Yes, I have.

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...

No, dude, no.
Is that what you think of me?

Nope. That's one that made me bawl.

all three times I saw it.

I know, let the ridicule come. I figured if I posted you could come forward.

I don't really cry... ever. I think I have a problem or something...

But I did tear up pretty bad during ET and Phenomenon....

I don't think I have.

Armagheddon was pretty damn sad though but I saw it at home so the effect wasn't as strong.

I've had some tears... trying to think of the movie(s) now that did it. Oh, the episode of Lost where Boone dies, that was pretty sad.

That's like saying: I wasn't sleeping! I was just resting my eyes!

I think there's a pretty big difference between quietly tearing up and bawling uncontrollably like a baby.

I mean, I've teared up from many of a movie, but this old friend of mine, a big tough biker-looking guy, would literally bawl like a little girl at the end of "A League of Their Own."

I teared up or cried during the Passion of the Christ, especially when they showed Jesus remembering his childhood when he falls down. One of the most emotional scenes ever in my opinion.

I have teared up reading Night by Elie Wiesel. I can't remember other movies or events, but I did cry after 9/11.

I'll feel a strong welling of emotion and shed a tear or three.

And yes there's a difference between crying and shedding a few tears.

Shedding a few droplets is certainly not the sobbing, lots of tearing, sniffling, voice shaken up that I think most of us mean by "crying".

Depending on my mood, just about anything can make me cry. I almost cried when I was chapperoning a bunch of 4th graders to see the play "Charlotte's Web". :eek:

Yeah, I cry way too easy. :eek:

Sad movies, happy movies, whatever. I gotta watch sad movies by myself.

I almost cried watching The Lion King (when the father died)
and did cry with the Notebook!

And any movie that causes that type of an emotion is a great movie!

Indeed. Many movies fit that category, one that I remember is "It's a beautiful life".
