Is there a movie that ALWAYS makes you cry . . . no matter how many times you’ve seen it? Someone posed that question on Twitter this weekend, and it went viral.
The original poster said these four do it for him: “Apollo 13”, “Big Fish”, “The Green Mile”, and “Saving Private Ryan”. But hundreds of others added THEIR top tear-inducing flicks.

“Bicentennial Man”, “Up”, “Terms of Endearment”, “Mr. Holland’s Opus”, “Schindler’s List”, “Marley and Me” . . . and someone else said, quote, “Any movie that includes a dog. Any of them. All of them.”
Someone said, quote, “There’s something about baseball movies . . .” and another suggested “Field of Dreams” and “A League of Their Own”.
A Marvel fan added “Thor”, “The Avengers”, “Thor: The Dark World”, “Thor: Ragnarok”, “Avengers: Infinity War”, and “Avengers: Endgame”.
