Have you ever cried during a movie, if so, what?

My Eyes get a few tears during movies. I wouldn't say it's full on crying though. I teared up during Up twice. At the start and when He found the book of memories.

What happens to the dog in I am legend gets my eyes a bit wet

I cried during Big Fish in the theater, the scene where he's carrying his dad to the water. That movie came out not too long after my own father had died, and it really got me. Another good one is the end of Philadelphia when they are showing the home movies of Tom Hanks as a kid, with Neil Young in the background. Powerful stuff, if that doesn't make you cry you're a robot, or have a cold, black emptiness where your heart should be.

Those are only two examples, I've cried during many movies. :)

No. I can separate fiction from reality.

It's not a matter of being able to separate fiction from reality. A lot of people have been blessed with that gift... If you can't empathize or sympathize with anything then what's the point of watching movies? I find it hard to believe when people say then never cry, or at the very least don't get misty eyes. Usually sounds like some machismo bull to me.

I agree. I'd also say you aren't actually experiencing art if you aren't experiencing emotion.

I cry during a LOT of movies, it is kind of a problem. The one I cried the most recently, and I feel the most deservedly, was during The Descendants. That movie just tears at your heartstrings.

Cried at the end of Norbit wasted 2 hours of my life watching that piece of shit.

I slit my wrists at the end of Norbit.

WAIT IT WAS THAT GOOD? Wonder what you did when you watched Pluto Nash?

I teared up with the waiting room scene in Revolutionary Road, Leo gets me every time.

The only time I shed a tear while watching a movie was at the end of 50/50. That really got to me.

The Day After Tomorrow, My father had recently passed away and the part where the day and son reunite got me. I even left the theater so I didn't bother anyone.

When my mother found me after Pluto Nash I was gouging my eyes out with the eraser end of a pencil. My vision was partially restored, that is until my friends took me to see Meet Dave as a joke...

Reading through the posts, I think I'm the only one but for me it would be the end of Forrest Gump. Such a great performance by Hanks.

On the other hand though, I never teared up at the beginning of Up so I am in firm belief that I am a monster.

I remember the end of Green Mile bummed me out

End of the Shawshank Redemption.

Toy Story 3 had me fighting back tears for the first time in my adult life. My girlfriend lost her shit though and it helped reaffirm my manhood a bit.

Also it's not a movie but how the show Six Feet Under ends really got to me and I may have cried a bit but it was a while ago and I am sure I have lied to myself to cover the truth from myself..

"The Road" anyone? Might be becuase I also read the novel but the end of that movie and book tore me up so bad. I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this movie.

Terminator 2. No boy ever wants his pet robot-killing machine to die.

Click comes to mind pretty quickly as does Marley & Me.

The end of Return of the King was another, but I haven't seen it in ages.

Old Yeller, The Notebook (don't judge me), 50/50, Even got teary eyed at the end of Gattaca (go figure).

I cried when one of the Team meat guys, i forget his name, shows his girlfriend the sales of meatboy in Indie game: the movie, just a tear or two though. :)

Almost lost it at the beginning of Up. When I was little I cried during The Fox and The Hound.

There was a time when I never cried at any film but once I reached adulthood I started tearing up at everything like I had finally reached emotional maturity and learned some fucking empathy. I prefer it that way.

Oh Dobby, you died a free elf! :(

End of MIB3
 
Sue me

Schindler's list.... Man that scene towards the end.

Same. Started watching movies alone and started realising that getting emotionally invested is kind of the point.

The end of Brokeback Mountain. Jesus fucking Christ. More than anything else, the fate of Jack Twist hastened my decision to come out of the closet and live my life before something horrible happened to me.

Well, not exactly the end but the moment shortly before that (when he is in the hospital).

As a child, I actually cried at the movie Radio mostly because of all the shit Cuba Gooding Jr. goes through and as a child I didn't really comprehend mental illness. I don't know, it was a multitude of things that I cant figure out now because when I watched it a couple months ago and it was just so goofy, it's pretty funny that I cried so easily at that movie.

As an adult however, many movies get me choked up but the only film that caused me to shed a tear was Life is Beautiful, such a great film. No wonder Roberto Benigni became a bit of an icon after such a great film, sadly the pinocchio movie that he made immediately after kind of pissed that all away though.

Oddly enough, the Walking Dead got me to full on sob at it's ending. Despite the countless films I've seen with masterful endings(Seven Samurai, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Shawshank Redemption) that little bit of interactivity in the Walking Dead is what got me to actually experience the most amount of emotion towards any fictional ending.

Cast Away has the single most hearbreaking scene I've ever seen in a movie.

Most Disney films get me and, of course, Pokemon the Movie 2000. ='[

Artificial Intelligence

Ending of Schindler's List was pretty sad. Was not crying or anything but was fairly moved.

I have during several movies: The Last of The Mohicans, The Notebook, Rudy, and Dumb & Dumber.

I've cried over more films than I care to remember, but the ones that stand out the most (i.e, made me totally lose my shit and sob) are Philadelphia, Milk, and Up. Up was fucking soul destroying. Fuck that movie.

Magnolia, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, The Tree Of Life.... The list goes on and on. But more than any other movie, Synecdoche, New York fucked me up really badly, in a way I didn't know a film could do.

Oh, God. That last scene in Magnolia gets me every time.

The_Dirty_Nurse_Gets_Punished_By_The_Her_Sexy_Female_Patient.avi

I cry every time ... but that's how I like it.

The end of Gladiator, I think it's Now We Are Free that does it. That fucking song.

Tons of movies, I mean I'm human and got emotions. I don't see why that would be a bad thing.

Anyone who doesn't would either have to be a psychopath stripped of all empathy, not seen many movies or 14 years old and too "badass" to admit it.

Beverly Hills Ninja

Grave of the Fireflies. That moment just before the boy cremates his little sister. That moment when he closes the basket and looks one more time at his sister's corpse. That got me.

Came very close during Toy Story 3, but my little brother was sitting next to me stone faced so I decided to force myself to hold it together. Honestly the shedding tears thing is new to me, I used to be proud of the fact that I hadn't cried in years (and even then, it was because I held my grandfathers hand as he died.) These days though, I don't fight it, and there have been a few games lately that have really got to me. Came close in during the movie Flight, too, but when I'm at the theater, I'm usually with friends (who don't cry), so like I said, I hold it together to keep up this silly false image. I need better friends.

The Green Mile gets me every time.

It was close watching the Perks of Being a Wallflower. Talk about an emotional roller-coaster.

As a kid, The Lion King.

As a teenager and then an adult, hmm... I'm pretentiousness-o-phobic so I tend to see right through the bullshit of movies such as the one with the binocular-shaped-eyes robot. I do remember tearing up during Toy Story 3, and I can't seem to remember any other movies.

Oh, The Ring (1996). German movie.

The Pokémon movie

I generally hate cheesy sad-stories so I just become bored and I don't think I ever watched more than 1 or 2 "sad" movies, "chick flicks"... etc, if i watching with someone else i start playing on my phone.

I only remember crying, maybe not spiting tears out of my eyeballs but clearly getting kinda teary eyed at only 2 scenes:

Michael death in godfather

The speech + battlecry at Pelennor fields

i don't cry, ever.

well, i mean there was this one time when...

I cried at Les Miserables last week, several times. Especially Bring Him Home.

Most recently, Brave did this to me. And How To Train Your Dragon both. Pixar and DreamWorks are both good for that.
