Will You Try To Avoid Watching Sad Movies

I have some friends who will refuse to watch the sad movies. As they are afraid of crying when they watch this kind of movies. As to me, I like to watch any kinds of movies, and it's alright for me to watch sad movies. And I think if a movie can make you drop tears, it must be a good one.

Depends. Sometimes I will see a movie that really makes me sob it's so sad. If it's that sad then I wont watch it again. Of course I have seen movies that I didn't know were going to be sad & so by the end of watching it I am already reaching for the tissues...LOL. [RobsWife10706]
You are very emotional and so am Ihappy [youless]


I LOVE sad movie!! Nowadays, life have become so fast-paced and full of problems that there is practically no time to even talk about emotion. Therefore sad movies allow me to slow down and feel those emotions than I don't get to feel in daily life. =) Just a recommendation. If you like Japan love story, do try watching this movie titled [Koizora] or in some cases [Koisora]. It is a movie that came out last year(I think...) about the love story of two teenager. I cried like there is no tomorrow when I watched it. [nightfall14]
I seldom watch Japanese movies. If I do, usually it's a horror movielol [youless]



I try to avoid to watch to sad movies. I will be sad for long time after i watch a movies like this. Maybe i am to sensitive, maybe i am not in good mood, but i ll avoid to watch this kind of movies. Of course not all the time i know how much sad will be a movie, and after i start to watch i see that is sad. than i will watch, even i will cry. [icesmile]
Thanks for your response. [youless]


I know I will avoid watching sad movies since when I do it really brings my mood down, but sometimes I just love a good sad movie. [willowgirl1084]
Thanks for your reply. [youless]



Hi, youless. happy There are some sad movies that I have not been able to watch anymore since becoming a mom. I can't seem to make it all the way through one about losing a child, child abuse or anything that seems unfathomable to me to imagine happening to my child. It's not just that I don't want to cry, but I sometimes become physically ill from them. I actually don't mind crying. A good cry is good for the soul if you ask me. [makingpots]
I know being a mom, we have changed a lot. I totally understand your feelings. [youless]


well,yea i surely avoid any sad movies at any cost really it bores me,well if itz nay kind of action movie i am sure to watch it,i don't like movies especially that makes me sad that will be so boring it quiet makes me sleep in the theater itself,this sort of situation came when my friend forced to watch a movies that was too boring that i really sleptsleep there,only when my friend woke me that i really knows that movie has ended..anyway i hope this sort of situation never comes again,anyways happy lottin..happy [varunvasanth]
If a movie makes me cry, I don't think it'll be boringlol [youless]


I don't say I don't like sad movies, I only don't like my crying part. I think I'm just too sensitive in this. I wish I don't have to cry. [caesarin]
I think it's hard to hold back the tears. [youless]


I love watching movies and that means any kind of movie will do, except horror films. I love watching sad movies. It is a bit weird but I love crying whenever I am watching a movie. It just goes on to show that that movie was so good that it was able to make me cry. There are times when I just want to see an emotionally-charged movie which can sometimes be a tragedy. But I usually watch sad movies alone becaue I don't want people seeing me crying while watching a movie. [zzyw87]
I try to wipe my tears secretly when I am watching sad movieshappy [youless]


i suppose it depends on the mood a person is in, i usually watch funny movies because i like to laugh, if im feeling romantic it will be a chick flick. theres many reasons for watching differnt types of movies so it would be more of a personality thing for them to say they chose not to watch sad movies. i just like good movies and i pick a good movie by story line first then actors then sleep factor whether i fall asleep or not. [johndebaptist]
Sad movies can be good movies, toohappy [youless]


Yes you are right . The movies which will drop tears from our eyes will indeed be a good one . I also wont say no to watching any movies . Especially if it is in a theater . [starash007]
Thanks for your response. [youless]


Our life is full of joy & sorrow, So if you are happy lot, you should watch sometime sad movies, It helps us to stay away from those mistaked done by those movie character or it teach us how to fight against those challenges in life. [net_ankit]
This is a nice pointhappy [youless]


It is very very rare for a film to make me cry or make me feel sad, I am not keen on weepy films to be honest, I prefer horror, fantasy and scifi as my favourite movie genres, there are only two films that guarantee me being sad and reaching for the tissues they are Titanic and Star Wars Episode 3 (when Anakin turns to the dark side and turns into the most evil man in the galaxy!) I haven't found any other films that make me sad. [wolfie34]
Perhaps you are a man, and therefore your tears seldom drop especially for movieshappy Even if the cartoon movie Robots can make me cry, then sad movies will make my tears go like the floodlol [youless]


I don't mind watching a sad movie what I can handle are horror movie. Have a wonderful evening. Happy myLotting Snowqueen [snowqueen2008]
Nice to hear that and wish you a great day! [youless]


Morning, youless. There were quite a few times that I wept for the touching stories in the movies. My wife knows this. I don't know why I cannot help myself while watching this kind of sad movies. I guess that I am kind of emotional person while watching movies. Enjoy your day, youless. [williamjisir]
If I cry when I watch the movies, my husband will laugh at melol I think your wife won't do the same to youwink [youless]


I very seldom watch movies, but I do not mind watching sad movies, usually. I still want them to have a happy ending, though. I will not watch sad movies about animals or movies with graphic violence. [GardenGerty]
Animal movies with a sad ending always make me cry. [youless]


I call those tear jerkers. Sure, I love watching sad movies. It's totally OK to cry. A good cry releases stress and helps one feel better. Don't mind a good cry on occasion as long as I don't have to mope and dwell on all the stuff that went wrong in my life. Not when I have so many good things in my life and so many wonderful friends and family to be happy over. happy [beautyqueen26]
You are right. And this is why generally women live longer than men. Because women cry more often than men. [youless]


I will avoid watching sad movies if there are other people watching with me, but I'm all for it if I'm alone. I'm not comfortable with people around to witness my waterworks. [caffeinedrunk]
I don't want others to know I am crying. I will secretly wipe my tears. [youless]


no, i love watching sad movies..i think we can learn lots from misarable movies instead of comedy. comedy may only for fun..well, sad movie mostly teaches us some thoughts... [babyorchid]

Hi,youless.It is real in my deep heart i would try to avoid watching sad movies,so I dislike the movie "Nanjing Nanjing",which would make me sad with my compatriots dead so painful by The agressors. I would never forget the history,but i dislike to see the pain of our homeland... [sinokirin]
I think I will still watch the movie you mentioned. [youless]


Hi there,for me,there's not any special kinda movies that I don't like as long as I know the background of the movies.Last week,I just watched Nanjing Nanjing,which was very very movement movie!!Deeply impressed by this movie by LuCuan!! Have you watched it youless? [tonytt2009]
I haven't watched Nanjing Nanjing yet, but I think I will watch it sooner or later. [youless]


hi youless, i watch sad movies..esp.if the leading actress or actors are my favorites..sometimes we cant avoid to be carried away by the scene but it is normal to a human beings..sad [marketing07]
The Korean love TV series are popularhappy [youless]


I can watch even sad movies but there should be a good and touching story behind those emotions. It is really a different experience to watch such movies. Even though there is no action, romance or even comedy but the way emotions are expressed is really excellent. Because in action emotion is really difficult to express clearly. [rakesh284]
Thanks for your response. [youless]


I like sad movies but I do not often watch them because I get affected easily. I tend to remember sad movies because they made me cry. I do not often watch however. I can only remember If Only, A Walk To Remember and The Notebook. Also the inspirational movies like the Pursuit of Happiness and Pay It Forward. I hate it when some people die like in The Ghost but that is a very good one. Anyway if movies are sad and they made you cry then they are worth remembering. [Yori88]
I watched the Notebook and the Pursuit of Happiness and I cried badly. [youless]


I don't really mind watching sad movies on a normal day. But if I am feeling kinda low, I try to avoid watching them as much as possible because they will only make me feel worse. There are times when I am feeling ok, I watch sad movies and it doesn't really bother me if I cry because I know that I am crying only because I was touched by the story in the movie and not because I personally am sad. [silverglint]
It is true. When we are having good mood, we will feel alright soon after watching sad movies. [youless]


Hi Youless.....I dont like watching sad movies that make me cry.I believe movies are for entertainment and like movies that make me laugh or think,but not cry..........happy [Roseo8]
Ok Thanks for the tip........Have a greahappyt day...... [Roseo8]


If I hear that that certain movie can make people cry, well I try to avoid watching it, makes me feel gay. But when I started a movie without knowing it makes us cry, I continue to watch it. "I love to watch sad movies but I try to avoid watching it". It's like, "I love it but I don't like it" [wendelltrack]
It sounds like that you are a manhappy [youless]


Hi Youless, We are almost the same! I like all kinds of movie except horror movie. I don't know why, i just get scare of the sounds and the scenes. I have a some friends who loves horror movie, i just never get it. I like sad movies sometimes. but most of the time, i like comedy. [vivianchen]
Perhaps people all want to be happy, so a sad movie is not all people's favorite type. [youless]


I agree with you. If that movie made you cry then probably it's an intense and touching story. I don't avoid watching sad movies, I've watch the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, it's a sad movie but then I end up liking it. The Notebook is considered a sad movie for me too, because obviously I cried a bucket of tears from it. I think that if critically calling a movie good, it should have something touching and powerful to it and I guess that's what most sad movies have. I won't say I like these kinds of movies but as a moviegoer, there's probably nothing wrong in tearing up for a movie. As long as you enjoy and felt contented, it's probably worth watching!:) [quennie_ghurl]
I totally agree with you. Curious Case of Benjamin Button made me cry badly. And I especially cried seriously at the end of the Notebook. [youless]


I enjoy crying with sad movies. I even cry at comical movies too. Sometimes I am too emotional that I tend to get carried away when a certain situation is very heart moving. [adoremay]
I can understand it. I can cry for even a cartoon movie like Robots. [youless]


I cry as if it was me in the movie. Then if I happen to hear the songs from the movie I cry then too. In fact I cry when I see those sad long distance commercials. I will take a walk and listen to my mp3 player and if me and my man are fighting and a song comes on I can relate to, YUP I cry. My family cracks up laughing. I like being sensitive. Can I help it if I am Emotional. LOL dl [dloveli]
My husband laughs at me when he sees I cry because of sad moviewink [youless]


Hi youless, if I could I surely would try not to watch any tragedy movies. I don't mind to shed tears when seeing the mournful scenes when watching the movie. I just couldn't tolerate the sorrowful scenes and events that I have seen still emerging in my mind and make me to feel sad and depressed even the movie is over for quite some time. Due to this I would like to choose comedy movies that always have happy endings. I prefer to search for pleasure when watching movies, so comedy movie is always my first preference. Happy happy posting! [lkbooi]
It seems that sad movies will have a long lasting depressing effect on you. [youless]


When you said sad movies, do you mean drama? I am not into drama, too. I prefer comedy, action, suspense thriller, heist, adventure. I am not entertained by dramatic scenes. [taski24]
It is hard to say. Sometimes a love story can also be a sad movie. [youless]


i watched sad movies especially when about families. i always love to watch movies that will touch my heart. most of them have some lessons to learn. [flagella08]
I agree with you. Since it's meaningful, so it will touch your heart. [youless]


Depends on your lifestyle and problems you have. After my mother died, I am not watching anything but comedies. This is my choice to stay away from depression and constant thinking about my mother. [polachicago]
I am sorry to hear that. I know your mom loves you and she is in the heaven and smiles to you. [youless]


yes you are right. i love any kind of movie. specially if it is written good and with a very nice meaning on it. [jheLaichie]
Thanks for your response. [youless]


I don't really try to avoid watching sad movies. I like watching any kind of movie even if it will make me cry, I don't mind crying in front of people. If I watch a movie with my boyfriend and it is a sad movie I think it is cute when he is able to shed a tear. [rmuxagirl]
If your boyfriend ever sheds tears when he is watching a movie, perhaps at that time you are already crying badlylol [youless]


I prefer a movie with a honest ending that may be sad instead of a movie with a happy ending tacked on.I am wired differently. I prefer sad movies at times . If I am not in the mood for a happy film, it will make me livid. [sarahruthbeth22]
I am never bored with Ralph Fiennes. [sarahruthbeth22]


i like to see any kinds of moves, even if the moves is sadly, i also like it,however, i don't like to see the moves with sadness ending.if that, i will avoid to watching.in my opinion, most sadness will be came into happiness in the coming day.there is a real life,a ability perople definely will find a boss to know him. a kinly person also will be get their gain. so i do agree that a good movie can make somebody drop tears.but i don't think a movies with sadness ending is a good movies. hopiness should be found in every movies, that is the correct. [haiershen]
I wonder whether you have watched City of Angels. Do you think it's a good movie?wink [youless]


I am not worried about my emotions when watching movies. I either watch the movies alone, or i watch the movies with friends and loved ones who understand my emotions, and whose emotions I understand, should we react emotionally to any movie we may choose to watch together. [danishcanadian]
That's good. If I cry for a movie, my husband will find it amusedlol [youless]
