Most touching Movie You Ever saw

The one I remember well is a WWII movie made right after the war. It's about a small bridge in Germany in the last hours of the war. The Americans, with their tanks, are on one side, and its defended by a Hilter Youth brigade-kids. The Americans are aware of that it was only Hitler Youth. They try to get the kids to surrender. The kids vow to fight to the end. But the GIs had to take the bridge, NOW. And they did. It was a gut wrenching movie. Sorry don't know the title.
 
Oh there are some amazing movies on here! I see some of my favorites. Love Story was probably the first tear jerker I saw. I'd say Schindler's List was right up there as well. And The Green Mile. I haven't seen The Art of Racing in the Rain, but it's my favorite book, but I can just imagine what the movie is like.
 

"Mrs. Doubtfire" had some touching moments.

"Sling Blade" was great - especially when Karl gave that great "gift" to the kid.
 
A lot of good ones on this list. I am the resident oddball here who has little to no interest in "tearjerkers" involving animals. Like the Racing in the Rain one, or any of the sad dog movies of the past few years. Not sure why.
 
Then there is Kirk Douglas in (acquired taste jury still out) in " Paths of Glory'

(Info that does not fit this thread=The French troops had at least, two troop revolts, they got tired of dying.

Yea, yea, us hear it for going over the top...
French govt responded, 'execute a few, they'll go back to the trenches (the dying due to stupidity of generals). They did, govt. promised
reform-lies
WW I: CHURCHILL OBSERVED 'KAHKI MAKEs poor armor for machine guns.
Reception: Don't want to hear it, were at war.

Us talk about "nam'
Well, it was a long time ago, I'd talked out many years ago...

There a lot of great movies, we forget how great they were until someone brings them to mind.
We also forget the crux of how they depicted our ugly and sometimes our good.
Spy stories use to be cerebral, now there 'murder incorporated'

This thread jolts the memory-good thread
"The Prince of Tides," didn't know Nick Nolte was such an accomplished thespian, he and Barbara 'tore it up,' huh- yea.
"Hurry Sundown" Deborah Kerr (sp?) Robert Mitchum, a bit draggy in spots, but a good'un
 
I have been thinking about this question, and it is truly difficult to pick only one movie that was an all-time most favorite. But weeding down through the list, I think that I am going to put “ Somewhere in Time” at the top, but followed closely by “Ladyhawke”, “Frequency”, “Almost like Heaven”, and of course, “Hunt for Red October”.
There are others that I really enjoy, and can watch and enjoy it each time, but these would be my most favorite movies, and it really is hard for me to put them in any kind of order as to which ones are at the top of the list.
 
I am a big fan of pre 1940 films, so “Make Way for Tomorrow“ (1937) is one that sticks with me, Beulah Bondi and Victor Moore were perfectly cast.
 
The Best Years of Our Lives, A very touching movie about World War II vets returning home and adjusting to life after the war.

One of many was Bridge to Terabithia It was about two outcast kids who develop a close friendship and create a fantasy world as an escape. I do not want to add spoilers, but there is a tragedy about 2/3 through that even made my tough as nails husband shed a tear or two (which he denied). Beautiful movie, but still cannot bring myself to watch it again.

I took my daughter to it and cried. Same thing happened to me at a movie called The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
