Amen, brother.

Unless you count tears of utter boredom, then I'd be guilty of it during most any movie my wife decides I need to see.

thats funny, because i can honestly say I have never cried during a movie. The closest ever was the first time I saw Braveheart and he yelled "Freedom" as his intestines were hanging out.

You didnt cry when Old Yeller died? Thats just unamerican

How about in field of dreams?? My theory was that the theatre got really dusty

You've got to be kidding me ... Whether or not the movie made me cry is often my number one criteria for naming it a favorite.

Tell me you did not cry while watching:

Shane
Old Yeller
Sophies Choice (also curdled my blood)
Cinderella Man


.... shall I go on ... losers!

I guess I am a pussy then.....

I cried during Superbowl pre-game stuff when they did the piece on the Special Ed. type of Pop Warner football league in the Midwest. (2 teams with kids with disabilities... Autism, Down Syndrome, all type of ailments...)

Kids in wheelchairs and walkers winning trophies and scoring touchdowns.

Granted, my wife works in Special Ed. and I have been around these type of children constantly for the last 6 years. It killed me as a parent.

I have contacted our local youth football league here in town to see if it is possible to start something like that here. I offered to coach a team or volunteer as a commisioner.

I challenge anyone to watch the movie 'Crash' and make it through the part where the little girl runs out to give daddy his magic cape without shedding a tear. (Those of you who've seen it will know this part and what happens).

As for me, I'll go ahead and admit it--I wept like a baby. Okay, maybe not that bad, but more than one tear was shed.

While I'm removing my robe of masculinity, might as well throw it off altogether: I cry often watching movies, TV shows, and yes, even commercials.

My wife makes fun of me so I can handle anything you guys throw at me.

Here's a list of some tear-jerkers off the top of my head:
In America
the end of Shadowlands
My Life
the end of the trial in A Time to Kill
Moulin Rouge (I can hear you all laughing now, but this is a great movie)
Shine
Of Mice and Men (w/Malkovich)
Glory/Schindler's List/Private Ryan/Brotherhood of War (Tae Guk Gi)
And yes.....

....even Rudy.

But those were happy tears.

Crying at a movie does not make you a pussy. Publicly admitting that you cry at movies does make you a pussy, though. :wink:

I must be the uber-pussy cause I've cried in a number of movies.


Saving Private Ryan I was bawling like a freaking baby near the end. Of course the experience was very different than your average movie going experience.

I was there on opening night with my brother and a good friend. There happened to be a number of WW II vets in the theater with us and near the end when he asks his wife to tell him that he's a good man....yeah I lost it.

What really killed me though,,,,the scene where's he talking to the headstone of the Capt who saved his life and then salutes the headstone....a vet sitting in front of me stood up at actually saluted the screen.....that's when I turned into a blubbering idiot.

On my way out I saw him standing there in his old flight jacket and hat and I gave him a hug. It was pretty overwhelming for me.

So yeah,,,I'm a puss.

I wish I could refute this, but I really don't remember Mike crying at any movies-- though he's admitting to 'welling up' occasionally. I remember crying at the Joy Luck Club, and most recently I welled up to In America.
