    Ok post which movie you cried at or tv program lads & ladies :P



    When he makes the comeback, Just a single tear :o "the Russian is cut, the russian is cut." & then the ending speech its all Epic. I can say I have never have a tear appear in my eyes in a love story movie or anything like that. I admit I do hide it thou with the "Ohh something is in my eye" :P

    oh god, im awful. basically anything where people die, im a mess.

    so i avoid pretty much all dramas. stick to cartoons and comedies. im miserable enough during real life, without watching stuff to make me more upset.

    oddly, i always get a bit emotional during the weirdest moments.

    surf's up - towards the end, when
    cody stops tank smashing chicken joe
    finding nemo - when they finally find nemo. i blubber.

    there's a million others. im awful. emotional wreck.

    oh god, even just browsing the boards, and my fella watching some drama, and gets to an emotional bit, im after shedding some tears.

    cut to very old couple on bed cuddling,
    cut to mom reading her kids Tir na Nog,
    desprate faces of people knowing their about to die and nothing can be done,
    added with great orchastra music ,ohhhh......the cinema heard me cry that day.

    best cry from a movie in my books :o

    Brokeback Mountain made me blub, and I rarely cry at films.
    At Cinema Paradiso, I bawled. The music is so beautiful too it's hard not to get emotional.

    The old reliables like The Champ and It's A Wonderful Life bring a tear to my eye. I cried reading the Green Mile and I cried in the cinema watching it, even though I knew what was coming.

    I was stifling a laugh at Titanic, it was so cheesy and overblown.

    During "Fifty First Dates" when Adam Sandler is standing around with a bunch of short term memory patients chatting to them and they keep forgetting stuff in like 10 seconds. That made me cry.

    Other than that oddity, the usual suspects:

    Gladiator
    Schindler's List
    Airplane (I laughed till I cried)
    The sound of the wife's car in the driveway. :rolleyes:

    I cried with laughter at the Famil Guy piss take. Pure genius :D

    Braveheart - The ending (when Wallace screams 'freedom' while being tortured). I was 10 at the time.

    The Wire - When Mike says goodbye to Bug and Dukie. Hard not to get emotional. Just a few weeks ago.

    Shrek - Made me cry with laughter for most of the film. One of the greatest of all time.

    The Lion King - When the lion fell off the cliff after fighting with Scarface. I blubbered. :(

    They're the ones I remember. Probably weren't anymore actually. I'm hard.

    At the end of Brokeback Mountain
    The ending of The Notebook
    The end of The Shipping News
    The end of When Harry Met Sally
    The bit in Bambi when his Mummy dies
    The bit in Dumbo where the mummy elephant puts her trunk out between the bars and rocks baby Dumbo...

    And the old episode of Frasier, where Niles and Daphne dance the tango and he thinks she's declaring her feelings for him, but she tells him she was just playing along...

    Beaches


    Why do we sit through movies that will make us the emotional equivalent of jelly fish? Never watched tearjerkers after crying through Beaches. Hate crying :mad:.. i like laughing, so give me something to cry laughing at.

    Heard wonderful stuff about "the notebook" but you'd have to put a gun to my head to get me to watch it.

    haha but The Pianist was the worst/best...when Adrien Brody nearly gets shot I almost died crying and when he couldnt open the tin, and then he did and it spilled....oh weep weep clutching of asp to bosom. I love to cry during films, I never cry in real life. :)

    Oddly enough was just looking some clips relevant to this, didn't cry for any of these but did find them really sad:
    • Full Metal Alchemist - series end, there were a few other really sad bits in that series, e.g. the last time they face sloth.
    • Full Metal Alchemist - movie end
    • This little cartoon strip has a sad note to it too if you've watched the series and movie IMO:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxPlIHIlPnI

    • Babylon 5 - Tragedy of telepaths
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLi0XZav9-A

    • Babylon 5 - Sleeping In Light

      Both the above series are great for making you really care about the characters.:(
    • The end of the film Powder.
    • Betty Blue,
      where he smothers her with the pillow
      .
    • Armageddon,
      the scene where Harry takes AJ's place
      (I know odds are everyone's seen this but best to err on the safe side).
    • 30 Days of Night
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoIgj_qK3oY

    • At the end of The Butterfly Effect.

    It would probably be easier for me to make a list of the films/programs I haven't cried at but these are the first few that come to mind...

    The Holiday - when he's talking about being a widower...

    Mar Adentro - In a big way. I was on the verge of tears the whole way through this film. Poignant isn't the word for it.

    The episode of Lost where
    Charlie dies
    .

    This is my Father.

    pretty much sums me up to a T.

    the latest for me would be in the latest episode of prison break
    the tearjerking speech t-bag gave about bellick after he heard he had died.

    Big Fish

    The Iron Giant

    And the RTE 'Stardust' programme had me crying for a while too, but that was for real real, that was something that actually mattered, and made me feel guilty for crying at the two above.

    I cry at everything, I'm the worst,

    The last thing I really really cried at was Liam dying in coronation Street, Oh my god, for two hours afterwards I was crying and when I went to bed I was even blubbing.

    If i listed the things i cried at we would be here for the day.
