Getting "emotional" during movies-that you think why am I getting upset over this ???

Ok . these damn horse movies .

What is up with that ?

I do not own a horse . I have only been to horse racing like 4 times in my life ...

yet - when i watch "secretariot " or "seabiscuit " i get all teary eyes !!!????

is this my feminine side coming out ?

Seriously , I dont get it . I know the story , have seen both movies a few times ... yet I find myself getting all emotional at certain parts .... today it wasnt even a sad part ... but . sheesh . maybe it is my time of the month ...

W T H ...

confused confused

Colonel Angus may be smelly. colonel angus may be a little rough . but deep down ... Colonel angus is very sweet.

The sex thing is crazy, isn't it? But lol Good Lord... in general I am more emotionally healthy when I get it on a regular. Otherwise I am a blubbering mess in any movie... last time I was an absolute mess was in Million Dollar Baby... snot and everything. disbelief

"Warhorse" was, IMO, HORRIBLE. Take my advice and do not waste your time on that movie.

Anyone who didn't cry at the end of that one is broken!

I went to see it with my parents and all of us were sobbing, even Dad.

Instead of watching that trainwreck of a movie called "Warhorse", go see THIS movie!

It was such a crappy movie too! I was watching it with my daughter & her friends (she'd had a sleepover) and one of the little brats darlings pointed to me and yelled; "Mr. Z! Are you CRYING?!"

Yeah, I thought so. The story was bad, the acting wasn't any better, the horse was almost non-existent. The trailer makes you think it's about how this horse helps a guy through the war, but really that isn't what happens at all. Everyone in the movie is a loser.

I thought the movie was just a major, depressing bummer. But then again, "Animal House" is my favorite movie so it's not like I'm real sophisticated.

movies with animals and other mushy plots brought on the waterworks after 25, went up the most after 26

but I love watching comedies and sitcoms, I laugh like there's no tomorrow, no matter how psychotic I sound
