I detest crying. Especially in front of people. Even when I'm in a dark theater where no one can really see me, I feel like the world knows that I'm crying. But that's what happens when you get all involved into the story! I couldn't help it. I was powerless! Here are the top 10 movies that have made me cry. Curse you hollywood and your emotional manipulation!
1. The Fox and the Hound. You know when the old lady has to leave Todd in the forest? When she's all singing about her heart and memories and junk? Yup. That right there.
2. Up. The first 10 minutes of this movie are so full of emotion. They never got to go on their trip... they never got to have a baby... so harsh!
3. Titanic. Who the hell didn't cry at that movie? (don't deny it, you SO did). I find it ironic that when thousands of people were dying and drowning, no tears... but when Leo dies, the floodgates opened. Very interesting.
4. Marley and Me. It hit too close to home. No one wants to see a dog put down. Not even an obnoxious one. Come to think of it, not even a rabid one (i.e. Ol' Yeller)...
5. Father of the Bride. I'm not married or engaged, but this movie made me wanna be! It made me cry because I think about how hard it must be for dads to finally let their little girls go.
6. Steel Magnolias. I don't know a chic out there who doesn't cry at this movie. Even though we've seen it a dozen times and we KNOW what's going to happen.
7. Little Women. Why, oh why does Jo have to die? It's so unnecessary! Curse you Louisa May Alcott for your sad, sad plot!
8. The Passion of the Christ. I think this movie experience pretty much went like this: Sit in chair. Cry for two and a half hours. The end.
9. Finding Neverland. When Kate Winslet finally gets to see Neverland... and then stays there.
10. The Lion King. I'm cool with it now, but when you're 10, and Mufasa gets trampled, it's totally game over.
There's probably more that I can't recall at the moment. Or am just refusing to acknowledge and type. I must admit though, I did get misty-eyed when the clone troopers carried out "order 66" in Episode 3...

You big baby ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with 1,2,4(I haven't seen it, but I work in a book store, so I know what would happen if I did) 9, and 10.
Other then those, it looks like you and I need to have a movie night 'cause I haven't seen most of your list (some I have but it's been a while).
Then again, seeing Monica cry might be weird for us both...
