38.4 What movies make you cry?
It'd be more accurate to ask me what movies don't make me cry these days. The short answer is "Everything". The longer answer isn't really less confusing, and centers, more or less, on what manages to push my buttons.
Movies, especially dramas, with children getting hurt or losing a parent are guaranteed to make me weepy the rest of the night. And by "getting hurt", I mean either getting picked on bullies, kidnapped, killed, used as a plot point, and the ones that end up orphans are the worst.
Action movies can also make me weepy, simply because I start picturing the extras who tend to get caught up in the "action" portions and killed as having family of some sort, and picturing a small child wondering where "Daddy" or "Mommy" went is enough to start the sniffles.
So, really, anything aside from children's television and those animated Disney movies, with the exception of Dumbo, are enough to make me cry at the drop of a hat.
