Poll: Crying at movies? Acceptable?

[Beryl77]

The only movie I've ever cried at (and sometimes still do) is Titanic, everytime DiCaprio dies. I don't know why it's that particular scene because there are a lot of sad scenes in movies but always only have tears in my eyes when I see that scene.

It is only acceptable for a man to cry at a movie when the main character get hit in the beanbag or when he runs our of whiskey........or if he gets hit in the beanbag with his own empty whiskey bottle.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

It's not wrong for anyone to cry at movies. I mean, I will make fun of you, but that doesn't mean I think it's wrong.
I don't do it personally, seeing as I don't really cry at all, but if other people want to turn on the waterworks, whatever.

If you didn't cry at the end of Toy Story 3 you have no soul.

Souls are for bitches anyway.
What up yo.

 

[bz316]

Crying is only acceptable if the film is "Schindler's List"

 

[Outright Villainy]

Sure. Crying is acceptable, why not do it when it needs to be done? I cried at the end of Toy Story 3, right in that theatre.

As did I. People who don't cry during toy story aren't human!

Oh, and I also did in Up. Several times in up actually.

Oh, and lately I watched Grave of the Fireflies.
God damn...

It is only acceptable to cry during one scene in movie history.

 

[ZombieT-Bag]

It's acceptable if you're gf is makin you see Twilight for the 5th time

 

[PayneTrayne]

There's a poem I can't be assed to find and it ends with something along the lines of "Of all these years that I have been, I wish I had cried more with my family, and less at the screen". Keep in mind I'm paraphrasing, but it's okay to cry at movies BUT you should also be having emotions in real life. Sorry if you found this pointless.

 

[ZeeClone]

anyone who watched toy story 3 and didn't cry has never loved.

Specific to topic - Yes. It's OK to cry at movies.

 

[Femaref]

Well, I've not been to movies that often (actually just two times), but billy elliot got me. I saw it in London when I was over there... at first I didn't really bother but in one scene it totally grabbed me.

 

[Mekado]

It's fine, aren't we past that men=big&strong women=weak&emotionnal crap yet ?

Last movie that made me cry was City of angels though, a long long time ago...

 

[Trucken]

Of course.
I always cry during Click and Bicentennial Man.

Oh God damn it, Click. I did NOT expect that movie to make me cry, but it did.

OT: Sure people can cry at the movies. I usually don't, but it's because I watch those kind of movies at home.

 

[Blunderman]

Crying is never bad, regardless of the situation.

 

[Calico93]

I nearly cried at Toy Story 3 and Up

Cant remember others
If a film can emotionally grab you and your immersed into that world/story theres no reason why anybody shouldnt cry when a good/bad thing happens. Hell ive nearly cried at books !
Crying is good, anyone who thinks its "wimpy" or "gay" should piss off and go wrestle a wall or some other such shit.

 

[kotorfan04]

If you didn't cry at the end of Toy Story 3 you have no soul.

Yep pretty much this. If you don't cry when you watch that movie your soul is no longer with you.

 

[Geekosaurus]

I've never cried at any film or television programme; maybe that's because I'm a cold hearted bastard. I'd say it's socially acceptable for women to cry at it but not for men. Don't blame me though - blame society.

 

[cainx10a]

I just think it would be pretty funny if someone did, but that might actually ruin the chance of me crying. But it would be funny nonetheless.

 

[Baby Tea]

Crying is only acceptable if the film is "Schindler's List"

I don't support the 'only' qualifier of that statement, but Schindler's List makes me cry everytime.
I can hold it right until the end...

Spoiler

...but when he's pointing out all that he could have sold to save more and more people...what an incredible transformation from a man who wanted everything, to a man who couldn't give enough away. It breaks my heart every single time.

Also, 'Up' makes me tear up within the first 20 minutes.

So, yeah. I totally cry during movies.
One movie in particular I've only seen once, but it really hit me hard for some reason: Two Brothers.
It was a Korean film, and I wish I could find the DVD.
If you see it and have a brother (And love your brother), watch that freakin' film.
Totally made me cry like a baby.

EDIT: My bad! It was 'The Brotherhood of War'! That was the Korean film!

 

[CoDzombieDude]

What about Saving Private Ryan, or was that just me?

But yeah I think it's perfectly acceptable to cry as long as you do it with some tolerance

But yeah I found myself crying at 2 points I think in Toy Story 3, and even with Scrubs (I know it's a tv show ;P) but the ending of the 8th series got me a bit

I don't cry at films. But sometimes my eyes get sweaty from the visual workout.
