Movies

Post by awelker »

Okay so i got the Notebook the other day in the mail and i was like wow this is an awsome movie. i loved it when it first came out and now i owned it. well ever since i've gotten it i have been trying to get my mom to watch it with me. we finally did. the entire time we were watching it she did nothing but ask me questions about it. I'm sitting there crying cuz i know what happens. well in the end we are both sitting there crying.

what other movies have made you cry?

You know Alli, while I really enjoyed The Notebook, it's a beautiful film of a very beautiful story, it didn't make me cry like it seems to make everyone else.

The one that really does have me howling buckets (well, other than Toy Story :oops: ) is The Colour Purple. That one rips my heart to pieces every time I watched it... and I've seen it a lot, oh a lot of times.

I always cry in The Notebook, too. My grandma has Alzheimer's and it's tough to watch my grandpa cope with having the love of his life slip away from him. So this movie definately breaks my heart =(

I also cried in The Patriot, The Pursuit of Happyness and Return to Me. I know there are more, but those are the ones that are coming to me right now.

but yea the Notebook is a killer

i also teared for:
Dead Poets Society ("O Captain, My Captain.")
Pay it Foward (the kid gets stabbed!)
Field of Dreams (omg saddddd guy playing catch with ghost, enough said)
Good Will Hunting (that whole "it's not your fault" part)
Remember the Titans (um when the kid is paralysed)
Pearl Harbor (it's Pearl Harbor)
Armageddon (when bruce willis is gonna give up his life for the kid)
Tristan and Isolde (medium sadness level)

apparently im a big crier tho i don't consider myself very emotional at all lol i guess movies do it to me

Oh how could I forget Dead Poets Society? That's one of my favourite movies of all time, and I howl buckets. In fact, any of Robin Williams' "serious" movies do that to me. Good Morning Vietnam, Patch Adams, Awakenings, The Fisher King....

I wasn't as fussed on that one Derek. It was ok, but I've enjoyed others more, you know?

But yes, it did make me cry!

You know, I must be the only Gen Xer in the Western World who hasn't seen any of the Star Wars movies!

Linda you've got an excuse, you're not a Gen Xer. For us Xers it's like it's expected of us or something.

And Alli, no, I haven't lived under a rock, I chose not to see it because I don't need to feel like a sheep and do something every other person in the Western World has done, just because "everyone's seen it."
