I have to admit that i freely 'well up' with a severe case of the sniffles at some films whilst i'm alone although i rarely cry. It's funny watching my boys sometimes if there is something sad on the tv. That intense stare, with your hand on your chin. Answering questions with "uhmm" or a simple "yep" for fear of letting the tears out:hehe:
So, is it just me?, do you blub a little and try to hide it? or are you a stonefaced one that wouldn't even cry with an arrow through your left testicle? ( ala kingdom of heaven and earth )

Hav'nt done it so far. Maybe I'm just a callous, cold-hearted Deamon deep down.

I remember crying my eyes out when I watched that lassie movie when he got stranded on a boat and it was floating away down the river.

I will admit that I may have cried the odd tear (although some of laughter) while I was watching “The Shawshank Redemption”. Not nearly as much as other people though and not at the same periods during films either.

End of "Officer & A Gentleman". How sad is that - me ,not the cinematic presentation (refuses to use the word "movies".

Apollo 13 - Launch. It`s the music that gets me.

Oh yes - I forgot my wedding video!



If I`d known the plot before I got there, I wouldn`t have bothered! (sorry Shirl!)

I have cried.. recently.. but that was due to depression plus the movie being rather sad/emotional!

Don't you feel pretty embarrassed to admit that you actually cry?
i mean all the 'ard guys must be reading this and thinking "haha bunch of sissy's"

Don`t have a problem with it. I certainly don`t see it as a sign of weakness. However, cacking your pants at a scary film is another matter (me as well unfortunately)

Must admit, I cried when they threw Herbie off the ship in "Herbie goes bananas". I was much younger though. No really, I was.....

I think I've cried do to some piece of crap having made it to the "big screen" and actually spending money to see it!


Actually I get emotional with a good sad movie, especially if watched at home.

Also, shed a tear or two, everytime I hear the quieter parts of the theme to the "Dambusters".......

Yup I rarely do but I do.

Round Midnight, the scene where Dexter says he can pay the dinner for himself.

Autobiographic I guess.

Since I have 2 little daughters I tend to cry quicker, especially when kids in the pic loose their mother, are hurt or whatever.

ET - "I'll... be... right..." try to hold it in man, she's blubbing away but you've gotta keep it together!

But The Big Blue does it for me, and I can't help myself
