I cried when both my children were born. I was actually a blubbering idiot when my son, the first child was born. The nurses were actually laughing at me.
I also had a very hard time keeping it together while giving my dad's eulogy.
I also cried when the Red Sox won the World Series.

Over in Britianland, just after 9/11, when the band played The Star Spangled Banner instead of God Save the Queen at the changing of the Guard. I mean, England sucks and all, but that was nice.
And just about any futile, valiant gesture.

Nobby's Ghey-Detector failed to respond.
Ironically, ToUtem's response pushed it off the scale.

watch out guys, girl in the men's room!
I remember that. I bawled. Of course, I was preggers when 9/11 happened, so I cried about ALL of it. Then demanded ice cream.

One of our Navy friends was part of the Navy group in Mediterranean and he told us that after 9/11 the German Navy hung the US flag from one of their ships, played the American anthem and saluted. I teared up a bit when I heard that.
Also teared up during the funeral of Ronald Reagan. Not because he died, but you could see the utter heartbreak of his wife on his coffin. We still lived on the base and I remember the base did the 21 gun salute as part of that day. Several sailors were in their dress blues and stayed and saluted for the entire salute. If I remember right, it was an optional thing that the commands gave to their sailors and it was nice to see some of them take that extra step to honor a former president.

I pay my respects at the allies' war-graves whenever I'm in France or Belgium, but the war-cemetery nearest to me is a German one about 8 miles away. There are 5,000 graves of Gerries who died on British soil in the 2 world wars.
Every Rememberance Sunday I go there for the service - It's all very Lutheran, but full of German top-brass and hundreds of widows and other relatives making the pilgrimage from the Vaterland. There are a few of us Brits go along, including a few old boys who fought against Germany in WWII.
One old geezer from Manchester (an ex-paratrooper who survived Arnhem and Abbeville) always attends and proudly carries a photograph of his 19-year-old brother who was killed on D-Day by the Germans. He makes a big fuss of the Germans who attend, and every year I have to stifle tears when he tells them "We're all here for all our brothers, whichever side they were on."
OK. I'm a soft-***** old git. FUck you.

I cried at the death of Porthos in the final Musketeer book.
I cry whenever I see Saving Private Ryan.
I cry at the Sunken Road, Burnsides' bridge; The Wheatfield and at any military cemetery.
I can cry because Elne loves me.
I did NOT cry at the end of the Harry Potter series, really I didnt.
But I am crying now thinking about things that make me cry. Things that are too private to put here.

I cry watching Toy Story 2 at the part where Jessie remembers when she was given away by her first owner. It reminds me my two little girls will grow up and leave the nest and so every moment I have with them now is precious.

This reminds me of a guy that I was dating back in college. We went to go see Aladdin in the theater and at the end of the movie, the ****** was crying. I mean bawling and I asked him why and he said it was because he was so happy that things worked out for Jasmine and Aladdin. It completely freaked me out and we broke up about a month later.
Not saying you're a wimp Yossarian, because as a parent, I know where you're coming from. But this guy was a 19 year old college student. He got too weepy for me.
Once upon a time, I dated a guy that cried during Schindler's list. I should have suspected he was a poosay when he stepped out of the theater to call his mother, sobbing about how he "didn't know". I was even sympathetic when I found out he wasn't Jewish, just overly empathetic.
The day he cried when his landlord came to get the rent I broke up with him. ******* pansy.

I have cried like a baby when a loved one died, but not in public, only alone behind closed doors. I have teared up out in public at funerals and wakes but never bawled.
Normally I can't stand people that equate pets with people, but I cried a few years ago when I watched our family dog of 15 years be put to sleep. And then it came back to me recently when I choked back a few tears during I Am Legend, when he had to strangle his own dog.
Not out-and-out crying, but certain songs will get me choked up if I'm in the right mood, as did To Kill a Mockingbird the first time, and sometimes watching MLK's I Have a Dream speech.
Hmm, what's worse? That these things can get me emotional, or that I don't have anything important enough in my actual life to cry about, just vicarious empathy.

Sometimes I wonder if there is something wrong with me..
I have yet to read a book or see any movie that made me even begin to wonder if I was going to cry. I guess I just haven't read or seen anything that I can truly empathize with. In fact, the last time I cried was about 2 years ago (got incredibly upset and told my father what I really thought of him).
Then again, I'm only 20 years old, so I'd imagine I haven't seen much in this world yet. Probably a long trail of tears headed my way.

I get tears in my eyes quite easily. I don't remember the last time I properly sobbed, but I can get tears from watching silly movies, documentaries, certain songs, or because of serious arguments with my mum, my girlfriend, my dad. I empathiose far too easily.
But yeah, I call them Drops of Macho Manliness.

I cried when our cat died, about 5 years ago. We were both 15. :(
Also, relatives dying, good films (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind almost did it, Grave of the Fireflies definitely did), good books like The Dark is Rising which I spent a few days reading obsessively when a teenager. Now I cry when chopping onions and in order to elicit sympathy.
