I have seen several people liking to go to a movie to cry. I think its ok if the story is good and you go once in a while but there are people who frequently do. What makes someone pay money to cry? I always prefer comedies.

I feel more deeply about tragedies. I love sad stories that are more realistic than most comedies.I always prefer to see Hamlet than There's Something About Mary.What I can't understand is paying to be scared.Why do people like horror films.

I prefer comedies to tragedies. I hate to see that comedies do not win any major awards.

I feel the same too mate. Comedies do not recieve the recognition they deserve. Have a nice day.

It seems that tragedies can be easily be great movies and leave a deep impression to people. For example, it's hardly for a comedy movie to win an Oscar Awards. As long as it's good movie, so that it will move your heart and make you shed tears.

I have no problem with a good movie. But i hate the fact that people dont recognise comedy as an art too and that it should also win awards.
