    i can teary-eyed really easily when watching tv.

    the worst offenders for me are Beaches, American History X, Boys Don't Cry, The Land Before Time.
    but i'll also cry at charity ads etc.

    i watched the notebook for the first time tonight and cried too.

    Baby

    When I think about my Nana, I try not to, but if I do, I would cry. I miss her tbh. Cruelty to animals would anger me, and if I saw it take place i would be very mad. Other things like breaking up with someone, or loosing a friend would make me cry

    Darling, all our nanas always make us cry. .I do not wish to belittle your nans death in any way but I will warn you that I am no longer with the intended..I brought my beloved over to ireland, warned her that he was english, x=she then asked him if he knew wot turf was etc...great laugh was had by all

    another vote for marley and me.

    bawled my eyes out, so lucky i didnt see it in the cinema because the trailer made it look like a comedy. for the most part its an enjoyable movie but then it all goes wrong-and they drag it out for a good 20-30 minutes! i own a golden lab so it was sheer torture. only a few weeks ago i watched it again thinkin "ah ill be fine this time, i know whats coming".............was i f*ck!:o

    ive no shame in admitting it though, as it got to all my mates who own dogs too!:D

    Animal cruelty, can't handle it at all (well who can really?)
    Book series where you've been following a character for so long and then they die or whatever.
    The usual movies and some music, for example Casper's Lullaby from the movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnfSub9dS04

    I watched The Zoo on the TV3 player earlier on and when Jenny the Giraffe died I never cried so much, normally I wouldn't be so soft but it was heartbreaking :(

    -Pictures of the Halti earthquake
    -Funerals even if I don't really know the person I think of all the other people that have died..
    -Shawshank Redemption when Morgan Freeman kills himself
    -Green mile when they kill John Coffey
    -I cried when the bad weather was here driving on what seemed like an ice rink...i was crying for salt :rolleyes:

    Looks like a bit of a pattern all to do with death!

    Onions.

    Stories or films about children being badly mistreated or harmed will get me close.

    That episode of fresh prince where Wills dad come back, but leaves him in the end.

    That episode of fresh prince where Wills dad come back, but leaves him in the end.

    Sh!t forget the onion.
    Am in bits now just thinking about that.

    Maybe he would have stayed away from the Scientologist's head-programmers. Or was he looking for a father figure in L. Ron Hubbard ?

    When the Cool Runnings crew pick up the sled and start walking towards the finish line to a slow clap.

    do you cry easily and do you find it liberating or are you hard and think tears are for whimps?


    I had tears in my eyes watching Home and Away once :eek:

    Tear Ducts bring tears to my eye :p

    Edit:too fcking late

    They actually bring tears away from your eyes to your nasal cavities thereby giving you a runny/drippy nose when you cry ;)

    You've got the wrong character there.. It was the guy that owned the crow who killed himself. That was terribly sad to watch, I agree.

    went to see "UP" a while back, opening part of the film had me in a heap, fantastic flick, have it at home on dvd and cant face watching it again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Naos


    On the previously mentioned Marley & Me front, that ripped my heart from my chest.

    "You know the way we always said you were the worst dog in the world? Well don't you beleive one word of it".

    Ow.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 688 ✭✭✭UpCork


    'The Notebook' definitely

    'Forrest Gump' gets me everytime too, don't know why :(

    Also anything about patriotism or anything like that. I'm very patriotic. You should have seen me last year in NYC on St Patrick's day - I was a blooming wreck.

    Anything involving cruelty to children as well. Can't bear to watch those kind of stories

    Also if Man Utd lose an important game - I know - ODD - a female crying over sport. lol

    Think my girlfriend might have shed a few at the start of that too :)

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