I cry at about anything. I cried so hard at Beaches I had to leave the theatre. The most embarrassing round of tears at a movie was at Jurassic Park.

I cry at everything - even happy stuff like gameshows. It's ridiculous. Beaches was awsome - I cry evertime as well. But I think I cried the most at an old movie with Kevin Costner called A Perfect World. When they shot him at the end I lost it. I was still crying in the car on my way home, LOL>

I think all genocide/war films are quite traumatizing. I rather like sad films, I sort of feel like happy endings are contrived haha. All these films are pretty sad and may occasionally become a little dense.

I think everyone should watch all of these at least once :}

I hated Armageddon. I thought it was cliche and unoriginal. And I still bawled like a baby at the end.

Then again, I cried at the end of Beauty and the Beast.

The movie that I remember completely breaking my heart was Untamed Heart. It's a beautiful movie.

Oh, also Hachi. GAH, that movie made me BALL MY EYES OUT.

Haachi: a dogs tale. if you can watch that entire film without crying all the way through it you are officially heartless

I daren't watch this one...I know it will break my heart, I couldn't even manage the IMDB description without crying :laugh:

I do not cry easily and i have never cried so hard as i did at this damned movie. I thought it would be a nice family film to watch while my dad was visiting. My daughter and i spent the last 30 minutes of the movie with tears running down our faces and the last 5 minutes flat out sobbing. Even my dad and husband were wiping their eyes at the end. It was awful.
