There are very few movies where I actually cry( I usually don't cry in the movies where everyone says they cry in), but this one gets me everytime. It was on tv today and I watched it, I wasn't even that into it and I cryed. Does this happen to anyone else?

From the point that the Police officer enters the home until Mrs. Sennett gives Vada back the mood ring. There are so many tearful moments that seem to get me every time.

Yeah that moment kills me, now more than ten years later. I loose it. I can not watch the funeral scene,...it does not happen. Even if I am flipping through the channels and it is on...I will cry at that scene

I watched it today and i'm just crying like a baby. I cried from the death of Thomas J to the very end.

i remember when i was in primary school i came home and my sister who is 4 yrs older then me was watching it, but she was balling her eyes out! at that time i thought that it was sad, but i just couldnt understsand why you would cry in a movie..and then yrs later i hired the movie.. and i think i cried even more than my sister did!! though now that i own it i cry everytime... its not like a oh yeah its sad but i dont need to cry again kind of thing.. its definitly a tissue moment everytime..

I'm not a big crier, either, but I always cry at this. Especially at the funeral, and when the dad yells 'Yeah... and when those suppers are disrupted because there's a car crash, or there's a fire, or a little boy steps on a beehive...'
When the policeman arrives to break the news, it is then that I am suddenly in floods of tears. When Dan Akroyd explains to Vada her friend won't get better, to the point of the funeral, it is like the most heartbreaking 20 minutes in the history of film.
Chandler: on second thoughts, gum would be perfection. (thinks) Gum would be PERFECTION??
That moment when Dan Aykroyd tells Vada that he's dead is I think what makes this movie one of his greatest performances. I say that because the way he tells it to her, you could here his voice crack just a bit like he was really getting emotional. It gets me everytime.
shareMe too. This film pushes all kinds of my buttons. I think it is an extraordinary film.

I agree, there are few movies I actually cry during. But it seems that ever since I saw My Girl when it came out, I cry every sinlge time.It's just that kind of movie.
sharei rarely cry in movies!!! but i lose it EVERYTIME at the funeral when she comes in and says his face hurts and asks where his glasses are. "He can't see without his glasses!!" omg i'm tearing up as i type this!!
shareyep.. same here..I saw this movie for the first time when I was 16 or 17...I cried at that EXACT funeral scene at the end... I'm now in my 30's...and it still gets me EVERY single time!
shareThis is definitely still the sadest movie I've ever watched. The funeral scene when Vada says that he can't see without his glasses gets me everytime. I love this movie.

oh my gosh i cried so hard my stomach hurt, and i never have ever cried that hard during a movie. when the policeman came it started, when they rolled thomas into the house under the blanket it got worse, when vada finally broke out and started yelling about his glasses and his hurt face at his funeral...i lost it...sobbing, weeping, loud too, i couldn't believe that it had gotten me like that. i used up so many tissues hah. after it was over i thought, "oy vey..that was just too much...never again.." haha
sharei love this movie how to you watch this and not weep with vada whn she says where is his glasses. i use a towel when watching this movie kleenexs cant hold all my tears but then i am a big crier

when the police officer tells Harry, now that was a scene. Harry was a jerk in this movie, but even HE is saddened by the news of Thomas J's passing. Tells you what a great kid Thomas J was.
sharei do,too.the ending is sooooooooo depressing!
"I think I smell mice!"
Although I've seen it at least 3-4 times over the years, the funeral scene gets me every time. I watched it again today and couldn't hold back the tears.
Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.
'My Girl' is by far my favorite movie of all time. Ever. I saw it in the theatre when I was 9 years old and I cried. I have seen it hundreds of times since then and I cry. every. single. time. I actually believe that if someone were to offer me money to watch it without crying I don't think I could do it.
THE saddest movie I have ever seen. What about when she's sitting on the top of her staircase during the funeral and puts her face in her hands and cries? Or the looks on Thomas J's parent's faces when Vada is telling them to 'put his glasses on'?? Oh my gosh...actually tearing up just THINKING about it.
I love this movie so much. So sweet and so sad at the same time.
I saw this film at the cinema at the time it was released, and i cried then. Now it makes me cry because it reminds me of two of my cousins who died. One of them died at the age of 24 in 1997 in a car crash, and his younger brother also died in a car crash at the age of 19 in 2001. Thomas J even looks like one of them when he was a child ( the youngest one. I'm not sure what the oldest one looked like when he was a child ). But they both looked similar as they got older.
shareWow, I just went to see a few youtube videos, and after a few clicks I ended up on the funeral scene. Probably only 5 seconds in and i was in tears. "Where are his glasses"
