Men/Films/Crying discuss!

Up seems to be a killer!! I do love that film tho! Grumpy old fecker, 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.

Some films have left me sad or thinking but never cried because of a film, although The Happening all most had me in tears of boredom.

I am seriously never going to watch Marley and me! How many mentions off blubberdom on this thread from that film!

I’ve been assuming it’s some sort of weird STW running joke. That was the thing where Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson got outacted by the andrex puppy, right?

Not a film, but the most depressing thing I’ve seen on a screen.

I’m terrible with books too. Time traveller’s wife is ridiculously sad. Fantastic book though.

I remember getting a light in my eye at the end of Gladiator. And the bit in Ice Age where the baby gets handed back to the humans. No full-on blubbing, mind you, just a British lump in my British throat.

I did, however, watch most of Invictus through water-filled eyes.

Went to the cinema on my own (wife was away) to see De Niro in Awakenings. First time he walked tears rolled down my cheeks. It was dark nobody saw! That’s the only time though.
Oh, that damn bit in The Lovely Bones, where This Mortal Coil starts playing! Crikey.
Luckily it wasn’t Atmosphere by Joy Division, first song I heard after Peelie died 😥

I always lose it watching “We Were Soldiers” once all the letters home start being delivered, think I’ve watched it three times now and it always gets me meh.

Needed a moment or two to gather myself at the end of Field of Dreams.
Up pulled the strings, I was prepared for the sad bits in Toy Story 3.
My daughter was bawling when Dobby died, I thought it was done very well.

+1 for the Futurama episode with Fry’s dog – totally caught on the hop when I saw it for the first time.

Schindler’s List is another one that does it for me, along with the final moments of Gladiator and the scene in Dances with Wolves where the soldiers shoot the wolf.

Never really seem the problem with men displaying emotion.

I well up (not full blown tears, I’m a bloke) at happy and sad things. Current lump in throat special is when Nanny Macfee leaves in Nanny Macfee 2. I’f you haven’t seen it, you won’t understand but ‘No, we don’t need her any more….’ is the killer line. Plus I’d comment on Maggie Gyllenhal but of course I’m not allowed to.

On films: the episode ‘What we’re fighting for’ of Band of Brothers. Wow. I nearly dessicated myself over that.

I did alright at Toy Story 3 – or so I thought, but every time I’d thought phew, that’s the sad bit they were talking about then they just ramped it up again. The final really sad bit was really good, although my younger children didn’t think it was very sad at all – having not the same concepts of growing out of favourite toys as we do.

The real welling up time has just passed though. Remembrance Day, Nimrod, veterans selling poppies in the foyer of the local supermarket, etc., that chokes me up properly, more than any film could.

+1 for Up. Of course my daughter doesn’t get it at all – just loves the cartoon but I have something in my eye every time!

The mrs got caught out by the beginning of the new star trek fillum when kirks dad died to save the crew…
Not me, im British..

ohhhh +1 for the into of UP, end of Field of Dreams, end of toy story 3 which surprised me as i dont remember ever being attached to toys… but it must the the “growing up” aspect i suppose.

Marley and me is a proper blub-fest. If you dont there something wrong

There’s a theme going on here and it’s bloody Pixar’s fault!!!

+1 for Up and Toy Story 3

When I watched The Dead Poets’ Society for the first time, at the cinema, I really broke down crying in the car afterwards.

So many aspects I could relate to at that time of my life. Think I was about 20.

It’s a Wonderful Life

Watch it every year around Christmas and my kids find it hilarious that I blub every time. Often start blubbing before the film – as soon as the bell start ringing on the opening credits!

and Up
and Field of Dreams

and Sweet Dreams, the Patsy Cline biopic

What about the end if Shawshank? Always gets me, even though it’s a happy ending.
+1 for Marley and me and UP too!

Holy thread resurrection!! Font forget corrie last week, I cried laughing at sallys sour face!!!

Armageddon.

When big Bruce opens the bucket of sunshine at the end. I’m filling up just thinking about it.

Five children and It – near the end….

I was a teen trying my luck with a girl, at her house when she put turner and hooch on. I blubbed at the end.

shawshank is the worst ending of a film ever and ruins it IMHO I was nearer to vomiting at the sugar sweet ending than tears – ruined an otheriwse great film

The only thing which ever brings me close is generally portrails of father/son relationships. Probably because of my upbringing.

any film with a dog dying in it will make me cry

Born Free does it for me every time.

Spock’s scene at the end of The Wrath of Khan always used to do it for me.
