Making Someone Cry with a Movie

Has anyone here ever showed an emotional movie to a friend, and been at least partly curious if it'd wring tears out of them?

Back months ago I showed one of my favorite films to a lady friend visiting. During a particularly bittersweet scene, she suddenly clasped her hand over her heart and her breathing got heavy and her lips got tight.

"Are you getting misty over there?" I said.

"I just might be," she answered in a choked up voice.

It was adorable.


"Bless me now with your fierce tears..."

No, as my dislike of sappy films means I won't sit through one even if it means watching someone cry.

Oddly enough, sappy movie has recently made me cry.


Ugly crying is pretty crying

I've always wanted to do that, but I might end up crying instead of them...lol. But it would be really sweet if I could make someone cry (husband or male friend) with a movie.

I am so guilty of this... I made my boyfriend watch A Star us Born after he told me it made him cry! He didn't cry the second time, unfortunately. Hahaha.

I have also made him watch Pixar movies with me, and he got teary watching Inside Out. It was adorable.

This was a dirty trick I used a lot during elementary and middle school. Not so much now.

Yes sometimes! Often, the person I wanted to see cry the most didn't shed a single tear, but there was almost always someone in the room who cried.

I definitely am very guilty of this - but I usually go for something I genuinely like that also coincidentally could have parts that will definitely emotionally effect the person I'm with.
