Oh, Mr. Darcy.
Me: *reading a comment from this ONTD post* "My dad cries at BBC Jane Austin adaptations..."
Brian: "That chick was weird."
Me: *headtilt?*
Brian: "I think she just wanted to fuck a bunch of monkeys."
Me: *looooooong pause* "What?"
Brian: "Yeah, isn't sh-- Oh. That's Goodall. Nevermind."
Me: "Wow. Just...wow."

ETA: That post got my thinking: What movies make you cry?
The first one I cried at was The Little Mermaid. I was maybe five and it was the first movie I saw in the theater, so the whole thunderstorm/ginormous Ursula scene scared the crap out of me. And then the next one I remembered was Anastasia, at the end, and I refused to accept that I cried at it.
I cry really easy now at film. The Exorcist when I first saw it at age 16 has me nearly paralyzed with tears of fear and Big Fish, OH GOD DAMMIT, BUCKETS.
I cry with books, too. I've read The Westing Game more times than I can count and I always cry at the end. And the entire last book of Chrono Crusade was read with great big wrenching sobs. Lordy, that book was heart-wrenching...
