Sometimes I Cry in Movies

Well, not literally in movies. But in situations where I'm watching movies, and something sad or really touching happens. Like a person with a heart.

I'm not a crier. Really I'm not. I'm the one rolling my eyes when my mom or best friend starts crying in some chick flick (it's usually my mom).

I don't cry....like ever.
Except for a couple of movies--the first time.
The following is a list (with comments) of movies that have made me cry. For those of you who are interested (so maybe my mom).
  • The Lion King (this one is like every time. since I first saw it. in 1994. I'd say when, but *spoilers*)
  • My Dog Skip (just when I was little, really.)
  • Top Gun (I almost cried just thinking about it today.)
  • Titanic (but totally not when everyone else does. Personally, I find ALL THE PEOPLE DYING much sadder than Jack *spoilers*spoilers*spoilers*)
  • Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (when Sam picks Frodo up. it wasn't in the book, but a great addition. only the first time, though.)
  • "The Body" from BTVS (okay not a film, but this episode of Buffy gets me every time. The whole way through is really just gross sobbing.)
  • "The Angels Take Manhattan"* from Doctor Who (again, not a film. but since we're doing TV shows, the last 15 minutes of this episode absolutely killed me. even though I basically knew what was coming. no spoilers, but if you're a DW fan, you know what I'm talking about.)
I'll add to this list later.

I tend to cry when I know something's going to happen in a movie, but I haven't seen the movie. (So like Top Gun and Titanic, and TATM especially.)

*I accidentally started to type "Angles" instead of "Angels"....but it totally works bc they're all Brits! lol.
