Stella the Kleenex moments in the magazine for the 3 films you mentioned are:
"Kramer vs. Kramer" when Dustin Hoffman pleads for custody of his son in court.
"The Wizard of Oz" when Dorothy tearfully leaves Oz and hugs her pals goodbye especially the Scarcrow.
"Little Women" when Jo slips her hand into the Professors empty one to accept his proposal.
Ugh.

Evening Trivia:
Which stars played the characters of Kay Weston and Matt Calder (in what movie)?
-
Stella got it correct. Congratulations!

Actually next to each of the 50 films listed there is what they call a Kleenex moment.
Sample: "The Yearling" (Jody accepts the responsibility of shooting the fawn he has named Flag, losing not only a loved one but also a big, fat chunk of his innocence).
So actually there are only certain moments in the films that were chosen to be considered tear jerkers?
I can't believe they didn't list "Penny Serenade" and "Beaches" among others.

To bad stigal but the early bird gets the worm.
Although Eleanor Powell was married to Glenn Ford it is ironic that he and Eleanor Parker had eyes for each other while making a film together.

You got me classicsfan (in a nice way).
Of course I meant the sweet and talented Eleanor Powell who was a top dancer. I was still groggy this morning when I posted.
At 81 the fine actress Eleanor Parker is very much alive and very much revered.

In all fairness to actor Rod La Rocque who is mentioned below as a "stud" in his films was actually a superstar in his almost 100 films.

His leading ladies included Stanwyck, Crawford, Gish, Shearer, del Rio etc.
Also was in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" with Laughton and "Meet John Doe" with Cooper. He left the screen in 1941.
Also known as Rodney he was the matinee idol of the silents of the Roaring Twenties as well as talkies.
Happy Birthday to you Mr. La Rocque.
