Emotions.
You may experience a few of them in your lifetime.
It's okay; they're supposedly a natural phenomena.

I've just watched 'What Dreams May Come' and i cried at least twice. It was an extremely moving movie and i heartily recommend it to everyone.

So i'm just wondering what you guys think about people crying at films, and if there's any films that make you cry, and why?
Actually I was thinking of the end of Toy Story 3 when I voted "Hell yes". Amazing the number of grown men who had grit in their eyes when leaving that film.

I hate the notion that men must be made of steel and not be alowed to cry at anything, crying is one of the greatest emotions that humans being have, it can represent something joyus and wonderful or something truly terrible in equal measure.
I love that makes me cry, I'm not afraid to admit it.
Films based on true stories or real life seem to have even greater effect on me. Something like Restrepo, or Diving bell and the Butterfly, or Waltz with Bashir. Waltz with Bashir never fails to make me cry at that pivotal moment at the end, when it suddenly switches from animation to actual news footage and shows the bodies piled up in the streets and the women crying.
i'm sorry if this sounds trollish but crying is not an emotion it is the reaction of the body to great sadness like in remembrance day ceremonies and they play that damn song while showing a power-point of the soldiers who died young in wars gets to me every single time

I've shed a few tears during movies. I usually find that its at moments of intense lonliness or loss that get me. End of moulin rouge, any film involving a dog not knowing its owner has died or something, the pokemon movie when Ash almost dies...wait a minute. Forget I said that last one.

If you didn't cry at the end of Toy Story 3 you have no soul.
Yay! I have a soul! Also cried at the furnace scene...
Oh, and within the first ten minutes of Up... Damn you Pixar, you and you emotionally moving films!

And Marley and Me, despite the immense predictability of the ending.

I'd say crying at films is perfectly acceptable, and shows that you're capable of empathy. But my view might be a little biased, due to my tendency to cry like a little girl.

The first film I remember watching at the cinema, and crying while watching, was the first Pokémon movie
When Ash dies from double beam attack sacrifice
Sure, I was just a kid, but still...
It is fine for anyone to cry at the movies. Absolutely anyone, irrespective of sex, gender, age, etc.

Oh, man are you kidding me? I'm a total sap. I still cry at Disney movies, for God's sake.

Still, one movie than made me bawl my eyes out more times than I can count was the chinese film Bodyguards and Assassins. It's a drama but also an action film.

There are about nine or so well fleshed out characters, and by the movie's end all but two of them are dead, all of them heroically sacrificing themselves.

Ok yes it's a way of expressing emotion atleast, that's what I really should have said.

Crying depends for me. I don't think it's bad to cry in public, but it's a bit awkward when you're the onlyo one in the group who's crying.
I was watching up with my mum and my dad. We were all sat on the couch eating dominos pizza. We then started laughing our heads off at the one part and then started crying at how said the part of the film was...we all cryed at the same time. Me and my mum were choking on our pizza, while our dad was crying with us, then he started laughing at us choking... what a ***** :p

I used to feel sad at that part but now I laugh so hard, the movie, now that I realized it, is sooo OVER DRAMATIC!

Why wouldn't it be? If something hits you emotionally, go ahead and cry; it doesn't matter. If you think people shouldn't cry, imo, you're an ass, to be quite hoenst.

Hold on, do you mean at the cinema or just at movies in general?

I can think of three occasions where a film has made me cry, only two of which were at the cinema (those two were Gran Torino and Toy Story 3, the other film was the good, the bad and the ugly) and frankly I think it's the mark of an excellent film, especially considering they have only two to three hours to establish a scenario so saddening that were reduced to tears (then again Toy Story 3 was lucky because it had over ten years worth of nostalgia to work with).
