Anyone ever cried to a film (avoid spoilers)

I cried when I watched the "Battle of Los Angeles" (also tears of pain) but it was that bad . I'm not sure any other video has a lower rating then 1.9 on IMDB.

Some anime dramas will get a tear out of me.

I know it's just a crummy movie/U.S. Marines rah-rah fest, but a part of me took a guilty pleasure in watching that movie.

Edit: Whoops, I guess that's a different movie. I was thinking of Battle: Los Angeles

I don't think I've ever cried from just a movie, but a few have come close. Besides Toy Story 3, the ending to Friday Night Lights almost did it.

Too many to mention, but one standout was Schindler's List. I was drained emotionally after watching that movie

I cry, not your actual sobbing, but much sniffling and tearing at many films (also music will often bring tears). Offhand, I recalling that reaction the first time I saw Casablanca...but there have been many other films inducing tears.

On another thread I have been told that I am "weak" because I didn't fight a lot...so now add "wussy" to "weak".

An emotional slob...and proud of it!





Oh, yeah...I cried at Avatar, but for entirely different reasons!

The Color Purple .... At the very end when the kids came back to America from Africa and saw their mother(played by Whoopi Goldberg) for the first time since they left.

Ghost .... When she finally saw her husband as a ghost at the end.

Forest Gump .... My eyes got watery at certain parts.

There is probably a couple more but those are the ones I can think of at the moment.

There were a couple of times in 'Crash' (not the David Cronenburg one but the Paul Haggis one 2004, IMDB) that had me in tears, I don't want to go into details because it may spoil it for those that haven't seen it yet. But I thought it was a moving film, there is one bit in particular that is quite upsetting, I recommend it if you've not seen it check it out.

I would consider Her in that category.

I had a hard time watching through the last 15 minutes of Dancer in the Dark. Extremely intense and draining.

Hachi is a movie that I cried. Also at the end of Ghost.

Terminator 2, when he gets lowered into the smelting pot. That's just too much.


Actually, Forrest Gump and Cast Away get me every time.

...

Good Will Hunting and The King's Speech. I won't say the moments, but every time those moments come on (esp. in GWH), I cry my head off.

I rarely cry, in fact since last night I can't remember the last time I cried, people use to think I was weird for it. I am 25 year old male. However last night I wanted to see what all the fuss about the notebook was like, and so I decided to settle down with my girlfriend and watch it. By the end of it, I was balling, so much that I literally had to slap myself out of it, embarrassing! Amazing what films/television can make you feel.

Has anyone else had similar experiences?

The Notebook is the only movie I've ever been to in theaters wherein the majority of the audience was crying (me and my then-boyfriend included, who never cries at movies). You could hear a ton of sniffles and when everyone walked out, they had the red eyes or just extremely solemn and quiet.

But to answer your question, yes. I cry in a lot of the stupid rom-coms (haha). Most recent one is "About Time" - if you've ever lost anyone important to you, you'd know why (trying to be as vague as possible to avoid a spoiler).

Oh, god. That episode. I miss Rory.

The only one I can remember crying to was one of the short circuit movies when some thugs beat up Johnny5. The exorcism of Emily Rose gave me a panic attack about 5 mins in, never did or will finish that movie
