I’m not sure I’ve ever cried in a theater - probably because I tend to choose comedies.

Gone with the Wind in 6th grade – we got confused by a Blues Brothers preview & wandered around the theater for a couple minutes trying to find the “right” theater until the actual movie started & we figured it out!
