Last song to make me cry: "Letters from Home" by John Michael Montgomery
Last movie to make me cry: I'm a bit of a blubberhead in movies, so I can't remember the most recent--I think it was "The Shawshank Redemption" I watched a few weeks ago.
Last book to make me cry: "Lost Boys," I think.
Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :
Last song to make me cry* was "Come what May" from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack. But it was a happy cry because I was thinking about Chris at the time.
Last movie to make me cry* was Finding Neverland which I saw on a bus trip to NYC this past weekend.
I can't remember the last book to make me cry.
*cry: get watery-eyed with emotion or get that lump in my throat that would make my voice crack if I were to speak.

Last song: believe it or not, but also "Letters from home" that one gets me everytime i hear it.
Last movie: I hate to admit it, but 'the notebook', right after she suddenly remembers who he is and then forgets again.
Last book: SOTG, actually. When Petra is reunited with her children and Andrew says "Hello, Mama."
Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :
Wow, that's strange. I also saw The Notebook on the bus this weekend. It got me teary eyed, too, and technically I saw it after I saw Finding Neverland. My reaction to Finding Neverland was stronger so that's why I chose it over the other.
And another interesting coincidence, I just finished SotG yesterday, so while it didn't exactly make me cry, it was the last book I read. Now I'm reading Angels and Demons. I suspect I will escape it with dry eyes as well.

Hmmm, I watched The Bumblebee Flies Anyway last night, and parts of it hit pretty close to home, so I cried.
Books generally don't make me cry.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition makes me cry every time.
Oprah makes me cry often enough that I prefer to watch Ellen.
Olympic moments make me cry.
Charlotte's Web (the old animated movie) makes me cry.
Posted by El JT de Spang (Member # 7742) on :
I'm not generally a "crier" (once a year, like a physical) so some of these aren't recent:
Movie: Radio Book: Say goodnight, Gracie Song: None? (can't remember ever crying because of a song)
Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :
As much as it goes against what I'd like to believe about myself, I have to admit: LOTS of things. Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
Last Song: None, songs don't make me cry.
Movie: I haven't seen any sad movies recently. Monty Python and the Holy Grail made me cry because its so funny.
Book: Odd Thomas , I'm probably the only person in the whole world who cried because of this book (I haven't read Lost Boys).

The last thing was actually CT's landmark, while listening to Advertising on Police Cars by the Matthew Good Band.
Posted by DarkKnight (Member # 7536) on :
I can't believe I am responding to this thread... Last song: Hold on by Good Charlotte Last Movie: the Iron Giant, I have no idea why but that movie always gets me Last Book: Ender's Game, this always gets me too, but I know why
Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
Last time I cried was when I picked up the entry form for St Jude's Hospital Quilt of Dreams and read the dreams St Jude's kids listed.
Posted by HesterGray (Member # 7384) on :
There are two movies that always make me cry* multiple times. Forrest Gump and A League of Their Own. It's horrible! I even cry at the part where the one girl can't read so she doesn't know what team she's on, and the other girl goes over to help and tells her she's a Rockford Peach.
And then I don't cry at other normal stuff, like The Notebook.
*Meaning at least, tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
I started watching my Firefly DVDs the other day, and I think that when I get to the last three episodes I might cry. I didn't the other times I've seen them, but I might this time just because I'm not at my best these days.

Shawshank Redemption makes me bawl if I watch it alone.
Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :
But it has a super-mega-happy ending!
Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :
The Ballad of the Wind Fish, I can't bare to hear that song without shedding a single tear.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
It does--I think that's WHY I cry.
*spoiler alert*
When Red goes to the field, and finds the box with the letter from Andy, I'm done for. All that crap they went through, and it worked out, you know? I dunno. Maybe I'm a sucker for voiceovers done by Morgan Freeman.

I think the last time for me was at the end of SotG...

Oh, I had forgotten about that....I cried like a baby when that came out.

Last song that made me cry : Wicked ways (Chris Isaak) Last movie that made me cry : Million Dollar Baby (Clint Eastwood) Last book that made me cry : The last one of the Fool's series (Robin Hobb) But actually, I cry all the time.
Posted by starlooker (Member # 7495) on :
I haven't cried in a long time, actually. I need to go and rent a tearjerker movie. Although, it's quite possible that I'm just selectively ignoring experiences.
Last Song: "I Would Change My Life" -- Nanci Griffith (I've listened to this song approximately 1 million times in my life. Time 1 million and 1 happened at such a time to make me tear up.)
Last Book: Either "The Hundred Dresses" or "Effective Treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" (I don't know how my cats know it... one minute, I was reading the book for internship, the next minute I hadn't moved but was just staring fixedly at the page with tears coming out of my eyes. The next thing I know, Tara was in my lap, purring and licking at my tears. Amazingly sensitive cat.)
Last Movie: I honestly don't remember. I need to see more movies. I think "Friday Night Lights" made me tear up when the father put his ring on his son's hand at the end of the big game.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
quote:Wicked ways (Chris Isaak)
Anna, I LOVE Chris Isaak. Wicked Game was awesome, Go Walkin' Down There is also another great song. Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
Song: Effing Christmas shoes. Stupid glurgiest song ever. There was probably one inbetween there but I can't really remember. Book: Harry Potter? Dunno. Movie: I just watched the end of second season of Slayers (anime) on video this weekend, and it made me cry. Again. It always makes me cry.

Stuff that makes me cry?
Most Pixar movies, at some point. Monsters Inc. was particularly nasty about targeting young fathers. When skully has the picture in the end with the splinter from the door, well.... It's insidious, I tell you!
Recently: Grave of the Fireflies-- but I was more P-O'd than sad.
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
Last Tv Show: Firefly (teary-eyed)
Last Movie: Nobody Knows. (more than teary-eyed)
Last Book: David Copperfield, when Dora calls Agnes up to her room.
Last Song: Hm. I don't often cry for songs.
Posted by The Pixiest (Member # 1863) on :
I'd like to point out before I post this that I am a total sap. I really love sappy stuff.
Last Book: Harry Potter when Molly and Sirius were fighting over Harry.
Last Song: If I'm in the right mood I can get weepy over anything that's particularly beautiful. This last happened with Appalacian Spring. I turned it way up, closed my eyes and just sank into the music. "Is This" by Oingo Boingo can get me with the lyrics and memories attached to the song.
Last Movie/TV Show: "Once More With Feeling" Buffy makes my emotions run high anyway, but when you mix it with song, and the arc of that particular episode...

I rarely cry over stuff, but...
Last song to make me cry: What A Wonderful World (It makes me cry every time, it's such a beautiful song!)

Last book to make me cry: A Walk to Remember

Me too. Mine died earlier this year though. It hits me a lot, lately.
Posted by Desdemona (Member # 7100) on :
Movie: The Lion King. When Simba finds Mufasa dead, and doesn't realise what happened.
Book: A lot of books make me cry. The most recent: Probably the Railway Children.
Song: A few make me cry. Tears in Heaven (Eric Clapton), always.
I cry a lot lately.
Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
Ryuko and Desdemona, Tears in Heaven and The Christmas Shoes have to be the world's saddest songs, ever. Oh my God.
My husband and son ran into the grocery store one night, leaving me in the car alone (near Christmas) and when they came back out to the car, I was bawling like a baby because of that stupid Christmas Shoes song! And when Tears in Heaven first came out, I couldn't listen to the song without ending up sobbing like child. Maybe because his son's death was still so new, but I seem to have gotten over it. I can listen to it now without falling apart, but only if I don't pay much attention to it.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Every single time, all the time. It's just so happy!
Oh, and aside from that, I think the last time I cried was when I realized my friend with Alzheimer's was actually dying.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
Book- Umm I reread a page of the first Betsy Tacy today, where a five year old explains that the other ones sister went to heavan, oh man that made cry.
The last movie I saw was Steel Magnolia's, so probably that.
Song, I think I cryed yesterday when Seven Bridges Road by the Eagles was on the radio, it makes me cry because most things that my old schools chior sang do, at least at their final concert.

I take that back, I haven't heard that song in a while.
The last time I cried over a song, was when a friend of mine played a goodbye song on the piano for the camp talent show. She played it in front of the entire camp, and sang so beautifully, and she dedicated it to our girl scout troop. Most of us are seniors, and that was our last camp-out together. It was so sad, I bawled like a baby.

Strangely enough, I cried at the end of both the Dune movie and the Dune miniseries...It was a very emotional ending for me. I also cried during the Neon Genesis Evangelion ending movie, Battle Royale, and Requiem for a Dream. As for books, I cried during the Amber Spyglass, Dreamer of Dune, and a couple others.

Last song: Butterfly Kisses
Last Movie/TV show, since I've never cried in a movie: Sex in the City. Dead serious.
Last book: Hmm. Can't think of one, actually.
*Note: These two are the only times I've ever cried at something I heard, read, or saw. I'm a callous person, and it takes a moment when I'm stretched emotionally anyways.
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
I bawl whenever I see Big Fish. And I'm holding off on watching Hotel Rwanda until I'm not going to be interrupted by roommates.
The Movie That Makes Me Cry (And Hasn't Been Mentioned Yet): Elizabeth
Most Recent Movie: Finding Neverland Most Recent Book: Yikes. Maybe SotG? Maybe the Iliad? Can't remember... Most Recent Song: None, really, but the saddest song I've heard recently is "Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel," by BNL. Very very sad. Posted by Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (Member # 7476) on :
Last movie: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Last book: SOTG Last song: Someone to watch over me (everytime I hear the song I remember a comercial which had the song. The comercial was about a guy with full blown AIDS waiting for someone to bring him food. He sat sat there looking out the window. Anyhow, I haven't seen the comercial in like 10 years, yet I can't forget it.)

Surprisingly, I misted up during Good Will Hunting just now.

Posted by littlemissattitude (Member # 4514) on :
Sometimes I think everything makes me cry.
HesterGray mentioned A League of Their Own. That one gets me every blessed time, starting when the girl who was raised by her dad leaves him to go play ball. I suppose that scene destroys me because I was very close to my dad, and one of the manifestations of that closeness was our shared love of baseball. And KarlEd mentioned Finding Neverland. I just finally saw that a couple of days ago, and I cried buckets.
Songs that make me cry: John Lennon's "Just Like Starting Over" does it to me every time, considering the circumstances.
TV shows: For some reason, The West Wing always makes me cry. Always. Even when it's an episode I've seen 10 times.
Stupidest thing that make me cry: Awards shows. Every time someone wins an award, I cry, idiot that I am.

That was exactly when it happened for me. But I almost never cry at movies.

Yah... ok I'm a blubbery anime geek...
Last book to make me cry was Blue Mars... when Sax and Ann get together.
Let see.. last movie to make me cry was when I watched Return of the King the other day and Gandy talks about the afterlife in Valinor...and of course when the High Elves leave.

I cry for lots of reasons. I can't remember precisely the *last* time I cried over specific things, but I'll tell you what gets me every time:
Movie/TV: Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Every frickin time. Even the "How did they do that?" spin off on Mondays, even though I already know what happened because I watched the Actual Show the day before. I am a complete sap.
Song: The entire "O, Brother Where Art Thou?" album, because that is what I played when I drove my labrador to the airport to send her away to a rescue organization. She had bitten my three-year old (totally Christopher's fault, but he was three years old, and I couldn't send *him* away!) and it was a very emotional time. When "Angel Band" started and I heard "Take me away on your snow-white wings", I broke down completely. It still gets me sometimes.
Book: Lost Boys got me good, also "Deep End of the Ocean" (I was a new mom when I read that). I almost couldn't finish either of those.
Elementary school recitals make me cry. The little kids up there are working so hard at simply not peeing themselves and singing their little hearts out. It's so sweet. *sniffle* I'm so glad that I can sit to my friend Jill (her son is in my son's class) during these things, she cries too.

last things that made me cry:
book- his dark material triology in general, especially the end.
music- anything by paper route when i'm in the right mood, as well as a piece that one of my profs wrote based on "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde.
movie- fox and the hound. hardcore bawling....
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
Last movie to make me cry: "Pay it forward", the ending. It's one of the most powerful endings I've ever seen. And the music is just perfect.
What *didn't* make me cry was "The Notebook". I somehow didn't manage to connect with that movie. Everybody else said it's a good one, but for me it's an average-ok-almost-waste-of-time. Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
I've became misty eyed during Sarah Bolger's rendition of Desperado in In America and most of the second hour of Hotel Rawanda.
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
Yeah, I also cried a lot during "Hotel Rwanda". As did quite a few other people in the cinema.
And if you care for some oddities of mine:
*minor spoilers from "Contact", the movie* . . . . . Everytime I see it I cry when Ellie first hears the extra terestrial signal. The thought of someone having his/her dream fulfilled like that...
