Probably but I sure as hell canβt. The last act of the film never fails to leave me in a mess.

yes. When they do everything but hold up a CRY NOW sign ... they lose me.

Yes. Catman did not find the movie particularly engaging.

I am not sure if I have ever cried at E.T. and I am someone who has cried during many movies.
I am a big fan of the movie though and it is definitely emotional.
I cry like a baby at the end of A.I though. Someone could offer me $1,000,000 to not cry at the end of this movie and I wouldn't be able to not cry.

Not unless you do something to yourself to take away your focus on crying like sticking your hand in an old style mouse trap.

Those screaming violins in the score bring me close to tears of annoyance.

Yes. The 'death' scene is sad but it never moved me to tears.

I've tried staring at the wall or ceiling during the saddest parts. It doesn't work!

I watched it a couple months ago and did not cry, so I guess so.

On the other hand, Catman can see why Coors did not build an advertising campaign around 'the beer which damn near killed E.T.'

There are only a few films I've seen in a theatre where you could hear audible sobbing from nearly everyone in the audience. The conclusion of Chaplin's City Lights was one, E.T. was another.
I survived the E.T. resurrection without a tear, mostly because I knew Spielberg was not going to traumatize a generation of children by killing off the little s.o.b.
However, you have to be made of some really hard bark to get through the final scene at the spaceship and what may be the most eloquent expression of inevitable loss spoken in a moving picture.
Come. Stay.

The ads at the time were "see the movie that makes grown men cry."

I don't recall ever crying, but I do get misty-eyed at the end.
