I admit I cry at lots of movies - it's just a sympathetic reaction to witnessing characters crying (I can't be around anyone crying. If you were crying right now, I'd be too). There have been a lot of movies, however, that merited my tears. There have also been several that moved me to tears for no real apparent reason. Edward Scissorhands (I have NO idea why!) and Green Mile (which was a nice movie. But wracking SOBS?) Must've been the mood I was in when I saw them... | ||

"Life is Beautiful" for me too. Also, "About a Boy" -- I love when High Grant gets up and starts singing. DrewDix -- my parents named me after a character in "How Green was my Valley" -- I've never seen the whole movie -- I suppose I should. | ||

I have cried at so many movies throughout my life, but the one that sticks out as this absolute bawl-fest/empty-the-tissue-box moment was watching Truly, Madly, Deeply on this little TV on my kitchen table in Manhattan. And side note: When I saw Terms of Endearment in the theater when it came out I was in full-throttle anti-Hollywood manipulation mode and felt nothing but hostility. When I saw it years later, I wept like a baby during the hospital scene with her two boys. | ||

The last movie that got to me, and the only one I can recall, is Fahrenheit 911. That's probably because I have a brother serving in Iraq. | ||

I cry at everything - even nature channels when one animal is killing another in its natural habitat.... It's really ridiculous how easy it is to move me to tears... But, I ALWAYS cry my eyes out when I watch It's a Wonderful Life.....Oh God...I'm tearing up just writing this post and thinking about it. How pathetic... |
