Easily one of the only movies ever made where it would be almost impossible NOT to cry at the end. Just watched it last night after not seeing it for probably 20 years, and I cried easily. Great job by Ricky Schroeder.

I'm guilty, tooI had seen very small bits and pieces, but never saw the whole thing until I was 25 years old. I cried so much throughout this movie I gave myself an anxiety attack (not kidding in the least), but I think I was more affected than I normally would have been because young Rick Schroeder bears a striking resemblance to my nephew, Gabriel. I kept seeing him when I was watching Rick and it was completely breaking my heart! Hey, I'm not ashamed I cried. It's a very emotional movie, a wonderful movie.
I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

I first watched this film when I was 5 and sobbed my little heart out. I watched it again about 3 years after that and sobbed my little heart out. I have seen in about 8 more times, the last time being 2 weeks ago, and I still sob my heart out at this film.
Wake up champ, champ, champ, wake up. Thats me sobbing again.

Heck No.
I saw it for the first time yesterday morning. I was crying so much. Poor TJ.

Oh Jeez, I just hear the theme song and I lose it. "When You Remember Me" was one of my very favorite songs when I was in junior high. I used to play it all the time and cry.

Ah ok, well I didnt cry not sure why. If it wasnt for Jon Voight I wouldnt watch this movie more then 1 time. Ricky totally overracts IMO, and I can think of MANY movies that gets to me more then this one. I just think the ending is kind of over the top.

I watched this with my dad, brother, and uncle.
My dad is a big bad ex marine.
My brother who tries to be the machoist person on the earth
My uncle who is very similar to my brother.
And myself, at the time, a young teenage female.
All four of us cried, sobbed hysterically. That little kid was what did it when he was screaming, "WAKE HIM UP! I WANT CHAMP!"
Absolutely heartbreaking. I'm acting getting worked up just thinking of that part in the movie.

I remember getting ready for a date in high schoolI had all my makeup on, started watching this movie, and when the guy arrived, I didn't have any makeup left from all the tears coursing down my cheeks. I have no doubt I'd cry again today at 34.

you aint the only one. i watched it tonight and i can honestly say the tears were coming from inside.

I was 7 or 8 when I saw it. At the cinema exit, the whole street was crying out loud. It was like a darn funeral. I haven't seen anything like that since then. Hundreds of grownups sobbing and crying marble-size tears over a movie.
Never be complete.

I saw this film when I was little and it always used to make me cry
Haven't watched it for ages though so I dunno

It makes me cry every time I watch it.
You have gotta be dead inside not to!!!

Good, God, no! I STILL cry when I see this show. Especially since my father died almost 5 years ago.
To me, that last 14 minutes is the saddest scene in movie history I have EVER seen.

I'm 36year old bloke and I bawl everytime at this film.Never at any other. ET got me when I was a kid, I get a tear at the scene in Crash where the Iranian goes to shoot the Puerto Rican, and Dancer in the dark moves me.but I don't actually shed tears like this filmPowerful stuff.How's it only rate as 5.8?
If a film is so moving, surely it should be a 10.. I guess alot of blokes won't rate it highly through some sort of embarrasement complex, alot of people will cite it as forumlaic or manipulative.but surely if a film raises this much emotion its got to score highly.
I certainly have never heard of anyone that has seen it and hasn't been affected. Anyone that says they haven't is either a liar or emotionally retarded!

Anyone who watched it and didnt cry must be made of stone, i've never cried so much in all my life!! Has to be one of the most fantastic kid performances ever. He was absolutely flawless.

Your definately not the only one. I saw this movie when I was about 10 or 11 and cried my eyes out. Every friend I knew admitted that they cried too. I told my wife about this movie, she would like to see it but Im honestly afraid to look at it again because I'm 36 now and I dont want her to see me cry over a movie, it would destroy my tuff guy image. lol

"Turn around let me see that azz"

I saw this movie in '79 with my parents when I was eight. I think I was the only person in the theater not to be crying, because I was too immauture and embarrased to cry in front of my parents, so I remember holding it in. Having long since gotten in touch with my emotions, yes this is a quintessential tearjerker, a beautiful and sad movie that will affect you. I cry just watching the two scenes I've seen posted on YouTube.
