I more than make up for it. Any maudlin sentimentality will draw a (manly) tear from me. Don’t ask about Old Yeller or Brian’s Song. Or Wrath of Khan, for that matter.
That’s what I came to say. I can’t even think about it after all these years without crying.
Ah, yes, Grave of the Fireflies. If you’re not in tears after watching that film, you’re too cold-blooded to be running around loose.
“We…are …Groot”.
I saw UP the day after my Mom died from her long battle with dementia. All my time had been spent caring for her over her last few months, and when she was finally gone I didn’t know what to do with myself. So I went to the movies. Sobbed through the whole thing.
Some time after the first Guardians movie came out (I still haven’t seen any of them), we were in the vet’s waiting room and this fellow had a HUGE Great Dane sitting between his legs. It started to growl slightly as the room filled up with people and pets and the gent very quietly said to the dog Quiet, Groot. I said to the room in general Hey, he’s a Groot Dane. Dead silence. The end.
At the beginning of 2013, my wife was in New Zealand and I was living in the UK, attempting to sell our house. That January saw the release of the Les Miserables film. Being a big fan of the show, I headed to our local cinema on my own to see it.
I must have cried almost all of the second half of the movie. When the lights came up, the lady next to me asked if I was OK. I still cannot watch the movie without a handful of tissues nearby.
It doesn’t need to be a movie, either. Some years before, we were driving to Birmingham to meet up with friends. As we drove, there was a radio play of The Snow Goose. We arrived in Birmingham and parked up for a picnic just as the story drew to a close. The rest of the family wasn’t invested in the story, but I was utterly hooked. I ended up nearly sobbing in the car as the final scenes played out.
It’s not a movie, but I’ve read The Snow Goose a few times. I keep the Kleenex handy when I do.
Thanks to Jeremy Irons’s stellar performance, Dead Ringers (1988) has enough emotional moments to make me blubber like a schoolgirl who just lost her diary.
Then there’s The Elephant Man (1980), overflowing with tear-inducing scenes—including, of course, the iconic “I am a human being” moment.
But I maintain that any tears were solely due to the onions I was inexplicably peeling in the theater.
I don’t cry at movies either, but the Best Picture-winning CODA somehow got my allergies acting up.
mmm
I’m aware of the real story this movie is based on. The one I watched was the American version starring Richard Gere. Is there a Japanese version of the movie?
I loves me a good tear-jerker.
Uncle Fester 
Should have drawn the whole Addams family there.
No you don’t. I raise you Where the Red Fern Grows.
Don’t forget The Yearling.
Idk, I cried for a day after watching Turner and Hooch. And Joe Vs. the Volcano.
I’m weird…
Yes. I mentioned it in the same post – Antartica.
I’m pretty mushy, so any number of films can make me tear up. I don’t think anyone mentioned Titanic yet(perhaps it’s too cliche?). I didn’t really buy / care about Jack and Rose’s romance but damn, the staircase scene at the end and the theme song playing . . .it’s blub city for me.
Brokeback Mountain is the only film I can remember unabashedly crying for in public.
The Full Monty makes me cry triumphant tears, if that counts.
I cried in public (in the movie theater) when I saw Field of Dreams the first time. I remember saying “Oh, it’s his father” just before the line about having a catch. I had a little catch in my voice, and then the tears started.
And now for the strangest one in this thread:
Home Alone. I couldn’t believe this comedy movie brought out the waterworks.
The scene where Kevin looks outside and sees the creepy old man hugging his estranged son.
