    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)

    Books get to me way more than films, was very close when reading the dark tower and
    Eddie dies
    .

    That **** hits your heart.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    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!
