My wife cried watching Elizabeth:The golden years - I'm still trying to figure out why

Is it worth seeing?

[Red Barchetta]

I've shed a tear watching

Titanic

Saving Private Ryan

Schindler

[Silvereel]

I hate to be seen crying while watching a film... however I do, though it takes a good movie. The most recent was Beowulf, oddly enough, a few tears came out at his funeral. Another one that made me cry was Shadowlands.

[Jim]

The Diving Bell and The Butterfly.

I bawled.

Don't think I've ever cried over a movie, but a few have left me with a lump in the throat and damp-eyed. The only two that I recall the titles of are Bicentenial Man (when shown on tv) and the only one that affected me at the cinema Silent Running (had to delay my exit - great closing song). Seems strange that the ones that affected me most were about non-humans, does that say something about me?

I'm with you. If i hadn't proven so many times not to be three laws compliant, I'd start to wonder....

I quite like to cry at films but there are only two that genuinely make me cry: The Incredible Journey (1967) - I'm welling up just thinking about it, and Eight Below - these days I've started bawling before the end of the titles because I know what's coming!
I have cried at a couple of others but it hasn't been because of the film as much as what's been going on in my life at the time, like Terms of Endearment, Love, Actually, Thelma and Louise. Can't think what else but I know there have been some. I haven't even come close to crying in a Bond film.

[Double-0-7]

No, absolutely not. Never.

Unless you count [film=99]On Her Majesty

[[dark]]

The Diving Bell and The Butterfly.

I bawled.

Really, Jim? What were your thoughts on Mathieu Amalric's performance?

I have thought about seeing it.

[Blonde Bond]

Casino Royale and Revenge of the Sith from the new-er movies.

I'm sure there's plenty of other movies too... that have reduced me to tears.


And... um... those were just wet eyes, that I had ... I wasn't actually crying. Fer t' luve of gawd!


Although, I must admit that there was this one movie, many years ago, that made me cry for real. I'm not sure what that movie was. But it was sad.

[minder125]

The Iron Giant & Brian's Song

Both make me well up

This always brings a tear to my eye. . .

Titanic always makes me shed a few tears, especially during the later stages of the sinking when it shows the third class woman reading to her children in bed. One of the most powerful scenes in any movie, in my opinion. The film is heavily criticized, but I think it's a brilliant movie.

[sharpshooter]

Batman and Robin was pretty bad...

[Blonde Bond]

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial


I saw it again today and I can't believe that movie still makes me cry. I had to seriously hold my tears, as I watched the latter part of the movie.

Damn you E.T! Damn you to hell! (for making me sad and blue)

[SilencedPPK]

I am a big weeper when it comes to movies. I have cried at quite a few. OHMSS, Casino Royale, The Notebook, Titanic, P.S. I Love You, Ben Hur, Gladiator, Castaway (when Wilson gets lost at sea...), and I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of any more at the moment.

[DamnCoffee]

Homeward Bound makes me shed a tear.

[sark]

Try not to take it too personally (I certainly hope no one bursts into tears because of this
But when exactly did it become acceptable for men to cry during movies? I'm assuming at least 50% of the people posting here are of the male pursuasion.
I think of all the men I want to be like, and not one of them would weep like a 12 year old during a movie.
It's just my opinion, so try to refrain from attacking my person, but to me weeping while watching a movie demonstrates a lamentable lack of self-control.

As an aside, some people have mentioned titanic. Last time I watched with was with some friends. At the moment when Dicaprio sunk beneath the waves, my best friend and I raised a hearty toast. Yeah, I really hate that movie.

[Loomis]

Nothing has ever made me cry like OUR FRIENDS IN THE NORTH, which I saw recently on DVD. The whole thing moved me tremendously, and I had tears in my eyes during quite a few scenes, but the ending, with Oasis' "Don't Look Back in Anger" and Daniel Craig, sent me over the edge completely - it made me weep like I'd never wept before.

Perhaps it demonstrates, as sark says, a lamentable lack of self-control. Perhaps I'm like a twelve-year-old. Perhaps I'm not a man. Perhaps I don't have a stiff upper lip and maybe they ought to bring back national service so that the next generation can consist of rootin' tootin' real men. But OUR FRIENDS IN THE NORTH put me in touch with what it means to be human like no other piece of filmed drama I've ever experienced.

There are also two books that make me cry: A FOOL'S ALPHABET by Sebastian Faulks and GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS by James Hilton.

[Turn]

I'm not one to really cry, but Loomis may be glad to note I almost always get a bit choked up at the endings of Rocky and Rocky II. The man has just left his heart out in the ring and finds it again through the one he loves.

The end of OHMSS usually gets me as well. Barry's sad We Have All the Time in the World theme, Bond cradling Tracy and that close-up of the bullet hole in the windshield. Yet another part of what makes that film so effective.

The most recent film to get me a little misty was The Pursuit of Happyness.

[danielcraigisjamesbond007]

......Schindler's List....Always a tear-jerker.

[Royal Dalton]

Dalton in Hawks made me blubber like a baby (best performance by a Bond actor in anything, ever).

Glenn Ford's death in Superman gets me every time.

John Savage in Inside Moves tugged at the heartstrings.

Gene Hackman and Henry Thomas brought a tear to the eye in Misunderstood.

Erm, Gizmo singing in Gremlins made me well up...

And probably many others.

[coco1997]

The Adam Sandler movie "Click," surprisingly. After the first hour or so, which is basically your typical juvenile/potty humor typical Sandler offering (perhaps a little more toned down), the last half hour

Spoiler

in which Sandler's character is fast-forwarded through the most important events of his adult life, including the death of the family dog, his divorce from his wife, the death of his father, and ultimately, his death

really threw me for a loop and had me with tears in my eyes.

[Jaws0178]

When I was younger, where the red fern grows made me cry, old yeller kind of did, and the end of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service did too, but then something happened that changed my life, and I don't cry anymore. Just can't don't know why. I also cried during the wake scene of Star Trek: Nemesis because Data was a character that I had kind of come to really like and respect

All I can say to this is that I am glad that since I have grown up, I have an edit button because you really would not have liked what I originally posted. Now, this is just out of curiosity. You are telling me that you have never cried, not even when you were a child?

[clinkeroo]

A Beautiful Life just kills me. Schindler's List is also up there, and for some reason, back in the college days, a really sappy Peter O'toole flick called Creator got to me, it was about a man trying to clone his dead wife. Right chord at the right time, I guess.

[Judo chop]

I used to cry at the closing credits of BILL AND TED’S BOGUS JOURNEY where newspaper and magazine headlines report how B&T has brought harmony to the universe in various ways and in incrementing levels of glory. All accompanied by Kiss’ “God Gave Rock and Roll To You”.

The only time I’ve ever come close to crying in a Bond film is the final line of CASINO ROYALE. And those would be tears of overwhelming triumph.

I'm not one to really cry, but Loomis may be glad to note I almost always get a bit choked up at the endings of Rocky and Rocky II. The man has just left his heart out in the ring and finds it again through the one he loves.

Oh man. Every. Single. Time.

Rocky II hits me with a deadly combo:
First, “Win, Rocky... WIN!”
and then,
“Yo, Adrian! I DID IT!!!”

<chills as I type>

Now, do I cry during RIII, RIV, or RV? No. Not once. I feel adrenaline, testosterone and bloodlust. But never heart.
How about during RB? Yes. Yes, I do. I cry.

And that is my closing statement in the trial over which of the 6 ROCKY movies are actually Rocky movies.

[OmarB]

I hate movies/TV that tried to tug at the heart strings. I hate dramas of all stripes. I watch movies to have a good time, I watch TV to have a good time, not to be depressed or see the darker side of life. To me a movie should be a party completely contained on a DVD.

[dodge]

SPARTACUS is the only film that turned loosed the all-out weepies.

[Safari Suit]

Erm, Gizmo singing in Gremlins made me well up...

No need to be ashamed of that, I did that last time I saw it, and that was the third or forth time I'd seen it in five years. I was hopped up on pain-killers though. Still, that little guy gets to me.
