The rich and famous reveal the moments
which left them blubbing like babies.
Derren Brown
Derren Brown Tear jerker movie.... oooh there is one I know, ohh what is it?? Oh actually the last film I can think of that was a great tear jerker was Romeo and Juliet. I don't know if that was my favourite but it was certainly a good one. I also used to weep avidly at Sunset Beach while watching it in my dressing gown!


Jon Snow
Jon Snow There are so many, but the original Dr Zhivago..throughout..but particularly when Lara and Zhiv fail to make contact through the tram window..and he dies!!


Richard
Richard If you want to get the tear ducts in full flow, it has to be Waterloo Bridge, made in 1940 and starring Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor. She plays a ballet dancer forced by circumstances to go on the game; he plays her dashing aristocratic admirer who's called away to war and thus inadvertently propels her on the downward slope. Vivien Leigh never looked lovelier and although the plot is wildly improbable, the leads carry it off with such sweetness and tenderness I've never got to the end - and it is a tragic end - without bursting into floods of tears.

Judy
Judy Steel Magnolias is the first tearjerker that comes to mind. My daughter, Chloe, and I always cry and the men in our house always leave the room!
Dermot
Dermot It's got to be The Shawshank Redemption every time. The scene in which Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins are reunited on the beach at the end always has me weeping.
