I don't scream at all but I usually don't jump in scary movies or cry in emotional ones because it's just a movie =3 but it effects me though, because like after watching Paranormal Activity I went all over paranoid when I was alone in the house. but there was a few and very rare times I was near crying in very good melancholic movies about tragedy of a family (you know what kind of movies that is) but I don't cry because I'm with my boyfriend or i don't like to cry. :L

Inception gave me chills and goose bumps at the climax.

Your conception gave your mom chills and goose bumps at the climax.

Well, I mean, I imagine so.

I'm pathetic when it comes to scary movies. I jump at everything and have to put full concentration into not screaming like a little girl (at the theatre, at home I just let it out:). The Crazies got me plenty of times, and I've completely freaked playing fallout 3 -_-

I almost never jump at scary movies. As LF said, games are a different story. I do get emotional reactions, though; Requiem for a Dream made me feel like the world is shittier than I originally thought. But other than that... Eh.

Btdubs, neglected to mention that I get much more involved in books. Never cried about a movie, totally sort of cried over a few books. Teared up, anyway.

Other than laughter, not much. I don't watch terribly many movies, though.

You can choose to involve yourself in a movie, feel for the main character, etc, or you can choose to be a douchebag and crack jokes about teal and orange and whenever some character's line sounds awkward. You can also do a lot of other fun things, like cheering for the main character to die in a horror movie, which turns the whole thing comedic. I find that a whole lot of movies change their overall tone based on which characters you intentionally empathize with. That's why I like Kurt Vonnegut so much: there are no antipathetic characters.

That isn't purely directed at you, more at all the 'movies don't do anything for me' crew.

I yelled "Yeah! Yeah!" when Machete jumped his minigun-laden motorcycle over exploding gas canisters while shooting rednecks at the movie theater last night. Last time I cried while watching something was the last episode of the last season of Slings and Arrows as King Lear carries his daughter onstage. I got shivers writing this, remembering that.

Nicole is in the other room, bawling while watching The Laramie Project.

I cry more readily from songs than from movies. Although I don't really remember ever crying from a movie in the first place. Songs, definitely.
