Be honest: Did You Ever Cry During A Movie?
 

I like to think I'm emotionally above crying over movies but the truth is I'm not. :lol:


Here's stuff I cried at
-
The Tree Of Life (f*cking Terrence Malick)
Lord Of The Rings (end of return of the king is beautiful)

I teared up a bit at the old picture montage in Watchmen but I'm not really proud of that one because that movie wasn't that great :lol:

Have you guys ever cried or came close to while watching a movie?

Of course. Anime, music, comics, anything that hits the spot can provoke tears on my part.

Yes, not often, but it's happened before. The last example I can think of was All is Lost.

The first movie I completely broke down at was Bridge to Terabithia, both times I watched it when it was new.

On a normal movie-watching basis, I get a little misty at the Gray Havens scene of Lord of the Rings (the music alone can do it too).

I'm one of those sods who gets it in Titanic. I'm in the "Band plays their final song over the suffering of innocent humanity" party of people. When I watched its theatrical re-release with my boyfriend at the time (who was also with me the first time watching Bridge to Terabithia...both of us completely beside ourselves), it was something more I had to look away from.

Secret of NIMH has getting emotional when Mrs. Brisby does that thing with the amulet. Magical emotional saving of the babies!

And then...there are two prime deaths that get to me.
Audrey's in the original cut of Little Shop of Horrors - this I have brought up before. The sheer tragedy of it, the music, the irony in her dream to go "somewhere that's green" going in an entirely different direction than she hoped, and once again...the music. And the way Seymour surrendering her to the plant was filmed. It's probably one of my favorite scenes of anything overall.

Recently, I watched the Korean animated movie Leafie/Daisy: A Hen into the Wild, which was about an escaped battery hen raising a duckling. I expecting schlock and drivel, and got NIMH-level storytelling...with bishonen ducks?
There had already been some really, really hefty elements beforehand, but the final minute of the movie was really something.

I came for cute chickens and ducks, not tears!

Snoopy Come Home tends to have that effect on me sometimes.

Titanic back in 1997.

Like others have said The Grey Havens from Return of the king.

The endings of Homeward Bound and Toy Story 3 always get me balling like a baby. White Fang 2 when it looks like White Fang gets hurt.

More recently the ending of Aladdin when Genie is set free cause of Robin William's passing

Absolutely. I cry at fiction all the time -- it's a good sign.

I can easily think of writing that's done it for me, though conjuring up specific films is more difficult. Especially since my tastes in films runs less sentimental.

Pretty sure I've teared up during Lost in Translation and at some point during Moonrise Kingdom.

Oh! I definitely -- and this is super weird -- started to tear up during Inherent Vice during the "What's that mean?" "I don't know" exchange about three fourths of the way through the film. Love that movie to death, and its ability to get that emotional a response out of me with a completely intellectual/unemotional line cemented its place among my favorites. One of the rare times I've walked out of a theater knowing what I'd just seen ranked that highly for me.

Fox and the Hound.

Toy Story 3
The ending of Cowboy Bebop
I was depressed after watching Evangelion

Half the time I get choked up has nothing to do with the movie at all. I have long bouts with depression and sometimes the stupidest things can trigger a heavy throat and watery eyes.

But I think the first movie to make me cry was The Green Mile.

No. Fiction has never made me cry. Of course I've felt happy and sad while watching a movie, playing a game, reading a book, wtv. before; but never cried because of it. Maybe because, at the end of the day, it's just fiction. Then again, real life occurrences such as people dying in other parts of the world don't make me cry either, so...

Armageddon, of course. Don't do it, Bruce!

Evangelion is pretty depressing if you know Anno and what he thinks of his own show. I never was too sad when watching it because almost all the characters are unlikable and I understood that the symbolism was pointless.

Tooootally forgot Toy Story 3. That definitely got me.

The only 2 I can think of at the moment.

Marley and Me
Toy Story 3

I've gotten close multiple times.

Deathly Hallows Part 2 when

LOTR at the Grey Havens.

Inside Out. Bing Bong. If you've seen the movie you know what I'm talking about. Both times I've seen it.

I do recall that my eyes were pretty much an on-and-off water faucets when watching Two Brothers.

I saw Goblet of Fire in the theaters, and the second time I saw it was when I got it on DVD. For some reason, I cried when Harry brought Cedric's dead body back and everyone was upset.

The closest I've come to crying during a film is at the end of Toy Story 3, both when they were all about to be incinerated and when Andy had his last playtime with the group.
