Personally, I love emotional shows, movies and music. I get so much more into whatever it is I'm watching or listening to when my emotions get involved. Many of my favorite shows and songs are quite emotional. I enjoy feeling sad, angry or excited for a character or person. I can connect with that character much better when I can empathize with them emotionally. And when I feel emotional over something that happens in a show or game, I feel more alive. Perhaps it's because I don't express too much emotion in my regular day-to-day life, and so being given a reason to express that emotion is a release of sorts. There are few moments in this life more pleasurable than the intense feeling of simple happiness that wells up in you immediately after crying over something very emotional. I watch the shows I watch just so that I may enjoy that feeling again.
