I just bring a box of tissues with me
Mostly to pass out to the others crying around my seat

Good Morning Vietnam the first time I watched it, got very sad towards the end in '87 when I was 13 years old.
I absolutely LOVED that movie when I saw it
I loved Robin Williams and I hated that the Academy shunned him until Good Will Hunting, one of his weakest entries for an Oscar
 
End of Field of Dreams every time.
My son had 3 open heart surgeries when he was one. I had over 100 clots in my right leg in 2009. So we've both been through a little bit. So playing catch is always a great thing with him.

We actually went two years ago to Dyersville and had a catch. Have a great video of him walking out of the corn, cracking open a Bud and downing it.
 
Field of Dreams. "Hey Dad, Wanna Have a Catch"?

Gets me every time. This is probably the case for three reasons. First, it's just simply awesome that the entire premise of a movie was to rekindle the bond between two good guys over something simple as catch. Second, I loved baseball more than anything in this world until I was ~25 or so. Third, while I don't have a terrible relationship at all with my Dad, we don't have a very close relationship since he and my mom divorced like twenty years ago. As such, my favorite memories of him are when I was a kid (probably 10-12 or so) and obsessed with baseball and he would either pitch to or play catch with me until his arm was sore.

All the time. My wife and kids do the over/under of how long before I start crying.

Back in the day when they had holiday Hallmark movies, the Hallmark commercials wrecked me!

I’ve cry every time I watch the Secretariat movie.

I teared up in Elf!
 
Barely cried for years - once the kids came that changed big time.

When my kids were little we Disney movies like Up together and I had full waterworks 5 minutes in - Cant even try to watch Toy Story 3 with Andy leaving for college with them

Now that Im older I cry in movies all the time but not necessarily from the movie - the last Guardians of the Galaxy really hit me - it def had sad moments but it was more that I remember watching the original for the 1st time with my young kids as our favorite movie and now we watched it with 2 of them packing for college....end of an era.....im pretty much a mess all the time now lol
 
Ever? I probably cried in the theater during SW A new hope. I mean I was 1 at the time and fairly cranky.
 
Yes. Most recently it was during the animal lab scenes during GOTG3 which we watched after losing both of our dogs within a month of each other.

That scene is up there for me as well. Not like have a catch, but they did a great job showing just how happy Rudy made his family simply by being in on a couple of plays after the previous family scenes.
 
Absolutely. I’m not sure I quite believe anybody that answers “no” to this question. I’ve certainly had tears in my eyes as an adult watching movies before, but I also sure as heck have had them as a child. The question states “ever”. The people answering “no” are claiming that they’ve never cried during a movie—even as a child? That just doesn’t seem probable at all.

For some reason it always gets dusty in the room in Rudy when all the players are turning in their jerseys so he could have their spot. Not sure why it gets me but always does. Team comradery and sacrifice or some crap like that probably.

That's exactly how I'll feel when all the green pill people start nodding off.

This. What the heck is going on here? Is it just a matter of developing greater empathy with years of life experience?

The first movie I ever remember shedding a tear for was The Pride of Jesse Hallam, an early 80's made for TV movie starring Johnny Cash as an illiterate coal miner trying to survive the big city (Cincinnati). For whatever reason, his struggle struck a chord with me, and in hindsight, I imagine it was one of the experiences that led me down the path of education as a calling. Historically, it was a pretty rare occurrence for a movie to move me to the point of tears, but in the last 5 years or so, I find myself in dusty rooms much more frequently.
 
About Time is an underrated gem of a movie.

It loses some context just watching the clip (and possible spoilers) but I defy someone to not get misty eyed watching this scene. Especially with this gang (father-son dynamic like Field of Dreams)
