It was such a relevant series. It hit everything spot on. ^^

Real men feel sadness, passion, anger, joy. Being afraid to show your feelings in public is cowardice. Not having feelings to show is apathy. Don't confuse these things. :)

Cloud Atlas. Sort of...

and that my friend is something to be proud of! - honest!


some great movies there - Never Ending Story, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. No one mentioned Cool Runnings?

I actually cant think of the last movie i cried at with a happy ending....

Yeah, I think the director Giuseppe Tornatore has quite a faible for pathos, but not necessarily in a bad way. I liked Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, too. I don't remember any movie with a happy ending that made me cry though ... Hm.


Who knows, maybe I'm a pathetically apathethic then. ;)

I was just kidding about the manly man and never cried part. I don't think I have other a scene in a movie though.

"Up" by Pixar made my cry in several places including the end.
My gf just looked at me in the end and called me a few choice names. We watched it together and while it moved me to tears it had no inpact on her what-so-ever.

Probably :P
To me it was the inverse, I was thrilled it was payback time.
Now...........Artax and The Swamp of Sadness is a totally different story *sob sob*

By the way, to name a few emotive endings, "Together", "The King of Masks", "The Road Home", "The Way Home", "You´ve Got Mail"....countless movies with animals including the documentary "Winged Migration", "The Lion King" :P

Foxfire. Not crying, just tearing up. I haven't "cried" in over 30 years. :-)

Angelina Joli coming of age movie right? That was actually pretty good.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape made me sad when I watched it.

I was quite small and my mum was quite big at the time, nothing like the mum in that movie but I still projected it on to her.

I thought it was a pretty good flick at the time...

You hadn't read the book yet, had you?

Basically, the entire movie consists of the producer and director showing the middle finger to the author of the original story, and the ending is one of many, many scenes in that film that perfectly symbolize that attitude. They explicitly said in interviews that they had to take Michael Ende's crerative, original story and "simplify" it, as well as "giving it an American wrapping", because they believed that any attempt to capture the original story's spirit would be too much for American audiences. So they didn't even try. They took one of the most original and thoughtful children's story of that decade and turned it into the usual vapid mush.

Regarding the original question: I rarely cry, but I regularly get wet eyes - usually only with happy scenes though, never with sad ones. Just happened last week when we were watching "Frozen". Which is, coincidentally, a good example of a movie that takes massive liberties and still succeeds. Because there, the goal was not "simplify everything to make palpable for a mass audience", but "tell a mature story that people can relate to", as in the relation between the two sisters.

Rarely.
The only time I recall crying in happiness to a movie's ending is when I watched Warrior (2011).

Very similar; I cried at the end of "Day of the Warrior". :D

The ending of Seven, when Kevin Spacey's greatest wish was finally fulfilled.

I don't even wanna know.

I still have not watched Seven, but I've seen the ending.
