It might be a 66-year-old cartoon but Walt Disney’s Bambi has been named the best tear-jerker of all time ahead of other favourites such as ET and the Lion King.

1. Bambi (1942)

Items in italics are ones I have never seen.
Of those listed that I’ve seen, I’d have to say Steel Magnolias is the top tear-jerker. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen that movie, and I always cry at the same places. You’ve got to see that movie. – there are some great quotable lines by an ensemble cast. (And it’s filmed in Louisiana, my home state!)
You haven’t seen E.T., Lion King, Ghost, and the Titanic!?!?
You really are a recovering Baptist, aren’t you?
C’mon where’s RUDY? I cry everytime I watch that!
Where’s Old Yeller?!?
