I just got finished watching Million Dollar Baby. FANTASTIC film Cried my eyes out. No, sobbed. I cry pretty easily at movies, but this one gave me those deep-in-your-chest sobs that you can't suppress even if you want to. What movie "gets you every time?" |

The Lion King (jk....although I did cry when I saw it in 4th grade...poor Mufasa )I'd have to say The Pianist. Not until after I read Szpilman's autobiography, though. After reading that and crying, it's hard to watch the movie and not cry. Seeing the pictures of him and his family, and knowing what happened to them - that's what got me. His writing style is so beautiful and real. WOW. Some almost-tears/light streaming down the cheeks at Immortal Beloved. Beethoven = my favorite composer. My dad's playing of his music inspired me to take up piano, and anytime I hear Beethoven, I think of my dad. We have also been to Bonn, and being in Beethoven's birth house was an experience I cannot describe and will never forget. |

I don't cry easily during movies. Perhaps that's cause my movie watching tends to be in the sci fi, silly comedy (think Kevin Smith), or war movie genres. There is an episode of the West Wing that I have on DVD that makes me cry EVERY TIME. I've seen it dozens of times, and I still can't keep it together when I watch it. For fans of the show, it's the episode where Simon, CJ's body guard, is shot when he inadvertantly walks into the middle of a convenience store hold up. The Jeff Buckly rendition of "Hallelujah" is playing over top of it. I bawl like a baby. Another West Wing crying episode is when the Vietnam vet is found dead at the Washington Mall. I cry at the funeral. But movies...I can't think of one that gets me. |

Confession time: I cry every time I see the ending of The Wedding Singer, when Adam Sandler seranades Drew Barrymore on the plane with that "Growing Old With You" song. *siiiigh*. I'd be a sucker for a musician

I can't stand watching the second half of Fiddler on the Roof, because I break up every time I watch it, and that gets really annoying. . . No, seriously, the Fiddler on the Roof, a movie called Rose White, the Hiding Place. There are a couple others, but I think I've confessed enough for now. . . |

Wait! I thought of one! At the end of Schindler's List, when the (real life) Holocaust survivors are putting the rocks on Schindler's grave. (and in more TV related news, I also cry at the end of the final episode of M*A*S*H) |

Do that in front of a girl, and you'll probably make her swoon for you! 'Course, it depends on the girl, but I think that a lot of girls like guys to show a bit of a sensitive side

I can't think of the name of the movie; but there's a young boy who is artificial, and starts feeling real emotion and love for his 'parents'. I don't remember the story exactly but I do remember crying and being really upset. I know I said I could never watch it again. Midnight Cowboy.Love the movie, but I cry. Ok, I also weep at sappy, happy comercials.

Yes, but do you buy the product? If you don't, the commercial may have succeeded on an emotional level, but failed on its manipulative level. |

Tomorrow my Logic and Reasoning class is going to watch Babette's Feast. Luckily it is all females so we can cry together. I had better stop for tissues in the morning. I'm using it as an example of introjection, denial, and the personal dimension of logic and reasoning. This class has come a long way in that they are able to "hear" both sides of an issue, identify fallacies, and support their claims without emotional hostility. On another side, not all of life is logical. It is in those illogical moments of human kindness that we understand the true meaning of faith and unconditional love. Wed's movie is Sophie's Choice. More tissues. |

No, absolutley not. I am acutely aware of what commercials are trying to do, and more often than not, am turned off a product by a manipulative, or really stupid (there's lots of those) ad. I may be emotional and sappy, but I'm not stupid. |

In the Green Mile when John Coffey is telling of the pain and suffering he's gone through in life. Only time in my teenage years have I cried because of a movie. |

Meg: I can't believe this is happening to me. I can never go back to school again. Stewie: Oh yes Meg, yes, yes, yes, everything was going swimmingly for you until this. Yes, yes, this is the thing that will ruin your reputation. Not your years of grotesque appearance or awkward social graces, or that Felix Ungerish way you clean your sinuses. No, no, no, it's this. Do you hear yourself talk? I might kill you tonight. | |
