I honestly can't choose between books and music.

But movies are way far behind either, in my mind.

What an absurd question.

Thanks pal. I tend to ignore comments like that, but it's refreshing to hear someone else voicing my own thoughts. Big smile

Albums. Easily.

Tearing up as we speak over a song I've been listening to for a while now and just took out the lyrics. Cry

Books definitely. And the writing styles of Thomas Harris and Jon Krakauer top the list.
Music and movies - too many variables thrown in (actors, directors, musicians, producers, etc,)
Books - the writer and your imagination  (okay, the editor - but that's only one)

though I listen to much more music and watch much more movies, a good book is still the most affecting medium for me

There is some music which can make me cry too, like for example the fourth movement of Mahler's ninth symphony. And Bach makes me cry for sheer beauty. But nothing compares to some tears I shed when reading books. When I read how little Nell died in Dicken's "The Old Curiosity Shop", for example - I wept like a waterfall then.

You never cried with a movie? Shocked
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN OLD YELLER OR GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES?!?!?! Shocked
 
I mainly watch comedies so I don't really watch heart-wrenching movies LOL

Watch Grave of the Fireflies and be prepared to cry like a baby. Saddest movie I've ever seen. Cry
Am I terrible because that didn't make me cry, but I did "sexy cry" over Toy Story 3?  It did have a very profound effect on me, though, more so than almost any other film.

All three.

Only a few instances of any of them have ever made me cry, though. I admit, being moved to tears via art is...ethereal for me.

Sling Blade and Grave of the Fireflies do it, for films.

Flowers for Algernon did it for literature

And Tom Wait's Small Change did it.

Nothing ever comes close to Supper's Ready or Close to the Edge.
Music then books and movies a few times.

The people who say that they didn't cry at that movie are the ones who cried the hardest. LOL
