Housepets!

I don't agree with whoever wrote that.



Also, I watched Hereafter a week ago or so. It made me cry in one part. But I've mentioned before, I cry easy.

It has talking animals! It has to be for kids!

That's what it said in a description that I read about it.

Then go somewhere else to learn about literature!
Animal Farm is fantastic- but certainly not a children's story.
And the movies are just laughable!

Animal Farm is awesome but I haven't seen the movies. Don't know If I want to really, they are bad right?

Toy Story 3. I grew up with Toy Story, so the third was just... terribly good.

You can watch them if you want a good laugh.
I don't cry a lot at movies because I often don't see sad movies... or movies for that matter. Investing two to three straight hours of my time to a story that starts and ends without interruption is foreign to me; with books or (serial) television, for example, you have that waiting period where you aren't reading, or the next episode has yet to come out. This suspense makes a story more interesting, I think, and it's easier to be invested in it because you've been faithfully following it for a while.

Great movie right there.

Also Bridge to Terabithia made me cry my eyes out the first time, cry a fair amount the second, and I had to work really hard not to cry for the third time in school today.
And The Boy in Striped Pajamas. That movie made me cry even more then BtT.

My word the ending was just abysmal in that movie.
I definitely cried on that one.

Well, I actually never cried because of a movie, I mean, a couple of tears but no crying.

1.- I don't remember the title of the movie, but the movie takes place in the Second World War, this German kid gets out of Germany because of the war, I think the kid is sent to Finland, his mother couldn't make it and stayed in Germany, the kid was living on a farm with a small family but the boy misses his mother so much that hi made a crappy boat and tried to get to Germany, he fails and gets rescued by some guards. I would tell the rest of the story but it's kind of long.
2.- "Karol" (The Pope)
3.-"All Dogs go To Heaven"
4.- Wall-E (I felt bad for him and I almost cried but I kind of got over it so all I got is a tear or two)

If you can't make a WWII movie sad, you're out of the business.

And I love Wall-e, but I don't think I really cried.

I can take them. But the movie is about the kid, the kid left Germany because the war was coming, his dad stayed in the German army and fought the war, bla bla bla. The point is that the movie was BASED in the times of WWII, not the war itself. The story was centered on the kid.

The Lion King made me cry just recently D:

That reminds me of the Disney movies that made me cry when i was child:

Hercules.
The Fox and the Hound.
The Beauty and the Beast.
Toy Story

Disney often does it ... but most of the movies that made me cry fit in the category of "I-can`t-belive-I-paid-good-money-for that-trash-and-there's-three-hours-of-my-dwindling-life-time-I'll-never-have-back !!! "

Frederick Wiseman's High School (1968) didn't make me cry per se, but it is a really disturbing and heartbreaking look at how the education system encourages conformity and authoritarianism.

I was thinking the other day about how these education curricula seem to subtly instill the idea that doing work just because it's work is some kind of virtue, and it's probably no coincidence that that would make people less likely to question things like working long hours for low pay.
And I realized it took me a while, and embarking on a career path where "homework" is physically impossible, just to figure out that efficiency isn't a sin.

...then I realized that carbon molecules are shiny, and how that actually explains so much about the greenhouse effect, and that went on into a whole other thing...

Last movie I cried on was Coco. I felt a cultural tie due to my own heritage. Also made me think of my late grandma. Before that, it was Tyler Perry’s Big Happy Family, for the same reason. No doubt it would still get me at the climax where their mother succumbs to her cancer, since that happened to my own family a few years ago.

Coco is a lovely, exquisite movie. Being a flinty old Yankee, it takes a special mix to get me to tear up. Coco could do it.

Have you guys ever heard of “Spirit of the Beehive”? It’s an Italian film about a little girl living in Fascist Italy who becomes obsessed with the original Frankenstein movie with Boris Karloff. It’s a hauntingly accurate portrayal of how kids will retreat into their imaginations in a scary, ever-changing world.

Transformers the movie (1986) The death of Optimus Prime.

Babylon 5 season 4 where Marcus gives his life to save Ivanova with the machine that transfers lifeforce. Final words? "I love you"

If we are going to television scenes in addition to movie scenes that made you cry, so far only ONE scene had me tear up. It was from a UK soap opera I watched and a character with terminal cancer decided to commit suicide by painkiller overdose. The end scene was a clock ticking which stopped to represent the character died. Don't know why but it really got to me.
