I didn't cry. It was pretty moving, though. The excellent score helped a lot in this regard.

Didn't cry, it's been ages since I saw it though.

I guess I should mention that I'm not of the kind who cries often, last time I cried was the first time in years(I think?), and it was because my grandmother had died.

And no, I didn't cry at the end of Gladiator; although it is moving.


House of Sand and Fog had to be the most depressing movie of all time.  It was a moving picture but you just feel total despair at the end.

I'll admit it, I cried and I cry at just about anything sad.  At the end of Lord of the Rings when Aragon says, "My friends, you bow to no man," I turn into a little girl.  Oh, wellCry

good thing I've never been accused of being that LOL ....  I've been known to cry a few times...

I remember the first time I saw Steel Magnolias when Julia Roberts dies... I was sobbing away.. that was so tragic...

The only time I cried while watching a movie was because I was laughing so hard.

Of course only Monty Python can be that funny. It was Life of Brian Tongue

I have NEVER cried at a film... the film which brought me closest to this non-masculine state, was one which I've mentioned in here several times... The Bicycle Thieves... one of the most moving endings to a movie I have witnessed....

Yes. My leg went to sleep after watching what is a very long film. When I got up it was so painful...

I remember sheding a tear at the end of the film, for those 4€ I would never see again, and those 2 and a half hours of life I lost. Cry
