Thanks, October. Those are good too. I like the gif I posted because it's very minimal-- over-dramatic soap opera style emotions don't really appeal to me. I like it better when it seems as if someone is wrestling with themselves and trying not to cry. It sounds like they cry a lot in Supernatural which I think would get old for me after a while, because tears from a "crybaby" don't have a lot of weight, if that makes sense.

If you're into implied/minimalist crying, there's a really good scene in Drive where Ryan Gosling is talking to Carey Mulligan's character outside the elevator. His face is mostly in shadows but you can hear him getting emotional as he talks to her and his voice breaks. The elevator opens and spills light on them and as Ryan looks up you can see tears on his cheeks. It's really subdued and played down but struck a chord with me. There are also some other scenes where he gets emotional and is shaking/sweating but no crying.

Also, for anyone who loves Ryan Gosling as much as I do, apparently he cries in The Place Beyond the Pines which is coming out this month.

Well I am a newbie who just found this forum so my opinion counts for exactly zilch, but I have to say I don't know that I would have signed up or looked into this forum if it was called "crying fetish forum." For me the interest is not sexual. It squicks me out a little to think of my interest as being a "fetish" because that seems like getting pleasure from other people's pain (real or acted), whereas for me it's more like an extreme sense of empathy that triggers some need in me to experience strong emotions. If that makes any sense... haha. I'm actually thinking about a lot of this for the first time because of this forum, but would never have signed up if it was called a "fetish forum" right in the title. Just something to think about for potential new members.

I like the season two one better, but for some reason it's always overlooked. There don't seem to be any clips or gifs of it, so if I want to watch it I have to load up Netflix and skip to that point in the episode. It just seems more in line with his character, and his emotional state leading up to it is great (hands and voice shaking, etc.) It seems unlikely to me that a guy like Don Draper wouldn't hide his face/try to control his crying as much as possible so maybe that's why the second scene doesn't really appeal to me-- it seems "fake."

Tumblr has tons of animated gifs from various movie/TV scenes. There are even a few blogs dedicated just to this. Just search for "crying" and the like.
