I cried the first time i watched both

The Elephant Man and The Straight Story

I don't cry at most any film. However, I get emotionally moved by certain movies like Goodwill Hunting, or The 6th Sense, and even Shawshank Redemption. Once I've seen something multiple times I'm obviously not as highly moved by it since I already experienced it. I can't think of when I may have cried at an actual film but I may have at some point.

I always tear up during A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim during "forgive me Fan.....forgive me Fan..."

Also during Bicycle Thieves when the son reacts to Dad trying to...er....steal a bike.

Films like Avatar make me cry for entirely different reasons.

I cry for like 70% of X-Files episodes, half of Firefly, and the whole last season of Dollhouse.

I just cry. frequently.

A.I.- Artificial Intelligence. I always cry during last few minutes, so sad. Hell I'm tearing up just thinking about it. And not because it's Spielberg channeling Kubrick.

I'm pretty sure we had a thread like this already, in which I said I get choked up at the end of Blue Velvet.

oh fuck yeah, cried at the end of that one myself. Man, you just GOTTA check out jon jost's films!!! THE BED YOU SLEEP IN is on amazon.com for like a dollar or something. It's VERY Straight story like. I can't say it enough.

Anyway...



Parts of this masterpiece tear me up as well.
