You know I HATE that movie . . . it was horribly. I know it was bad when my mother said, Kate Winslet should jump so we could go to dinner. lol

Did you ever read Kenneth Turan's review of Titanic in the LA Times. You will love it.

http://articles.latimes.c...ment/ca-39

No I never read Mr. Turan's review.

Oh where oh where was the man to bring a lot of folks back to reality? lol Spot-on review.

If anyone wants to see Titanic please look at the 1957 version of the film.

Dancer in the Dark

I don't think I've ever cried as hard at anything as I did through that film. It was all I could do not to sob out loud in the theatre and one of my friends actually WAS crying out loud.

I watched it once more on dvd and just cried and cried and cried since I was alone.

Admittedly, though, I'm an easy cry. Just about anything can make me tear up, whether out of joy or sadness. I'll even cry over a song or painting I think is beautiful and I routinely cry over news casts.

I refuse to watch that mad I cried myself sick during Breaking the Waves, I hate Lars Von Trier now, for all that emotional manipulation!! hmph!

El Orfanato killed me

Sam I Am or I am Sam or whatever it's called

LOADS of others

I cry when kids are abandoned by their parents mainly, or parents lose a child/baby.

Summertime, Brief Encounter, Now, Voyager, Umberto D - haven't seen, but I'll check them out!

I know someone has got to know a movie that can make me cry!

Hmm....maybe I am heartless. sad

I'm like the Tin Man here...

You didn't cry at the Lion King???? whofarted

Heartless I tell ya! spank

For me, crying is largely tied to PMS. Depending on the time of the month I can cry at commercials. bawl

That ASPCA commerical with Sarah MacLachlan fucks me up e'ry damn time. cry

nod I can't even watch that ASPCA commercial, with all of those sad looking cats and dogs on there. I change the channel now when it comes on, because if I don't, I start crying right away.

RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

There is a really old movie that came out (back in the 70's), I think it was called "Eric". It was about a young guy who gets leukemia, and winds up dying. The scene that really makes me cry is when Eric is lying on his death bed, and his sister is there with him. She keeps telling him, "You're almost there, Eric. You're almost there". That and the really sad song that they have playing in the background makes me cry every damn time.

I remember when I was watching this movie with my mom, and this scene came on. I started crying like a baby (something I don't do a whole lot of around my mom). My mom looked at me like, "What got into you?" lol lol

Nobody seems to remember this movie though, except me. I need to find it at a movie rental place.

RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Yeah my daughter and I placed friendly bets on how long it would take her mom to cry at that scene. Less than ten seconds in.

Of course, her mom also wanted to cry because she lost the window to the dollhouse she and my daughter were building. My daughter, she was probably busy thinking about the text she would send a little later asking me if I could add "Jaws" to the Netflix queue for her. I love that kid.

That is such a good movie! I just watched it a couple of months ago. So powerful, and yet understated. So sad that Elizabeth Hartman, who played Selina in the movie, committed suicide years later by jumping out her 5th floor apartment window.

Brian's Song

touched nod

Back in the day, our school took us on a class trip to Radio City Music Hall to see "Brian's Song". The idea was that they wanted to promote racial unity among the Black & White students. IT WORKED! Not a dry eye in the theater. We were ALL arm in arm leaving the theater that day.

Even today, I can't hear that theme song without getting teary eyed, lol. James Caan and Billy Dee Williams worked that movie!

I remember when I saw "Ghost" with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, I was wiping away tears on the down low for blocks as I walked home from the theater.

That is kind of what my problem is...

Not that I am trying not to cry, but during the

sad parts I start analyzing the quality of the acting

which totally takes me away from the emotional

pull of the storyline.

And good for you, silkylee - for admitting you are

in touch with your sensitive side! razz

I got teary-eyed on that episode of E.R. where Dr. Greene (Anthony Edwards) finally dies from his brain cancer and they played that stupid "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" song as done by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.

Saddest movie ever - Make Way For Tomorrow

I watched this last week, then watched an interview with Peter Bogdanovich about the movie. He said he was talking to Orson Welles once and asked him if he was familiar with a movie called Make Way For Tomorrow. Welles replied, "Oh, my god - that's the saddest movie ever made! It could make a stone cry!"

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Surely if can make a stone cry, then it will work on me, right? lol

But what would it mean if it doesn't make me cry??

I'm kinda scared to watch it and find out that my

emotional capacity is worse than a rock's!

That movie has been sitting on my shelf, still in it's case, still sealed in it's original plastic shrink-wrap, since the day it came out on DVD, UNWATCHED, because I know it's going to be so sad, lol. I don't know WHEN I plan on watching it. Same thing with "Schindler's List", still in shrink-wrap, unopened , sitting on my shelf, never watched, lol.

Actually, I have about a dozen unopened, unwatched movies sitting on my shelf for the same reason, lol.
