The unveiling for my aunt's gravestone.

Before that watching Marley & Me...I kid you not, that movie is a seriously tearjerker.  The opening scene of Up got me choked up.
Yup

The old man in Big Fish reminds me of my Dad with all his exagerrated stories.  It was on the other day and my little girl saw me with tears running down my face when the son finishes his dad's final story. Don't know why that gets me everytime, but it does.

Now that I've shared that, I need to spit, scratch myself and go and punch someone.

That's a pretty touching ending indeed.

Michael Jackson's memorial had me watering up, but this one got me the first time I saw it, and it always hits me hard anytime I see it.

Moments like this are why I love sports.

The time before the last time that I cried on public was during the 4th quarter of Game 6 of the Finals. I sure looked like a baby. It was weird because I don't think I had ever cried, smiled and drinked so much beer, so intensely before, all at the same time  :)

The last one was after saying goodbye to my last girlfriend at the airport being on the other side of the world, knowing I would not see her for a few more months, after not seeing her after another couple of months before that.

Last time I cried in a more private place was when I broke up with my last girlfriend, it was a long relationship that ended last year.

I also get emotional on movies from time to time, most of the time when I watch them by myself though. It's hard to get out of the movie theater if you do it there lol :P

I never got to see the end of Marley and Me because when it looked like Marley was gonna die my girlfriend turned it off and refused to watch it. I've since found out what happened and don't think I'll get around to watching it.

Oh man.  I rented that to watch with my daughters...They kept looking over at me like "Dad, are you OK?" .  My wife and I pretty much went through that whole scenario with "Buddy" a 13 year old lab.  He was our first child.  The took a backburner when hwe had our kids.  Then got old.  Then we had to have him put down when he could no longer eat.  Same deal.  Very sad to relive.

I find myself getting choked up all the time -- especially since I've had my kids.  Anything kid related -- bingo.

Both my parents are in their late 60's and I well up thinking about the sacrifices they've made for the family and of them not being with us sometime in the upcoming years.

Thinking about my grandparents also gets me, as did the wake that I attended two weeks ago.

The scene in Field of Dreams where Ray meets his dad -- gets me every single time, despite seeing it perhaps a hundred times.


I had a hard cry ages ago when I first watched the catch on Field of Dreams. Also cried at the end of A Perfect World. It was the dad motif that got to me. I also cried at the end of Mystic River, cuz the widowed mom reminded me of my mother. Those were quite a while ago though.

Regarding the Flaming Lips reference earlier -- seeing them live can be very uplifting and inspiring. I've never cried at a concert though. Just movies or really engaging TV.

I was surprised at what a good movie it was.  They managed to make it not so "hokey".  But it was very sad.

I didn't cry at game 6, but I teared up a lot at the banner raising. The Garden was electric!

Never saw Marley & Me, but I will admit that the beginning of Up got me choked up as well.  Luckily my GF cried for the entire first half and hour or so, so it went unnoticed.

Not to completely change this "times I cried during movies", but this one got me in an absolute tizzy a couple of years ago.  I hadn't watched this as an adult, and had quite a different perspective on it.

A movie has never made me cry.  Im not saying that to sound macho or anything like that.  It's just that, as much as I get into movies, I guess I always have a thought in the back of my head that it's not reality.  Though I came very close to crying the first time I saw Braveheart. 

One thing that could always potentially bring tears to my eyes is thoughts of death, sometimes you just stop and think that as wonderful and awesome as life is, it's so hard to believe that one day it's just going to all be over.  Ive always been so fascinated with death, and I probably think about it more than I should.  Ironically enough, I was closely reading the 'What do you think happens when you die?' thread early this morning while I was waiting for AC Units to kick back on during a fire alarm test I was doing.  Im always so very interested in hearing peoples thoughts and point of views when it comes to death.Like Roy said though, stuff like this will always cause me to tear up but something personally bad has to happen for me to full on cry.

Im sure there are other times here and there, but there are 3 times that come right to mind where I had a full on, let it all out cry.  The last time was last fall when my grandfather died (my first grandparent to pass).  Before that was when my first REAL serious relationship ended, since then, like Roy said you kind of develop the relationship callus.  And finally, the last one happened when I was 19, and it's also the only time any of my friends have really seen me lose it.  A friend of mine that I had since junior high school died tragically at work in an electrically related accident.  That was the first time I really had to personally deal with death and I really didnt know how to handle it.

and echoing the sentiments that Roy said, my condolences to everyone who has to deal with some kind of loss.
Greg
