Have you ever cried while watching a movie?

Funny that this thread just popped up. I tend to cry a lot, and a lot of the culprits have already been mentioned. Funnily enough however, I just watched a little short animation gem called La Maison en Petits Cubes (House of Small Cubes). It was released in 2008 and won the Academy Award for the 2008 Best Animated Short Film. It's only 12 minutes long and contains no dialogue but it made me cry badly. I wrote a little review of sorts of it here. Thought that I'd mention it here, and I hope some of you enjoy it :)
 
I don't cry for any movie and i don't believe even on "tear jerkers"
but damn,... this one got me good ....

I actually tear up really badly just listening to the soundtrack for Grave of the Fireflies, I'll never get over it. A masterpiece.
 
Grave of the Fireflies didn't make me cry. It was sad but okay.......

Only movie coming to my mind now is "Taare Zameen Par" (Like Stars on Earth). I highly recommend that movie.
 
Sure. Sometimes it's for sad stuff, but more often then not its for the uplifting "accomplish something against all odds" kinda flick.
 
all the time, I can't hold it.

Forrest Gump (when he finds out about you know who passing )

Radio ( when Cuba Gooding finds out the same thing)

Neverending Story

and many more.

I just try to sit way in the back or corner when watching with Fam and friends so they don't see me watering up.
 
More recently I actually teared up during Intersteller. Two times actually. First when he was saying goodbye to Murph and driving away. Second when he was watching the 23 years of tapes from his family.
 
The ending of Schindler's List almost got me, let alone the entire movie. I would've been balling if I was more of the crying type.
 
all the time whenever there's a sad scene done well, i.e. these deaths in Disney movies, Toy Story 2's Jessie tale etc
 
I know it's a movie a lot of people have a beef with and a lot of people think that the emotional shit is forced/ridiculous/melodramatic, but I cried during Crash. Only one too, and I've watched a decent amount of movies listed here (Grave of the Fireflies, Up, Toy Story 3 are three I think of that come to mind).
 
Not that I recall, but since it surprised me I was so close to crying, I remember Toy Story 3's ending.
 
The scene in the matrix when neo wakes up from the gun shots at the end makes me shed tears for joy every time. That bombastic music and everyone realizing he's the one......the feels.
 
I went to see A.I. in theaters with my Mom and sister on a girl's night out. We cried like big babies at the end, like really loud ugly crying, and probably weirded out this one family sitting a row in front of us because they gave us the stink eye when they got up. Fuck them, that movie was sad :'(
 
For some reason nearly every time a documentary starts to pay tribute to Charlie Chaplin I almost lose it.

I have as well come close to it with:
- First time I watched Dear Zachary
- The first time I watched The lives of Others
- When I watched Schindler's List with a class, and a lot of people were crying around me
- Almost any well done sad scene featuring a person with intellectual disability.
 
All the time. Some movies just get to me..
Examples.

1. As good as it gets. That moment when he forgets to lock the door, something about it just hits me. It kind of encompases his transformation in a singular and simple gesture.

2. ROTK. "You bow to no one" slayed me in the theater, and still gets me teary eyed.

3. Jerry Mcguier. Scene with Cuba at the end when he gets chocked up saying they did it to his wife on the phone.


There are many more, but atm just Downed a 32oz growler of 8% beer so a little buzzed lol.
 
Only once, for Grave of the Fireflies. Wept and wept. Nothing gets to me like the suffering of children, it's the one thing that makes me despair. No other film has ever inspired the depth of feeling or stayed with me like that one did. Frankly it inspired a lot of very nihilistic thinking about humanity, and if I had the choice I'd wish that I'd never watched it. It was, quite simply, too much for me.
 
In 2013 and 2014, I watched two nearly forgettable movies that would've been forgotten if they didn't make me sob like a baby at the end.

Don't watch Instructions Not Included or St. Vincent. Mediocre movies with a strong heart at the end that kills you.
 
The first 10 minutes of Up! always.
The ending of About Time got me. Not sure why, could have been jet lag. But it was really nice.

When I was a kid, I cried all the time at movies. Now, it's really hard to get to that point. Now that I've accepted that the world can suck sometimes, the cosmic unfairness of the universe when characters hit their low point doesn't inspire the same sadness it used to.

There are movies that have come close, but Field of Dreams absolutely got me.

I made this post over a year ago. In that time, I watched Princess Kaguya, which left me a blubbering mess during the credits.

It felt pretty good.
 
I practically choke up every time I watch Senna. From start to finish it's a rollercoaster ride.

Made a mistake of watching it in an aircraft, and didn't give a fuck when my eyes got all salty tears.

I cried multiple times when watching this one, easily the saddest animated film out there :(.

My now husband showed me this film, shortly after we first started dating. What the fuck, man. What. The. Fuck.

I don't know why he thought that was a good idea.

Also, the Lion King always makes me cry.
 
I watched the documentary Hell and Back again shortly after one of my older brothers died. There was a scene in the film that dealt with honoring all the fallen soldiers that didn't come back and I started crying pretty bad. My bro wasn't in the army, but just thinking about all these brothers, sons, fathers not coming back hit too close to home.
 
Central Station

Talk To Her

Bicycle Thieves
my entire film studies class actually started crying altogether at the end
