I cry at movies, tv, books, music, all of it. The mere thought of a song can start the tears rolling down my face.

Any kind of overwhelming emotion is going to come out of my eyes. Happy, sad, whatever. I’m a sensitive soul, I guess. That and I’m often hormonal. I take after my mom this way.


you big sob!

The older I get, the easier it gets to start bawling. From movies (Amadeus gets me e-ve-ry time) or music (The Beatles' Free As A Bird) or a fucking Oprah episode, it don't matter. Imma big bawler.


I'm with you. I can cry at some pretty silly stuff sometimes. But I'm REALLY curious about what makes you cry in Amadeus. I've watched that movie about 400 times and I don't think I've come close to tearing up once.

Wait - on second thought maybe I don't want to know. You might make me start sniffling as well!!!!

I haven't had a movie that made me cry in a while, but there are some that get me over and over. Forrest Gump usually does it. So does The Color Purple.

The beginning of Up caught me by surprise though





I will not do this shit again. mad

Usually old movies, rather than newer movies.

I get ugly, crying over these movies:

Dark Victory
Imitation Of Life
The English Patient

Just the opening titles of Imitation Of Life gets me choked, because I know what's coming.

And I couldn't watch the last 30 minutes of Marley & Me - I had to leave the room.


Did you actually like Marley and me? Because I did the same thing at the end and left the room. I would have stayed and balled my way through it if I had enjoyed the movie. But I thought it was total cheese and completely unfunny/uncharming. Because I KNEW I would cry at the end when they showed the final dog scenes I refused to let that movie get me emotional because it hadn't "earned it".

Absolutely. But mainly because something on the screen evokes a powerful, personal memory.

For instance, I always cry at the end of "Field of Dreams", when Kevin Costner plays catch with his dad. That's because my dad and I loved baseball, and he's gone so we can't play catch any more.

I never got the hype of that movie either. I certainly didn't hate it, but never really saw it as anything special.

Toally agree with you on this one. What's funny if the first four or five times I watched it, it didn't get me at all.

Then I found myself watching it one day a few years ago and started getting choked up at that scene.

I cried at Passion of the Chirst for the same reason Johnart cried at English Patient. smile Didn't really care for that one.

Movies I know I have cried during at least once:

Color Purple

Field of Dreams

Nobody's Fool (obscure Paul Newman movie)

Gandhi (when his wife dies - if that isn't the height of acting I don't know what is)

Throw Mama From the Train (j/k)

Art, books, movies, music, basically anything that gets an intense feeling outta me can make me cry. lol

It's SO lame, but the first few minutes of Love Actually make me sob. I can't watch that part, really.

It's a romantic idea to cry at a movie evoking enough emotion that you weep during the movie at some point, but how realistic is it?

I ask because I DVR'd The Reader and watched it last night. I wasn't sure what it was about, or what to expect. For some reason, it got me emotional. It was such a great movie. For anyone who hasn't seen it, I'd highly recommend it.

Do you cry at a movie? What movie(s) have evoked that kind of emotion from you?


My girlfriends and I all teared up and soaked a bunch of kleenex at a theater with this tearjerker way back in Jr. High:


lol

I took my son to Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame two summers ago. We played catch in the field next to the Hall. It's a good thing it was long toss, because I was crying like a little baby the whole time.
