Do you get emotional when you watch romantic films?

Most of the time I do get touched and get teary .The first few times I saw "The Notebook" I could not stop crying,especially at the end.But,the one movie that is not a romantic film but very touching that I cty through most of it is,"The Passion of Christ".

Yup! A hopeless romantic, I guess. But you're right, not all movies nowadays seems to be that "touching" enough as compared with the old ones.

Yes, I do, I'm a guy but I can cry at the drop of a hat; a sad or romantic song, or movie, or a sad story in the newspaper, or just thinking of a sad incident from my past, all can make me cry. But I pretty well only ever cry alone: in public I'm very controlled. In fact although I tend to friendliness and good manners, I'm not the most easily social of beings, and I like my own company. I'd not consider myself a push-over either: I can be quite strong-minded. So, it's strange I think, this secret tearfulness. It's not always there; just sometimes. I can feel very sad for others at times: I'm a Christian, and I pray for people a lot. I can be caring for the welfare of others, including spiritual. Which brings us back to the movies...yes, sad, romantic, moving movies, they can make me well up like no one's business. I'm a great, great romantic. And always have been.

I`m afraid that I cry a lot more with movies now that I`m older. And even though I can see that they repeat stories (and feel everything we do is a repetition after all) I cry all the same. I took out from the Blockbuster a few years ago the classic Casablanca. I knew I wouldn`t like it (too old) but it seemed everyone but me had seen it. I watched the movie, cried my eyes out, rewinded it and saw it again crying again. Of course this is one of the most moving movies of all time. But there are other movies that make me cry a bit, such as Pretty Woman although I have been hearing about Cinderella since I was a small child.

I agree, Romantic movies before are way better and touching than the stories we see now in the movies. I think the last movie I saw that I really cried is "The Notebook" even when reading the book I still cry. It is just so touching for me and I really feel the unconditional love in that movie. They could say we are hopeless romantic, but who cares! We are touched and we only let out our emotions by crying.

Hi friend, Some people are very emotional and they don't have the ability to control their tears while seeing the movie, but i am not in this sort. I can control my emotions and watch the movies. As you mentioned, the modern movies are not very touching, they are targeting the commercial than the story line and give importance to it

I can't say it's a romantic movie.. It's a comedy w/ drama the title of it is 3 idiots. My tears really fall because I can relate to what happened to them because as a student I'm not really a smart person and not rich enough to have all the things that is important in your study..by the way not only me my friends also who watched the movie with me... then after watching the movie we were laughing who was the most tears fall.. Another movie that touches our heart is 'Crazy Little Things called Love' .. my tears want to fall but then I try to control it because my two classmates are already crying .. By laughing at them my tears gone..

i am male but i do sometimes get emotinal when i am watching a nice romantic movie. One movie that i thought that was particularly moving was 'Titanic' i thought the ending was really sad but its these emotions that help to give these movies real charater.

Depends on my mood at the time, if I cry or not. But I think you're right they don't know how to make romantic movies any more. So, I'll stick to the old romantic movies if I want to watch a tear jerker!

I am a very emotional person... My friends in the office always tease me because I easily cry even when just reading some tragic news in the internet or newspaper (especially when it is about babies and dogs). And when I watch movies, if the scene really has some sort of drama or some touching lines (especially when it is played with some melo-dramatic background music), I don't know but I can't really control my tears from coming out of my eyes.

Not all romantic films, just a couple, the like of "The Notebook" and The Lakehouse. They really make me teary-eyed especially when the actors made the character even more convincing in the film.

Oh yes. I always cry whenever I watch romantic movies. I am not an emotional person when it comes to my life in reality, but watching romantic films and listening to romantic songs sure can make shed some tears. As a kid I used to cry while watching cartoons like 'Beauty and the Beast and Pocahontas'. They were my favorite childhood movies as a kid. I loved watching Mary Poppins. :)
