Hey, guys, just wanna see if I'm the only one out there who did. To tell you the truth, I was surprised to see myself cry, but what can you do, man! The scene where both father and son - at one of their early conversations on the radio - took a leap of faith but nevertheless told each other "I love you" was more than I could take with dry eyes.
Did you cry?
Yes, about half a box worth. lol

I got teary
sharei got teary eyed at the end when the dad saves his son and says "im still here chief" oh im tearing up now haha
I also enjoyed the ending, but I didn't get weepy. One reason why I like this movie is because it shows how positive the relationship can be between father and son. My version was horrible. My father was a complete idiot, arrogant, mean-spirited, hypocritical, et cetera--very much the antithesis of Quaid in this movie. I honestly envied Caviezel's relationship with his father. My father wouldn't have defended me in that situation: he would have looked out for himself.
shareOmg, I cried like 3 times at different parts in this movie. The ending still gets me weepy and i've seen it like 20 times.
shareDidnt cry. but definitely felt a big big tug in my chest. I thinks its a terrific movie.
sharei ve managed to hold it in :) i felt the tears running and rolling
I am a 17 year old guy btw :P, films that really made me cried in the past few years were Forrest Gump and Greenmile and a few others which i ve forgotten....
I shed so many tears...
shareYeah I cried, but I always cry. I cried at the beggining with radio, and at the end, and everytime someone nearly died lol. I just watched it for the first time this evening its a really good film.
shareTeared up in at least three places. The warehouse/timeline change scene being the first. Magical film. One of the most powerful out there. I've seen it five times or so and it gets me every time.

Take my advice. Watch "Stella". It's hysterical. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443409/
I'm a 50 year-old man and I cried. My late father and I didn't always see eye-to-eye, but we were both die-hard baseball fans. The ingenious use of a World Series game as a link across time between father and son hit home for me. You see, when my dad and I didn't know what to talk about, we always had baseball.

hell yeah I cried! I'm the same age as you, as this message is 2 years later. My experience is nearly identical to yours matrad6781. I loved this film although I am a Yankees fan rather then the Mets. I do remember as a kid living back east what it was like in the day when the Mets won the World series. They had us watching the games in the auditorium in school!

I did shed some tears. Very touching.
shareNo, didn't cry. I think it's pathetic and overplayed, and very false. I guess losers who don't have real relationships think saying " I love you " means they really do, even when in their own life, they really don't.
The empty loner, loser life needs those three words so, so badly.
Wow silicondoc, sounds like somebody really burned you or you never had a close relationshipe with your father to make you sound so cynical. Too bad, cause it makes YOU the real loser.
But regarding the post, hell yeah, I cried. Makes me wish I could talk to my dad again... to say all of the things we never had a chance to say to each other. Great movie.
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?
Cynical piece of work you have there silicondoc...
I'm still in tears right now after it's just finished about a few minutes ago (24 year old male)
"I'm still here Chief" said Quaid at the end, that moment started me off. Seeing them all happy playing baseball. Just...so heart warming and makes me cry that I wish I could be closer to my parents than I currently am because I am of a shy and not-so-confident nature.

Hello from 9 years later. I hope you're dead and you died alone.
shareIf your father has died (like mine) or have a son of you own (me again) there is no way you can watch this and not cry. Unless you have a heart of stone.
sharei didnt quite 'cry' but i was welling up when frank and john spoke after frank survived the warehouse fire.
my father is currently working on the other side of the planet (in some pretty dangerous places) and i dont often get to speak to him, so that had quite an effect on me.
It certainly choked me up, not quite to tears, but then I don't have kids and my dad is still alive. I liked the idea of the son saving his father's life twice, once in the fire and again by putting him off cigarettes. Despite the temporal paradoxes and swiss-cheese plot this was an entertaining and touching quality film. 8/10.

Hell yeah. I got teary-eyed a couple of times. The tender moments of this film will really get to you especially if you've lost a loved one (I've lost both my parents to cancer). The ham radio conversations between Frank and Johnny, the baseball scene at the end, these scenes just make you feel good inside.
shareThat scene where Frank and John stay up all night talking and then end the conversation telling each other how much they miss and love each other has got to be one the greatest father/son moments committed to film.
Just watching that one scene is like someone threw a canister of tear gas into the room with me.
If you expect the unexpected doesn't the unexpected then become the expected?
