You had me at hello

[sweetnpetite]

I am such a sap.

I am watching (barely even paying attention) to Jerry McGuier on TV and when she said, "you had me at hello" my eyes involentarily watered.

Incorragable romantic - not sap! I love it!

last night I was watching a particularly sad episode of InuYasha, where Kagome basically professed her love for him and promised to stay with him, even though he had chosen to be with someone else. I'm a sap too. Pokemon the First Movie makes me cry at the end every time. Nothing I can do about it.

I'm really susceptible to other people crying. I get teary eyed every time I see or hear crying people. I took my little sisters to see Pokemon the First Movie when it came out in theaters, and there's a moment where all the Pokemon start crying at the end, so of course all the kids in the theather start sniffing, and then crying, and then my sisters started sniffing and crying, and I was toasted wheat at that point. I put up a valliant fight though.

I cry when I see big men cry. Especially in the end of Dogma when Silent Bob cries! Now that really breaks my heart!

Also, the opening sequence of Guiding Light makes me cry when they say,

"there is a destiny that makes us brothers
no one goes his way alone
all that we bring into the lives of others
comes back into our own."

You know what gets me? Animal documentaries - every damn time. S'got to the point where the fiance changes channel if it even looks like a baby animal is going to die because he knows how much it upsets me.

I don't mind too much if they get eaten by another animal - that's just sruvival. It's when the babies wander away from their parents and get stranded or something...

Luckily the fiance loves me so much that he finds it endearing when I cry at anything even remotely emotional on TV. Thank god for that, cos I've had boyfs in the past who just got cross and told me I cried too much.

I won't let my boyfriend look at me when I cry!

 

[Vermilion]

I won't let my boyfriend look at me when I cry!

Mine'd hardly ever see me if I followed that rule!

Seriously though, I don't let many people see me crying, because I find it intensely humiliating, but I love and trust him enough to just be myself.

Cry on my shoulder & you won't cry alone.

I cry a lot at movies, but not in the places you would think. I cry when the hero relizes his full potential. when he/she breaks out of his/her shell and saves the day.

 

[Guest]

there are times when i need to watch what i designate as "the crying movies"
these include but are not limited to:
beaches
terms of endearment
steel magnolias

mom and i used to watch these when there was too much going on and we needed to blow off some emotional steam. but...she would cry so hard sometimes that i couldnt cry. it was like she sucked the emotion out of the room all by herself. LOL.

so now, when i watch i crying movie, i cry silently so i don't take up all the emotion in the room.

its good to share.

There's a few movies like that that if I start to watch I can't pull myself away no matter how many times I've seen them. Those silly Meg Ryan romantic comedies, "While you were sleeping," and more. Every year I also watch the sequence in "It's a Wonderful Life" beginning with Jimmy Stewart saving Clarence until the end - for auld lang syne (and because I'm a sap. )

 

[Misty_Morning]

I love tear jerkers, and have no inhibitions about crying during them.

One that comes to mind is What Dreams May Come. The entire movie has me crying from nearly the beginning straight to the end. The movie has just so many scenes that rip my heart right out my chest. Like the one where the main charactacter realizes that one of his guides is actually his daughter, or the scene where he running to get to the tree that his wife had painted only to watch is disintergrate just before he could get to it. Just sitting here typing this I am starting to tear up.

I guess the entire concept of love having no earthly bounds is something we all desire. The idea of someone willing to go give up heaven and endure hell just to be with the person they love is one of the most romantic themes of all time.

If you haven't seen this movie I suggest you buy it and watch it with the person you love. Just remember to have a box of tissues handy.

 

[Darklove666]

Ah, nostalgia gets me every time. Like when Hot Rod becomes Rodimus Prime in the Transformers Movie. Or when I took my little girl to see Superman Returns and the music and opening credits were the same as the Chris Reeves movies. those are the things that bringa tear to my eye.

OMG - While you Were Sleeping is my guilty secret.,

I watch it every time I'm sick, when I'm down, when I'm bored or when I feel all Christmassy and sometimes just because I like it.

Hmpf. Fiance just suggested I marry the film and have it's babies. I think he's had too much wine.

Seriously though - I know all the lines. It's *bad* how much I love that film.

I'll painfully pun a maple tree as a member of the sap community.

I definitely cry at movies and for all sorts of reasons. Usually a tragic death of a hero or a heroine (Boys don't Cry, Cowboy Bebop, Pyrokinesis), but I'm also a sucker for just out and out sadness (Pan's Labyrinth).

There are also a couple of songs that are crying songs for me (the opening for Elfen Lied, the music that is played for Sniper Wolf's death in the original version of Metal Gear Solid, and the music for Lisa's death in the game Silent Hill)

Which of course brings up crying at video games which I do a lot because I tend to play the sad immersive titles.

I think as a man I'm supposed to feel bad about that, but, meh, I challenge anybody to watch through Full Metal Alchemist or Grave of the Fireflies without tearing up.

Does this work with more...hmmmmm...Lit-relevant physical reactions?

I think I cried the first time I watched Field of Dreams after my Dad's triple bypass. I'm lucky enough to have had a dozen more years with him since then and have closed the gap between us. We are closer than we ever were before that...(the surgery, not the movie)

If you do THAT on my shoulder, I'll probably just send you for a towel.

I'm known to leak a little...not sobs, but that teardrop out of the corner of my eye thing...especially at dream come true things.

I also will freely admit to being unable to watch a sailor get off a ship to "meet" his three month old child without tearing up.

ahem....

if that happens on your shoulder it's because you've made me come so hard that the spasms in my thighs are messing up my aim...

I just got a dirty look off the Fiance for making such a loud and sudden noise.

Yeah, my youngest just came running in to find out what was so funny.

So you can't it explain it to them and the Fiance is too busy running something that looks like the code off the Matrix to want to know *why* I am disturbing him

I make him sound such an ogre, don't I? Poor chap

I'm so glad that my orgasms don't require "aim."

mine don't require it...but it is sometimes advisable...

damn...I think I need to give the cat a bath now...

Not unless they're done *just* right
