I cry at movies

I'm a guy and I cry at movies, although I think I've only ever cried in front of anyone once, and that was many years ago at the end of the Alan Ladd movie, "Shane", as he's riding away into the distance. I was watching this movie with family members, and had to leave the room in a hurry, as I was blubbing uncontrollably. I was pretty embarassed, and I've never done it since; but when alone, well I can cry at the drop of a hat. In fact, as a singer-musician, it helps me to get into the mood when I'm recording a song on my home recording equipment. I'll play a moving song and start to cry, and it kinda gets me into an emotional state. Although more often than not by the time I get the "take", I'm no longer remotely sad. It's a kind of a ritual for me. But as I recall there have been times in public I've had to use powers of self-control to stop weeping openly. In fact last time I think was when I was watching "The Way We Were" with family. Unless I'm mistaken, I had to fiercely resist not bawling like an infant: that movie gets to me I'll admit it, especially the way Streisand sings the theme song, it's just so sad. I guess I'm just a sentimental, soft-hearted individual. I can be strong, don't get me wrong; it's just that my heart is very easily touched.

Hey marguicha, i think it depends on the movie itself. If the movie is really sad, i might cry at certain part of the show. However, whenever i do that, i hope people don't see so i'll try my best to control if i'm with others.

not that i am criticizing, but i don't understand how people can cry over movies. i understand WHY they cry over movies. i guess, i was just never that moved to cry. this being said, i have seen some really heart tugging movies. i've been moved, but never wanted to cry.

I use to cry at some movies before i got so hard-hearted, lol. I don't even remember the last time i did. Don't cry near as much as i use to period. I use to be a squall baby but not anymore.

Yes I do cry when I see a movie that is about life and what could have being! it touches my heart in a very deep way I don't think I cry any less than when I was young thou but then I could hide my feelings now I don't care if any one sees me crying!

Yes I cry at movies, not all but some. The notebook is a real tear jerker. I even cry when I am reading books.

I used to in my younger years but due to some trials I've gone through, my crying habit stopped and I find it difficult to cry even in real life circumstances but deep within I empathize with the situation. Exceptions are programs or movies showing children's suffering, that's where I can't hold back my tears and sometimes I am not even aware that I am already crying.

Guilty here! I don't know why I get too affected/emotional when I watch movies or tv programs that drama in nature. Sometimes, I could control it, but most of the times, I just cry.

ya that is the natural and most basic human tendency to get emotional and sentimental and to panic for sure and we must control ourself

i do cry whenever i watched a touching movie.. i love watching movies specially love stories and i remember i cried when i watched.. the notebook, a walk to remember and fifty first dates.. all have a touching stories so i cant help but sympathized for the characters in the stories.. and whenever my husband sees me crying he always teasing me so as much as possible i watched movies alone..

I easily cry. Whenever I watch a very touching movie, I do cry a lot. My husband usually tells me that it is not a good movie when it makes me cry. But I love movies which touch the heart and reflect the reality.

I have a cousin sister who is much elder than me. She always cry when she watch movies or even a drama shows in the TV. She is easily influence and moved emotionally. Each time she watch movies or drama TV shows, she would ended up finding facial tissue . . So, we used called her crying baby as either happy or sad she will easily shed her tears. Tears of joy and saddness .

I used to cry so much at movies when I was little! I cried a lot when Mufasa was killed and Simba was calling for help in Lion King.
