i'm not much of a crybaby but there are certain films that really make me cry and i just can't stop myself. i feel so drawn by the lines that my tears keep falling. my siblings have always teased me about this but i thought that it was just natural to feel this way. i have come across this as a certain psychological disorder but i don't think that there's anything serious with my reactions. i really cried when i watched the notebook and other similar touching movies. whn i hear nice lines that seem to touch my heart, i can feel the tears starting to fall and i'm like, "oh boy, here i go again." lol. what about you? what movies have made you cry?

That happens to me all the time! I don't know what to do and it's sometimes hard to not let it show. I think it's just the emotional part that gets to me. I cried during the notebook, I think it's normal. My brothers used to make fun of me when I'd cry during a movie but then, I would catch them crying, too and it wasn't something they would do much after that. My kids make fun of it, too but I catch them on certain occasions crying during a movie, some people just hide it a little better than others.

Hello ladyella, I cry when I watch a touching movie or listening to a touching song lyrics! Like you, my husband likes to tease me whenever he sees tears in my eyes. I have to admit that I am quite a sensitive and easy to cry person. My husband used to think that I am a very weak and emotional person when he started dating me. As time goes by, he thinks that I don't cry too much like I used to be before *laughs*

I have to admit that I do cry while watching movies. I am a cry baby when watching shows. My family laughs at me all the time.

I am a kind of person who dont get much involved in movies and as you said above i was also thinking about such peoples who cry watching movies as a psychological disorder but then i watched a movie which made me cry and i realized that if you can feel the situation or you have passed through such situations which the movie is about then you can feel them by your heart and this will make you cry. I cried while watching the Will Smith's "Pursuit of Happiness". His relations with her son make me cry and the situations he was try to comfort his son made me cry.

In my case i can't say maybe. Some movies made me cry specially when it is very dramatic or tragical one. It's because we give value the scene in real life.

Yes, I am a big sap I cry during movies often and television shows too. I relate on a deep level to things that are going on, on the screen and I can't help myself from getting a little emotional when I watch stuff. My husband thinks it is hilarious. He always looks at me when there is something sad going on just to see if I am crying, and then he laughs when he sees that I am. I can't help it. I am sensitive. The Notebook was an excellent movie by the way, and yes I cried during that too.

No there is no movie which made me to cry til date.i agree there are lot who cry while watching movie .i really think that these kind of people are not emotionally strong.They can even feel the pain of others in their own life.i belive that one should be strong by both by his mind as well as heart.one should not become aemotional fool by crying at wht cant be the reality

Ya it happens sometimes when an emotional scene touches your heart and you feel like crying it happens.There are some scenes that matches your life story and you feels the same and starts crying and anger and laugh all these emotions are part.So,its not a big deal.

Funny. I just cried watching the latest episode of Private Practice. But Indian movies are ones that I almost most certainly always cry watching them. It doesn't matter what the movie is about. There are some really sad and touching moments in every Indian movie that really get to me. The one that I cried non stop on was Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. It's funny to people when I tell them that I cried watching these movies because they wonder why on earth am I going to watch a movie if I"m going to cry. Watch something more happy.

If the story is really heart-breaking, I do. Sometimes, even if its my second time seeing that movie, I still can't help myself from crying. One of the movies that made me cry is "A Walk to Remember", the rest are local films.

Movies make me cry a lot! I have a select few that always make me cry, even though I have seen them a hundred times before. THe movie Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Whoopie Goldberg is the first one to come to mind. It never fails, all I have to do is catch the last sceen of that movie and I am in tears.

Hi ladyella, I cry a lot, and get a headache. So I avoid watching anything sad, if I can help it. :) Is it psychological disorder? Well, then all of us who admitted crying need help, dont we? LOL. No, I dont think so. When u go to shop, u like a dress very much, u pick it. It is not necessary that another person likes the dress as much as u do. We all relate the dialogues and scenes to something personal that we've felt. Each one of has different set of feelings, that is all. Remember no two individuals dream exactly alike. So how can emotions be? In some aspects we resemble, and in some aspects we differ. U and me, v are alike on this point. :) So dont ever let anybody say it is psychological disorder. :)

I hate to admit this but I did or and I think I'll do it again whenever I see a very sad movie. But not that crying with lots of tears. Only teary eyes I think. Sad movies with realistic scenes or events really has chances to make me cry. Lol shadow41

of coarse where human being,we have emotions and feelings that can relate to the movies we are watching.And some movies touches our life its like same thing that happened to us.And some movies are true to life stories so its means its really happening in our daily life.
