Oh good lord. I no longer watch movies I think will make me cry. They get in my head and STAY there. But not that many movies will do that anymore.

As I've gotten older, I've developed a thicker shell, so I can usually think my way around stuff that once would have had me all boo-hooey (I ALMOST cried during the Afleck/Willis goodbye scene in Armageddon, until I reminded myself that, damn, they are both making more money than I ever will to cry on cue and DAMN IT if I'm going to cry on cue for free!)

Usually what happens to me in movies is adrenalin jitters -- my legs will start shaking and jerking up and down, I'll practicaly rip the arm off whomever is unlucky enough to be sitting next to me (usually ABG and you thought he worked out for vanity's sake). It's annoying. All three LotR movies left me exhausted. We have them on DVD but I don't want to watch them -- the images are still very clear and I just can't work myself up to that emotional pitch another time. I don't LIKE reacting like that, but I DO.


A.I. tore me apart (let's say I have some issues about losing my mother, m'kay? I've sworn off Steven Spielburg movies forever)

An Affair to Remember -- mild tearjerker, and that's ok (but NOT Sleepless in Seattle)

A Leage of Their Own

Bambi (some more childhood trauma)

Dumbo (ditto)

Old Yeller (and they make this movies for KIDS?)



Probably more, but I've wiped them from my mind. In general, I do not enjoy crying, even so called "tears of happiness".

forgot Densel

Forgot a recent one

Man on Fire- one of the best acted movies I have ever seen. The relationship between Desel and the little girl...heartbreaking

 

[English Lady]

Oh my, we could be here a loooooong time.

Watership down. Just sing "Bright eyes" and I sob.

What Dreams May Come

Patch Addams

City of Angels

ET *sobs*

Green Mile (awwww da ikkle mousey)

Lion King


And millions more, those are just ones that jump to mind. I mean, I sob my heart out watching "Extreme Makeover- home edition" I'm pretty free with the tears

 

[English Lady]

Aww Lord, Dumbo. *sobs* Baby Mine....every time I hear it...and the theme song from Tarzan -makes me cry like a baby everytime I hear it. (You'll be in my heart)

Lion King! I got MAD because I cried!

I won't see Watership Down. I cried through the book.

The Note Book
The Green Mile
Pay It Forward
A Walk To Remember

 

[Lauren Hynde]

I was never one to cry at movies; I don't remember it happening ever.

Until I started taking cortisone last February. Since then, I cry at everything, even episodes of Scrubs.

Patch Adams, that's a good one. I forgot about it. I never cry, but do tear up. The ones that get me are never the romantic things, it's always about death or selfless bravery. Especially when it involves kids. Ever since I had my daughter, I fall apart when seeing something sad about a kid. Hits far too close to home.

good move -it's so sad -why it's a kids film i don't know!

And *hugs* le the tears flow, love. It shows you care

Old Yeller (I think)

I'm a bit surprised no one has mentioned that quintessential tear-jerker, Steel Magnolias. Damn theater sounded like a waterfall. The wife-unit (a nurse) is boo-hooing next to me, and I'm looking for the exit.

Titanic
What Dreams May Come
The Green Mile

I was going to mention that one then I remembered...I hated that movie!

Green Mile for sure though

Rumple Foreskin

Nope. didn't cry for that one. Olympia Dukakis made me laugh too much

 

[minsue]

I cry at most of them. I never used to, but the older I get the easier I am moved. *blushes & shrugs* (and I don't even have Lauren's excuse of cortisone)

One of my best friends cried at Wayne's World, though, so I console myself that at least I'm not that bad.

 

[Selena_Kitt]

Independence Day... twice... once when the president's wife dies (oh my god break my heart!) and then again when he gives his speech about kicking some alien ass...

Titanic... yes I cried...
Schindler's List... didn't everybody? Even the big strong guys?
One True Thing... mom dies of cancer, wahhhh!
Legends of the Fall... when Pitt's character's wife is shot... oh my god...
Beaches... another death... *sigh*
Love Story... how could you NOT cry!?!?
When A Man Loves A Woman... this one I cried practically the whole way through...
Bridges of Madison County... oh my god... sobbed...
Fried Green Tomatoes... wahhhhh...!
My Girl... they killed Macauly Culkin!?!? Evil bastards!
Stepmom... ohhhhh those movies when kids are left motherless just KILL me...

 

[dirtyjoe69]

good call

great pic on step mom!

another one that got me was Mrs. Doubtfire maybe it was because I had just been seperated from my first wife and I could relate to Robin's desperation to see his kids!

 

[hotchkiss]

the last one that got me was "8 Below" luckily there was only 3 of us in the cinema. We all went home and hugged Scout after!

Before that there was loads from Lassie come home to Platoon to Ghost!

Too bloody soft for my own good

 

[AchtungNight]

- Old Yeller.

- The Mission.

- Return of the Jedi.

- The Fellowship of the Ring.

- The Passion of the Christ.

- Titanic.

- Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.

- The Long Kiss Goodnight.

- Gone With the Wind.

- The Shawshank Redemption.

- Memory of a Killer.

- Taxi Driver.

- X-Men 3: The Last Stand.

- The Upside of Anger.

(I've based stories on the last three.)

I tear up at:

Field of Dreams

Saving Private Ryan

Savannah Smiles

Brian's Song

 

[MagicaPractica]

As someone said, I more tear up than cry. I find Field of Dreams inspiring but it doesn't make me cry. Hard to remember but I tear up during Steel Magnolias when the mom (played by Sally Fields) freaks out at the cemetary and yes I remember tearing up during Ice Age too.

I watched Steel Magnolias and Always in the theater on the same day. Was that a mistake. I was young and foolish back then. I cry at practically anything.

Ahhh... Brian's Song... haven't thought about Brian Piccolo in a long time.
