Tears of Joy

[TheJackel]

Braveheart???

No way. I tend to agree with Tank on that one.

Films can be moving, though. Wenders' Wings of Desire- I cried quite a bit when I saw that one.

Also theatre, Shakespeare being the prime culprit (at least for me). I have trouble reading Lear and not breaking down in tears- never mind watching it being performed. Ditto The Tempest, The Winters Tale...probably some others too.

I loved Braveheart!!!

As an actor, Shakespeare's my fave to do.  The St. Crispin's Day speech from Henry V, no matter how twisted the logic actually is, always makes me well up with pride.  And I'm not even English.

I cried in Lord of the Rings when Boromir died.  

[Thumpalumpacus]

I leaked when Steve McQueen died at the end of Sand Pebbles.

[Tom62]

I cried while watching  Opname - In for Treatment, a movie about which dealt with the cancer taboo in the later seventies.

When I read Shane I cried, I was 14 and my Mum came in to find out what was wrong (how embarrassing was that!).

[The Black Jester]

I cried in Lord of the Rings when Boromir died.  

I cried so many times during my many readings of LOTR.  Most often at the Charge of the Rohirrim.

No shit, that is a stirring passage.  And Eowyn's fight with the Nazgul.
