Full disclosure, I am not a crier. I’m not sure if that comes as a result of some sort of macho pride, but I do know I get that choked up, “lump in my throat” thing on occasion, most recently during Jaeden Lieberher‘s final speech at the end of St. Vincent. I also had a similar moment during The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
The one thing about admitting what makes you cry is it opens you up to possible ridicule or at least opens up a part of you that you don’t often show, certainly not publicly. So to admit the movies that make you cry may be perceived as a scary thing, which means the Internet just might be the perfect avenue for having such a discussion since we are all, more or less, anonymous. The Academy, however, put a few people on the spot asking the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Daniel Radcliffe, Lupita Nyong’o, Terrence Howard, Jennifer Garner, John Goodman, June Squibb, Ralph Fiennes, David Oyelowo and others what movies made them cry.
Give the video a watch below and share the movies that made you cry in the comment section.
