Old I know but we just watched seven pounds, jeees, I did have a tear in my eye!! However I'm soft as bollox, have to turn children in need off etc. Went to scotchland for a weekend of mountain biking in the summer, got back, kids had missed me etc, they put Up on, utterly destroyed me!!! Yeah yeah MTFU wrighty, just me?
Marley and Me is the only film that I've shed a tear over thus far. Probably because I can relate to it 🙁
Nope, not just you. I'm similar, just can't keep the tears in at times. Films are bad, but children in need is especially traumatic.
Have often wondered if it is a reaction to my father being an emotional vacuum.
7 Pounds is a good film. Can't say as I teared up but I was impressed.
Lilo and Stitch made me bubble up. Actually just thinking about that scene where he's out in the forest could get me going now. "I'm lost...". Waaaaaaahhhh.
The scene from "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" where his father calls him gets me every time 😥
Anyone who doesn't have a tear in their eye during "Up" has a heart of stone
When Arnie puts his thumb up in Terminator two always makes me cry 😉
Sensitivity is not to be embarassed about. Sometimes I can get teary watching the most stupid thing - and perhaps it's the world around me that is creating the greater emotion.
Films only make you cry cos they remind you of some aspect of your life. And being sensitive to what goes on in life is no bad thing.
Right, I'm going for a manly weep now......
Meet Joe Black makes me greet.
Not sure if it was related to the film itself or just how depressed I was at the time.
Watching the finale of Lost, when I knew what is was about, and realising I have to move on myself upset me a lot as well.
Hatchi and eight below both spring to mind. There is a link between the two and I don't mean thenumber eight.
No. Generally if I get sad at a film it's because I've got other problems I need to deal with. It's a good indicator for me to get out and enjoy stuff more.
Last time I cried about something I was watching was years ago now, it was Eastenders.
I was having the mother of all come downs after a very heavy weekend mind.
When i was 16 and schindlers list had just come out, i was an usher at our local cinema, they did a midweek daytime special showing for a load of elderly jewish people.
That was an atmosphere!
I cried like a baby, really affected me.
I now regularly gibber at sad bits e.g up, green mile, forest gump, the mission, god theres loads i even got upset at an episode of quincy once, as the missus gleefully reminds me regularly...
Hey Quincy was an emotional show!
That opening theme still puts a lump in my, er, throat....
_tom_ - MemberMarley and Me is the only film that I've shed a tear over thus far. Probably because I can relate to it
I concur.
I blubbed when I read the book, and now start to fill up when I know "that scene" is coming
Ha ha its good to know I'm not alone. I do think I may suffer from over active tear ductery or something tho 😉
the end of finding neverland hit me like a brick to the face.... luckily it seemed like i wasnt the only one as quite a few guys slunk out to the toilet straight away and were standing at the sinks washing their faces it seemed.
i dont mind admitting i'm partial to the odd tear-release, never in life when it would be appropriate... always in films.
Dead Poet's Society was the first film I cried at. I think as we get older, we find it easier to cry TBH.
Another vote for Marley and Me...I had to leave the room, didn't want my daughters (who had tears streaming down their faces) to see me in bits...must keep those emotions hidden... 😉
I cried when I read the Time Travellers Wife, but the film was a bit of an anticlimax.
Since having kids I'm a lot more emotional. I can't watch/read news stories about child abuse (such as baby P case) or I become furious and upset and can't get it out of my mind.
The Green Mile - I blubbed like a baby, I never have and never will watch it a second time.
Is everyone American on this forum?
We're British, if we started blubbing every 5 minutes we'd never get anywhere 😉
Only stuff that gets me is war documentaries and films. I just find war so bizarre but interesting all the same
never cried at a film - no shame either way
Any heroic "die to save your friends/family" act has me in bits.
And obviously anything to do with a dog being harmed.
A heroic dog dying to save a family would probably wear out a tear duct.
Recently watched Precious by Lee Daniels. I doubt anyone could watch it without crying. Incredibly emotive film dealing with very difficult subject matter.
I used to cry at Dallas and Neighbours and all kinds of rubbish when I was a kid... I'm glad I got it out of my system early
now I don't even get as much as a lip quiver
even when Mufasa dies in The Lion King
I remember watching Armageddon on a transatlantic flight years ago, and bawling like a five year old who'd just fallen off his bike.
what a bunch of pansies!
Strong men also cry

The end of Into the Wild when they zoomed into a picture of the real Chris McCandless looking gaunt sitting next to the old bus he died in

I don't care what anyone thought of him or what he did, gets me every time
I cry at loads of stuff - but 'eternal sunshine of the spotless mind' makes me cry the most.
Et was the first film I cried at as a kid.
Bunch of meatballs in gravy

It's a pretty **** film, but it's not that bad.
don't think I've ever shed a tear during a sad bit..
but the happy happy joy joy feelgood bits get a good welling up out of me nine times out of ten..
Welled up in the cinema as a kid watching ET.
Only film I've blubbed to in recent years was The Notebook - and boy did I blub.
that bit in titanic where you hope it's nearly over but it goes on and on and doesn't end.........
Only film ever to have any effect on me that way was the part in I am Legend (which was generally shocking) where the dog dies. Was pretty glad I was watching it by myself at that point, as it was pretty embarrassing.
On a slight sidetrack, watching Up In The Air by yourself in a generic hotel room, while on business was pretty depressing.
FFS chaps, get a grip!
Totally agree about Up. Not made any easier by the fact that he looks EXACTLY like my grandfather and has all the same mannerisms as he had. It was tough not to turn it off 🙁
silent running is the only film to ever make me cry.
i was about 5 at the time (still love the film tho)
+1 for [i]Silent Running[/i], I saw it as a sci fi obsessed nine year old and cried like a baby.
Also as others have probably mentioned, Spock's self sacrifice in [i]The Wrath of Khan[/i] gets me every time.
Film no 3 was [i]My Best Friend's Wedding[/i], because it was utterly, irredeemably and completely awful.
Up seems to be a killer!! I do love that film tho! Grumpy old ****er, gotta love him!!!
Withnail & I makes me cry (with laughter)
Armagedon
The end
Deep impact
Click! majorly made me water
Last film to well a tear was Control: The Ian Curtis film. I defy anyone not to be moved. Of course if you are still in your twenties, move along, nothing to see here.
I'm not one for crying in films, a couple have got me close to it, but Marley and Me had me.
