull off the road to compose myself. Still makes me teary/

Amazing Grace- sung by just about anyone....but especially when it is done with a bagpipe or multiple bagpipes.

The Breath You Take- George Strait

As for movies...

Field of Dreams- when Kevin Costner says "you wanna have a catch" it reminds me when I used to ask my dad to play catch.

Sorry....I am sure that I am not in the minority.....but most people do not mind the singing of the National Anthem before the start of a "quality sporting event>

As for Carrie Underwood....if you want a song of hers that will make you tear up....listen to and watch the video of "Temporary Home". I was on my way home from my Father's funeral in 2011 and turned on the music to wind down. The first song that came up was that one....and the 3rd verse where it starts....

Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers don't cry for me
I'll see you all someday
He looks up and says "I can see God's face"

That just got to me...
