Few spots in that movie, one of the few Robin Williams movies that I actually like.

That was such a sad movie that I couldn't even finish it... I think I'm still about halfway through.

I probably shouldn't admit to watching that movie, but I didn't think it was that sad (except maybe when Gerard Butler's character died). I donno, the movie itself wasn't really about being sad, but more about getting over being sad.

How about Short Circuit 2? When the two thugs smash him up, and he limps into the alley. Michael Mckean finds him, and all Johnny5 can do is write the word 'DYING' on the wall? Holy god that was horrible.

And you know, they fix him all up at the end, and everything's great... who the hell are you kidding. He still wakes up in the middle of the night screaming. He may be painted gold, but he's scarred for life.

And yes I cry. He's screaming as they beat him, its just awful.

It was just really touching at moments, and worst of all it reminded me of just how much I DIDN'T have, and how much I wanted to love someone and for someone to love me.

Man, the older I get the more weepy I get in movies. When I was a teenager, I'd laugh at the "touching" shit.. Now, when Wall-E gets put back together and doesn't remember eve.. I get all teary eyed. No open balling or wailing or anything like that, just enough to my eyes blurry enough that I need to wipe them.

...But I wipe them in a manly way.


I also cried at Bolt, but it was because the 3D Glasses were giving me a major headache.

I cried during Wall-E too. Absolutely amazing movie. Completely blows my mind just how good Pixar is. The level of originality and creativity is absolutely amazing.

Spock's death at the theater. Mamma Mia! when the fountain of Aphrodite erupts. Death of the main character in Gladiator. Watership Down. Charlotte's Web (original). To Sir, With Love. Goodbye Mr. Chips. The Color Purple. Le Vieux Fusil. Johnny Got His Gun. Many others that skip my mind right now.

Click! - I went in thinking it'd be a comedy then I got teary eyed when he realized he didn't get to say goodbye to his Dad and when he died at the end.
Field of Dreams - When he plays catch with his Dad.

Oh my God, when they had to sleep in that bathroom in the subway station, and Will played with his son like they were among dinosaurs and had to stay in the "cave". And then that fukking dick head was bashing on the door to get in and Will was holding his son close and covering his ears. Jesus, that part...oh man....I just welled up typing this. :(

I'm gonna go hold my son right now.

All of the above pretty much. I'm a sap. Like others have pointed out - things in real life don't do it, but complete strangers in a fantasy will rip you apart. I think its because you project the best and the worst onto them, so all of it hits that much harder. That's why we keep coming back for more, after all.

End of LOTR 3 - Aragorn leads the remnants of the army of men to the gates of Mordor, is vastly outnumbered and is hearing Sauron whisper his name.. He turns to his friends and says "For Frodo", then turns and selflessly leads the charge into the lines and almost certain death.

Also I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Braveheart or Last of the Mohicans.

Haven't cried but gotten watery eyed...Crowe's got two with A Beautiful Mind and Gladiator. WALL-E. Forrest Gump.

The worst though is AI. Ugh. The only purpose of that movie is to rip out your heart, light it on fire, put it out with dog piss, and then stuff it back in your chest.

I cried through all of Forrest Gump. Every time I'd stop crying, something terrible or nice would happen, and I'd start crying again---sometimes sad tears, sometimes happy.

Cried through ALL of Patch Adams. I saw it in the theatres and was a complete mess afterward---just covered in snot and tears. It wasn't even that good of a movie. >_<

Finding Nemo---when Dory begs Marlin not to leave, and then he leaves anyway, and it's just her floating by herself in the water. Really wrenching.

I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've cried for any reason since I was 16:

1. The suicide of my best friend when I was 17.
2. My emotional breakdown when stress just pushed me over the edge.
3. My brother's wedding, being so honored to officiate it
4. My wedding, seeing my wife for the first time in her dress (yes, I know, I suck)
5. The ending to Big Fish

No tears hit my cheek, but I was dang close during:
1. I Am Legend, when his dog dies
2. Last of the Mohicans, when Uncas is killed by Magua and Alice jumps off the cliff
3. The Spongebob Movie (yes, I know, I suck)
