what brings tears to your eyes

Bolag_the_2nd

just watched a tear jerker and although im not prone to breaking down, i found this very moving, what does it take for you to shed a tear or two? do you cry easily and do you find it liberating or are you hard and think tears are for whimps?

watership down, anything with animals being hurt or sad, really sad sounding music no matter how happy the song lyrics are, moulin rouge, my girl, and the simpsons episode with the jazzman!

Just watched the notebook and nearly cried with disappointment!

I consider myself the typical male, slagged it off without having seen it but was curious and actually did expect to get a bit emotional.
But not a bit of it, I'm not cold, after a hard weekend I can get emotional watching Eastenders (Bradleys demise being particularly traumatic)

Nothing has upset me as much as watching ET get left behind, or Hooch getting shot in Turner and Hooch.

And as for the aul poem 'When I was a lad, aul Shep was a dog...' don't get me started.

But the Notebook was a complete waste of time (barr Rachel McAdams boobies)

Its worth it though, admit it.

In all seriousness though, the three films that get to me are:

1- A Perfect World.

That little kid shouting "Butch" at the end with the money flying everywhere gets to me every time.

2- American History X
3-Boys Don't Cry- the ending's bloody harrowing

Other than that, the end of the book 1984 always gets me. Not much else tbh unless I'm stressed or hormonal.:P

ETA: DazMarz just reminded of the Green Mile. So four films.:)

It ain't! I can't believe I paid someone to do that to me. Must have some serious masochistic tendencies!

I don't really cry at a lot, but I can't visit pound/shelter websites. Looking at pictures of dogs who've been abused, abandoned, or are going to be put down completely breaks my heart.. looking at their eyes and seeing them full of sincere, pure hope and love and then realizing how people have mistreated them, or knowing they're probably going to be put to death just because nobody can be bothered with them.. and the fact that I can't do anything about it.. It destroys me. Completely.

How people can do things like that to animals is well beyond me. Well beyond me. Horrible fücking world.

The movie "I am Sam"

Gets me every time. Not the full tears but the old eyes start to glisten and it take lots of deep breaths not to have the flood gates open so to speak.

You reminded me that this always gets me. It's so heartbreaking in its simplicity- there are a million pieces that are more elaborate but its short melody played entirely in a round always brings a lump to my throat. The tolling of the bell pulls at the heartstrings too.

I love American History X, but it wouldn't bring a tear to my eye.

For me:
The Champ,
The Insider
and Kramer Vs. Kramer (haven't seen it in years)


Only time I really broke down in tears was after a relationship break up. It wasn't over the break up, it was not seeing my son everyday, not tucking him into bed, reading him a story, making him breakfast, collecting him from school, stuff like that.

The other time was when access was denied for about 6 months over a year period, though you tend to block it out and become numb to it, self defence I think. I was very close to tears on seeing him again, took a lot of waiting and a court order to get it.

It's strange that 2 of the films that brought tears to my eyes when young, reflected what brought tears to my eyes years later.

Barring that, my Dad passing away, 2 months ago. Kept it all in until the night of the funeral.

I saw this programme on the fur industry ages ago, I think it was on Channel 4 and I actually cried it was so so horrible. I'm not a bleeding heart but there were skinning these poor animals alive and there was a fox and it was still alive and blinking its eyes. It stuck in my head and I vowed never ever to wear fur -such was the impact on me.
