Grown men crying during kids movies (1 Viewer)

[(HULK)]

Brooks was here.

Yup.

Dammit...

When Freeman sees it. It didn't get me but got me on the path. Then the letter. And then the whole I hope speech while on the bus finally got me to crack. Great movie.

Forget the debate about crying, it was just a fantastic movie. I don't think I cried, though. I was worried more than anything.

An unhealthy amount of soulless psychos in this place...

"God is a joke, Kate Upton is not doable, Up was not a tearjerker."

What is wrong with you "people"?

I can't remember ever crying during a kids movie. Only movie I remember crying was the end of Life is Beautiful. Maybe there are a few others, but not many. My heart is a big ball of ice.

I'm an atheist and Up didn't get me, but I'd cut off parts of my body to spend an evening fornicating with Kate.

Emotional responses are triggered differently for different people. The guy crying at the Lego movie, no one knows what the scene reminded him of. Any father who has moved his child into the dorms for his/her first day of college might view Toy Story 3 differently than a man who doesn't have children.

I saw Lord of the Rings (part 1) with my son and there was a man down in front of us, sitting alone, and I noticed he was crying. I never read the books, but I can see how it might effect someone who saw his favorite childhood book come to life on the screen. Doesn't mean he was less of a man. Maybe he read the book to his son, who recently died of cancer. Who can know? We shouldn't judge.

Several people have recently referenced crying during the Lego movie, Up, Finding Nemo, and various other children's movies.

I haven't cried in a movie since the very end of Shawshank got me, and that was forever ago. In fact, that was the last time I shed a tear for any reason whatsoever.

Am I a soul less robot? Or is everyone else a bunch of Nancies? Or a little of both?

Big test: have you had a pet dog put to sleep in that time?

If you have and didn't cry, that's all the confirmation I need that you're a robot.

As I said in that thread, the beginning of Up and the end of Toy Story 3 get me teary every time. Nemo didn't do it to me (sad part happened too quickly), and neither did Lego (seemed more happy than sad).

I've even cried from a book - Where the Red Fern Grows (see question above).

Oh crap, I was thinking that I wasn't even close to getting teary during Shawshank, but I just remembered it got really dusty after Brooks was let out.

True

 

[coyote5]

Are you surprised at my tears sir?

Strong men also cry...strong men also cry.

 

[Emerson Biggens]

Several of the Pixar movies could get you, especially parents.

But, I challenge anyone to watch the Richard Gere movie "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" without tearing up. It's a great, great movie, but good lord it's tough. Dog movies always have gotten me.

 

[Tecumseh]

Another vote for Up and Monsters Inc. I think there are 2-3 times where I tear up during Up, and then at the end of Monster's Inc, when you hear Boo say "Kitty!", it gets me every time.

 

[jamny]

I'm gonna have to take the "Up" challenge. Never saw it.

 

[Chaka]

I tear up for sports movies but not cartoons.

I too love Brian Piccolo.

It also got a tad dusty for me when Julius visited Bertier in the hospital.

Cartoons not so much but I can't imagine not getting a little dusty the first time watching the beginning of Up.

I cry at movies all of the time. They don't even have to be sad. Something about movies, TV, sad commercials, sporting events, the National Anthem playing..... Not sure what it is.

And I'm not ashamed of it. I don't try to hide it at all.

[B-Deep]

Jesus wept.

if it is good enough for the big guy, it is good enough for me

 

[(HULK)]

Jesus wept.

if it is good enough for the big guy, it is good enough for me

Did Jesus weep when Lightning McQueen went back to push the King across the finish line though?

naaa, jesus kinda thought that was a ##### move

he did cry when that old lady left her pet fox out in the woods to die in The Fox and the Hound though

 

[B-Deep]

i choked up at toy story three, and if UP doesn't make you a little misty you are probably a little bit dead inside

 

[B-Deep]

As far as general movies, ####### My girl with that damn funeral made me cry my eyes out

and although it is an older movie, i cry just thinking about Charly (flowers for algernon)

 

[E Street Brat]

Ive never seen most of these kid movies being discussed in here. I do remember John Q getting to me the first time I seen it,

 

[NCCommish]

"Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot?"

 

[jhib]

Another adult movie that I remember getting me was In America.

I cried every time the sisters tried to rape Andy.

 

[Insein]

Toy Story damn near got me a few years back.

toy story three, guilty here, not the very end like many but the garbage fire did it.

Same. I was like "Holy #### are they really going here." That was a pretty intense scene.

 

[jamny]

I haven't seen any of the Toy Story movies.

Are they all good?

The start of Up got me and oddly enough Jessie's song in Toy Story 2 (When She Loved Me) really choked me up also.

Hey, I don't care what people think....it is what it is.

You have to be pretty dead inside to not get emotional over that scene.

OK, never saw the movie and it's a sad scene and all at the end, but actually crying because of it?

Really?

 

[cstu]

Saving Mr. Banks got me.

It really loses something seeing it out of context and without the scene before it where they meet as kids.

 

[jon_mx]

Kids movies I teared up on....Mulan, Parent Trap, and Up.

 

[Vike Me]

This part got me just as much as the kid going to college letting go of his toys/friends.

I guess.

I don't know. I just can't imagine crying during a cartoon.

"Hey Dad? You want to have a catch?"

I full out blubber at that scene...was coming here to post that.

The other line that gets me...

"Wake up Champ.....wake up"

 

[KarmaPolice]

Not a kid's movie, but I was sobbing watching the documentary Dear Zachary. After turning it off, I went in and curled up next to my toddler in his room and slept in there that night.

 

[JuniorNB]

Marley and Me

The beginning of Up is absolutely soul crushing.

 

[packersfan]

Bruce Willis is a ghost.

That would explain why the last two Die Hard movies sucked.

I too love Brian Piccolo.

I refuse to believe you're human if you don't tear up during Sayers' speech in the locker room in Brian's Song.

Miracle gets me everytime when it winds down to the win. Can't explain it. I know what happened. I know its coming but I still tear up like we just won again.

Just watching the game gets me. Not much of a crier, either.

Brian's Song, Up, and Miracle on Ice are all good mentions. The Dad scene in Field of Dreams didn't do it. The story of Moonlight Graham and Shoeless Joe were closer, actually. Strange.

 

[JuniorNB]

There's a great movie about Penn State Heisman Trophy winner John Cappeletti called "Something for Joey" that is a real tear jerker. It's about his little brother, who has Muscular Dystrophy (or Cystic Fibrosis, not sure which).

For me, it's the damn music. When there is an emotional scene and they come in with the dramatic music, I well up every damn time.

This is true. Sometimes if I can feel it coming on, I'll start to sing a song in my head to counteract the dramatic music. My go to song is Yakity Yak.
