I got dragged to "You've got mail", yes I've cried.

Also, I have a firm believe that anyone who doesn't cry during The Green Mile is soulless.

I guess I am soulless, in my defence I almost cried. Sadly for me, crying isn't something that comes very easily, no attempt at manliness or repression, just plain can't do it.
 
I very nearly lost it at Hugh Jackman screaming and shouting in the car with Jake during Prisoners.

Powerful scene.
 
Grave of the Fireflies was incredible emotional. I was watching it in a theater. After the movie ended, nobody was talking, people were just quiet and a lot of them still cried while walking out.

Up
Philadelphia
Hachiko
 
Many times. Like during Iron Giant. I was the only adult in cinema and all the kids laughed at me. :(

Still worth it :)
 
I think I've legitimately only cried once.

Hachiko, man.... :'(

Oh wait, Grave of the fireflies, too. That was brutal.
 
Tale of Princess Kaguya.

The movie came out around the time our daughter was born stillborn. My wife and I went to see it about a month after the incident and needless to say the ending absolutely destroyed the both of us. Amazing movie, but I dont think I will ever watch again.

Dont think I've ever cried that much.

I watched GOTF for the first time a few months ago, that had impacted on me for weeks after. My gut churns a little now just thinking about it. Another movie I saw for the first time recently and shed more than a tear in was The Iron Giant (particularly the end). For cartoon movies to do this to me at my age is incredible. Some of my friends cried during The 80's Transformers movie......... I never did (then again I was not into TF like my friends were).

I was more upset with the mouse killing sequence and the failed electrocution execution in the movie. Good movie though!!

I seem to have a track record of crying watching certain emotional movies when I have a headache - Green Mile is one, Titanic another (watched it a handful of times since and never had the same reaction), The Notebook is another one.

A random one was having tears run down my face when
Doc Brown gets shot again in the return to 1985
in Back to the Future. The amusing thing about this is that IT was not the first time I had seen the movie (was the first time in almost 15 years though). I subconsciously forgot
that he survived and knew he was in BTTF 2 and 3.
.
 
I cry at every decent sad movie its not even funny. Lost count at how many times i had to fight tears when watching a movie with my girlfriend. She thinks im all cool and shit.
 
Toy Story 3 is the only one that's ever got me going in the cinema.

Any film which involves a dog dying though, I've never even had a dog but it still gets me bad, I Am Legend in particular.
 
Some movies got me really emotional, made my heart skip a beat, and some even affected me for a whole week afterwards.
I never cried/teared up for a movie though.

My eyes get watery whenever eye torture/eye manipulation is on screen, but i guess it doesn't qualify.

EDIT: I should add that i don't remember about when i was really little, i probably cried at Dumbo or Bambi, but i don't remember.
 
Naw, never for a movie. I only cried once while watching something and that was episode 16 of Clannad: After Story.

It was only a single tear, though.
I wept into my pillow that night.
 
I think a TV-Series counts as well? Then it would be the red wedding in GoT.

I did not ''cry'' I just had some tears rolling down my face.....as a wise person on Twitter once said: Crying would be much more fun it the tears said weeeeeeee when they roll down your face :D

The end of dancer in the dark where Bjork's
friend hands her the son's glasses and says "he doesnt need them anymore" while shes strung up to get hung.
 
The only films i remember crying was Grave of the Fireflies and Transformers The Movie. On a movie theater i dont remember crying until a few months ago with Interstellar. That 23 years scene was simply too much to handle.

Honestly, I cry everytime when Tiny Tim says "may god all bless us" in the Muppets Christmas Carol..

Who wouldn't, it's a crippled little frog saying that..

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. In earnest. Oh my god, so many moments. And my atypical one; Schindler's List. You have a heart of stone if you're not sobbing when he collapses in the snow.

Just reading this made me tear up.

T_____T
 
Forrest Gump tears me up every time.

I also remember watching Watership Down as a kid and being devastated when the bunny dies and 'Bright Eyes' plays.
 
The first instance I can recall of crying at a film was when The Penguin died in Batman Returns. It was so sad with all his little penguins forming a funeral procession as they dragged him into the water. Also, I was about four years old.

The most recent incident was Les Misérables. I'd neither read nor seen the story before, so I was hit full-on with all the feels.
 
I don't think I ever have.

Reading through this thread makes me wonder if I'm enjoying movies the right way or not, seeing people mention that they cried watching movies that I've seen.

That scene LEGIT SHOOK me. Had to hideaway my tears. Sadly, the movie didn't quite reach the same highs as that scene in the later half.
 
I can't read this thread. I cry every time I watch this Guinness ad. I easily cry in films or even when reading books.

I saw the .gif of the Return of the King and my eyes were full of tears instantly. Saw the picture of Michael Clark Duncan in the movie theatre in The Green Mile and my throat felt so small suddenly. Read the guy talking about the Tale of Princess Kaguya and it is becoming harder and harder not to cry.

I cried reading Harry Potter when
Hedwig, the owl, dies, and please don't remind me of Fred.
. I had to call a friend because I just couldn't handle it by myself. After 7 books it was so so so so so so sooooooo unfair. :(

Edit: and oh my god, I cried like a baby watching Prayers for Bobby.

I only watched that film once. I'm never watching it again, just because of that. Makes me real sad.
 
Transformers: The Animated Movie, when Prime dies (I was 7!).
Schindler's List
Flight 93
Pearl Harbor (for some reason watching the slow mo of the Zero's flying over the kids with the music and with what's about to happen....I dunno).
 
A strange thing has been happening in that I never used to cry at movies, EVER, and it could be the saddest thing ever and it wouldn't effect me.

But then I saw Up, and the beginning of that movie utterly crushed me, mostly because who the hell was expecting them to pull that shit right at the beginning of the movie like that?

And it wasn't just one, it was two, the first when they discovered they couldn't have kids, and then of course the ending of the sequence...fucking devastating even upon rewatch.

And now it's as though the floodgates opened up or something, because now it hardly takes anything. I cried during Big Hero 6! I cried during the credits to Super Mario fucking Galaxy 2!

If Up didn't make you cry, then you have no soul.
 
Teared up during Rudy, when he's talking to his dad before he leaves on the bus to Notre Dame and then when he opens his acceptance letter to Notre Dame.

Also, the Notebook ending is very sad.

Land Before Time, when Long Neck's mother dies at the beginning....super freaking sad, still to this day.

Never cried as much in my life in a movie theater than during this scene.

I was sobbing ... It fucking wrecked me.
