When it comes to movies, it takes a lot to get my eyes watery. I am usually too analytical about plot lines, style, and character development to actually feel emotions about the particular scene. So when I do feel that outpour coming on, it has to be an intensely moving situation. Strangely enough, it was actually an animated movie that brought me to my emotional "knees". In the movie, "The Lion King", during the scene when Mufasa gets killed in the stampede in the ravine, and little Simba comes and tries nudging him awake, as his tears began, so did mine. I sat and cried like a baby getting their first shot. When he crawls under the giant paw of his dead father to find some comfort, I was searching for an extra box of tissue. Kudos to the people of Disney for making me feel like a kid again!
