What is the weirdest thing that has ever made you cry? Doesn't have to be from a movie, just in general.

I'd have to say the Mary dream montage in Dumb and Dumber.

I ALMOST cried at the end of Suessical. But then I thought to myself, "Hey, what the hell am I crying for?"

I am really not the crying type at all..but Extreme Makeover: Home edition does it for me every time...hah...REALLY manipulative editing and music.

Finding Neverland.. and yeah, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition makes me cry, but that last episode... not so much.

My dad cried during "Sister Act." You know, the part where Whoopi Goldberg is pretending to pray before she whacks the two gangsters in the nuts? I looked over at my dad during that scene, and he was crying. I thought: WTF?

I, on the other hand, am a cold, cold person.

I cry during EVERYTHING. You know those commercials with the little boy standing on the side of the street and something about his brother not picking him up cause he was high? Totally made me bawl.

And then anything at all, cartoons, real ppl movies, anything that shows children being made fun of..it rips my heart out.

And movies of course...any kind of movie worth crying over. ex: Moulin Rouge, Titanic (like a baby for 2 hours with Titanic), Saving Private Ryan, The Patriot, stuff like that

But Titanic for sure every single time. It hits me so badly and I've seen it so many times...but I cry, and cry..and cry..

The movie One Hour Photo made me cry (and I didn't even like it)! My friends thought I was insane! I just kept thinking how lonely Robin Williams' character was...loneliness gets me every time.

Jam_man...I cried at the end of Seussical, and so did my two friends.

whimsical... i was histerical during One Hour Photo because of Robin Williams' character too... and i thought i was the only one, also The Little Princess remake, when she goes to her father and the father doesn't remember her... gets me every time

I cried during 13 Going on 30. Yes, you read right. During the scene where she travels back to her house and goes into the closet and cries and then her parents show up. Not only that, but my best friend who was with me cried, too. It was one of those "I'm going to look over at you to reassure myself that you're crying, too" things.

I love how I've cried at almost everything listed here.

Weirdest thing would have to be that Chase credit card commercial with Five for Fighting's "100 Years".

orangeskittles, I LOVE that commercial ,makes me cry too! And yeah I've cried at every movie mentioned so far...LOL i'm a crier.

One commercial that always got to me: It was from a few years back, and this woman is talking to her husband about how the schools don't have enough money to get new supplies for her classroom. Then the narrator explains that when you buy supplies from Wal-Mart, a percentage of the purchase goes directly to the school of your chopice. So it shows the woman in the check-out line at Wal-mart, and she looks over and sees her husband buying supplies too! So she gets all teary-eyed and mouthes, "thank you!" It ALWAYS got me bawling!

dork moment about to commence:

anytime I watch the movie "Dumbo" and see the "Baby Mine" number with Dumbo's mom in jail and she's only able to get to him through the prison bars with her trunk to touch and cradle him and then they start showing all the mothers with their babies in the zoo sleeping contentedly and Dumbo can't even see his mother....

dork moment will now cease...

friggin' "puff the magic dragon." damn peter, paul and mary for allowing jackie paper to grow up and leave ol' puff, the f***ers.

That movie Lilo & Stitch always does it for me.

[Yawper]

Posted: 8/15/05 at 8:41pm

a well done Porgy & Bess will do it

was an absolute basket case during my first viewing of Ponette

my alma mater winning big at the end of the football season/bowl games

having my city represent well or get praised at a national level (Detroit's been so browbeaten over the decades major events are often preceded by a week or two of "please don't let anything bad happen" prayers - it's hard to turn around negative perceptions, no matter how untrue)

i cried durring "faith rewarded" and alwsys from extreem home makeover. espcially the one with the 8 kids who had lost both their parents.

there is one episode of futerama that has me crying at the end... the one where fry wants to bring his dog back to life from a fosel and then doesn't because he thinks his dog forgot him, but then you see the dog thourgh the years and the song "i will wait for you" plays and then the dog just lies down and dies at the end when he's really old.

i saw philidelphia at school, and i cried, but the part that made me cry more was after he died when they showed clips form when he was little, growing up and stuff. that made the charecter real to me, showing that.

i teared up a little at the end of the "dead zone" episode where johnny had to help a boy with autism get his father (who was innocent) off of death row.

no I've neverbeen moved to tears by anything weird.
but what I did think was weird is how so many people admitted here that they cried when they saw the trailer for the rent movie.
i was like "wtf, are these people for real?"

Posted: 8/15/05 at 10:09pm
