Personally, I came from a dysfunctional family, so the family type movies don't really get to me. It seems that the movies that usually make me tear up usually involve romance or dogs.. lol. Kudos to you for being man enough to admit that you feel emotions. @ Ian That scene in Crash was definitely a tear jerker. I don't think I cried when I saw that, but it did touch me. And it is definitely therapeutic to be able to shed tears. You should research the benefits of crying, because many people believe that it can relieve stress and even get rid of toxins. If you're willing to let yourself go emotionally like that but are unable to, then it would be a good thing to try to find out what's blocking you from doing so. And kudos to you for being man enough to admit that you feel emotions. @ Sire

It's not that I consider it unmanly, or anything like that, just that I rarely cry. Only one movie got an actual tear out of me, though I often feel all churned up inside by a movie. 'You cry inside' as my wife puts it. It's as though some strange force takes over and I find I'm telling myself 'You really should be crying now ... it's really emotional'. And the moment I tell myself that I'm up in my head and no tears. I think I may need a therapist! btw ... the one movie ... 'Crash' where the little girl runs out to save her father from the guy with the gun because she's wearing a 'magic' jacket that protects you from bullets ... I'm getting all emotional just writing it. .-= Ian Peatey´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.quantumlearning.pl/we-think-too-much-and-feel-too-little" rel="nofollow">We think too much and feel too little</a> =-.

Sorry I can't actually name any movies but I'm not one for remembering movies. For me it has to be either incredibly sad or happy, but it has to be unexpected. .-= Sire´s last blog ..<a href="http://wassupblog.com/why-i-dont-comment-on-blogger-blogs/" rel="nofollow">Why I Don’t Comment On Blogger Blogs</a> =-.
