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?

Yay for my psychic powers! :o)

In Four Weddings and a Funeral, it is the part at the funeral. I do like the movie, but I hate Andy McDowell in it. Lately, I mute the TV when she's on, and unmute for the rest of the film.

Two Towers, yes, and Return of the King. The part where Frodo believes Gollum and leaves Sam. And the part at the end, where everyone kneels down around the hobbits.

Also, Rent and What Dreams May Come.
