LOL even if a film didn't move you to tears but got you choked up at least.

For me it was:

Imitation of Life - The original classic tearjerker. The whole movie is sad the way mama gets treated.But when shediesin the end of a broken heart and her daughter runs up to the coffin blaming herself....man that scene was justtoo much. Apparently there's an earlier version of this movie.

Set it Off - When all the girls except Jada got killed by the cops

City of God - The 'hand or foot' scene with that little five year old boy crying after he gets shot in the foot by Lil Ze. Also when Knockout Ned's brother gets killed in front of the house and his mother and brother are in tears.

The Lion King - When Mufasa died.

Life - When Martin's character was at the bus depot and looked around him thenrealised the world had changed a lot while he was inside. The concept of the whole movie is depressing despite being a comedy.

Crooklyn - When the father told his kids that their mother had cancer and they all started crying. Hit close to home.

Cooley High - When Cocheece(sp?) got beaten to death

John Q - When Denzel was ready to kill himself for his son to live.

Malcolm X - When he got murdered by the NOI in the auditorium

Glory - Nuff said! Denzel at his best.

This is a rush job,ya'll. The commonly viewed version of Imitation of Life made me more mad then sad,(picture someone coming out of my womb talking shit to me wanting to reject me so they can pass for white....I'd go out of this world with my hands around her neck,lol. The later version at least gave Blacks SOME dignity. The original version....Oh my goodness.(Turner Classics shows it occasionally). The Black woman worked for the white lady as a maid. The white lady takes the maid's PANCAKE recipe and sells it, makes a gang of money.(based on the Aunt Jemima true story). The white lady is "kind" enough to offer the Black maid 20% of the earnings. My hand to God, the Black lady says:"Does that mean I have to stop taking care of u?...I don't need no house and no car, I just want to take care of you, please don't make us leave" The white lady says well, I'll put some aside in an account for you. The Black lady says: "That's fine, I WOULD like a nice funeral". Another point in the film, both women are looking at the white lady's baby in the crib. The white lady says"Doesn't she look like an angel?", The black lady laughs and says: "Miss" fill in white lady's name, "SHE AM AN ANGEL". Now I know how Malcolm X felt when he said he felt like crawling under the theatre seat when watching Gone with the Wind as a child,(during Butterfly McQueen's scenes).

I'll be back with list of tearjerker films later on. Didn't mean to shift the direction of hour thread PH, just had to get that off my chest.
