When I had to go to my grandmother's funeral (a year ago this Saturday, actually), I actually cried because I felt so painfully awkward being surrounded by my grieving family and not even knowing how to act. That was one of the worst experiences I've ever had.

... ...

To add to what I said earlier, I actually find it weird that I'm so emotional. For some reason, I don't feel it fits with the rest of my personality. Or it seems a bit like my logical side and emotional side avoid eachother, or otherwise simply disagree. That probably sounds stupid, but whatever.

To follow up on this, something happened earlier this year which surprised me: I cried at my grandmother's funeral. I had never felt sadness at any other funeral that I've attended, but I did at that one. I think it was the fact that I felt a connection with her - i.e. I have Asperger's Syndrome and she seemed to share many traits with me. As i think about her now, I actually feel like crying again. I can see her face and her soft voice and stuff... and the lead up to her death. Oh well...

I did not see Passion of the Christ, but it was a controversial movie when it was released into cinemas. The Irish Catholic church said bad things about it, but if you read the news recently, then you'll read many bad things about the Irish CAtholic church themselves...

Chucky, loosing a granparent is always hard moreover if there was a special connection with him or her.

Wow, with this movie were lots of controverses, mainly in Jewish community. Mel Gibson gives a version of The Passion based on Torino Holy Shroud researches. It´s obvious that Jews are not well viewed in this movie, but at the end, it´s only the vision of an author.

"House of Sand"

"The Fox and the Child"

"Duma"

I'm sure there are others. I just can't recall them right now.

Bambi doesn't make me cry, but it does get to me. Nearly any Disney movie that's supposed to be touching can at least make me tear up.

There are a few movies that make me all-out bawl, but I can't think of any of them just now. Oh, wait: Schindler's List, The Pianist, um, others in that same vein (docudramas, not Holocaust).

And I pretty much lost it after seeing the final episode of Robin Hood (with Jonas Armstrong).

When I was watching a beautiful mind it kind of made me upset. But really nothing makes me cry.

I didn´t cry with this movie but it seemed to me a marvellous movie. I felt some kind of hope at the end of the movie.

If i might inquire, what aspects of A Beautiful Mind upset you?
It upsets me as well.
