I'm straight and LOVE WOMEN. But when for example I watch Titanic or any other emotional love dramas I get water in my eyes and kinda sad. Is that normal. I don't cry but sometimes get tears and feel so attached to the characters and sad. Like at the end of Titanic, I felt so sad and teary eyed when "Jack" didn't make it. And in life in general when I see hungry kids starving, and stuff like that I get so sad and watery eyed.

Yes.
It's normal.
Just because youre a guy and isn't some freak who thinks it's weird, that doesn't mean you're GAY.
It isn't normal to only admit that you can be happy or mad.
It's unhealthy.

Yes it's ok. You sound like a very normal and sensitive guy. What a refreshing change! Long gone are the days when macho men don't cry. Even being a woman I don't like to cry when I am out in public. But when I watch a sad movie, I bring out the box of kleenex. You sound like a great guy.

Supposedly women live longer because they cry.Maybe it's because many men die from suppressing their emotions and than get angry when a woman cries. My Dad seemed to not like it when I would cry as a kid. Than when he would cry it didn't seem like him because he always seemed to be in control....sorta. Some people have good reasons to cry anyway especially soldiers. My ex-wife used to get mad at me because I was more emotionally involved with the TV instead of her. But, she could always put me to sleep talking to me at night though.

TITANIC?!! I remember getting bored and actually fidgeting. One of the worst movies of all time for me.
Ok, anyway, I think yeh it's alright for you to pour your heart out. It shows you are sensitive and soft-hearted. And these are not the signs of weakness. Signs of weakness include running away from battle and leave your love ones to be ridiculed by others.
The idea of 'men don't cry' is simply a social pressure thingy.
I'm tempted to talk more about the topic of "men crying" but since your question is specifically on watching movies, I'll stop here.

You're just a sensitive guy. Some women like that. I've known a few men that acted this way. It must be difficult around your guy friends though.
Most men aren't as understanding about emotion as women are.
Jack, pass the puffs please!

Yes it is ok! It is healthy and normal.
If I am watching a seriously sad movie with a guy and he has absolutely no expression change on his face, he's on the way out.
Ps. Guys like BiggNizz, who call men that show emotion Gay, are not comfortable with their own sexuality or manhood.

Well of coarse it is. I get emotional when I see things like to.
All people are different. Boy's and girls can both get emotional even if they are 12 years old or if they are 19 years old.

Most women find it refreshing when a man actually shows his intellectual side. Seeing another's pain--even if it's just a fictional character--and reacting to it shows that you are sympathetic, and most women like that trait in a man. It's normal, but usually not shown (most men fear that this will make them look inferior, and not strong as men think they should look).

It's a-okay. You're not afraid of experiencing someone else's emotions. I'd be scared if you never showed emotion.
