Personally I tend to enjoy sad movies because I'm "justified" in releasing pent up emotions. I'm releasing them over something that was intended to be sad and I'm not having "a pity party" then or overreacting to upsetting things. I've gotten to the point where I don't usually cry over stuff even when I want to (because I logically know I need the release) unless I'm already worn down physically as well as emotionally.
I think painful emotions help us appreciate their opposites more. When we experience joy it is sweeter because we KNOW what things could be like. I appreciate having hubby around more than ever because I almost lost him. It gives you contrast, something to compare to. Otherwise Joy and Happiness would be flat 2-dimesional emotions.
