Tonight, Dave and I went out and saw Changeling. I'm not a big Angelina Jolie fan but she was good in this film as a single mother whose little boy disappears. I cried. I always do. A few months ago, I went on a Netflix tearjerker bender and saw The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Gone Baby Gone and Away From Her. Five-tissue movies, every one of them. My all-time favorite sobfest is Terms of Endearment, especially that scene when Debra Winger says goodbye to her two kids. I'm not one to cry in real life (well, other than the first year after Max was born), but I am perfectly content to lose it at the movies.
Which movies get you all weepy?
I cried at the end of The Shawshank Redemption, and I will confess to crying at the end of Beautiful (with Minnie Driver) even though I really shouldn't have, and I SOBBED at the end of the TV series Sports Night and the TV series Six Feet Under.
ReplyDeleteThe Notebook and all oof the other Nicholas Sparks books that have been made into movies.
ReplyDeleteout of africa. the end of that film gets me every time.
ReplyDelete"A Walk to Remember" really touched me. Basically, any movie that involves people in love who cannot be together (for whatever reason) always makes me cry.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is great! so fun to connect with you!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt could be any movie! I cry at the drop of a hat! Today we were watching old home movies of Jonathan, and it took every ounce of me not to sit there and sob!
ReplyDeleteI want to see Changeling so bad, but I don't have the guts! I will wait until I can rent it so I can cry at home!
I try to stay away from any movie that will make me cry in public because I DO NOT cry gracefully. Huge red nose, splotches and all so I'm with Sarah H. I'll rent.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you found me. I have been doing some back reading of your blog now too. Funny that we both have a Dave, an almost 6 year old with CP and a younger sister. My little girl will be 3 in 2 months. I'll keep reading and have added you as well : )
"My Life" with Michael Keaton does me in every time. He is dying of cancer but hoping he can hang on just long enough to see his baby born. The scene where he is videoing himself teaching his unborn son how to make pasta is heartwrenching.
ReplyDeleteI'm like Sarah H. I cry at the drop of a hat.
ReplyDeleteI cried watching the Lion King!
I rarely get to sit down a watch a whole film these days.
The last film I had a really good cry at was 'Brokeback Mountain'.
One of my favorites of all time - The Thorn Birds. It is the 25th anniversary this year and it is showing on Lifetime. Always makes me cry.
