I am 59 years old, saw this when it first came out in the theaters in 1996. Cried then, and still tear up when Draco dies. Also, Pete Posthlewaite's (sp?) speech at the end about knowing where to look when the troubles became too much makes my heart swell !

Yes, I cried. Wah wah wah. That was me, crying into my popcorn, wishing I had a dragon. The music did most of the work though.

"To the stars" I don't cry but I teared A good and righteous death fact or fiction, always deserves at least a tear.
Just drivin aroundddd, in Jon Voight's carrrr.

it was a long time ago but ehem yes i cried (a little bit )

Yeah, I did. everytime I watch the movie, I cry at the end.

I didn't used to, but now I doevery time!

OH yeah, I cry my eyes out every time I watch this except it's tears from laughing so hard at how absolutely terrible it is.

I cried a little but then again its been so long since I've seen the movie. BTW this is my most favorite dragon movie simply because it is the only dragon movie i know of where the dragon is not evil and men are not trying to kill the dragon(s) (well except for the beginning).
Gordan Ramsey told me to go **** myself! But I cant reach!

I first saw it when I was six or seven on a rental VHS. I was completely amazed and obsessed with dragons at the time so I thought the movie was fantastic, but I didn't cry. Years later now that I'm in highschool, I rewatched the movie attempting to relive my childhood. I've moved on and am no longer obsessed with dragons. But man, that movie made me cry like a baby. Fantastic music and characters that you can relate to equals crying.

Add one more to the list, the wonderful score always gets me.
Bicentennial Man was another one that got to me.

I, too, was almost 50 at the time. I took my daughter, who was 10 or 11. Don't recall if she cried, but I certainly did! Love this movie. Love the story, love the visuals, love Sean Connery's voice/character, and find it very compelling as a "fairy tale" but at the same time a parable about the virtues of honor and integrity, man and "animal".
One could do a whole lot worse than to take a child to see this film, even now. While there is of course some early-on CGI involved, I do not think it detracts at all from the essential storyline. If you can believe in dragons, you can believe in them in any form. If you are really lucky, you can believe in what the dragons represent here and accept that they represent something noble and ageless.

I've read through all of the responses now, and I am amazed (and perhaps a little worried about myself) because so many of the responses were from people who saw it when they were children and cried. I was almost 50 when I sat there sobbing at the end

Did anyone NOT cry? The ending was inevitable and beautiful. The true perfect literary tragedy back through Dickens 'Tale of Two Cities' and on back to a certain well known cross.

I watched this movie a lot when I was younger, and it made me cry every time i watched it. Eventually i got over it, but i haven't watched in several years, and plan to do so again. Best prepare the tissue's.

The funny thing is I haven't seen this film in 11 years,11! I was 5 when I last saw it and I only just re-discovered this movie a few days ago.
I thought the movie sounded familiar and so I read the plot, once I got to the part where it described the ending I remembered the scene and started crying, hahaha.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a good copy of Dragonheart anywhere

Oh, yes. I cried a ton at the end of this. Draco's death is always heartbreaking for me, but as others have said, it's the musical score that really opens the floodgates for me.

Yep, every freaking time. This time, I just thought I'd make it through, and then there's this moment when all the lights burst into Draco's picture, and tears were flowing again.
I guess it just shows that we don't have a heart of stone ourselves ;-).

I also think it's the music mostly just as in Shawshank Redemption the music here works wonders. In fact, I believe the score of Dragonheart is even better than the movie itself.

Oh yes. I cried for sure lol. I was 6 when it came out. I also got teary for Terminator 2. XD

yep! could stop those tears rolling from my eyes!

really the question is who DIDN'T freakin cry at the end. the theme to the movie still makes me cry..and the end still makes me cry
