Things that shouldn't make you cry...but they do...
So, in the month between the end of school and going off to camp, my 12 year old daughter has been binge-watching "Glee."
She shared with me how the current season she's watching has had her in tears. Apparently, there have been a lot of relationship break-ups and other dramatic nonsense.
I was teasing her for crying, and then she reminded me that I teared up during Jim Harbaugh's introductory press conference. Touche, 2026 UM Grad. Touche, indeed.
In addition to freshly-cut onions and dust, there are some other things that make me get a little misty-eyed..."The Natural"..."Joy Luck Club"...certain episodes of "The Wonder Years."
Anyone else willing to come clean and share what makes you cry?
(Of course, I'm not referring to truly sad situations like the death of a loved one, a job loss, divorce, etc.)
(EDIT: Of course, I did a search of MGoBlog after I posted this, only to find that a similar topic had been posted about three months ago. Seems, though, like that's enough time in between posts...)
I lost my shit watching Inside Out at the theater with my 3 young daughters.

The question was for things that shouldn't make you cry, but do. I'm pretty sure that scene was meant to invoke an emotional response.
Have you ever seen the movie "Up"? Watching the first half hour of that shit is like chopping onions.
The beginning of Up also makes my lower lip quiver.
I love Dug.
I saw it in the theater. At the end a little kid stood up and said, "That was an awful movie!"
I agree. Shakespearean tragedy hiding in cartoon form, without the humor.
The beginning montage was sad, but the rest of the movie sucked. I hated both the main characters. The "adventure" was very boring and I barely watched the second half of the movie.
TCM is showing Gone With the Wind tonight in honor of Olivia de Havilland's birthday. I'm going to test and see if it can still make me sob.
The first time I cried over something fictional was when I read Bridge to Terabithia in 5th grade. Since then I have cried at many many fictional things. Dr. Green dying on ER has left IZ's Over the Rainbow able to choke me up all on its own.
The Great Santini
Every time I watch Contact and Jodie Foster knows she has a real signal, I tear up.
I'm such a dork.
Ending in Interstellar (spoiler's):
"I knew you'd come back."
"How?"
"Because my dad promised me."
...
"No parent should have to watch their child die."
What a powerful scene.
Or when Cooper gets the tapes from space after 21 years. If you've questioned Matt McConaughey as an actor, just watch that part.

Ken Holland, Dave Brandon and Matt Millen
This is the right answer.
Every year, without fail.

Do your kids a favor and don't hold it together.
I'm convinced nothing stunts males more than "Boys don't cry".
I mean of things that dont involve truly sick behavior, etc..
Harbaugh would not approve.
the richest man in town.

Don't forget Littlefoot's mom!
Field of Dreams turns on the waterworks for me every time.....but not the catch-with-Dad scene. When Moonlight Graham steps over the line. "Oh my God, you can't go back..." That kills me right there.
But songs that remind me of my past fuckups still have a way of a haunting me.
Wife and I cried like babies at "We Are Marshall."
in Walk the Line, where Johnny Cash auditions for Sam Phillips playing Folsom Prison Blues for the first time...his band mates have never played it before, and he's just totally putting everythign on the line...whew cry like a baby every time!
like offsides that go uncalled get me everytime as well..
when my parents cry I lose it
Turner and hooch, Marley and me, ect
