Films you cried during but really shouldn't have.

CoachBoone

This came up in conversation one day between a few mates of mine, some of the notables were;

Gladiator.

Transformers.

Remember the Titans.

Top Gun.

Anyone have any embarrassing confessions?

Slightly off topic, not a film, but sports results have often made me cry.

police academy 4

anniehoo

Actually had a lump in my throat after Slum Dog! I expected to hate it after all the hype but loved it. The Notebook is another one..ive seen it 4 times and still bawl!

Terry

E.T.
I was 6 or 7.
Wasn't happy when Donnie died, but it didn't make me cry.
I'm fairly emotionless when it comes to that sort of stuff.

The Notebook hardly counts as one your really shouldnt have cried during. I dont know a single girl that hasnt cried during it. As for the lads, I guess you could be forgiven...

Gladiator.

+1

Have only in my life cried watching one film, Schindler's List, wasn't actually crying, don't know what it was really,shock and awe or something just had tears running down and hadn't noticed or made a sound.

That was until recently.Went to the cinema to see Gladiator at the time it came out, have the DVD and watched it a load of times over the last few years.... was watching about 2 weeks and started crying, really bawling. No idea why.

I cant even think of Bambi without misting up.

df1985

i saw marley and me with a hangover.i cried like a girl.
lion king-who didnt?

+1 to the guy who said sports results make me cry.its out of pride and happiness.some of the video montages of the grand slam got a lump in my throat and on reeling in the years when they show italia 90-it shows an old man in his 70's/80's id say watchin it in the rds.hes standing up applauding and in floods of tears-always gets me.

Red Dawn

Seeing those brave young men mow down those commie sons of bitches made me sad that we never got the chance to enjoy World War 3

CoachBoone

Hold up.

Bambi doesnt count. Neither does the Lion King. You'd have to be inhuman to not cry when Mufasa dies. Jesus Christ.

Female and didnt cry at it.

Leprachaun

I tend to get steamy not when watching emotional bits but actually when dramatic revolutions are made,especially when they're completely unexpected.

EDIT: I also hate when people's dogs die in movies,but for some reason I don't care when the people die. :P

I cried during I Am Legend.

When Will Smith had to dispatch his dog, I was utterly devastated.:(

marko91

slumdog millionaire makes me sad how the girl he loves is forced into sex with his brother and when shes older he scares her face:eek:GREAT MOVIE

I didnt cry as such but I nearly did watching The bridges of Madison county .

I was urging Meryl Streep at the end to ' go go girl .....jump outta the car '

I laughed during Titanic. Twice actually.

First time when the guy fell from the top of the ship when it was

sinking

and hit the propeller.

Second time when Jack

sank

and it looked like he was waving goodbye to the posh English bird. Cue a swift dig in the ribs from my aunt who was bawling crying.

Yup I am Legend. Jesus, that was a tough one. A dog, an innocent friendly zombie fighting dog.

Speaking of Will Smith, Pursuit of Happiness got me, but I suppose thats kinda warranted.

I cried during the movie on Wed night on RTÉ 1 called Crash when the little lation girl runs out and jumps into her fathers arms with his magical cloak around her to save him from the persian guy who shoot the gun only for it to be blanks he is firing.

That was a very very close run thing with me, heart was in my mouth. Great film though.

I cried at Crash....but for some reason, I cried when the Asian child is blankly staring at a shop of TVs....made me feel sad at the time for some reason.

Birdie086

My bladder is VERY close to my eyes, I've been known to cry watching Eastenders, sad I know. I'm always the first to bawl my eyes out

I havent been able to take that film seriously once. Went to see it in the cinema, all was grand, enjoying it like everyone else until some howaya shouted out 'Oh my god it's gonna f***in' hit da' huuuge oicecube'

For me, it's more about the music in a film.

I could watch a death scene in a movie and feel nothing if there was no music.

Cue the music with the same scene and I fill up, this tends to happen more if I am already feeling down.

But it is more to do with the accompanying music than the actual scene for me.

Darkbloom

Monsters Inc - the end scene!

also Wall-E.

Never cried at Titanic or The Notebook though, hmmm.

I guess I'm a monster then.

I don't cry watching films, because I'm a man and they suspend my disbelief enough

Aliens Vs Monsters 3D

Ya i cried during Crash as well though not the film ye are on about - im talking about David Cronenbergs version where people had sex with people in horrific car-accidents

Also Predator (god i loved that little fella)

Saw IV as well - tear jerking stuff

Actually serious:
The Matrix
Let the Right One In
Little Miss Sunshine
Lots of underdog sports movies eg Friday Night Lights etc

Placid_Casual

I got a bit teary watching Amelie on TV one Christmas.

I might qualify that by saying I was at a low ebb in my life and i'd had a few.

Yes i find that music added to a scene, especially with strings can be the difference in feeling or making a connection to the film .

Raging bull is one that springs to mind, when the violent boxing scene is slowed down and a classical (well known) piece of music is introduced .

AckwelFoley

i cried during "Burn after reading" due to the fact i spent 10 quid to see it. Epic load of bollocks. Walked out.

Probably just a feeling of alienation and isolation the image elicited.

I often find that photos of night landscapes or brightly lit city streets deserted touches creates a sort of emptiness inside me.

Sharpshooter wrote: »

Yeah, this happened me at the end of

Big Fish. It's an emotional scene but then Pearl Jam's "Man of the Hour" comes on and a few tears roll down my cheek. Was in the cinema at the time so became pretty self concious of it.

Same with Donnie Darko. I felt no emotional attachment to the characters in that film but Gary Jules' version of Mad World really struck a chord with me.

I hate seeing any film where an animal dies like the previously mentioned parts in I Am Legend & Marley & Me. Although that doesnt just apply to films. I couldnt even watch Animal Hospital

Queen-Mise

i laughed all the way through titanic. Pure crap.

Forest gump when the girl is dying and when she is throwing rocks at the fathers house.

Cant think of any films where i cried, when i shouldnt have, except the ones where its cries of laughter. For example csi - i know its a tv show, but i cant help but laugh at the poses.

**Caroline**

The end of the movie Juno

...I KNOW!:rolleyes: Although in my defence, I was pregnant watching it (hormone city). That's my excuse anyways! lol

Shanotheslayer

Titantic had me in bits back in the days:(

Was close to tears in I am Legend when the dog was about to die.

I remember a film as a kid when these 3 dogs run away. Was crying for hours after that:(

Aisling(",)

Babe pig in the city

it had me in floods

Sleipnir

Had a lump in my throat at the end of Crash i must admit.

Not a movie but when Dr. Mark Greene died in ER I burst into tears in front of the girlfriend. She nearly broke out a defibrillator.
