The first time I cried in a movie was junior year in high school. Unfortunately, I saw this movie in History class, Sergeant York. Immediately after watching this movie, we watched Yankee Doodle Dandy, where I cried again. Crying in school was not ideal, but luckily the lights were out and half the class was asleep. Both were proud and patriotic movies, where I cried out of happiness (and both won their leading actors an Oscar). The next movie I really cried in was of a similar tone, A Few Good Men. Are you seeing the theme for my future? I must have at the age of 17.
After all those (and a few others along the way), the movie I cried the most in was a recent one…Stranger than Fiction. As in the other movies, this was a happy cry. This was one of best movies I have seen in years. It may have gotten away from the patriotic military theme, but it caught another theme for me — I watched it on the plane.
