Anyone have them? Ever felt so emotional while watching a movie that your eyes starts to get watery and you shed a few tears, and you quickly try to hide it so your friends wont laugh at you?

I just finished watching Forrest Gump again, and for some god damn reason i cant make it through the movie without chocking up atleast 3-4 times. I had to pause the movie constantly so i wouldnt cry like a little girl. Tom Hanks is the ONLY actor that has ever made me have manly tears. It also happened in Cast Away when he lost Willson. These are the only two movies i have ever had manly tears on, theres something about Tom Hanks that turns me into a emotional wreck.

Anyone else?
 
Yes movies make me cry pretty easily.

methinks you have a man crush on Tom Hanks


the movie that gets me every single time is the end scene in Roberto Benigni's Life is Beautiful. in fact everyone I know who's seen it agree they lost it at that same moment
 
The movie Milk is the only one I can think of offhand. The ending is so sad...

Man, if you didn't, you have no soul. What a great film.

The Machinist actually got me, which might be a little weird, but...
 
OMG WHAT HAPPENS TO HARVEY MILK? IS HE SHOT OR SOMETHING?


spoilers ;)

Hey man, I dont poke fun at your choices. Doesnt matter if its unexpected, its very sad all the same.

Hmm, what part of the Machinist?
 
I've had them a few times but mainly with tv shows. 24 choked me up a few damn times, as well as Spooks and hell even the xmas special send of Extras 0_o

Films not so much.
 
As strange as it sounds, the Vincent Van Gogh episode from Doctor Who, really got to me.
 
Me too actually. It was beautifully moving.
 
I will waiiiiiit for youuuuu ;(

Also, the ending to Requiem for a Dream.
 
Goddamned Pixar movies, tbh. Though there's nothing manly about that.
 
Up, Toy Story 3, Magnolia

There's nothing wrong with some eye watering. You get into the story, the characters and you root for them.
 
Star Wars Episode 3, Cloverfield, I Am Legend.

-When I looked at the clock.
 
I'm a massive bitch when it comes to these things. I cry very easily at movies.
 
I can't think of any movies that have made me cry offhand, to be honest, though that's not to say I haven't been completely overwhelmed by them, just no crying. Books make me cry all the time.

Star Wars Episode 3, Cloverfield, I Am Legend.

u r so kool mayne
 
I've never seen up :(

It's really good, but yeah, same deal. The first 15 minutes of the movie is about how a kid meets a girl, they grow older, fall in love, get married, try and fail to have kids, and the guy's wife dies at like 60 or so without them ever being able to take their dream vacation. God damnit, now I have something in my eye. *blink blink*... *ahem*.

Yeah. I was going to say... "Jurassic Bark, enough said"... but you already covered it.


Also, Luck of the Fryrish gets me too.


No movie has ever seemed to make me feel as terrible as Jurassic Bark did... and I don't think ever will.
 
I've only really ever welled up watching one movie and that was Forest Gump, specifically Jenny's grave scene. That get's me every time.
 
Jenny was a whore!

But the only time I cried was at the end of Terminator 2, when he...

... *sniff*

It gets me every time.
 
Oh shit yeah. That wrecks me every time.

Also Iron Giant.

:(
 
I never got emotional during that Terminator 2 scene, even though I really got into the movie.

I was just always thinking, "Chin up kid, he'll be back."
 
I used to cry over Bambi when I was really, really young. Movies make me sad to the point in which my eyes tear up a little, but I don't start balling my eyes out..

Up make me really sad ;( I can't think of any more, but I know there's still some.
 

This. The missus went on about how it was good, so I agreed to watch it with her. Needless to say I cried like a bitch, such an emotional film.

There are a few others where I have felt myself coming close to shedding tears, but I don't think anything has really got to me as much as I Am Sam.

Oh and Armageddon.
 
The ending of The Last Samurai gets me EVERY time without fail.

And the Band Of Brothers intro music makes me well up even when Im not watching the series.
 
Up had me in floods for half the damn film. I cried at the executions in The Green Mile and one or twice during Band of Brothers.
 
With films it's rather uncommon for me to cry, atm I can't think of any other than La Vita E Bella.
Oh and Pixar obviously, they've been making me cry since the Finding Nemo intro.

TV though, gawd. Especially some West Wing episodes such as The Long Goodbye, The Warfare of Genghis Khan, or any of the episodes where they killed characters off.

Also, Marcus and Ivannova in B5 :( :(
 
I used to never cry at movies. Now I always do.

- Land Before Time when Littlefoot's mommy dies. There's this one part where they drew Littlefoot with the most depressed face I've ever seen.
- Grave of the Fireflies: the death montage... you know the one.

And for some reason Science of Sleep makes me cry a lot. Way more than Eternal Sunshine (I don't think I cry at all during Eternal Sunshine, actually).

And yes, all the Pixar films.

Also, one time my sister made me see Sister's Keeper with her. That entire movie is one long death montage.
