Things that make you cry

Like many others, I use online chats to stay in touch with the friends who are too distant for frequent visits. Below is a slightly edited transcript of one such session with my friend who chose to remain anonymous, so I will just call her Genevieve V. Conversation started with the subject of movies that make us cry. And like every conversation of things dramatic, it quickly turned to Futurama.Genevieve (talking about the movie version of V): also, the music rocked. I cried, dude, just because of the music. You play sad music and show me the Care Bears on top, I'll still cry. Pavlovian.Me: I know what you mean; for me, it's dead/dying/sad animals, and I KNOW I'm being manipulated and yet, can't help it. There's a Futurama episode Chris doesn't let me watch anymore because I always cry for hours afterwards.Genevieve: OH GOD. Just thinking about it I want to cry. "Jurassic Bark." Uncontrollable sobs.Me: I KNOW!!!! And they used the music from "Cherbourg Umbrellas". Which is like an added layer of Pavlovian sobbing.Genevieve: It's PAINFUL.Me: On the other hand, I am totally using this conversation as fodder for my guest-blogging stint.Genevieve: "Crying like a tiny child: a primer."Me: "Cartoon animals: they will rip your heart out and stomp on it."So, what unlikely things make you cry? Movies, books, TV, Futurama episodes?
