    "One of my favorites was when I saw the live-action Beauty and the Beast in theaters opening weekend. A little girl next to me gasped incredibly loudly and yelled, 'She is going to get a cold! She isn’t wearing her coat and there’s snow on the ground!' when Belle rode away from the castle to go help her father. I died laughing, but she had a point!"

    3. When Black Panther and Spider-Man are dusted in Avengers: Infinity War:

    "I remember during one of the screenings I went to for Infinity War, I had two little boys behind me, and when Black Panther and Spider-Man would come on screen, they would say, 'Black Panther, he’s my favorite!' Or 'Spider-Man, he’s my favorite!' When Thanos snapped, and the dusting began, I could hear them crying, and their mom trying to console them. That gutted me."

    "I went to see Planes when I was 9, and the moment when Dusty almost collides with the train in the tunnel, a little kid (probably 6 or 7) screamed 'NO!!!!' Now whenever I watch it, I scream 'NO' and no one understands 😂😂😂."

    "When Hans says, 'Oh Anna, if only there were someone out there who loved you' as we all thought he was leaning in to kiss her. The whole theater gasped so loudly, and one little girl, maybe 10 or 11, stood up and started yelling at the screen while her mom was trying to calm her down. Haven't seen a reaction like that before or since."

    "I saw Tangled in theaters and when Flynn 'dies,' you could tell everyone in the audience was trying not to cry. Then one little girl shouts at the top of her lungs, 'IM. SO. SAD.' It was so cute and pitiful, I think it helped a lot of people suck those tears back in."

    "There was a little kid next to me, and as the really emotional Anna moment started, she whispered loudly to the adult she was with, 'I need a poo.' That spoiled the emotional moment for me, but most of the theater laughed...including me."

    "When I was 11, I went and saw Jurassic Park 3 in theaters with my stepdad and brother. The part when they get over the fence and the dino looks like it's going to leave, just to suddenly smash through the fence — at the moment he broke through with debris flying everywhere, my stepdad threw popcorn at me and it startled me so bad that I screamed, causing a few other people around me to scream as well. My stepdad and brother were dying of laughter and I got a few glares for myself."

    "I've gotta say, watching New Moon in a theater of other 14-year-olds was WILD. There was insane giggling and shrieks every time he came on screen. There's one point where he takes off his shirt and Bella says, 'Wow, you're sorta beautiful,' and I remember a girl in my theater screamed, 'SORTA??'"

    "I remember going to see A Walk to Remember in theaters with my family. I was a 'too cool' teen who was terrified of just generally showing emotion. I held it in for so long, but when Landon broke down in tears to his dad, I let out what can only be described as a guttural sob. I was instantly embarrassed, but my sob literally broke the floodgates and I immediately heard cries all around the theater."

    17. And, finally, when Rey thinks she blew up the ship that Chewbacca was on in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker:

    "I was at the midnight first showing and I could not understand why a family brought a little 4- or 5-year-old girl to the show. When everyone thought Chewie was dead, there was shocked silence until we heard a high little voice ring out from the back. She said in her loud but tiny clear voice, 'Oh Mama, not Chewie, not Chewie, Mama no' then WE ALL SOBBED AS ONE AND CHEERED OUR BUTTS OFF WHEN HIS FATE WAS REVEALED. She was the loudest of all."
