Not me. Someone builds a sports stadium and some people come to play and to watch sports there? What's the big deal? I could understand him crying if nobody came

I watched Dead Man's Shoes for the first time tonight. Was alone which didn't help. Didn't cry but welled up/choked up at man's inhumanity to man.

I cry regularly at the best films. Sometimes because they're sad, sometimes because they make me so happy. It doesn't matter if I'm alone or not

I think the war film MORNING DEPARTURE has a nvery sad ending .

IMHO Paddy Considine is a fine talent, not only as an actor but as a writer as well.
Never seems to be up there with other film 'stars', which is maybe the way he prefers it.

I have seen Paddy in Doctor Sleep, 24 Hour Party People, Hot Fuzz, Stoned and Bourne Ultimatum and think he is a fine actor. He has all the necessary requirements for a big career as long he chooses the right roles.

It is indeed enough to make strong men weep that Susan Kohner should give up a perfectly good job as a librarian to become a nightclub singer.

I always cry when I watch Secrets and Lies.Also Cathy Come Home- it is terrible that things were like that in my lifetime.The way she was treated put me in mind of Victorian times.

The Elephant Man
Schindler's List
Dr Zhivago
Oh What A Lovely War
Saving Private Ryan
ET
Dumbo (when the little chap gets re-united with his mother)
The World At War (the final images of those massacred at Oradour-Sur-Glane:the finest tribute to those killed in World War II)

Cathy come home was too gut wrenching , too close to reality , not for me , found it stuck in the back of my mind for days.

The biggest actual weepy that I witnessed, on release, was the close of West Side Story with girls weeping all over the cinema. Love Story was another.

Of course not. It's about sports, and an American sport at that which I have no knowledge of or interest in.

Oh, I know there are other aspects to the story, but the sports aspect would bore me rigid
