I love a Good Cry Movie | Here are some to the Best Tearjerker Movies

There is nothing like a tear-Jerker Movie. I have always been a very sensitive person. It is not unusual for me to start crying while watching a romantic movie. My husband has been teasing me for years, but I think he secretly appreciates my sensitivity.

Sometimes you are just in the mood to curl up with a good tear jerker. Here is my collection of some of my favorite tear jerkers.

Nights in Rondanthe - My most resent Tear Jerker

When I first put in this DVD I was really just expecting another romance movie just like everything else that was ever made. I thought it would probably be predictable, but since I'm a fan of Richard Gere I figured I would go a head and check it out.

This movie was far from predictable. I don't want to reveal much more only that you will need to have a box of tissues handy when watching this movie.

Generally, I tend to try to avoid these type of movies, but tear ducts need to be cleaned out every once in a while!

Every once in a while, but usually not.
