Yup, I cry in movies all too easily and often. My most recent total sobfest was at the final Harry Potter movie when Harry goes into the forest prepared to die and sees his family. I sobbed from that point through the end of the movie. Part of it for me was the end of story that has been so much a part of my life for more than ten years (as if that is an excuse).<br /><br />I also cried st Savannah Smiles and I Am Sam along with a couple of total chic flicks you may or may not have seen, Beaches and Steel Magnolias. <br /><br />Sometimes a good cry isn't a bad thing.LeAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671312831056358627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-3613584231532323352012-05-15T09:36:28.774-06:002012-05-15T09:36:28.774-06:00I agree with Candice. I cry way too easily. Yester...I agree with Candice. I cry way too easily. Yesterday, I got all teary watching Once Upon a Time when Emma kissed her son and broke the curse. How lame is that? However, my favorite weepy moment is in Sense and Sensibility. I love it because it's the rare cryle (where you cry out of happiness). The scene at the end where Hugh Grant tells Emma Thompson that he's not married. Thompson does this hiccoughy thing and then starts sobbing. Then she looks up at him with this gloriously tear streaked smile. Gets me every freakin' time. Most resentful crying in a movie is at the end of Titanic when Cameron pans on all the dead people in the water, including a mother clutching her frozen baby. Actually, I think that moment was so over the top manipulative that I actually stopped crying to shake my head in embarrassment that the director actually stooped so low.Wifey Maynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-77392036227018578772012-05-15T09:18:57.304-06:002012-05-15T09:18:57.304-06:00I cry for movies.

That was a good show. <br /><br />I also cry when I read certain books...Okay, so I'm an overly sensitive woman who gets WAY too attached to fictional characters.
