True.
Peter Falk was great. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I've seen that movie at least a dozen times - and that line gets me every damn time. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

The 1934 version is better. Isn't it, johnart? We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

You know that's right. By miles! | |

I mean...the 1959 is Douglas Sirk - so it's gorgeous and all. But the story is much better in the original.
And Fredi Washington was just stunning as Peola.

It would probably be easier to list the ones that don't make me cry. I shed a tear way to easily with a sad storyline. The last movie I saw that made my cry was Despicable Me.
I cry far too easily. I even cried watching Supernanny this morning. | |

[Edited 1/17/11 8:16am] This is "Imitation of Life"? I haven't seen it. | |

It's the original version from 1934. Well worth seeking out. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

(the invisible cloak scene in this gets me every time ) | |

Well there's so much visual style, angst, insanity, and brutal humor in the movie, that I just don't get to a really sad state of mind as much as a shell shocked one.

I remember tearing up when I saw Seven Pounds in the movies too. Edward Scissorhands is sad also...esp. the ending of that movie. I have to be in the mood to watch it. | |

I have such a love/hate thing going on with that dumb movie. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
It's the music. Had it been "Talk Dirty To Me" you wouldn't have cried. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I know. I want to hate it because it's ssssoooooooo sappy - and nowhere near as good as The Shop Around the Corner (1940 Ernst Lubitsch with Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart). But it sucks me in every time. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I feel better knowing I'm not the only one. (I have a good friend who's the same way. Bonus: My friend does an awesome impression of Meg Ryan typing that always makes me giggle and nearly spit out my drink.)
Another bonus: Meg's apartment in the movie is in my late brother's building on W. 89th. His apartment was scouted but deemed too small, so they went with another one in the building. And that park is right nearby, and I love to walk through it. So I feel a somewhat sentimental attachment to the film on top of all the rest of the love/hate I feel for it. | |

I love that! Romantic movie set in a real-life familiar park would likely send me over the edge as well.

Dances with Wolves when the animals are killed. I won't watch that movie all the way through again.
I cried all the way though The Passion of the Christ
Any movie based on a Nicholas Sparks book -Damn him
Terms of Endearment
I get so emotional I try not to watch movies that I know are going to make me cry.
I cried in the last two Harry Potter movies UGH and I know I will cry in the next one.
