Crying in Movies: Show me Your Tears

[allyndra]

On Saturday, we went to the video place and rented Holes (because my son just finished the book and adored it), Bridge to Terebithia (because he's been wanting to read the book), and Sydney White (because it was fluffy and had Danny Strong in it). We watched Holes and got started on Bridge to Terebithia, and it was all very nice. Then, Sunday morning, I awoke to find my son sobbing on the couch. He'd gotten up early and decided to finish Bridge to Terebithia without us, and he'd just gotten to the part where Leslie died. He hadn't ever seen a movie where a character he cared about, a sympathetic character who's given screen time to grow, died. Plus, she was just a kid, which I think hit him even harder.

Now, I cry in movies quite a bit, and so does my husband. I got to thinking, though, is that normal? Do y'all cry in films? If so, tell me:
1. Which movie do you love, even though it makes you cry?
2. Is there a movie you hate, but cry at anyway?

I cry at so many movies. If it can break my heart, I love it. So many fall into this category that it's hard to actually name them all.

A movie that I hate but makes me cry anyway... hmm. Wings of the Dove, I think. It's very pretty, but I don't actually like it.

I cry at a whole lot of movies. And books! I can sob my way through books. Which is interesting, becasue I'm not a terribly emotional person the rest of the time.

I've never seen Wings of the Dove. And judging from your reaction, maybe I don't want to. :o)
