Have you ever cried while watching a movie?

Ever since I watched the Lion King when I was 12 I've cried on every even remotely sad film I've ever watched. Not that I blame the Lion King for being sad - it's more like what taught me how to immerse myself in films and forget about the world around me. I am in the film and if it's sad - I cry.
 
I have tons of movies i cry during. Its so bad, there are even things that trigger my tears like if they say the title in the movie and its super cheesy ( i find myself very weird on that one)

But yea, if there is a sad or lovey scene in a movie I will cry to it.
 
At the cinema, possibly never (only because I generally don't see that type of movie at the cinema), but just the other day, I couldn't help myself with the finale of St. Vincest.

Also (at home), Cinema Paradiso: Director's Cut (long version) and quite possibly, The Elephant Man. As was mentioned by Cyan, BBC's seminal Pride & Prejudice (with Colin Firth) loosened the water works too :).
 
After watching Grave of The Fireflies pop up a lot in a couple of different threads, I decided to give it a go. Movie just ended, and I'm just sitting here sobbing and crying my eyes out. Thanks guys...
 
I've gotten choked up a few times but Grave of the Fireflies utterly destroyed me by the end. Crying was the easy part though, the feelings of emptiness and "we as a species are garbage" lingered far longer. Greatest film I will never ever watch again. You think you're ready but you're never ready for it.
 
If there's a moving OST I'll cry to nearly everything, specially if the themes are death, fathers/daughters & sons relationships or deep friendship.

My partial (really small) list:

- Up (not just the prologue, but when
he finds out about the diary and every will of his wife was fulfilled by him
)
- Lion King when
simba raises his cub to Elton John's Circle of Life
- The Bucket List when
he crosses "kiss the most beautiful woman" from the list after meeting his granddaughter
- Cloak and Dagger when
kid finds out about his father being the real hero
- Forrest Gump because of the perfect Alan Silvestre score and father/son relationship
- Interstellar (again, father/daughter thing)
- Unknown title: saw it a long time ago, story about a kid who suffers from AIDS and was afraid of dying while sleeping, so his friend lends his shows to remind him that as long as he's holding his shoes, everything is gonna be okay... Owwwww...
- Brave Heart.. Freeedommmm


BONUS
- if To The Moon was a movie, I'd cry from start to finish.
 
Yes every now and then, last time was probably during A moment to remember, I'm sitting there thinking that it tries so hard to play to my emotions but I still can't help it =(
Korean movies seems to be pretty good at this, I guess it goes for a lot of asian movies really..
 
Yep.

Titanic
Wall-E
The Iron Giant
Babe
The Notebook

A shitload more.

And the worst, Peter Jacksons King Kong. Cant watch the last 30 min of the movie, always turn it off when they attack Kong in the city. I just cant do it.
 
Ride of the Rohirrim in RoTK gets me every time I see it.

Also about three times during Lincoln. But that movie just hit me in the feels.
 
Friggin' Pixar. Finding Nemo was the first movie to ever make me tear up in a theater. (
but I was on a date and it got me laid
) Wall-E and Up also got me.
 
Them dog movies. Always killing the dog to get tears. I'm sure I've teared up for some films, can't recall any right now off the top of my head. I think The Fox and The Hound is the only movie I refuse to watch again because of how sad it is. Fuck that movie, Disney you sick twisted bastards.
 
The ending of Toy Story 3. I wanted to race over to my grandmother's house and go through the attic and find my box of old toys.


The ending of Before Sunset. Tears of joy and happiness though!
 
Man I really need to watch Grave of the Fireflies but every one says that it destroys you...

anyway for me it's probably Toy Story 3 & A bittersweet life
 
I cried during Heavenly Forest a Japanese movie. Then a few others in a marathon. Had no clue Japanese movies that are not animated/Kamen Rider were so sad at the time.This was like 10 years ago.

Other than that I tear up when a really cool action scene or something I was waiting to see happens. Like not cry but they water up a bit, is that weird? Stuff like Starscream's first appearance in Transformers did it, cause hes my favorite since I was a kid.
 
I think I remember crying when Macully Culkin got stung to death by bees in My Girl. But I was like 5 years old. Then I was on a 25 year dry spell until I watched 12 Years a Slave.

I easily cry watching movies, TV series, anime and even playing video games. I am stupid enough to cry when re-watching stuff.

it's not stupid, it's very common I believe. I do it as well, it's just the way how these scenes are constructed for maximum weepage
 
I don't, generally.

However, Grave of the Fireflies and The Iron Giant got to me. I don't have the heart to rewatch Fireflies but every time I get near the end of The Iron Giant (You stay, me go, no following) I almost break down. I just hits me the right way.
 
The last two movies I cried during were the documentaries The Case against 8 and Bully.

And now thinking about those movies, it reminded of some depressing news I learned today. I went to my niece's middle school basketball game and asked her about one of her friends formerly on the team. She said that the girl stopped playing sports this year because she came out of the closet about being a lesbian, and many of her classmates teased her and refused to be friends with her.

Living in the northeast in a generally liberal town, I thought intolerant kids would be in the minority by now, but I guess not :(

My Dog Skip did it for me
 
Yes, and I'm not afraid to admit it.

I don't know if I've ever fully cried, though; however, my eyes definitely have teared up during some movies and TV shows.

One example is Big Fish. Another is The Green Mile.

I may have teared up during the amazing end of Six Feet Under, too.
 
Yeah, and it's getting worse the older I get. The worst I've ever cried was at the end of The Wind Rises.

I didn't used to cry at movies. I don't know why they affect me so much now...
 
UP caught me off guard.

Usually I can avoid crying, because I expect the sadness. But UP blind-sided me, and I teared up just a little bit.
 
The ending of Watchmen.

Bladerunner, when
Roy Batty Dies.

The ending of Toy Story 3.

Barefoot Gen.

I cried at the end of the comic book too. Poor Rorschach. :( Too awesome for this terrible world of lies and murder.

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 dont know. Imperfect Lock followed by Docking , Black Hole , Tesseract . I think there's still a lot of highs in the film after it. And i like how that scene comes in the middle of it and there's still so much to digest.
