32 year old man and still cry.

I don't know what it is, maybe how sad it gets in places, John Williams score, or these things combined with the nostalgic element from when I watched it as a child, but I will cry at least three times during this movie. I just can't help it. I start laughing at myself because of it and will rarely watch t with anyone else in case of embarrassment.

Anyone else like this?

I'm a 31 yo male and for some reason I didn't feel emotional watching this as a kid. I watched this a few years ago after 15-20 odd years and the tears just came out of me and I couldn't control it.

It is a really good and nice movie, it does not matter how old you are...

Yes I’m 40 this year recently lost both parents within 11 months of each other to cancer, Dad and I watched so many movies together

I hadn’t watched this movie in well
Over a decade last night decided to. And I lost the plot during the final bike chase with the music! Before we even got to the touching ending. I dunno if it’s from recent loss and now o have a young family but I look at things different now older.
