When I watch movies with sad happenings, I attempt to hold my "cry" in. I don't want to belly-cry in the middle of the theater. After a bit of holding it back, I start to get the "cry lump."
I try to massage it or pull at the skin near my throat, but it doesn't help. It's a cryin' shame that men have come to having pain in their throat, before they let themselves cry. I say, "Let it go, man. Have a good cry." Jesus wept.

What's the most recent case of this happening for you?
The last one for me was "I Am Sam." I left feeling pissed-off because it seemed like the producers were trying to manipulate me into crying (that rhymes and I hate myself). I had to hold in the cry for the last 30 minutes of that movie.
However, in the next few weeks, I'll begin to watch "Field of Dreams," which is what I do every as the baseball season nears to process the grief of my Grandpa's death (we shared a love of baseball). I watch it as I fall asleep, and if I stay awake long enough to see the end, it's full on sobbing.
Frickin' bullcrap.
The Pursuit of Happyness. It happened when something good happened to the dad. Caused a big cry lump.
...i cried when they put Old Yeller down...
Off an on during The Return of the King . . . also when the Riders of Rohan attacked the enemy against insurmountable odds in The Two Towers.
i was crying by the time harry was stuck by frozen urine to lloyd's back in dumb and dumber.
seriously, though, i am pretty susceptible to this stuff. believe it or not, i can get suckered by anything that involves people getting picked on for almost anything (size, skin color, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) somehow i still leave as jaded and cynical as i came in, so i guess it doesn't mean much other than a simple "in the moment" reaction.
