I havn't cried in a movie during over 5 years... and I just cried during the movie Click... is that odd?

I rarely even get misty at movies, but the end of that movie had me a little watery.
 
Posted by Amanecer (Member # 4068) on :
 
Odd, I know three other guys who cried during that specific movie. I fit the female stereotype of being easily moved to tears, but this movie did nothing for me. *shrugs*

I'll be the first to admit Titanic made me cry. ... What? It really was a good movie, despite it's big success!
 
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
 
I can easily be moved to the verge of tears, but I know I world get teased if I cried over a movie, so I control the urge. My biggest triggers are anything about fatherhood, particularly fathering girls and the idea of your baby growing up, or of children developing a late appreciation for the love and efforts of their parents.

I haven't seen Click.

Icarus, I think those are close to my husband's triggers, too. That and kids losing parents. When I was pregnant with Emma, he cried during Lilo and Stitch. We had to stop the movie and talk about him losing his father and his fears related to fatherhood... Not that that's a bad thing.

Me, I cry at the drop of a hat. But kids in danger and parents giving away their children to save them are my biggest triggers.

By the end of Serenity, I was an absolute wreck. I bawled pretty much through the entirety of the credits. That was one of maybe three times in the last seven or eight years that I've cried more than a tear or two at a time, and the only significant crying event brought on by a movie.
 
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
 
I was ready for . . . um . . . the first thing in Serenity, not because anybody had spoiled it for me, just because if I'd had to guess, that's what I would have guessed. I was not ready for the second bad thing (or the last two, depending on how you look at it) and I was stunned for a good bit afterward, but not particularly emotional.

I don't think I've ever cried during a movie. But I've come close, most recently when watching Radio a few years ago.
 
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
 
I cry during movies, I cry at certain songs. Cayla's favorite song this time of year is "Christmas Shoes." I start crying even before the kids start singing at the end. There's a book based on the song - all I need is for them to make a movie from the book! [Roll Eyes]

Icarus - my friends loaned me their DVD of Serenity months ago and I still haven't worked up the nerve to watch it. I don't know what happens yet, and I don't want to, but I am too afraid to watch. I really love those characters. I'm sure I'll bawl when I finally get around to watching it. :'(

I cry frequently during movies. I'm so sentimental.

Good news. The movie (IIRC from last year) is so incredibly cloyingly sweet that it will provoke nausea, not tears.

The movie was a "straw that broke the camel's back" thing [Added: that is, I might not have broken down so compeltely had I seen it at a different point in my life], though what affected me most wasn't either of the events you're talking about.

I started crying during sports movies a few years back, then I randomly lost it watching the trailer for the movie Evelyn.

Don't watch Chinese movies then KQ or Sophie's Choice.

I've never cried at a movie yet, though I got close during the long resolution of Return of the King (loved that it was long by the way).

When I saw The Elephant man if I had not left the room I probably would have cried (I was 9 at the time though). I can be moved to tears when saying goodbye to my family, I know I am quite capable of tears if worked right, but movies just don't do it to me...yet.

the only movies I've cried at:
City of Angels (every time when he's shopping for pears at the end)
50 First Dates (watching the movie at the end)
Finding Neverland

but that's just me, and I get crap for the 50 first dates, but it's a really touching movie. I'll have to see once I get around to click

I'll be intentionally vague to avoid spoilers for Libbie: the landing sequence, near the end.

Cried during-

Howl's Moving Castle
My Neighbour Totoro (It was so sweet the way the children loved their mother so much)
That movie with Robin William's playing a 10 year old which made me feel uncool, but what could I do?
I got weepy during L of the R, especially the last one... Weep city! Endless amounts of uncool mushy eye drippage! It's like they did it on PURPOSE!
There's several others, but I can't think of them right now, or maybe it's too embarassing.
I also got weepy in parts of the anime Haibane Renmei. Stupid parts like when one character made lunch for the other one becuase she knew she couldn't get home in time to eat... That was so sweet of her! Human kindness in movies tends to make me get weepy for some reason and stuff with kids in danger. I think I got weepy during Nobody Knows, i WILL cry if I watch Grave of the Firefly again, but i'm never watching those again ever.

My Andersen cousens are all notorious for crying at almost anything. I made the mistake, once, of actually going to a movie with a group of them. It was "Imitation of Life". I never did that again. In fact, I can hardly see a white mule without adverse memories.
 
Posted by Lisa (Member # 8384) on :
 
I cried at Snoopy Come Home when I was little. More recently, though, "What Dreams May Come" and the ST:TNG ep "The Inner Light" had me out and out sobbing. I think "Somewhere In Time" had that effect as well, which should teach me to stay away from Richard Matheson movies.

Aw, jeez... the first time I saw that movie, I saw it coming. I remember going back in forth in my head, "They're gonna kill her." "No, way. That's beyond wrong." "There's no way she's riding her bike like that and makes it out alive." "Absolutely not. That's gratuitously mean." "Sh**, I can't believe they actually did it."

I don't remember if I cried or not. I just remember being so horrified that I was like in shock.

I did as well (AI), but I was furious even as I was crying, because I knew how blatantly I was being manipulated. I don't think I've seen a Spielberg movie since then, and it's going to take something really spectacular to get me to give him another chance after that.
 
Posted by Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (Member # 7476) on :
 
God, I sooo hate City of Angels. It was an ex GF of mines favorite movie. Every time she watched the scene with the bike she would break down and cry. Well HBO has this very bad habit of showing the same movie over and over again and to my horror every time she flipped to HBO the movie was on. It's like Groundhogs Day, but worse.

For me the last movie I cried while watching, I'd say Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the scene near the end .

Clementine: This is it, Joel. It's going to be gone soon.
Joel: I know.
Clementine: What do we do?
Joel: Enjoy it.

After that I just lost it.


But the piece of media that has caused me to cry the hardest? The end of the Graphic Novel Maus II. I can only read both books once every like 10 years.

I cried when the Mariner's boat got blown up in Waterworld and when the boats got blown up in Sahara.

That downward spiral in Click was so drawn out that I nearly gagged. Such an obvious attempt to pull the viewer's chain.
 
Posted by hansenj (Member # 4034) on :
 
I have gotten quite weepy in recent years. My low point was the tears streaming down my face after watching the trailer for Eight Below. Yep, the sled dog movie. I told Paul right there that I didn't think I could handle seeing that movie.

Yes, yes, yes. Every time.

My trigger is older or elderly people (they don't even have to die, just be alone or sad). Gets me every time.
 
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
 
That's a nice song. There's another nice country song about parenting a daughter out right now that gets me--not that Tim McGraw one, though. I can't think of what it is. Something about the father reminding the daughters' suitor that he loved her first.

But I get the same reaction as Lisa described having to the movie A.I., to the song "Butterfly Kisses." If I am forced to listen to that song from beginning to end, I will cry, but I loathe and detest that song, because it's so calculatedly manipulative, right down to the #$@%! sound effects. If it comes on when I am getting ready in the morning, I turn off the radio. On Father's Day, I pretty much don't listen to the radio at all.

See, for me, it's old married people. The success that they have had keeping their relationship alive is overpoweringly beautiful to me. And then when one partner in an elderly marriage passes on, that gets me in a whole different way.

Yes, the old married people gets me too, in the different way. I forgot about that. I will just bawl seeing old people hold hands.
 
Posted by dean (Member # 167) on :
 
I really feel like people who never cry in movies are not wholly human.

I cried all the way through Grave of the Fireflies, and now I can't watch any part of it or hear any part of the music without bursting into tears.

Sometimes I'll get so that the covers of children's books will make me want to well up, but I usually suppress that.

For me, movies are so much more real than life is because they're like life, image-wise, but they're more straightforward. The feelings are more pure from movies.

And of course I cried at the end of Manon of the Spring. And the end of Cyranno de Bergerac.

But really I cry at any well-made movie with sad bits.

I have that reaction to "Butterfly Kisses" and "Cat's in the Cradle". And "Seasons in the Sun" (God help me). And... "Rocky". Not the boxing one, but the song. "Rocky, I've never had to die before, don't know if I can do it..." Sheesh. I just got chills typing that line.

Oh, I like "Cat's in the Cradle"!

Daddies and their children are sure to get me weeping in no time flat. I am afraid to go see Pursuit of Happyness for this reason.

And music. You can have the sappiest scene going on, and if you put the right music to it, I'll cry anyway. It's awful.

When I first saw "Steel Magnolias" I cried a bit, but I saw it again a few years later, after I was a mother, with a daughter and I just lost it. I guess I identified with the mother more that time, and it got to me, especially when they ask her if she's okay and she says "I'm fine! I could jog all the way to Texas if I wanted to! But my daughter can't!" [Cry]

Return of the King is a sob fest for me, in so many ways. I cry at all the great scenes but the one that caught me by surprise was when I first saw the extended DVD and saw Eomer finding Eowyn on the battlefield.

I cry a lot in movies, (and yes, I cried, even to the extent of needing a tissue) during Click.

The movies that I have absolutely just boo-hooed during were Life is Beautiful and Charly (an adaptation of an LDS fiction book). Steel Magnolias is a given.

Me too. And I love "Cat's In the Cradle" (have for decades), and even "Butterfly Kisses." And they all make me cry.

So does "Me and Emily" (which has the distinction of being the song that caused me to discover that I actually could drive with tears streaming down my face).

I cried my butt off this weekend when I saw Charlotte's Web. Thankfully there were only a few other people in the theater.

When I saw philadelphia, everyone in the theater was balling their eyes out. It was very uncomfortable.

One movie that always makes me cry is A League of Their Own. At the end when the two sisters meet up in the hall of fame, it gets me every time.

I'm a sucker for emotional movies.

Posted by Lissande (Member # 350) on :
 
I understand the crying and being angry about it at the same time. I hate knowing that I am being cheaply manipulated, but I cry anyway.

The first movie I remember formulating that thought with was A Walk to Remember (sobbed through the last half hour or so, though for reasons slightly different than the ones they intended, I think). I am actually still angry at the moviemakers over that one.

And most recently, The Notebook. I started uncontrollably sobbing when I realized what was going to happen and stopped about twenty minutes after the movie was over. (At least Tzadik was in it with me on that one [Smile] )

Basically I just hate Nicholas Sparks, I guess.

edit: and now having spent a few minutes looking at his site to verify the above titles, I dislike him even more. Stupid site. *cranky*

The last time bawled uncontrolably in a movie, it was...at the very end of Dead Poets Society. Not the 'sad' part (which I thought over-romanticized young adult angst and suicide) but the very end, which was supposed to be uplifting.

The hubby and I went to see it, when we were just dating. He said it was a relief to see my cry when it wasn't his fault. [Big Grin]

I'm generally not a weeper, I think.

Thing is, when I was a kid, there was a TV show... I used to think it was Room 222, but now I suspect it wasn't. There was a high school kid, and he got leukemia. Towards the end of the episode, he plays in a talent show at school, and sings this song. I think they designed the whole episode around it, girlfriend named Michelle, disapproving father, best friend...

The last scene was when they came into the classroom to let everyone out early because he'd died.

I was probably 10 years old or so when I saw it, and I'm hardwired to cry at the damned song now.

I'm not much for crying in theaters, though I will admit to getting misty. When I'm at home and have my pillow and blanket to hide behind I tend to get a little more snivelly. I think Riding in Cars with Boys was my most recent 'cry movie' incident. That was actually pretty bad, I cried through pretty much the whole thing. I'm gonna blame it on hormones.

I'm not any better with books. I can't even -talk- about The Cat who went to Heaven without tearing up.

I cry a lot at movies... which can be kind of embarrassing.

One thing that always gets me is when lots of people work together for the benefit of their friends or society. Like in "Moulin Rouge!" somehow the most moving part for me is not what happens in the end, but right before that when all the show folk work together to stop the evil guy.

In general movies dealing with friendship make me cry more than actual romantic ones. I actually just finished watching a Korean film called "3-Iron" and that's one of the rare romantic films that made me cry. The ending was just beautiful. (Also, "Parapluies de Cherbourg" always makes me cry... wonder if I should really confess that.)

In the BBC television adaptation of "Gormenghast" there is the scene when they come to tell the Countess that her daughter is dead. She hasn't shown any love to her daughter at any time during the show, and now a single tear falls to her cheek. Somehow so poignant and beautiful.

In "Mean Creek" when the kids go to the dead boy's mother to tell what happened.

In "Amélie" when the guy finds the box of his childhood.

The Cultural revolution scenes in "Farewell My Concubine".

In "Welcome to the Dollhouse" when the main character has to give the speech to her school and everybody starts booing and throwing stuff at her.

Hmm... These are just from the top of my mind. There are probably others.

You know, when I stop to think about it, it doesn't take much to bring me to the brink of tears. I'll only actually let myself break down if there's no one around, and then it's usually like only a tear or two before I get a grip on myself. And it's usually tears of joy that do it for me... not sadness. The only movie I can think of off the top of my head that gets me with sadness is The Land Before Time.

For bringing me to the brink, usually happy moments:

October Sky -- when he reconciles with his dad and then the ending.
Cool Runnings -- when they finish the race at the end.
Buffy Season 6 -- end of the last episode. You know which part I'm talking about if you've seen it.
Battlestar Galactica -- Home, when Dee finally convinces him to reunite the fleet.

Serenity didn't make me cry, it just left me really upset and in shock.

I went into The Pursuit of Happyness yesterday fully expecting to cry, but I didn't at all. It was sad but good. I actually usually cry in animal movies like Black Beauty, Old Yeller, and Where the Red Fern Grows.
I might have cried the first time I watched Serenity but I saw Firefly afterwards so it lost some of the affect. I have some friends who litteraly sobbed during the end, but I thought it was a pretty happy satisfying ending. [Dont Know]

I rarely cry during movies, and I never cry in movie theatres (they're too public). However, my eyes watered the point of needing to wipe tears away the other night as I watched The Holiday.

Now that is embarrassing. Geez.

I cry all the time in movies. I can't list them. I cry when I read books to, which makes it hard to continue reading.

Whenever I reread 'Where the REd Fern Grows', I stop after the big contest.

Since I hate crying in theaters, I never prepare for it. Which is stupid and gross, because when those inevitable moments come, I end up with a drippy nose and tears running (silently) down my cheeks with no tissue in sight. My friends never say anything, but I'm sure they don't miss the hem to face movement(s), no matter how surreptiously I try to hide it/them. Darn those mini-ninja skills!

Of course, if I'm at home, all bets are off and I'm a total waterspout. A few weeks back when watching a J-drama called "Attack No.1", I cried about 2-3 times...per each of the 11 episodes. *hangs head in shame* Darn that hurt.

Grave of the Fireflies still ranks in my top 5 of seriously heart-rending movies. Depression gripped me for 2 days after. (Of course, it didn't help that I'd watch Royal Space Force Honneamise right before and so fell from an incredible highs to the plummeting depths of a dark, dark pit.)

If I ever read that book again, I will do that.
I HATE BOOKS WHERE THEY KILL OFF THE DOG OR HORSE OR WHATEVER AS A SYMBOL OF A BOY OR A GIRL GROWING UP!
Why do they do that? It's unbearable. Can't they grow up without losing their beloved pet, and certainly not like that! That was such a cruel way for the dogs to go and what the parents said about it. [Mad]
If I have kids, I hope I don't say something like that when they lose their pet >< *Growl*
Also, when I read Wise Child I stop before the last chapter.
The last few chapters make me angry.

Only two movies have even made me teary. A Walk To Remember did it in spite of myself, even though that's about as irredeemable of a chick-flick as there is. Then there was the scene in Return of the King where Sam starts carrying Frodo up the mountain. Other than that, I'm a fairly good stoneface. I'm a believer in the 'real men don't cry. Much, anyway' philosophy.

I cried today! I has never seen Miracle on 34th street and didn't expect anything but a cute holiday show but when the little dutch girl sits on Santa's lap and he start speaking to her in her language the look on her face just had me burst into tears. My Hubby laughs at me. I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME at ST:TNG "Inner Light", Steel Magnolias, the very end of 50 First Dates, and I can't watch What Dreams May Come anymore. When we saw it in the theatre, we came out and our shirts were wet from the tears. Oh an A.I., can't do that one again either. Anything with kids kills me and it's worse now being a Mommy. I put everything in the contexts of Leslie and I lose it!
