Do you cry at films?

I get tearful at movies......I even shed a tear in Mad Max II.......

There is nothing remotely silly or girly about connecting with the emotion of a film, or a film eliciting an emotional response in you either.

The film that probably effected me the most in recent memory is The Road.....I connected with the relationship between the Father and his Son and you invest your emotion in that connection......the book has the same effect although not so visceral.

I nearly cried at how awesome No Country for Old Men is, and the same with the end battle scene in Kick Ass.
 
I'm an emotional freight train when it comes to anything remotely sad..

Couldn't give you a list of films though as I can't remember any in particular. :o
 
Ive shed a tear or two at Green mile, up (for a kids film that caught me by complete surprise), saving private Ryan, Schindlers list.. To name a few.

Absolutely not.

A person must be an emotional minefield if they end up crying at a ridiculously well paid person pretending to die (or similar).

It's not as simple as that dude. One does not simply "cry at a person being paid to pretend to die". There are many factors which may trigger an emotional response.

What if it were a documentary with real deaths (eg. a 9/11 doc)? Would you cry then?

Just because someone can be emotionally affected by a work of fiction does not mean they are an "emotional minefield". A work of fiction having an emotional impact on a person can be a great thing and something which the author intended. And If I'm an "emotional minefield" for that then so be it. I'd rather be emotionally affected by fictional works than just sit there like a robot.

See I did not think the film was very well done, and felt no real connection by the end. On the other hand the book made me cry so much I found it hard to finish.

The OP is asking if people CRY at films, not feel sad watching them.

I've seen plenty of films that have made me feel sad, but I just personally think crying is an extreme response.
