No one, and I mean no one, cries more at movies than I do. Well, maybe Aimee, my daughter. Or David, who has been known to weep buckets at certain tearjerkers. No, I'm the reigning champ at movie hiccuping, snotty, salt-encrusted eyelids, red-faced sobbing. This also happens when I read emotion-inducing books. I'm a sap, what can I say? Nobody loves me any less for my shortcomings; in fact, some might say it's slightly endearing.
So, without further ado, here is one hundred of the movies that have caused me to cry. Yes, you heard right, there are more.
