I just noticed..........

[bell110]

I cried when the horse drowned in the swamp of sadness in Neverending Story when I was little.

And of course in I Am Legend, I was fighting back the tears. You would have to be an automotron not to tear up at that.

Then tell moviefan to keep his religious commentary out of the thread and I'd have no problem at all.

How would you feel if people told you to keep your anti-religious comments off the board? Would you be able to make a coherent post, without mentioning your disdain towards faith?

And yes, before you ask, I can and have made posts without mentioning Christianity. However, my faith is so integral to who I am, that many of my sentiments are influenced by it. Can you say the same about your apparent hatred?

Now I remember the last time I cried of laughter. It happened while watching Stardust... the scene where Captain Shakespeare was dancing around in his pink tutu!

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

It was just his reason behind his emotions that the movie stimulated. Just like I said the music was one of the reasons why I almost cried during Elephant Man. It was completely relevant to the thread. Your complaining and belittling it wasn't. It was a religious movie, those tend to stimulate feelings regarding religion. Your opinion on what he believes was what wasn't needed.

It seems like you're completely ignoring my point, because you don't want it to be true.

I maintain, that, okay, music might make someone cry during a movie, great, relevant.
BUT, if someone said, "I always cry during Beverly Hills Cop......"

Someone else would go "WHAT?!.........WHY?! "
And then, if the first guy said, "Well, just that one part, when they play "Neutron Dance" by the Pointer Sisters.......it's such a sad song."

Then someone else would go, "WHA?!? What is SAD about THAT song?! Are you insane."



And I maintain that you'd have no problem with them stopping to comment on how insane it sounds...the thing that makes them cry.

But, it's "ME", and it's "RELIGION", so suddenly (as you also completely ignored), you can't just ignore what I'm saying if you don't like it, you have to try to silence me.

It's gross.

What I find odd is that someone who's apparently a fan of cinema is such a hardcore Christian. Not to knock your faith, but what kinds of movies do you enjoy?

That's exactly what's happening right now.
I don't WANT you to keep your beliefs out of it.
I was trying to say, LET moviefan drag religion into everything, as he always does.
FREEDOM of speech is AWESOME, not shameful.
BUT, then you have to let me drag my anti-religion in also, otherwise it's unfair.

Would you be able to make a coherent post, without mentioning your disdain towards faith?

That's a ******ed question. It's plainly evident that I do it all the time.

And yes, before you ask, I can and have made posts without mentioning Christianity. However, my faith is so integral to who I am, that many of my sentiments are influenced by it. Can you say the same about your apparent hatred?

YES, exactly. You seem to understand me better than Jerry!
I'm the Anti-You.

Most comic-book films are on my list ("Constantine", "Blade", "Ghost Rider", and "Elektra" being notable exceptions). Some of my other faves include memorable Disney films like the first "Beauty and the Beast" or "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". I also enjoy many action and scifi films, plus comedies that don't rely on blatant or explicit sexual content. I'm not into horror anymore (gave it up years ago), and I loved the new "National Treasure" film. Other faves include "Back to the Future", the 2004 "Phantom of the Opera", and "Field of Dreams".

Doesn't your faith conflict pretty heavily with a lot of the movies on your list?

Not really. If this were a religious debate thread, I wouldn't care. He simply gave the reason of why he cried during the movie. Thats all I saw it as and thats all it should be seen as. Nothing more. You wouldn't catch me crying on Lion King or Armageddon or pretty much any movie mentioned here, but I understand people react differently than me to those movies. But I'm not going to question and belittle their reasons for it like you have, because it just isn't needed. If it was offensive, then report it to a mod, but nothing about his post was. It's just what he believes. It may sound strange or weird or dumb or whatever to you his reasoning for it, but this isn't the place to question what a person believes or what they feel.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Can't ask that.
You can only list which movies have made you, personally cry, or state that movies never make you cry.
Get in line, Comrade!

When did Bale play Jesus?

Then why don't you take your own advice and ignore posts you don't like instead of commenting on them, taking the thread way off topic?

Well that took entirely longer than I thought it would.

Take that type of interrogation to PMs, matey!

Anyway, on topic...I used to cry during movies when I was a drunk.
Now that I'm sober, never, ever...I got a tad misty-eyed when Will Smith had to

Spoiler

kill Samantha the Dog

in "I Am Legend"....but only a few molecules of moisture appeared in my eyes.


Drunk, I cried at the end swing of Spider-Man and when Darth Vader threw the Emperor down the shaft in ROTJ (as I've said a million times)...I cried at the end of Schindler's List....completely, "seeing-double"-wasted, I cried at the end of Titanic, not for Leo D.Caprio, but when the musicians decided to play one last song, 'cause I could imagine doing that.

sO emOtional!! *sOb*

 

[Danalys]

[LeChuck]

I cried during Shawshank Redemption, Oldboy, ET, Spirited Away, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, the godfather and I cried the first time I saw "Walkabout" on Lost cause it was so beautiful and awesome and that was my favorite show after that.
Yeah, I'm sure there's more but those are the only ones that come to mind right now.

 

[EdRyder]

Death of Optimus

I want to turn black and white when I die

 

[Super Kal]

I cried watching Pearl Harbor

 

[Steve Rogers]

I remember balling my eyes out when I was 12 when Reggie Lewis collapsed and the Celtics went on to loose to Charlotte in the Play Offs. No, seriously.

It's alright to cry. Crying gets the sad out of you.

It's alright to cry. It might make you feel better.

Wow Wil.

I cried at the end of Schindler's List. I just couldn't stop.

Also at the end of "The Pursuit of Happyness" when Will Smith's character found out he was hired and he was trying to keep for crying, I found myself trying to do the same. When he left the office building and walked down the street crying and and clapping his hands I also began crying.
