Do you cry at films?

nerox · 17-05-2001 11:34pm #1

This is directed to the males,
I was talking to my mates on irc just after i watched a sad film.. and yes i cryed! And i was askin around to see if any guys cried at films, none of them said they did.. I wonder was it to keep up an image or were they being truthful? Just out of curiosity, do any males around cry at films?

I've cried at the end of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest a couple of times.

Karl Hungus · 17-05-2001 11:50pm

I have cried at a few movies... Very few, but I have...

One flew over the cookoo's nest was one of them.

Zapper · 17-05-2001 11:55pm

corny as hell i know but it would have to be "It's a Wonderful Life" every single time i watch it.
1st date i ever had i took a girl to see that, blubbed like a baby at the end while she remained stoney-faced

Good god i was embarrased about that at the time

Belisarius · 18-05-2001 12:40am

Heheh ye pack of pussies!

naw seriously I must admit I dont as i find it very hard to sit down and watch a film at home ,And there arent any movies compelling enough to invoke tears theese days , if theyre ever was mind. BUT theyre have been some close shaves ofcourse , the end of Gladiator i found a bit "emotive" but after seeing it on DVD i'll put it down to the effect of watching it on the big screen . One flew over a cookoo's nest never did much for me though

Shrewgar!

Well to be homest bout the only time I cried at a films was when I was bout 6-8 and I was waching Lasse.

I just never cry cause it's always on my mind the eternal question "So whens the bedroom scene?"

Vokes · 18-05-2001 11:34am

I was 6 or 7 so. Dad took me to see *sniff* transformers on the big screen. i couldnt wait to see Prime kick Decepticon butt. And then that ******* megatron slaughtered Prime *sob* right near the start. I was in tears for a good few weeks after and i still dont think ive ever recovered. *sob*

i cried when i was about ???? I can't remember how old i was, but it was when ET was out on video the first time. I blubbed for a good hour or so.

I came close to crying last week when Madge died in Neighbours, but i held it in,

I'm a bicycle!!

I'm offended.

BAN THAT GUY!

In all seriousness....the greatest place on earth!

Kolodny · 18-05-2001 1:14pm

My parents took me to see E.T. when I was a wee small thing and towards the end, when you think E.T. is dead, my Dad asked my Mum for a tissue. Despite the fact she was a bit emotional herself, she had to slag him for crying. My Dad snatched the tissue from her and insisted that if there was any way he was going to cry in public, it would not be over a 'squidgy brown thing'. I'm still not convinced. I cried at that bit but then I cried at stuff like the Count from Sesame Street. Frightened the c*** out of me when I was three.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

spag · 18-05-2001 2:06pm

The last film I cried at was " Life is beautiful ".
I wrote why previously, but I've been told to edit by an elder, so if you want to know why I cried....rent it out

Btw, thanks for letting me edit, instead of just doing it yourself. very nice.

If ya mean do i break down into tears, whaleing n bawling... no, but sometimes tears may begin to form!

"just because ur not paraniod, doesn't mean they're not after u!"

sdavros · 18-05-2001 5:24pm

the only film I ever cried at was under siege 2 with steven seagal-but that doesnt count i hope

I am the allmighty Father you must obey my command

Kali · 18-05-2001 5:45pm

Bah fair play spag you've just ruined one of the greatest films of all time for people who havent seen it

Very moving scene though.

Please edit your post

Figment · 18-05-2001 7:55pm

I cried at episode 1. Soo much potential lost.

Lex_Diamonds · 18-05-2001 8:12pm

I cried at the end of Universal Soldier: The Return because I realised I had wasted some of my life and £3

Seriously though, The Deer Hunter is one emotional film, I think its the music that really does it. One flew over is also very moving.

syringe · 18-05-2001 8:41pm

LOL, yeah Unisol 2 was PANTS! But forget your so-called emotional films, get to the real stuff - Armaggedon! Good God, it felt like I had a football in my throat in the end of that. Very emotional indeed.

azezil · 19-05-2001 9:17am

The scene in "A time to kill" when he's describeing how the girl was beaten n raped... now that forced emotion outa me!

"just because ur not paraniod, doesn't mean they're not after u!"

Mills · 19-05-2001 1:01pm

I don't remember ever actually crying at a film but there have been quite a few that left me with a lump in my throat, the most recent (and only ones I ca remember offhand) of which would be The Green mile, Gladiator, and Deep Impact.

D-Generate · 19-05-2001 5:11pm

I can't say that I cried but a tear has formed when i was about 8 and i saw The Lion King.
Excuse me i think i am about to cry........

Mills · 20-05-2001 1:57am

Yeah that was pretty sad alright when Simba's father was killed

Belisarius · 20-05-2001 2:07am

Hey! I knew I remember that Transformers film! , actually optimus prime got pushed about quite a bit , I mean everyone knows the real leader was the racing car lad

Shrewgar!

Miguel_Sanchez · 21-05-2001 3:10am

Do I cry at films?

Do you mean really hard-hitting stuff like The Care Bears?

Ah but no seriously. I think there were some tears at the end of Life is Beautiful. Great, great film.

Shiminay · 21-05-2001 2:01pm

Oh I'm going to regret this, but what the hell...

I've only ever gotten emotional at one film - it was less than a year ago. This was a huge film - packed out cinemas world wide.

There was a fight scene and it was illustrating how pointless violence is - only one of the combatants wouldn't fight and his opponent just kept hitting him and imploring him to fight back, but he wouldn't.

It came to a head when the 2 "generals" of the armies were fighting and someone ran in to stop the whole thing and got killed.

Everyone stopped fighting and the non-fighter ran over and tried to revive the would-be peace maker. Alas it was to no avail.

At this stage I was staring at the screen and the audience around me to see if they were in as bad an emotional state as me - they weren't. I was in bits - it was such a gut-wrenching scene. the tears were on the verge of spilling out. My lip was quivering. Hands were shaking.

Then Pikachu and the other Pokémon started to cry and Ash came back to live!!!

Then I was happy!!!

The moral of the story is - NEVER, EVER watch The Pokémon Movie whilst off your tits!!!

I saw it o video in a totally sober state and I laughed when I saw the same scene and realised what a mucking fuppet I was

All the best!

I cried at the end of "The Postman" because i had just wasted three hours of my life

But seriously anyone who didn't cry when ET left is a heartless inhuman monster

I loved that little guy.

Damn BT disgracing his memory

Lets get back to basics Niall, the ball is round

And before that im pretty sure i cryed when i watched Bambi or other Disney movie, being so young and all.

Aka: Dragon,Sexual Harassment Panda, SCUMM.

Mills · 22-05-2001 12:38am

That was an incredibly sad scene though, I think it was because Percy was such a mean-hearted ba$tard that did it to me. Although generally cruelty to animals like that in films gets to me more than when its a person being killed.

There was an air of sadness hanging over the whole film, just the atmosphere of the Death row, quite depressing.

Miguel_Sanchez · 22-05-2001 1:23am

Personally I found the Green Mile to be a poor film. I went in expecting it to live up to the Shawshank Redemption so I suppose that didn't help from the outset.

But to be honest I left halfway through, and I rarely, rarely, rarely leave films I've paid to see.

Maybe I wasn't in the mood but I suspect that I'd get bored of it if I tried to watch it again.

Do you cry at films?
