Sometimes I get teary over movies that are not intrinsically sad, but which stir up nostalgia. I always cry over "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" because I can remember exactly when and where I saw it ( 16 at the drive in with my first "real" boyfriend) also "Milo and Otis" because animal movies ALWAYS reduce me to tears, God knows why, "Guys and Dolls" because it was the movie my brother took me to on his last leave home before he was killed. So. . . . whether or not I cry at movies is very much dependent upon the whole memory thing rather than the content.
