What Touches you?

[GSLeloo]

I was just wondering, what can make you feel like.. really touched? Like a sad scene in a movie or book, a letter? For example, watching the scene of pearl harbor where they're trying to rescue all the people after the Japanese attacks... it's just so sad and it made me upset and touched. So.. what does it for you?

[Jolena]

Depends on my condition..when I was pregnant I cried at movies, commercials, anything really.. however as a normal human being once more..I would have to say that I seem to cry at the same spot in movies I watch no matter how many times I see it. The scene in ET where Elliot thinks ET is dead, the scene in Pay it Forward where the townsfolk show up with candles for a vigil of her son, the scene in When a Man Loves a Woman where Meg Ryan does her AA speech about her husband, and the scene in City of Angels where Meg Ryan dies after Nicholas Cage finally becomes human to be with her.. just to name a few. I have seen all of those movies a dozen or more times and still cry, knowing that it's coming hehe. Go figure, I'm a wuss. *smirks*

[HarmNone]

Heh. I can get teary-eyed over almost anything. If there is the least bit of pathos in a situation, whether real or imagined, I will find it and bawl over it. My mother swears I am the only person she has ever known who would cry over a dented Volkswagen. :D

HarmNone, the teary one

[Souzy]

Hmmm...in that movie "Radio Flyer", where the mother's boyfriend beats her two sons and put's the youngest one (about 5 years old) in the hospital. Then after that, a couple weeks go by and she gets back with him. I cried because I felt bad for her sons. Then I was pissed off at the mom for being such an idiot for going back to that bastard! Sadly shit like that happens though, some people choose bastards over their children. Yeah that pissed me off and I wanted to reach in the screen and rip her fuckin' head off! Rawrrrr!!!!

LMAO!!!! Guess what? I cried in the movie "Casper" ROFLMAO!!!! Don't feel so bad now.

[HarmNone]

Hee, Lalana! It is good to know I am not alone!

HarmNone loves company :D

[Czeska]

There was a commercial years ago, McDonald's I believe, where a little girl left a card on the piano for her teacher. I cried. No clue why.
Radio Flier? Cried. ET? Cried. City of Angels? Screamed, yelled, cursed it out, and barely spoke for 3 days. GODS I hate that movie. I was beyond crying.

[GSLeloo]

Ok no laughing... I was in rather like a depressed mood and god knows why, I sat down to watch my Lion King DVD... and it was beyond crying, it was bawling through the scene where Mufasa dies.

[Jolena]

Man..that's not too bad Loo, I always cry in that Disney movie about the Gorilla that's Huge..I forget the name.. but anyhow he falls off a ferris wheel trying to save a child who is going to die, and everyone thinks he is dead.. even though I know that the Gorilla is not dead and will wake up..I cry anyhow.. sily me. Oh! it's called something "Joe" I think.

[GuildRat]

"Blackhawk Down" and actually knowing a couple of the guys that were in Somalia at the time.

[Xcalibur]

My son laughing
My son crying
My son being surprised about anything
My gf manipulating me:lol:

[HarmNone]

I will squawl over practically anything Disney. Blackhawk Down had me sobbing my heart out, and I knew nobody involved. I even bawled over 2001 A Space Odyssey. Do not ask me why. I have no idea. :D

HarmNone needs no reason

[GSLeloo]

Oh! Ok.. um.. there's this song called "Butteryfly kisses" and I was listening to it one day while driving and by the end of it I was nearly in tears.

[HarmNone]

Gah! Songs! Do not even get me started on songs!

HarmNone cries over songs, too

[SpunGirl]

OMG Lalana I cried at Casper too!

I also cried at the Little Mermaid in the end where she hugs her dad. I'm a total daddy's girl.

I've been a little nostalgic for home since I've only lived here five months (and this is the first time I've ever lived outside Flagstaff). So sometimes I get upset about missing home.

Any movie or book where animals get hurt or die cuts me deep. Kill all the people you want, leave the animals alone.

[Trinitis]

God, I bet old yeller killed you Spun..

~gawks~ I watched Old Yeller when I was home from school once... I wailed at the end and hugged my dog.

[SpunGirl]

I know what happens. I refuse to watch it.

[Myshel]

I think the most I ever cried in a movie was "My Girl" when the little boy died. My friend and I embarrassed our kids we were sobbing so hard. Steel Magnolia's and Terms of Endearment always gets to me too. But like Harmnone I've been known to cry in commercials.
OH... ever see the movie of the week with Ann Margaret, based on a true story of a woman who gave away all her children before she died of cancer. Ohmystars!
Songs? Bonnie Raitt's song about one more night before he leaves her, cry every time I hear it.
Myshel is crying just thinking about it. I get melancholy peeling onions!

[Caiylania]

Ever seen that stop-smoking commercial, where you see the grand-father kneeling and reaching for his grandson who is walking to him, and then the kid walks through him and the narrator talks about what you will miss if you don't quit?

Seeing that grand-father just fade away... :shivers:

Bawled. Still do.

[SpunGirl]

I cried reading The Green Mile, too. I remember being on the train home to Flagstaff from Spring Break in CA, sitting in a packed AmTrak car at 3am sniffling with tears running down my face.

The movie made me cry, too. There was also a movie I used to watch when I was a kid, called The Last Unicorn - my parents took it away because I would just WAIL at the end.

Me too. That song was so cheesy and sad. And the mom coming back as an angel to talk to the dad... coupled with the real boy thing.. too much.

[HarmNone]

Heh. This time of year there is always the mall if I feel like I need a good cry. All those adorable little kids waiting to see Santa, with their bright smiles and expectant little faces. I have embarrassed myself more than once. :rolleyes:

[SpunGirl]

Heh, that is proof that you see the good in everything, HarmNone. Mostly I see the screaming brats who are making a ruckus and I vow I will never have children.

Ack! That movie is so damned sad! Yet, I will watch it anytime I get the chance. Go figure. :)

My mother used to preview anything I was going to read before she would let me read it. She did not care about sexual situations. She was much more concerned about whether or not I would end up crying my eyes out for a week. :D

As a child, I was not allowed to watch anything about animals on TV. If an animal was to die, or get lost, or get hurt, or feel unloved and unwanted...well, you get the picture. :rolleyes:

HarmNone the sentimentalist

[Souzy]

LOL...Oh man I need to shoot myself, just thinking that I cried in Casper :lol: I also cried in that lifetime show, what was it called???? "She Cried for Help" I think that's the title, with Tiffany Amber Theissen or who ever. Wow...I remember I balled in that show and my mom walked in the livingroom and was like, "The hell is going on with you?" She looked at me like I was a total nut because my face was all swollen from crying too damn much.

HarmNone is part of the herd

[GSLeloo]

My parents don't know I cry at movies. If I see something is going to make me cry, I watch it alone in my room so no one can see. My dad would tease me if he saw.

[GSLeloo]

OMG! I nearly forgot... Titanic at the end where he does! And she's like "Jack? Jack?" I cried so hard even in the movie theatre which is the most public I've ever been crying.

[Souzy]

I think every girl cried in Titanic. I cried in the theater, felt dumb, turned around and saw like 1000000 females behind me doing the same thing, so I didn't feel so dumb after that. :D

[Skirmisher]

Alright alright...so I got misty in Titanic .
::hrmph::

[HarmNone]

Oh, yeah. Titanic had me bawling out loud, and I did not give a flying you-know-what who heard me. That ending was tragic. I am tearing up just thinking about it. The theme song will get to me, as well. I have been known to pull the car over to the side of the road if that song comes on the radio. Otherwise, I would probably have a wreck. :(

I have not seen that, Spun. However, I read a book about whales once (wish I could remember the name of it). It was about blue whales, and began with a male and female blue whale finding one another (not an easy task, as rare as they are) and producing a little one. Then, the mother got killed by whalers.

By the time my husband got home, I was hysterical and unable to explain to him what was wrong. He found the book on the floor at my feet and figured it out all by himself. Took me hours to be even close to coherant.

HarmNone can truly lose it over some things

[HarmNone]

Every night in my dreams
I see you. I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never go till we're one

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

There. I can get it over with in one fell swoop. ;)

I cried once over a particularly intense RP session. I felt like a huge lameass afterwards, but having my character go through those emotions was the same as reading a sad book or watching a sad movie. I felt terrible for her!

I am so feeling you there. I walked out of the theatre during the rape scene in The Generals Daughter - I was so disgusted. And in college I took a Sociology of Domestic Violence class (soc was my major) and got physically ill while reading the textbook. I actually threw up.

[Vixen]

I can't even begin to list all the things that make me cry. Although a lot of people would say I never do, it takes a lot to get me to show it.

But heres the tops
For crying: Steel Magnolias, altime best movie for crying AND for laughing
(And my favorite movie ever)
Any sappy part in a book thats touching.
Everytime my husband looks at me and says, Hey Beautiful.
Anything my best friend Sarah says pre-coffee in the morning, thats sure to make the best friends laugh and those unaware cry!! (Its a you had to have been there thing)

Songs make me cry like crazy, I wont even begin to go there... Yah.. I am a closet sap...

Kasia

[Vixen]

Oh wait I forgot.. that episode of 8 simple rules where they wrote out John Ritter by sayin his character died... yah... that was a tough one.. and I didnt even watch the show really until then.

[SpunGirl]

I cried at my best friend's wedding, and she cried at mine. We were each other's maids of honor. Aw!

-K

[GSLeloo]

I cried when we had to put my cat down and I had to tell my parents it was time to do it.

[Evelith]

Awww, I love to cry! Is that sick?

Alright, I sob hysterically everytime I hear Bambi go.."Mother....Mother?" Same thing with the Land Before Time. The Lion King does the same thing.

The Perfect Storm. Ugh. I sobbed SO HARD. Steel Magnolias. Lana Turner's version of 'An Imitation of Life'. If you haven't seen that movie, see it. It was banned from the movie theatres at the time it was released for being inappropriate..the movie was way ahead of it's time. Great movie.

Books: Where the Red Fern Grows. All you puppy lovers out there, MY GOD, will you cry. My mother had to take the book from me because I was making myself sick crying. Hee!

Songs: I have to go with Myshel.."I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt is just..wow. I saw her perform that accapella (however you spell it) at the Lillith Fair. It was amazing. Kimberly Locke did it wonderful justice on American Idol, too. There's a song called "Real Life" by Jeff Carson..kills me. (He's the same fella that sings Butterfly Kisses.) I also cried when Tim McGraw sang "She's My Kinda Rain" and I got to squeeze Jani's hand while we watched the man sing. hee! Or when we saw the BSB and they sang "I Want It That Way!"

I cried today because tomorrow will be the first time that I will not be with my family on Thanksgiving. Being all old and married now, we're 'splitting' the holidays between families so we don't have to do the family dash between houses. It just seems SO WRONG!

I get all happy when my charge Anna says "I love" to me. (It's how she says I love you.) Or when she just comes and sits in my lap and cuddles, or just gives me a kiss out of the blue..it's too cool.

Anything my husband does inspires some kind of emotion in me, heh. Granted, it's not always lovey, but I do feel alot around him! I love it when he stops what he's doing to look at me and say, "You're so beautiful." He so rocks.

Alright, I'm all done.

What touches me...

The movie Amilee.

The TV show Carnivale.

Those old football synopses of a teams trumphant season.

People with visable injury.

Old couples who hold hands.

Most music in one way or another.

Sex with a woman I am in love with.

Attentive pets.

Teamwork.

[GSLeloo]

There's two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl
I drop to my knees by her bed every night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And thank god for all of the joy in my life
Oh but most of all

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk beside the pony daddy it's my first ride
I know the cake looks funny daddy but I should try it"
Oh with all that I've done wrong I must've done something right
To deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night

Sweet 16 today, she's looking like her momma a little more every day
One part woman the other part girl
To perfume and makeup from ribbons and curls
Trying to wings out in a great big world
But I remember

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"You know how much I love you daddy but if you don't mind
I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time"
Oh with all that I've done wrong I must've done something right
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night

Oh precious time
Like the wind the years go by
Precious butterfly spread your wings and fly

She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Standing in the brideroom just staring at her
She asks me what I'm thinking and I said I'm not sure
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl
And she leaned over

And give me butterfly kisses with her momma there
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle daddy it's just about time
Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?
Daddy don't cry"
Oh with all that I've done wrong I must've done something right
To deserve her love every morning
And butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask god for more
And this is what love is
I know I have to let her go but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning
And butterfly kisses

[SpunGirl]

My Grandma and I were really super close. She died when I was 13, ten years ago, and I still can't go to her gravesite without crying. At my wedding I had her wedding portrait in a frame resting on the table with my guestbook (which was a Dutch Wish Tree in her memory). I miss her!

-K

[GSLeloo]

Actually thinking about my parents really touches me... Like when I see my dad and I can see how tired he is and how old he looks or how unhealthy my mom is cause of the cigarettes and it can send me to tears worrying I'm gonna lose them.

[Weedmage Princess]

I admit, I am a total sap. I cry over some songs, (Wind Beneath My Wings makes me cry, for example) over movies, even over books (Like I cried in the first Dragonlace series (I think) when Flint died..I also cried in Enchanter's End Game when that dude Polgara liked..I forget his name...was killed.)

I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve I guess..my co-worker's cat died last week, and he was telling me about how she died at the vets..they were getting ready to put her down cause I guess her tumor burst or something..and they weren't even getting a heartbeat...she was just struggling to breathe, taking shallow breaths..so they went go get the paper for him to sign, and he picked her up and was holding her, petting her and saying goodbye, she like, went into convulsions and died in his arms...I cried when he was telling me the story.

[Edited on 11-27-2003 by Weedmage Princess]

[Skirmisher]

I cry when I sing in church. It's the only time I feel a real connection to my church and to god and its a powerful feeling.

I also cry often when really singing in general as for me its an emotional thing and I put alot into it although mostly only in the safety of a choir or my car .

And for all you smart alecs who will say I cry because it sounds so bad just hush. I've always had a pretty darned good voice being in many choirs (even though I'm not very religious I love singing) and often have been the soloist so there. :P

[Betheny]

I touch me. I touch me alllll the time!

On a serious note, I find that when people listen to me discuss things that maybe don't matter to them, but matter to me, like my dad dying... when they listen to my stupid insanity about it and don't give advice but just listen, or hug me? That's the thing that gets me.

[GSLeloo]

I figured out another one, thank you Maimara... When you're really really upset but are trying to act like you're not and someone just says to you "it's alright" or they ask you if you're alright... I have no idea why but that question like breaks me and can make me cry so hard.

However, when my sister and I discovered this tree that we could climb into easily, I named it Teribithia. So everytime we wanted to play in it we would say "Let's go to Teribithia" or something. I'm lameo.

Aaannyway... nowadays I almost never cry. The last time I cried was when my grandmother died. (Two years ago today, in fact). Then again at her memorial service. She was creamated so there was no casket. I'm kinda glad though... her ashes are buried 2 states away, so I dont' have to visit her grave. I was very close to her and it would make me sad.

Beyond that, I don't cry, really. Not that I'll ever admit to anyway.

I cry becouse of all the old men and women who wear thier best uniforms with all the medals they have earned through fighting for our freedom.
I cry mostly becouse thier salute is the highest honour anyone can bestow to anyone.
Oh and I cry at the scene in Saving private Ryan where the woman is told 3 of her kids are dead and the part where the officer recites a letter of bereivement sent by Abe Lincoln.
I cried When Cashia said goodbye to me.
And I cry when I'm kicked in the crackers.

I carry this in my wallet. It makes me appreciate how fortunate I am to be stationed in the States. Whatever you think of politics, always give due respect to your veterans of foreign wars:

'Twas the night before Christmas,
He lived all alone,
In a one bedroom house made of
plaster and stone.
I had come down the chimney
with presents to give,
And to see just who
In this home did live.
I looked all about,
A strange sight I did see,
No tinsel, no presents,
Not even a tree.
No stocking by mantle,
Just boots filled with sand,
On the wall hung pictures
of far distant lands.
With medals and badges,
Awards of all kinds,
A sober thought
Came through my mind.
For this house was different,
It was dark and dreary,
I found the home of a soldier,
Once I could see clearly.
The soldier lay sleeping,
Silent, alone,
Curled up on the floor
In this one bedroom home.
The face was so gentle,
The room in such disorder,
Not how I pictured
A United States soldier.
Was this the hero
Of whom I have read?
Curled up on a poncho,
the floor for a bed?
I realized the families,
That I saw this night,
Owed their lives to these soldiers
Who were willing to fight.
Soon round the world,
The children would play,
And grownups would celebrate
A bright Christmas day.
They all enjoyed freedom
Each month of the year,
Because of the soldiers,
Like the one lying here.
I couldn't help wonder
How many lay alone,
On a cold Christmas eve
In a land far from home.

The very thought
Brought a tear to my eye,
I dropped to my knees
And started to cry.
The soldier awakened
And I heard a rough voice,
"Santa, dont cry,
This life is my choice;
I fight for freedom
I dont ask for more,
My life is my god,
My country, my corps. "
The soldier rolled over
And drifted to sleep,
I couldn't control it,
I continued to weep.
I kept watch for hours,
So silent and still
And we both shivered
From the cold night's chill.
I didn't want to leave
On that cold, dark night,
This guardian of honor
So willing to fight.
Then the soldier rolled over,
With a voice soft and pure,
Whispered "Carry on Santa,
Its Christmas Day, all is secure."
One look at my watch,
And I knew he was right.
"Merry Christmas my friend,
And to all a good night."

I carry a note my girlfriend gave me about a month after we met. Five years later when i read it,it still moves me to tears. I also like the movies that can stir that kind of emotion in me and purposely watch them as if they do they must be good.

[Hips]

I cry every time I see Phantom of the Opera. The end just... gets me.

[Overlord]

Quite sad that I have learned to be so emotionless when it comes to most things, guess its just they way i have grown the past 5 years. Im just ever so complacent with my life and in extreme turmoil to be honest, I suppose i am the worst thing that gets to me. Other than that i am made of granite. *sigh* It hurts it really does

Ranger D1 cries at the end of Bambi. :(

[Souzy]

LMAO Weedie. You know, I heard that Braveheart made alot of men cry. I've seen a couple cry. Any men out there willing to admit that they've cried in Braveheart?

[Evelith]

Oh, man..

The first time I watched Father of the Bride after Jeremy proposed.

Then dancing to "The Way You Look Tonight" with my Daddy at my wedding...

Sob, sob, sob.

(Heh, we danced to two songs..the song from Father of the Bride and Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Whee, go Orioles!)

Oh! Oh! Did any of ya'll ever watch Space: Above and Beyond? The last episode......I SOBBED!! When the two that survived just curled up on the bunks...ugh. Good stuff. I love that show.

Sar~

I thought the last episode of Babylon 5 was good, for what its worth.

[Silleck]

Here's more shit that touches me
Reading hearts in atlantis
Marissa (everything about her)
Seeing animals die
People that litter....pisses me off majorly

The closest it got for me was when his first wife's neck was slashed. That was fucked up.

[Betheny]

Braveheart still makes me cry. As does when Gandalf dies in LOTR1.

[Vixen]

I'd have to say She's my Kinda rain live was definitely a tear jerker.

Being moved to laughter... my wedding day. One disaster after the other. It just all added to the craziness and well.. I cant post here all of it without permission.. but lets just say... you had to laugh or else you'd go nuts.

But being moved the most ever. My grandmother pretty much raised me when I was little. my mom was around.. but worked a lot. And lately my grandmother has been very sick... I have issues with some of my family being particularly mean to me... and my grandmother is in the hospital.. hooked up to all these machines..
And she says to me... It doesnt matter what they think
You were mine from the day you were born.

I cried like a baby, and tear up everytime I think about it. I'll carrry those words around my heart till the day it stops beating.

(A very unusally sappy)

Vixen,

I hope everything goes well with your grandmother. There's nothing worse than having someone's health fail. My thoughts and good wishes are with you.

[Back]

Oh yeah, pulling a hair from my nostril usually makes me tear up like a little girl who lost a puppy.

[Latrinsorm]

There's a Christian Farewell Song (or something like that) they play at Catholic funerals that absolutely brutalizes me.

Seeing my dad cry was the worst experience of my life. You'd have to know my dad to know where I was at.

The scene in Terminator 3 where they show that damn farmhouse and the missiles going up.

Where the Red Fern Grows.

CCR - "Long As I Can See the Light"

The song in Jesus Christ Superstar (the movie) where its Jesus' solo in Gethsemane.

The Iron Giant made me cry until they magically brought him back to life where it made me cry from being so pissed off.

[Weedmage Princess]

Braveheart makes me cry too...so does the part where Gandalf died in LOTR..I cried over that part in the book as well.

Also..(I dont remember this, my mother tells this story whenever crying over a movie gets brought up) I apparently cried..loud and for a while..when ET was all white and stuff and going to die in the movie..before they saved him. She said the theater was totally quiet..then all of a sudden I turn to her and say (loud) Mommy..is ET going to die? I don't want ET to die, Mommy! Dont let ET die Mommy!! and cry...heh.

[peam]

Amazing Grace on pipes.

Children.

Dog snuggles.

[Bestatte]

If it's even remotely sappy, I cry. Wind Beneath my Wings does it too Weedie..and Cats in the Cradle, and 4+20 by Stephen Stills, and a whole lot of other songs. ET - forget it. I'm useless for an hour after that movie. McDonald's commercial where the old man and woman show up at the same time and the one ends up sharing a table with the other...

The original CocaCola commercial where hippies and politicians and black and white and puerto rican and asian and priests and paupers all hold hands and sing "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing"

Hallmark cards. Just pick one. I'll cry.

Watching the old folks in the senior complex behind my house walk hand-in-hand on the sidewalk.

Snuggling with hubby.
Having my cat crawl under the quilt and sleep on my feet.

The poem "When I am Old I will wear Purple."

[Dighn Darkbeam]

The scene in Terminator 3 where they show that damn farmhouse and the missiles going up. >>

This one nearly had me when I was at the Theaters with my friends. I had nightmares for the next couple of nights. Great scene.

[Zeyrin]

The movie moments that make me cry the hardest is when some chick is almost naked and someone like Jason or Freddie Kruger slices them up before they can get totally nekkid!!

You know to be quite honest I have shed a tear to that movie. Though with due cause
