Erm… insert 
as needed in the above post
I feel inspired to start a thread in Cafe Society titled “What films made you cry?”!
Before that happens I will add: “Dead Poets Society” and “Steel Magnolias” ::sniff::

I know a lot of women (and girls) who have the same response. Trust me on this.
To add to Lilairen’s post- isn’t anger considered a mask for sadness?
Either way, if you’ve got tears rolling down your tears, you’re crying. I mean, you could be angry too, but that doesn’t mean the boy isn’t crying. And as Lilairen said, women and girls have this response as well. I can remember feeling pissed off and frustrated at the world and crying as an example.

Here’s a great thread from a while ago Guys, did that bring a tear to your eye?.
Dude, Where’s My Car?
Cmon. The Dirty Dozen.
Miller:
Somebody said they cried at Schindler’s List. I suppose Liam Neeson’s terrible acting during the “I could have saved one more” scene might have been worth crying about. The fact that he was so totally unconvincing in that scene ruined the movie for me. It just didn’t have a payoff.
I always hear people saying they cried at the end of Brian’s Song. I was starting to think that tears at the end of that movie was just a cliche, they did a whole episode of “Just Shoot Me” with that premise.
Like I said, if you wanna cry alone at a movie (not in the theater), then knock yourself out.
I’ve cried. Loudly. In public. (Quietly, in private, too.) And with damn good reason.
Fuck you if it makes you uncomfortable. My emotions or the expression thereof don’t need, nor are they asking for, your approval. And if I need another human being to comfort me while I’m crying, I’m glad to know ahea of time I can’t depend on you being there for me.

It could also be allergies.
Or an injury. A science teacher I had in high school told us about the time he forgot to wash his hands after handling habaneros and then went to change his contact lenses.
:eek:
Damn straight.
I mean, c’mon-look at the names in the thread-some of the manliest of the manly men on the SDMB!!!
Besides, we chicks have soft spots for guys in pain.
What Esprix said. I hope that someday, I can go to the movies with RexDart. I would make it a point to weep openly, even if it was a David Arquette movie. I mean heaving, wracking sobs. And then he could say something rude, and I could show him exactly how much of a pussy I am.
No I am not trolling. Well it looks like I got my ass kicked. At least it wasn’t a tie so that no one got their feelings hurt. Why am I the only one who thinks schools have changed? When I went to school they would swat you with the paddle in front of the whole class. If you cried the bullies would pick on you. I mean like slam you into the lockers.
They talk about feelings alot more than they used to, it’s like the Opra show. I really think they are teaching boys to act more like girls. Won’t anyone come to my defence? Do I have to cry for people to understand me?

Lilo and Stitch.
This is my family. I found it, all on my own. It’s little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good.
I’m lost!
Dammit, knock that off! I did NOT cry during Lilo and Stitch! There was some shit it my eye … I mean …
I’m a BOXING fan … I BARBEQUE fercrisake!
Neofishboy -
I have a talking Stitch doll.
When you ask it “Where are you” it answers “I’m Lost” in exactly the tone he says it in the movie.
And it nearly brings me to tears again, every time.
(Yeah, I’m a chick. Guess what. I don’t cry at movies - I let Dad do it. Except The Day After or whatever the fuck that made-for-TV nuclear holocaust movie was. And I didn’t cry the first time I saw that because I was in school, in a class with all guys, and didn’t need the teasing. So bite me.)
