Do you cry at films?

I read CAD, but I just take it for what it is... a guy doing a free comic on the internet.

I think those who were up in arms about the miscarriage were utterly hilarious, some of the bile aimed at it on my Facebook at the time was pretty shameful, simply because so many people just missed the point totally.

To tell the truth, I was pretty shocked at the time, but I find it funny in hindsight. Penny arcade is much funnier, when it's not being too pretentious... which is rare. VG Catz had some great humour but the writer suffers from severe writer's block.

Zero punctuation however is the funniest thing video games related on the internet, probably because he's funny before video games come into the picture :D
 
ZP is good, I enjoy watching those.

Still one of the best i've read is (was) Flintlocke's adventures, the bit where they're all hiding in a dead mount made me laugh so much I managed to cough and splutter until it hurt. :(

Two really good web-comics are Kid Radd (starts out silly then ridiculously goes into a ridiculous epic adventure quest) and my personal favourite Squidi's A Modest Destiny (this has excellent humour, it's written by the same guy who did the dialogue for Death Spank... although I've not played that game, it's supposed to be good).

Squidi is more renowned for his tiff with Penny Arcade than for anything else, but AMD is brilliant silly fun - peaked with the start of the Lord Fluffy segment IMO.

What makes you cry in American History X? just the ending?.... or the shower scene?

The ending mainly, but the scene where he has a shower(when hes no longer in prison) and it flashes back to him and his little brother playing on the beach really got to me once, I don't know why.
 
Maximus' death at the end of Gladiator left me with a lump in my throat, as did Col. Hal Moore's (played by Mel Gibson) guilt at the deaths of so many of his men during the battle of LS Xray in We Were Soldiers.

What did make me properly breakdown though was that Panorama documentary on Dignitas, where that rather kindly old bloke says goodbye to his wife, before poisoning himself and dying on camera. It churned over so many memories and so much raw emotion from my own Dad's death that I was left sobbing so hard I could hardly breathe.

You mean this - forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=21301413&postcount=29?

That almost got me as well. Just about the only thing that ever has.
 
Futurama.

That episode about Fry ressurecting a old dog (Sparky/Snowy I think) that he used to see every day, we get a flashback of when Fry is no longer around when he goes to the future and the dog is waiting for him every day. Until he dies. And some terribly sad music plays.

Its getting to me just typing this. Sorry its not a film but its one of the only things thats ever "got" to me.

Seymour was the dogs name, thanks youtube.

Ending of LOST was pretty emotional for me. On a slightly similar note though, seeing my parents upset really gets me upset too. Dunno why. /manup.
 
The documentary on worlds toughest jobs and the indian binman nearly got me the other week. Just to see how genuinely happy someone can be with so little.
 
I remember crying watching Kes when I was little...
when he picks his kestrel out of the bin after his brother killed it.
:(:(
