Ironically I cry more at movies and TV than I do for myself (yeah, working that through with my therapist...).
I think I'm in the same boat as others here, I like to be moved by something and if the emotion that is evoked is sadness then that's just as valid as laughter or excitement. One of the things I used to like about Six Feet Under so much was that it made you connect with the characters so much that you were really emotionally involved in their lives, and I frequently went from laughter to tears in the space of one episode. They were good tears though.
