I bawl like a little girl at the end of Field of Dreams, every time. "Dad?... wanna have a catch?" *cue waterworks*

Movies that i've either welled up or had tears run down my face:

Where the Red Fern Grows (nowadays anything with a dog dying makes me sad, lost my first dog over the summer, was only 3. RIP Shadow. Heh, eyes are wellin up just typin it out. I can't watch the animal channel when they have anything with dogs on.)
Powder
Harry and the Hendersons (Lol, I still remember crying during the movie, I was like 8-10 at the time. Harry getting lost made me sad. I was empathetic early on and have continued so my entire life).
Braveheart
Armageddon, Bruce and Liv played the roles awesome, gets me everytime.

I cried during that A&E flight 93 movie and the one that was on Discovery also. I was starting to tear up during Crash last night.

I'm sure when I was a kid my brothers would pick on me and make me cry during a movie, so yes. As for crying as a response to the film, no. Crying is for sissies and women, not men.

Yeah, I actually had tears running down my face at that point.

Just finish watching Jet Li's latest movie Fearless. The final scene got me all choked up.

I will not say which movie it was for fear of the ridicule that will immediately spew forth in my direction.

Fine. I'll go...

Titanic

Hey, no shame in that...that movie got me teary the first time. Only one movie has actually made me cry and Id be surprised if even the most "stonefaced" of people didnt at least get teary seeing it...

A Walk to Remember

Chick flicks, but if the gf wants to see it, you take her.

i have never cried cried, like sobbing and bawling. i have shed a tear or 2 for some movies because it related to something in my life or caused some sort of emotion. its weird because i show very little emotion at all.

I actually enjoy crying at movies and when I read - it makes me feel vulnerable. I think we go through so much of our lives with a belief that we're invulnerable and strong emotional responses help us restore our humanity - an expression of weakness and succeptibility.

Wow.

I've never cried to a movie, but I did cry years ago reading Where The Red Fern Grows. I also teared up during an episode of Rome. Won't say which episode, in case someone hasn't seen it yet.

I lost it at the end of Big Fish. Other than that, not that I remember.

I've never really had tears streaming down my face, but a few movies got me misty eyed.

Braveheart
Requiem for a Dream

To name a few.

The only movie to which I have actually cried (not just become teary and emotional or been depressed beforehand) is Mr. Holland's Opus.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Final scenes
Schindler's List - Girl in red dress
You Can Count On Me - Scene on the bench, most beautiful and cathartic scene in a movie I've ever seen. Actually not even the scene, just the two lines of dialogue. Amazing.

fast and furious...when the black charger bites the dust....I sobbed uncontrollebly for about an hour after that...and kept repeating "what a waste...damn it, damn it all to hell"

funniest thing I have ever seen was at the premier of the Gladiator....when he died at the end...I looked around to see more than half of the packed theatre crying...that ruined the end of that movie for me...I couldn't hear the rest

I shed a tear when watching king kong :confused: but that was about it and I believe that was the only movie I shed a tear for, I don't think I've ever cried watching a movie otherwise..
