I recently got teary-eyed watching an episode of The Vicar of Dibley.
I cry all kinds of tears at movies. Of course, I am mentally ill, so that may affect it. Most recently I sobbed through half of Mamma Mia! even though I liked it. It was just where my emotions were that day, so many things triggered the tears.
I cried watching a home movie shown at a funeral today for someone I’ve only met twice ten years ago. (I was married to his son-in-law’s brother once). It was set to “Those Were The Days”. Yeah - howling big time.
I cry at weddings that I see on TV. Even if it’s not a show I follow and I have no idea who the characters are.
I have to admit to getting a bit teary-eyed every time Steve McQueen makes that jump over the fence into Switzerland. I know that he’s not going to make it, and indeed, is almost three decades dead, but still, he’s so very, very close to freedom.
But then I whistle Elmer Bernstein’s theme, and I’m happy again.

I was goddamn hysterical. At THAT moment… god…talk about emotional porn!! Holy shit…
Has anyone seen To Walk With Lions? I haven’t finished watching it yet because I got to the elephant poaching scene and was so racked with sobs and so completely overwhelmed that I had to stop the movie and I haven’t had the courage to go back to it since.

Crying at THAT part of I am legend is a very normal reaction, i don’t think any pet owner could get through that without getting misty eyed.

Uhoh. I guess I’m not renting THAT movie.
I cannot watch ANY portion of Animals Cops (Don’t think its the title but its close enough) on Animal Planet without falling apart. Just can’t stand it. Won’t be in the room when it comes on and yell at people who put it on.
I am a basket case in real life, but I don’t usually cry at movies. Last Tango in Paris made me cry. That was a long time ago. It has to be something really personal and memorable. I think the most emotionally powerful movie that I have seen was Schindler’s List. Just blew me away.
Tommy wasn’t in that one.
But I did cry when the character played by Cheech Marin gave up his place in the coyote’s truck to a woman whose husband was going north. Right when he said “Vaya con Dios.”
I saw Click as well, expecting a normal, run-of-the-mil, stupid Adam Sandler comedy.
Boy, was I wrong.
I don’t understand why they marketed it as such while it is basically a sci-fi drama.
It was absolutely one of the saddest movies I had seen in years.
I cry every time I see myself naked.
Add me to the locked ward, because I bawled through about half of MammaMia!
I cry very easily at movies. I used to cry easily while reading books, but now it takes quite a bit for me to do so. I think it’s the music in films as well as the fact that basically we’re watching people–true, they are actors playing parts, but the human face and voice show expression in limited ways. I also tend to identify too strongly with main characters (when I do so that is). I didn’t cry at Wall E, which surprised me.
I cry at the end of Armageddon (the Bruce Willis asteroid smashing into earth crapfest) every single time i happen to catch it. At the end, when Bruce Willis is talking to Liv Tyler, and telling her goodbye and it’s all very cheesy in a Jerry Bruckheimer kind of way, I bawl like an infant.
I’m a 27 year old male, btw. This is the kind of shit that keeps my demographic up at night wondering if Dad was right about them…
Crying men in their 20s unite, you have nothing to lose but your manhood. 
I think men uniting was what Dad was so worried about…
My wife will bawl her eyes out at just about anything. I’m don’t cry a lot at movies, but there are a few that always get the tears flowing.
Perhaps the worst, for me, is a little drama/comedy called My Girl, starring Anna Chlumsky, McCauley Culkin, Dan Aykroyd, and Jamie Lee Curtis. I challenge anyone to watch that film without blubbering.
Once Were Warriors gets me teary, and i find the Middle Passage scene in Amistad pretty gruelling. I know there are others, but none come to mind right now.
I’m pretty sure you just won the thread.
