Do you get tearful when watching certain films?

I get emotional at certain scenes of a good movie.In fact I am looking forward to weep as it means I am watching a good movie which is very very rare nowadays.The Notebook,Dyeing young,Love story and Lorenzo's oil are some of the movies that come into my mind which managed to bring tears in my eyes.

Dont worry dear you are not the only one who cries and I can vouch for another 2 persons in my family. One my mother and the other is my sister and as you said even if I am watching the movie for the 100th time I would still cry. My hubby keeps his kerchief ready as soon as there is a emotional scene be it at home or in the theatre and says I am a cry baby.

As much as I hate to admit it LOL..yes there are certain movies that make me get all teary-eyed...and it doesnt matter how many times I watch them either...movies like Pay It Forward, Powder and most recently Seven Pounds..just to name a couple..

As a guy I usually don't walk around talking about these types of films, but I will admit that a few in particular get to me every time. There aren't too many films that generate a flood of emotions, but the work of Wes Anderson does it to me twice. Once at the end of The Royal Tenenbaums, and once again at the end of The Life Aquatic. A friend of mine has said (correctly) that seldom does art make you laugh at one moment and then cry the next. The Life Aquatic submarine scene does that (apparently for both of us). Also, Punch-Drunk Love, by Paul Thomas Anderson. A slow, thoughtful movie, and a personal favorite of mine. I'm noticing a common thread in these films, they aren't your typical love stories, and the two Wes Anderson moments are not even male/female! So I guess that's part of it for me, that the movie tends to be a guys movie about guys. But i don't cry often because those movies are seldom emotional.

You definitely aren't alone in this situation. Right off the top of my head I can think of many many movies that I've watched where I have been reduced to tears. No, I definitely don't think that you are alone with this happening to you when you are watching movies. In fact, if you want me to be completely honest, I think that you would be in the minority if you were to say that you never get emotional when you are watching movies.

You are not alone with your feeling. There are certain films which I am able to see several times and I always cry when I watch them. There is for example a film called "Man in an iron mask" with Leonard di Caprio which is one of my favorit films. Also the film "Cyrano de Bergerac" is a one of those films.

I get teary when I watch Longtime Companion. It's a movie about a group of friends and how they die over the course of the crisis. It's a horrible endeavor and always makes me cry within four minutes of starting.

it is natural to get affected by a film, these are true stories. I am a male species and i do get teary eyed when i watch some dramas. I can't help it ,too. though , i am not that emotional but the thought of it makes me do cry. If i see something beatiful then that is where it hits me.

I do not think there is anything wrong with getting tearful when watching certain films. I do think the director of the film is really successful or the film is a success if it can achieve the goal of touching your heart. I do feel emotional when watching certain films - it is as if I am the lead actor.

actually i also got carried away with the story specially if i can relate to it, like i can remember those days that it happened to me also and so i cant help myself but cry coz i know the feelings. or even if i cant relate to the story but the main character suffer the pain i also cry coz i also know how it is to have that kind of feelings. or perhaps, im just a girl who have a soft heart that can easily be melted away.

Hello I do the same thing all the time, and yes I watch it over/over and get the same feeling, I use think something was wrong with me but now I realize there is nothing wrong with me/us we are good people and we find it easy to put ourself in other peoples shoes even if they are just acting, when I watch Little House forget about it, my family always know when to look at me lol I just watched "I could do bad by myself" by Tyler Perry and that movie is really good, did you see that one, girl its a good one one of the best he has done that I have seen. No worries don't change its a good thing, some people don't know how to cry, or too ashamed consider yourself blessed I do. Thanks great discussion.

Hey kelly, There are movies watching which excite emotion. Such a movie is Roots (1977) by Alex Haley. I watched this movie on TV when I was 8. Though I wasn't mature enough, it moved me a lot with a feeling of sorrow and sympathy. Another movie was Romeo and Juliet (1968). Another is 'Hamlet' (1969). And such are: Love Story (1970), King Lear (1971), Spartacus (1960) and so on. I hope you'll like them. Have a nice day.

There are scenes in some movies which touch you so much that you do feel tearful. It is only natural to feel so as we are humans.

yes, I cry while watching an emotional scene in a movie or a TV show. Last time I cried watching movie 3 Idiots which had many scene where I lost my control on emotions. Scenes were very practical to relate with our life and that is what makes me cry.

i think i'm the kind of being too soft. i also will get tearful when watching any film. cause i always can find the emotional party in each film. well, yesterday, i re-watched the TITANIC again, and got tearful so much again. but one of my male friends think i'm too soft. they wont get tearful casue they know the films mostly are not true, only novels...

I cry at everything any more.... I am only 40 but I believe the change has crept up on me because I am really feeling and seeing the signs..... I cry at anything Oprah, Armagadeon, Ladder 49, Fireproof you name it anything that has sadness in it .... I guess I just feel for people and movies.....

Hi Kellywhit, I am very honest with my emotions when watching movies. when i watched comedy films i laugh and laugh to the point of crying. when it's drama yes...i cried. i am usually carried out with scenes in the movies. it feels good being true to my emotions.

Well, I'm of the same kind. I burst into tears when watching films presenting suffering and tragedies that's why I generally avoid them. It also depends on the mood you are in. When your life is miserable, it's normal to burst into tears when seeing a film that resembles your life. That's why I use to watch documentary films about rescuing animals. These help me rise my spirit especially when I see cubs of animals, they are such a comfort! But I do not use to see comedies, I think most of them are silly!

Yes, there are movies which make me cry whenever I watch. It may that I was watching that movie 5th time, even than I cry. When we like a movie scene, we get into the character or the scene and start comparing our situation. I hide from others that I am crying while watching the movie. That is not with many people so I think that they will think I am very emotional and can not control my emotions.

Yeah! when i was child i had seen a film which brought my tears from eyes the film is patriotic one...and having a very hearty story..today also when i see that movie i get very much touchy...
