I cried watching kids cartoon movie!!

I'd challenge anyone not to - the single most depressing film I've ever seen in my entire life. Studio Ghibli make some good stuff, but this is just a ballad of human misery.

then you totally misunderstood the film

i've cried at loads of films. i haven't seen UP but watched that clip and although i didn't cry, i did well up a bit because of the personal attachment i can put to it. the end of the butterfly effect is another, about schmidt, the pledge, my life, meet joe black are a few more that spring to mind
 
A bit lumpy in "UP" but unfortunately the rest of the movie was downhill from there.

Depends what mood I'm in or if tired etc. whether that sort of thing affects me. Also the music can play a huge part, for example in "Outlander" during the massacre of the Moorwens on their home planet, the music hits the sweet spot every time.

The other one that hit me by surprise was watching "Bagger Vance" off Sky HD when you realise that Will Smith's character is more than likely...

God

End Spoiler.

Guess I need to grow a pair too!

You're wrong, but I'm used to seeing that from you. I understood the film perfectly, I just didn't like it. I didn't say it was crap, just that I'm a big fan of Studio Ghibli but this is one film I don't feel inclined to watch again. What part of that made you think I'd missed something?
 
I must admit that i got very sad at the end of Toy Story 3, was born in 1992 and so watched Toy Story 1 and 2 as a kid, and now with 3 out i relised that it is now the end of my time as a kid and i share this with Andy in the film.
 
you describe it as a ballad of human misery

It is. Spoiler: The protagonist fails to save his sister despite his best efforts, then lets himself die due to a mixture of misery and starvation. It's one of the most miserable films I've seen. The phrase "ballad of human misery" fits.
 
A good cry will do you no harm.

Have cried in the past and will do again in the future.

why are they in that position?
 
It can happen to anyone with any film, you take what you are seeing and if it can apply to some part of your life it will.

In this case, you'd of had thoughts about your life with your wife and losing her and then put it on to the movie. Nothing sad or gay about it, just the way the brain works.

I find it hard with emotional father/son scenes due to issues with my own dad. Forrest Gump when he finds out he has a son and asks if he is ok mentally is one of them, as it is when Jenny dies.
 
why are they in that position?

Because their dad is serving in the navy and their mum gets killed in an incendiary attack. Good premise for an opening, really gets you in the mood.

Saying that, wasn't the opening scene a train station guard rifling through Seita's stuff while he was dying off to one side?

yes. the opening scene is perhaps the saddest of all
 
I cried at some parts in the green mile.

Also that bit in saving private ryan where the pussy soldier is just standing on the stair case with a gun sobbing whilst the guy upstairs gets stabbed by some german and he could have saved him, that really upset me.

Oh yeah and for some reason, the third time I watched the titanic it made me cry at the end.

only films I've cried on, some films made me sad but these are the only ones that made me shed a tear.
 
Yeah, cried at this. In fear. Watched it when I was 5 years old and it scared me witless - I had nightmares for months. I'm 24 now and I've not yet managed to sit through the entire movie again. Last time I tried I got to the big general rabbit and started shaking so much that my buddy thought I was having a fit.

Try watching The Plague Dogs, by the same people. That's a disturbing film, truly...
