10 Have you ever cried at the movies? If so, what were you watching?

Pulp Fiction. The opening scene with honey bunny and her boyfriend just before they rob the diner.

She gets up and says "If any of you mother f****** move! I will execute every last f****** one of you!" and the music kicks in. It is the perfect start to a movie. I just got emotional.
