The movies
Cool Running
Jerry Maguire
Hitch

always make me cry. So I watch them alone.
There are other movies, some songs, but songs don't always make me cry.

I did cry the first time I heard 'When Doves Cry', I was so happy for Prince.
I knew it was going to be huge.

One thing I forgot. My ex- who died last month, gave me a teddy bear (here I go . . . ) that plays 'You are My Sunshine.' He played it the last time I saw him.
The bear sits on my dresser facing my bed but I play it less than once a year.
It's always been too painful and now more so.

I forced Rich to watch some of it the other day and HE FELL ASLEEP! He said it was and I qoute " A suckfest, even before a vampire showed up."

I tried to tell him Angel is better, but he won't even watch one episode.

He does sit through Supernatural each week though... so I'll I can't complain too much.

ET

angelcat said:

do you cry when ET leaves or when he arrives?

ZombieKitten said:

when he leaves.
i still can't watch it without crying.

angelcat said:

when I was a kid I cried when he left, now if I watch it, I bawl when he is accidentally left on earth, thinking how bewildered he must feel, and also knowing all the shit he is about to go through, like nearly dying and stuff

I cry when anyone in a movie is abandoned - that movie A.I. when the mother leaves him in the forest, actually THAT is a scene that I can't cope with

ZombieKitten said:

i haven't seen AI, but i can relate to the abandonment, things like that really get me.

also, i cried buckets after i watched 'the bridges of madison county' i spent ages afterwards thinking about how so many people live their lives out of duty.

angelcat said:

is it because we are mothers? I don't remember feeling so strongly before I had kids.
in I am Sam, the only part I cried was when the child's mother ran off from the hospital in the beginning - I was SOOOO upset at that!
Haven't seen Bridges of Madison County - is it a good movie?

ZombieKitten said:

i was always sensitive but def more so since i had the sprogs.

i thought bridges was good, i love Meryl Streep. I couldn't bring myself to watch I am Sam because i knew it would upset me.

.....i can't afford to cry.


but, this one ought to get ya.....

angelcat said:

I'll look out for it!
Have you seen Sophie's Choice? I don't think I could watch that one

KidaSaurusRx said:

wow....you know, at first I was laughing at this thinking this ain't gonna make me cry, and I almost clicked away, but I kept watching and although it didn't make me cry it certainly gave me goose bumps a few times. That was pretty cool, thanx for sharing it.

ZombieKitten said:

there is no way i could watch that. things that are based on real events break my heart. the cruelty involved in making someone choose between their kids is horrible to contemplate.
i couldn't watch 'schindlers list' for more or less the same reasons.

angelcat said:

angelas ashes made me really upset, our boy was 18 months old at the time, we could not imagine waking up to find him in our bed, not having made it through the night like one of the twins

ZombieKitten said:

That's the worst thing I've ever seen in my life! How could anyone ever choose between their children, and watch one of them walk away....It's never left me... it's evil personified!

Jeffiner said:

people are capable of horrible cruelty to one another.

angelcat said:

yeah do they have no soul?

ZombieKitten said:

just following orders m'am

ZombieKitten said:

just following orders m'am

angelcat said:

In that case, they didn't see the Jews as 'people' at all, they would do something like that, just for sadistic fun, and often have children of their own at home, unbelievable!

Jeffiner said:

no they didn't at all
