The subject is 100% explanatory: Which movie brings you to the edge of crying?

Almost all of us have a film, which has a scene which brings you close to the brink of crying, or purely welling up.

So which film does it for you?

For me it has to be...

...*drum roll*...

...<b>Flight Of The Navigator</b>. The scenes in the region of where the young chap 'leaks' do it for me. I think it's more the music, that gives me a floating, tingling and welling-up feeling.

Before the question is asked...yes, I have sobbed to it!

I'm a straight guy. I don't get all teary-eyed at movies.

Only movie I'll admit that made me actually teary was "My Life" starring Michael Keaton. Another good one is a badass Kevin Kline movie "Life as a House"

I saw one on Encore and the other on dvd, no way in crap I'd see them in theaters (I've got balls, but a single guy seeing a chick movie takes a lot of balls)



It's all good ^_^

Well, sometimes ya do it just to get some. That doesn't take balls, just a libido. Can always just space out for a little while and think about the action you're going to get for taking a dive and seeing a crappy chick flick with her. That's what I do.

Lol, suppose one has to be gay to have an outlet of emotion? Haven't cried in many years because there has been no reason to (physical pain doesn't make me, but I suppose something that really hurt deep down would). No offense, but people who say I'm straight and a man thus I cannot cry are full of it.

All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening.

That scene in Rambo: First Blood 2 when his female partner dies - Stallones acting was so brilliant.... j/k of course. Nothing I can think of.

Reply to sirak

The only film that has made me cry was Saving Private Ryan, the scene right at the end when Matt Damon goes to Tom Hanks grave...tears rolled, big time. I suppose it was because I was just totally engrossed in the film, really caught up in it all.

Movies that have made me cry:

Titanic

Stepmom (it was around the time my mum had cancer so I was completely balling my eyes out when the mother in the movie died of cancer)

Bruce Almighty (the sweet part at the end...even PooBaa had tears in his eyes but don't tell anyone)

Armagedon

...and lots lots more.
Anything sad or really sweet in movies leaves me in tears! lol

What movie makes or made you laugh the most/hardest?

<i>M*A*S*H</i> (No, not the TV pilot. The Robert Altman film)

Honorable mentions:
<i>Young Frankenstein</i> ("Pardon me boy, is this the Transylvania Station?" )
<i>The Naked Gun</i>
<i>South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut</i> (even the title is funny)
<i>A Night At the Opera</i> ("Everyone knows there ain't no sanity clause." )
<i>Ace Ventura: Pet Detective</i> (The first time)
<i>Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery</i> (The first time)

Titanic. Yeah I cried at that...

...At having to sit through such a shite film. The only good bit in it is when Leonardo finally dies. I cheered at that point. Although Kate Winslett does get her kit off, which is always a bonus.

Not my cup of tea really.

Which movie made me laugh so hard I got tears in my eyes... has to be Ace Venture.

Titanic was the only movie I ever walked out on, intentionally-- right after they hit the iceberg. Dumb characters, dumb script, dumb score. Art direction and special efects, however, were very good. <i>L.A. Confidential</i> was much more deserving of the AMPAS Best Picture Award

Films with absolute non-sense like Naked Gun or pretty much any comedy movie featuring Leslie Neilsen make me burst of laughter.
I think Wronfully Accused was one of the films I most laughed on, to the point of losing breath. Anyone remember the wiring of the car in the parking lot, making it jump up and down and honking La Cucaracha?

Movies like this, and for example Scary Movie, all feature things that come out of nowhere, and THAT I love the most in comedies, and it makes me just burst. Hadn't seen such films out lately in a long time, which is downright sad. All comedies nowadays must have a love story with too much emotions. I just don't want that all the time damn it!

Cry: Uh. I'll go with Saving Private Ryan. That's manly and made me shed a tear. So did Schindler's List.

Mad: This movie will make any woman cry and any man want to kill someone. We almost started a riot in the theater since it was all couples and all the guys were begging to leave or else! At least 20 people walked out. It was just too much for any sane person to handle. It was nominated for best foriegn film but lost. Just thinking about this movie makes me mad: Breaking the Waves.

Laugh: They're called comedies. I laugh during comedies.

I was listening to a morning radio show in Atlanta, where they played a tape of a guy they'd mic'd up and sent to see Patch Adams (I haven't seen it, but understand there's a bunch of sad parts in it). They had him laugh his ass off every time some sad part happened, and he got tossed out of the theater. Was hilarious.

I can't remember that movie but I think the idea is great!! I need to try that.

I once got really high and went and saw pocohontos and half the theater left since I kept talking to the movie really loud saying obscene things. That's really fun too. Only reason I didn't get thrown out is because I knew the people who worked there.

Now, what they did to the Cobra in Bad Boys was definitely worth crying about. For the others, I just cried to make her say "Aww, that's so SWEEEEET!" and make her wanna give it up even more. Except for Finding Nemo, that is. Ain't seen that one yet.

The problems with comedies is that the writers and producers feel that, in order to appeal to the broadest range of audience, they must go with the lowest common denominator-- A total lack on inspiration. Recent examples: <i>Just Married, How To Loose a Guy In 10 Days, The Hot Chick, Leagally Blond II, Alex and Emma, ect.</i>

The closest for me is "The Shawshank Redemption", which is by far the greatest film ever made. Truly amazing.

Titanic? Titanic? Titanic? Oh my. When I first saw it I was with my brother and 2 friends at a Casino Hotel room (when it was still in the theatres). At the end I just couldn't believe how crappy a movie it was. My brother agreed, but my 2 stupid friends were like "ugh, you just don't get it because you've never been in love." That was just about the most retarded phrase I've ever heard from those boners. I can't see how anyone besides 12 year old girls liked that movie.

I've sat through some utter toss just to get some later on, but the only film I ever walked out on was <i>To Wong Fu....</i> What a pile of horseshit that was. It was coma material, pure and simple. Lasted an hour before I told my girlfriend I'd rather have colonic irrigation than stomach another second of it. She later admitted she too thought it was wank.

Still got some though.

Funnily enough, I have to be drunk to cry at all.

One or two got me wet-eyed the first time I saw em drunk:

Gladiator (end bit where he dies).
Braveheart (bit where he shouts "Freedom!" as he's being tortured & the bit where his wife gets executed).
Ghost (Demi was extra cute in this one and she cryed a lot)

Ones that can get me wet-eyed any time I wtch em drunk:

Saving Private Ryan (ones or two parts of the film, including the death of the medic guy)
Schindler's List (the part where he leaves the jews)

Just a big softie really. :redface:


Needless to say, I imagine there will be no end of "Camie's a drunk" replies.

I was going to mention the Shawshank Redemption as well but it's been so long since I've seen that movie that I don't remember why it was sad.

The remake of Gone in 60 Seconds brings me to tears at the end. What they do to that 67 Shelby just isn't right. As well as when the Charger gets demolished in The Fast and The Furious. Any scenes like that, really, where they just completely destroy a classic. It's just wrong.

One actor that damn nearly got me close to crying, which was on a TV show, it's Ed O'Neil. The guy that plays Al on Married with Children (old popular US sitcom). He later started a career acting in the recent remake of Dragnet. The way he acts seriously now (his Al character was the typical american slob. It was a show that liked to portray the typical american family back then) is just amazing. I recommend to anybody, to see that show and Ed's acting as the main character. He is just amazing, I keep feeling the emotions.

There's a scene in The Italian Job where Michael Caine's Aston Martin gets trashed by a bulldozer and I was like...."No, for god's sake, it's a classic. Trash the focking Mini's or the Jag's, but the not the bloody Aston."

My dream car is an Aston Martin if you hadn't already gathered.

I think around 15 years ago I saw a movie called Beaches. That was pretty sad, I almost shed a tear. Only movies that recently came out that I found sad were Braveheart and Armagedon.

I walked out on Night at the Roxbury and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. I said fvck it and just took a nap for about an hour in Titanic. The first Charlies Angels was so stupid to me I decided to go out and play video games for about 45 mins. I claimed to have "Stomach problems" when I walked back into the theater.

> I'm a straight guy. I don't get all teary-eyed at movies.

I am also a straight guy, and I've gotten teary eyed during a movie. Nothing wrong with that.

My father told me when I was young (I had ripped my hand half apart and said something to the tune of "I can't cry because men don't cry."-- I cant remember the exact wording anymore) something like ~There is nothing wrong with men crying and feeling emotion, it takes a bigger man to admit he is afraid or hurt and move on with life than it does to deny feeling the emotion.~ Course, at that age I thought he was full of [-peep-], but as the years have passed (I'm 26 now), I have come to realize that so long as you are comfortable with yourself, you can feel fear, you can be hurt, and things can make you sad, it doesn't make you less of a man to feel or act upon any of those things. *Everyone* (Adult, Child, Male and Female) feels them at some point in their life... and regardless of sex or age the only person who has failed is the person who is unable to move beyond them.

I cried during The Patriot...the scene where Mel Gibson'd littlest girl runs after him and pleads "don't leave me daddy!"... I've got a little one that looks like her, and it brought back bad memories of when I was in the Navy and had to leave for long deployments.
Movies I have left...
Armegeddon...to stupid
Evita...Borrrrring
True Lies...even more stupider
Movies I fell asleep in...
Star Wars
Jurassic park (the first one)
