#9: Name a film that made you cry in the cinema

I find it funny that this meme topic specified in the cinema, as if to say it didn't care about what you did at home with your DVDs.

Well, the earliest film I remember crying at was All Dogs Go to Heaven. I was seven at the time. I pretended to my mum that I had something in my eye, which was just lame-o.

Now I'm quite unashamed of showing emotion. The one thing that will generally set me off is when a character tries really hard to do something, get somewhere, achieve something and s/he fails. But then I also cry with joy when they succeed.

I also get weepy at plot points that involve a great sacrifice (not a physical one, generally an emotional one, and especially one that is made altruistically without other characters knowing about it).

So I'm surprisingly weepy. The last few films that set me off were: Griff the Invisible, Boy, and Departures.
