I'm no pyschocollargist but many men just don't cry. Something to do with how we stomp those emotions out when we're young, usually to fit in with other dudes. Someday you'll probably cry, but I'm guessing it won't be because you played a certain video game or saw the right movie. Probably because your personality or something about your life changed, making you view things a bit differently.Silverback91 said:
this probably won't be a common answer and it takes a LOT of commitment but i found One Piece to be brilliant at this. Don't get me wrong, overall the show is incredibly up-beat but when it wants to it can easily bring you to your knees. Although it takes like 300 episodes to get to the sadder moments so like i said, lots of commitment, plus its a phenomenal series 
I cried at Les Miz. Just don't tell Bob that.
There is also Papo and YoYo, a criminally under looked game for the PS3 about the relations of a boy and his abusive father. THe boy loves his father, the father loves his son, but his father is an alcoholic.
Be warned: Camera angels and clipping are... interesting.

A few episodes of House; the one where Wilson's girlfriend is in the hospital, and the one where Kutner leaves the show. Literally nothing else fictional has made ever me cry.
can't guarantee anything because we would need to tap into some emotional roots of your past however never let me go is guaranteed to make anyone feel at least something http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1334260/
try not to read too much up on it or you might spoil it

Playing Half-life 2 to the end of episode 2 was the only thing that ever made me come close to crying. Absolutely brutal, but mostly because I wasn't expecting it...
there was an interesting peice of performance art where a women sat in a chair...people could sit oposite her and she would stare at them untill they criedfloppylobster said:
I dont see how it owuld work on everyone but pretty interesting
Maybe not sad in a traditional sense but some scenes from Saving Private Ryan can be quite emotionaly disturbing. The landing at Omaha beach is quite ambivalent in the sense that it's quite sad but also incredibly nauseating and disturbing.
It's really American though and that can turn a lot of people off...

I'm a big crybaby when it comes to films and games. Seriously Ill cry when HAPPY shit is going down. Anyhoo just randomly off the cuff, the end of Babe when he says "That'll do pig, that'll do!"
Being less tongue in cheek Grave of the Fireflies was crushing. I watched it once and haven't been able to watch it again. Its been gathering dust on my shelf since.

Some dude made an Android port but it's impossible to find anymore cos 4LS doesn't want anyone touching their baby, and I fully agree with 'emCapitano Segnaposto said:I want a portable version of Katawa Shoujo. I also want a sequel! It will never happen though
I don't care if it is a from a female perspective! I just love the stories and they can do so much in Yamako Academy. If they somehow DO make a sequel: Just don't have those useless sex scenes unless they are in it for comedy sake. Like the Shed scene XD
You talking about the "chocolate" one with Emi?
Hanako's H-scene was the only one that felt neccessary IMO; it was a beautiful deconstruction of the White Knight syndrome.
Man, I love Hanako's route so much...
KS really puts things into perspective...Capitano Segnaposto said:
Somehow Hanako's Good ending felt like a bad ending to me (her motivations for doing what she did) but that bit with the honey muffins was just incredible
May I just say as OP that when i said that Katawa Shoujo nearly got me to cry it was from Hanako's good ending? Seriously, i was looking for an option to have Hisao step in front of a bus for what i made him do....Capitano Segnaposto said:Please don't remind me of Hanako! I felt like such an ass after Hanako's scene. I wish I could have stopped myself, but I couldn't. I am so glad that I got the good ending though, I need to replay it and read a bit slower though. I felt like I kinda rushed the end T-TFFP2 said:Some dude made an Android port but it's impossible to find anymore cos 4LS doesn't want anyone touching their baby, and I fully agree with 'emCapitano Segnaposto said:I want a portable version of Katawa Shoujo.

And yes, I am talking about Emi and the Chocolate. It was hilarious XD
Do you have any idea if there will be more VN's following Katawa Shoujo's wake? Ones that combine the daily lives and routines, how to live with them in a sad, happy, hilarious, respectful way like KS did?
I want a sequel so badly >.<
Or at the very least I want 4LS to stay together and make another game. Last I heard though that they were all going their separate ways
Back OT, I saw that several people reccomended Grave of the Fireflies, but i dont think that will help anymore... I saw it once alone when i was 12, once when I was 14 with my family, and once with a friend at 17.... (Also, if you two liked Katawa Shoujo, have you seen AnoHana? That was the saddest happy ending ive ever seen....)
What's worse is that she is so much better off if you do Lily's route...Capitano Segnaposto said:Please don't remind me of Hanako! I felt like such an ass after Hanako's scene.

Did you see Cpl_Crud's epilogue for Hanako? It added a lot to her character for me. It's on his blog.
Apparently there's two VNs being made by fans that are "spiritual successors" to KS... And there's Katawa Crash if you wanna laugh your ass off
4LS said they might collabo again if they feel like it but it won't be a VN (they're sick of the genre after spending 5 years making one) and it won't happen anytime soon. I hope they do; KS's story was on par with TWD for me
A lot of people here have mentioned Grave of the Fireflies--and yeah, that will make the overwhelming
majority of people cry. But there's a film in a similar vein--Who's Left Behind--that, well let me just
tell you. I watched this in an anime club. Of the 15 or so people in attendance, all but one had seen
Grave of the Fireflies previously. All those who had seen Grave of the Fireflies agreed that Who's Left
Behind was *much* more tear inducing.
So try Grave of the Fireflies first, and if that doesn't manage it, try to find a subtitled copy of
Who's Left Behind.
There is BTW, a live-action version of Grave of the Fireflies that is less tear inducing, but explains
some of the circumstances and events better.

Clannad: After Story is pretty sad. Clannad, isn't as much, but it's worth it to watch after story.
Firstly, why on Earth was the one guy suspended for recommending a movie? His post was on the short side I guess but at least it was two sentences. His post history is all posts of around this length but at least he was communicating his ideas rather than just putting one word down... I bet he doesn't come back, 5 posts in an he's already suspended for something that's really in the grey area. He's probably wondering what the fuck he did.
OT:I always cry during one specific scene in Shawshank Redemption. Anyone who's seen the movie probably knows the part I'm talking about. I also cry at the end for some reason. I don't know why.
Read the series A Song of Ice and Fire. I know I cried a few times during that. Especially during
