War movies... barely excusable. If it's Pearl Harbor, you have to go fly your plane into a boat, though. If grampa died, then go ahead. He was a good man... still, it's a good thing he isn't here to see you cry during a movie.

When in doubt? Nod, knowingly. That communicates emotion, but in a really dispassionate way.
