What are the films that you have seen that you think I must be the only person who cries at this here are some of mine.

Seldom do I get teary eyed.

And I'm not sure why I got teary eyed in the movie above. The movie, Uncle Boonmee Who could recall his past lives is ..... strange. It's directed by a Thai director named Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who recently won an award at the Cannes film festival with this movie.

In this movie, Uncle Boonmie who is joined by his sister-in-law, nephew, and a house worker (along with his lost son, who is now a 'monkey ghost' and his dead wife's ghost) goes to his country side house in the North 'Isaan' region of Thailand to live out his remaining days with kidney cancer.

The acting is so-so. The special affects are....very.... VERY amatuerish...and the matter-of-fact way in which the characters interact with a ghost that appears before them at a dinner one night caused a great deal of chuckling in the movie theater from educated Thais as well as westerners.

But there's a very very strange charm to this movie. I found myself transfixed during much of it, trying to understand what the point of the movie was. You don't actually sense a plot in this movie at all....you actually feel as if you're spying on these people...somewhat like in a dream of sorts.

The ending is also very strange and I wasn't able to understand why he chose to end the movie were he did.

But, for some reason, I found myself connecting with Boonmee and the scene above, though not terribly well acted brought tears to my eyes. (He's hugging a ghost there by the way ).

Yeah, I'm wierd.

This is the director: http://media.daemonsmovie...thakul.jpg

I'd like to have sex with him sometime.

I fall to pieces when he swings from his mothers arms after she's been quarantined for freaking out on his behalf.

That scene KILLS me.

Bambi

"MOTHERRR! MOTHERRR!"

It doesn't make me cry, but its very moving, even though its a comedy film...

This one. In the opening scene, when the kids take off on their bicycles and the action is freeze-framed, I am instantly 10 years old again.

Heck, I'm tearing up right now, just imagining the scene.

I know this is absolutely retarded for me to admit, but I mist up when she says this.

MJ was seriously a down ass chick in the books. That's what the fuck you need when you're out in the streets fightin all kinda animal based totemic villains, aliens and common criminals.

I bet that movie hit a raw nerve in David Lynch before he started his filming career

I cry in that movie when Leeloo jumps off the window ledge. I think how desperate things must be that a freefall seems an only option (9/11 for example) but my husband argues that she knows she is the supreme being and won't be hurt, but at that point to me she doesn't know yet. And when the blue singing lady is killed

do you cry when ET arrives or when he leaves?

when I was a kid I cried at the end, now I cry at the beginning knowing all the shit poor ET has to go through before he can go home again

From about 3:45 to 5:10 in this clip and a couple parts later on.

This scene here from 1:30 on

I guess I have a soft spot for animated killing machines with broken English

I cried a couple of times during Crooklyn, especially near the end when the little girl sleep-walks/wakes up all disorientated and expecting to see her mother

ET I always cry at the end when he leaves, I used to play-rewind the last scene on video so it played backwards and looked like the spaceship lands again and ET comes back

Where the Wild Things Are

Big Fish

The Fountain

When it's sentimental i am hopeless..i even cry when i watch cartoons....

i cried when i watched Up, Lion King. and Bambi

it's embarrassing!!!

I couldn't stand it when Drago beat Apollo Creed to death. I still tear up to this day when I watch it. Although, the tears dry up when you see Stallone's sexy ass in those tight black pants when he was training in Russia. He was one sexy muthfucka in this installment of Rocky.

This movie chokes me up every time.

As soon as the opening credits come on, I burst into tears.

Why the hell am I watching this?!

And then I also get all teary eyed at the end when they figure out that the 5th Element is Love.

I'm a wuss
