Sounds like me laughing during Ring 2, and then realizing I was the only person in the place laughing out loud.

Oh, good lord. I am in agreement 100%. I only catch the Monday "How'd They Do That," but even that brings me to tears every week. It's so sad. I'm a sap.

I'm watching my favorite sad movie right now. Donnie Darko. Gets me every time.

sounds like me during the opening scene of 28 days later with the caged monkeys. sorry, folks, but monkeys aren't scary. monkeys are always cute and/or funny. i tried desperately to suppress my uproarious laughter.

So I saw Sin City today. I almost cried twice, both with scenes involving Nancy. 1st time right before the scene cut to the next story, 2nd time with her in the hospital.

Best movie Ive seen in years, felt like an old film Noir movie.

In a word yes. I haven't read the comic, but I've been told by a co-worker that is pretty good with staying with the story/concept of it. Probably something to do with Frank Miller being one of the directors. There are some good suprises in the casting, people you wouldn't think of playing a role far outside their normal spectrum. If you are a fan of violence, there's plenty of it. Fan of t&a, there's a decent amount without making it a skin flick, or having the character's naked (or nearly naked) for no apparent reason. The bar scenes good have been a little longer, but when a character's drinking is interupted, apropriate messures are taken.

I cry at movies that have heart-wrenching romantic plots . . .

Dr. Zhivago
Age of Innocence

basically, any movie in which the characters are soul-mates / in love and can't be together

Oh, and Schindler's List, but who doesn't cry at a Holocaust movie??
