A few things make me well up/feel like I have been kicked in the nuts.

The funeral of Theodred in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

The final scene in Saving Private Ryan.

And for the ultimate sucker punch to the nutsack, I still can't watch Munich ever again. No matter how incredible the movie was, I can't take the drain of that movie ever again.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!

Anything with the Holocaust in it gets me a LITTLE choked up - especially in Band Of Brothers. They're making a new one! How awesome will that be? Can't wait.

But no, not really a crier when it comes to films.

My first cry at a movie was Finding Nemo and I was 18 at the time. When he swims off at the end then swims back and says "I love you dad" it was so unbearably sweet.

To add some cheer to the thread I cried for 99% of Titanic, though I did smile when Crapio went under for the last time and didn't come up.

Hmm, I have cried at the end of a few but for the life of me can't remember them now. I'll post again when I figure it out.

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

I honestly thought I was getting a different sort of thing out, what with giant machines and all.
Instead I got a 20 minute skit of a couple using mobile phones (of all things) to keep in contact.

Wouldn't it be easier to, I don't know, write a letter? Go through the official channels?

Movies I will never watch again because they were emotionally draining:

1. Leaving Las Vegas
2. Welcome to the Dollhouse
3. Requiem for a Dream

Movies that made me cry tears of sad

1. UP
2. Tuesdays with Morrie

There's probably more. I'll ask my wife. She keeps a scorecard somewhere.

I'm a big puss. I cry in any kinda sad movie, and my GF never does. Most recent one was Marley & Me. I coulda gone through a whole box o' kleenex.

One that gets me every time though is Lord of the Rings, when Boromir dies.

I don't cry while watching movies. I just sit there eating broken glass.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

The Notebook. Watched it with my girlfriend, my eyes welled up. Mainly because thinking about the lives of those before me, regardless of how they died, brings about a great sadness in me.

Black Hawk Down. Especially right after the two Delta Force guys (their names escape me...) get killed.

Saving Private Ryan.

What can I say. I am a sucker for military movies; they're sure to cause my eyes to fill up. Probably because I really want to enlist... If I can watch these and still want to join up, that's good, right? Or is my male-teen invincibility feeling just taking over?

Oh, and +1 for the Theodred funeral in LoTR, and Eomer when he finds Eowyn on the Fields of Pelennor (sp?) for the first time. Damn.

Now I am thinking of more... I watched the Last Samurai a few years ago when I was 11 or 12, and I was bawling after the samurai's last charge was stopped by the Gatling Guns, and the main samurai kills himself and the last thing he sees are the blossoming cherry trees... Now that I think about it, I'm a puss...

I don't cry while watching movies. I don't cry for a lot of things.

I don't get that emotionally invested in them. Like most things. I enjoy doing stuff, but I don't get passionate about hobbies or work or things in general and not even my father's death in front (he ruptured an artery and bled out into a lung) of me nor his funeral brought tears to my eyes.

Yes, some would see me as being cold and unfeeling (I score quite low on empathic responses) as a result. In my life I've usually been the one who has had to put stuff behind me and get stuff done. It's easy to compartmentalise or disassociate for me.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

I dunno about crying, but a good war movie always hits me in the gut... Platoon, Saving Private Ryan, et cetera.

Another +1 for Theodred's funeral in Lord of the Rings.

Also, though it's not a movie a lot of moments in M*A*S*H have gotten me choked up.

Even though I wasn't a big fan of the film,I had the same reaction.
It's bizzare,I can watch the most horrific things happen to people and not give an airbourne cotious what happens to them,but let an animal (especialy a dog) get hurt and I'm upset.
I think perhaps seeing "Old yella" as a child left some scars.

Godzilla vs. King Kong in the end when Godzilla didn't resurface and King Kong did and swam away. I was devastated! My world crumbled. I was like six, though.

Actaully it depends wich version of Godzilla vs King Kong your watching,the film had two endings,King Kong wins in the Americanized ending (which is the one you saw),Godzilla wins in the version wich played in japan,true story.

Sorry, this is a rumor. There is only ONE ending. The only difference between the two films is one scene in which the US Navy fires off some missiles somewhere in the middle of the film. That's it. The visual, burned into my six year old retina, was clear even if the narration doesn't imply a winner. BTW I am a dai-kaiju nut and own both versions.
