Hah! I cry over episodes of the Simpsons sometimes. One that really gets me sobbing is Seven Pounds.

Any movie with a lot of emotion will get me going though.

It is funny you should mention crying during the simpsons because I have done that as well. To come up with a specific example I would have to mention the episode in which bart purchases a new dog with a credit card and gives his old dog to the repo men. My brother saw me crying and I was a bit embarrassed even though I was not ashamed of crying because I knew he was going to tease me. I also cried during seven pounds and I cried during I am Legend. I would have to add gattaca to the list. It was such an emotional movie and I cried for scenes that weren't sad but evoked a variety other emotions that made me cry. There is also a funny instance in which I cried during a comedy. LOL. The film was "Fun with penis and Jane". I cried because I couldn't see the things that were resorted to as hillarious because I only saw them as tragic. It is kind of funny that I thought "I can't believe it has come to this" instead of "Oh my god it is so funny what it has come to" but that is the way I saw it the first time. I also cry listening to certain songs. I cried listening to "nothing to lose", "you found me", "boulevard of broken dreams" and others that I can not recall just from the top of my head. I can be quite the cry baby even though I have absolutely no access to female hormones and I am seventeen. I wonder what I would be like on hormones. I would probably be an emotional reck but there is no way to find out but to do it (that won't be for several years when I become fully educated for my career and move out but it is interesting to think about).

Random Harvest with the stunning Greer Garson. If you can sit through this without crying, you're a stone.

No one mentioned Bridges of Madison County.

Million Dollar Baby, which brings up a point. Why are people saying Hillary Swank isn't hot? That bothers me. I think she's drop dead gorgeous.

Someone mentioned Blood Diamond. Good choice.

Penny Serenade.

In Name Only, with the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, Carole Lombard.

Pvt Ryan, also mentioned is a great one.

The Searchers

The Goodbye Girl

Waterloo Bridge

Here Comes Mister Jordan.

Shawshank Redemption.

Fingersmith.

Sahara.

Notorious.

.....just to name a few

Shoot. Old Yeller. Forgot.

Deer Hunter was mentioned. Great one.

Blackhawk Down as well.

The new version of Tess of the d'Urbervilles (Also brings out my anger at Thomas Hardy) and the newest version of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility with Hattie Morahan. Little Dorrit. Tale of Two Cities.

( I love my Jane Austen's)

More later.

Practically everything. But my biggest cry goes to Marley and Me. Oh and Charlie St. Cloud.

And Jewelry commercials... They get me EVERYTIME. The writers for those commercials should be given an award or something :P

I tend not to well up at films, though one that really got me as a kid was Pit Pony. People can get killed and I don't blink an eye but as soon as it involves animals it's a different story! :P

Let's see... There are a bunch of movies that make me cry when I watch them.

Forrest Gump

The Green Mile

The Place Promised in our Early Days

(Any movie from Studio Ghibli)

The Shawshank Redemtion

The Truman Show

Those are the ones that come to mind. I'm sure I could get a better list if I was looking at my collection while writing it.

I well up for lots of movies. Just about anything with an emotional build up. I doesn't need to be sad. Love stories. And I can watch a movie several times just for effect.

Green Mile

Steel Magnolias really touched home for me.

Cowboy: I cry at Lion King too! And the Fox And The Hound. When the woman brins the fox back to the woods, gets me every time.

Um let's see. Gattaca gets me a little teary near the end. And Lost And Delirious, the ending makes me cry. And The Notebook almost made me cry the first time I saw it.

A lot of movies make me cry.

The weirdest one by far was a documentary I saw on the old Penn Station before it was torn down. There's a scene with one of the angel statues lying scuffed and broken in a New Jersey landfill that absolutely crushed me. Someone spent countless days carving a thing of beauty beyond anything I've created in my entire life and that was how later generations treated it. It's so callous that it almost seems unreal.

I'm actually tearing up again remembering this.

I cry during a lot of movies. I cried when i was watching outbreak the other day out of compashion where before i didn't value my own life a thought dropping the bonb was a good idea.

I cried during spy game when gred pitt's character had a bad date with his girl frienr because of his boss interfering.

I cried in finding nemo when ellen's character was being stung by the jelly fish.

I pretty much cry at everything now even when out and about. I wasn't having sucu a great night a couple of days ago and i happened to have my ball cap with me and spent most of the night with teary eyes hidden by the cap.

I cried way too much long before I took hormones anyway, but one that does me in is Ghost, when they finally get to kiss. Another is Schindler's List, when the survivors are honoring him at his gravesite.

There are several movies that made me cry the first time I saw them (the fact that I saw a lot of them as a kid when I was a crybaby didn't help, LOL), but these ALWAYS make me cry even rewatching them:

-Gattaca

-Interview with the Vampire (not as much as the book)

-Moon

-Blade Runner

-The Thirteenth Floor

-Requiem for a Dream

-The Butterfly Effect (at the very end)

-Leòn/The Professional

And speaking of cartoons...the end of THAT Gosh darned episode of Futurama with Fry's dog! The sad music doesn't help, LOL

Also, Ai no Kusabi and Winter Cicada are two well-made yaoi anime...but they are REALLY sad. I only saw Winter Cicada once so Idk if I'd cry again watching it, but the first time I sure did.

A lot of stuff (anime, books, tv shows, videogames, sometimes even songs) make me cry but somehow films don't often...

well, the only one I can think of is the second Pirates of the Carribien film when Jack got eaten by the Kraken.

      It would work better, but the issue will always be time and cost, unless a school district is building a new school.  Districts everywhere are short on infrastructure funds, so it's not a realistic solution in most cases.   Carolyn Marie

      I have always thought that the solution to the bathroom question (as well as improved bathroom quality/privacy for everybody) would be individual, gender-neutral, locking bathrooms.  Not this wacky thing we insist on doing with stalls.  It wouldn't take much more space, really.  And it might actually work better.  Ever notice how there's often a line at the door of the women's room, but plenty of free space in the men's?  Yet the men's and women's bathrooms are usually of equal size/capacity?

      I'm going to have to stop staying up so late at night...  Its after midnight, so technically morning.  So, Good Morning, y'all.   I got to go to work with my husband for the last two days.  I'm working on the graphics stuff for his company, so he said that nobody would really mind if I hang out.  I usually stay home, but its kind of nice to be somewhere different for a little while.  I spent part of the day at one of the company's installation sites... beautiful weather, so I worked on my laptop sitting under a tree.  And I learned something new - it is amazing how electrical wires are installed underground.  They're put in PVC tubes, and actually pulled through.  By hand!  Apparently a machine would risk breaking the wires somehow, so I watched a line of men literally playing tug-of-war with hundreds of feet of wire.  It was like something out of an old movie - my husband leading a call/response work chant and everybody pulling in a rhythm.    It does give me a bit of self-doubt, though.  Like, if that's what "real men" are doing... maybe I'm a poor-quality imitation

      Can I just say quickly re the bathroom question, how come no-one ever seems to suggest building more gender-neutral toilets?

      With the onslaught of bills targeting trans kids in the US and the current attempt to radically curtail gender-affirming treatment for kids in the UK I think you could just as easily ask why are things so hard for trans kids. Given the volatile political situation around them, I am pleased to hear there are still services attempting to help them.
    • KayC
      @Mia Marie I agree that it seems most of the focus is on Trans Youth.  And maybe that is in part because of protecting Trans Youth from the political environment, and to give them a chance to transition at an earlier age.  Many of our generation have been cloistered for most of our lives by societal exceptions and I think that has made it more difficult to be Visible ... until Now. So I guess my answer is ... Be Visible and seek out, or even start, support groups in your local area.  Planned Parenthood does provide Gender Affirming Care and therapy in most U.S. regions (and they take Medicare!). 
    • KayC
      As a registered CA voter I would be HAPPY to vote against this bill ... BUT as @Carolyn Marie mentioned it has little chance to make the ballot.  Hopefully this will put the Death Knell on the bill.   wrt Parents Rights of notification.  I would agree if there was potential harm to a child, or if the child was involved in potentially harming somebody else.  BUT, that would not be the case in the preponderance of situations.  The decision to Come Out to one's own parents should be up to the individual child only.  If the child does not feel Secure or Safe in their household then it should not be up to the State or School to make that determination. If the child did feel safe and secure they would have probably already come out.  If they haven't ... then the situation seems obvious.  Protect the Child, not the System.

      Great news!  We ARE starting to receive more public support and visibility in opposition to these types of horrendous and wasteful bills.
    • KayC
      Nice to meet you @mattie22 , and Welcome! Your feelings are very normal.  I felt much the same at the beginning of my Journey.  But, in fact it is a 'journey' that is unique to each of our individual lives.  There is not a specific or pre-determined destination.  That's up to you to discover as you find your way. You already received some great Encouragement here.  I hope stay with us, and you will both discover and contribute.  Deeps breaths ... one step at a time

      Incredible news for transgender and abortion providers and patients in Maine. Despite violent threats, Gov. Janet Mills of Maine has signed a sanctuary bill into law. It even enshrines WPATH Standards of Care as protected by Maine.   https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1782894991368462520/photo/1

      Basically my only source of validation is from close friends who know I'm trans 😅   I'm not a very masculine-looking guy in general, and I've had to stop binding due to pain, so strangers and physical validation aren't things I can get. My family still uses she/her pronouns and female terms with me, so there's not much validation at home, either.   I'm grateful I have friends that are willing to use my pronouns and such, though. It makes me feel a lot better.
