Dumbo? Every single time.

Disneyland commercials are the worst (for getting all teary). Last year there was a commercial with a man sitting on a bench and I can't really remember what the voice over was saying but when the scene panned out he was sitting next to his little sister at Disneyland. Beautiful, I teared up every time.

Maybe this should go in the confessional thread but I used to tear up watching Milo and Otis. Lame I'm sure. Just the thought of the little guys getting lost and trying to find their way home killed me. Not to mention we had an orange kitty and a pug at the time.

Mercy. I'm such a crier.

Tom and I have been watching a lot of Queer Eye, and every time somebody makes a weepy declaration of love (which is a lot) I seem to get misty.

I first saw the commercial with the glass slipper proposal while in World of Disney in Orlando. It was on the big screen, and we looked up and watched because it was something other than the usual sing-along songs. When I realized what was inside the shoebox, the faucet started-- and I looked over at my dad, whose faucet was leaking, too!

The "you don't talk to me in that way anymore" commercial with the Donald Duck "I love you" is one of my very favorites. I miss it! Every time I couldn't help but have of those snicker-turns-into-all-out-sobbing moments.

Songs also get to me. It was the plan on Valentine's Day to be ironic and detatched (we wanted to separate romance from Hallmark so we'd celebrated earlier) but that got canned after I listened to somebody's emotional dedication of "A Dream is a Wish You Heart Makes" that morning. By the time we listened to Ben Folds' "The Luckiest" that night, I was a puddle of Heidi.

Hmm. All of these are related to Disney and/or love. Often both.

I'm a big baby when it comes to weepy moments in movies. Which is why I don't watch a lot of dramas. I end up getting annoyed that I'm such a wreck. You should've seen me watching Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet in the theaters. I nearly drowned.

Those Disney commercials really do get to me, though I've yet to really tear up at them. The new ones about the "amazing 50th celebration", not so much.

Ahhh...the Shoe Commercial...We were in a Disney store and the clerk made a point of making me watch it...and handed me a tissue when it was over! (nice Disney magic there...)

I'll cry at just about any sappy movie! Or TV show..doesn't matter...show me some sappiness...I'm reaching for the tissue!

Anything to do with animals ir peril or lost or reunited or let go in the wild gets me going. Whenever there is an animal in a film where something destressing happens, I'm always more worried about the animal than the humans. It started with Bambi and a recent viewing of Charlie the Lonesome Cougar confirmed I react the same as I did when I was 6.

I cried when North Carolina won the NCAA tournament on Monday night. Bawled like a baaaaaby!!! On my knees about a foot from the TV screen. So happy. I had been so tense....once I released my tension, the tears came. Partly because I remember the 1982 win like it was yesterday, and I remember every single thing about their 1993 win (on April 5th...my dad's bday).....and then I realize that those games were SO long ago.....and I'm so old now.

That tournament and UNC are so in my blood that I'm a TV zombie for weeks and then go through massive basketball withdrawals for a while.

But this year, for some reason, One Shining Moment did NOT make me cry. It usually does.

The Champ, Field of Dreams, The Passion of the Christ , and The Fox and the Hound are the only movies where I "lost it". Many other movies and TV commercials have, however, given me lumps in my throat

I cry reading, watching tv, and watching movies, probably more than I do crying about things in my own life. Sometimes it’s cathartic, like I’m crying about something in a film that could easily be applied to my own life, etc. But usually that’s why I’ll cry listening to song that moves me.

But if I’m really affected by what I’m reading or watching, I will sob. I mean, SOB. I have to be left alone. I can’t keep it in. This has happened:

1. Movies: The very end of The Fox and the Hound. (My brother lost it in Top Gun, when Goose died.), Edward Scissorhands (I can watch that without crying now, but I’ve seen it a billion times), The Elephant Man (sobbed for three hours after watching that one, but in my defense, I was raggin’ it big time), Awakenings, The Professional, and probably many more.

2. TV Shows: The Wonder Years, at least once during every single effin’ episode, I cried hard (but contained it in front of Heidi as best I could) at the end of LOST last night (mostly because of poor Jack and Shannon), many a Buffy episode had me on my knees with grief, and probably many more.

3. Books: The Lovely Bones, The Secret History, The Rats of Nihm all had me in hysterics. Fetal position hysterics.

4. Songs: Don't usually make me sob, but Cohen's Famous Blue Raincoat gets me teary eyed sometimes, and Bowie's "tell my life I love her very much..." DAMMIT BOWIE!
