Tear Jerker

So, there you are watching a movie everything's going great, the movie's great and then all of a sudden the main character dies, some kid dies, someone does something for someone else that's inspirational or whatever and next thing you know you have a lump in your throat and your eyes are becoming watery and you sniff unexpectedly so, trying to cover, you quickly making up an excuse about having to go to the 'bathroom' or 'damn dust around this movie theatre, getting in my eyes and up my nose...sniff' but you can't fool everyone, a tear jerker is a tear jerker.

So, let's hear it, the one movie, or more, that's had you sobbing, crying, bawling, sniffing or just watery eyed with a lump in your throat..

One movie for me was "Bridge to Terabithia" that had me AND my son teary eyed! ... OK and "King Kong" ...but just a little tear mainly because I had *cough* dust in my eye... hehe

  Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol (the Allister Simm version) makes me cry almost every time I see it.  Any other actor playing Ebenizer Scrooge just doesn't do it for me.  I call it the greatest story of human redemption ever written.

  John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men was remembered for many, many years after by those who watched it as children in the 50's.  TV Giude magazine wrote these words.  "Steinbeck's immortal tale of a feeble minded man and his protector."

Another early film was The Yearling, with Gregory Peck as the father of an early marginal pioneering family.  His son's pet fawn grew into a yearling and was eating their tobbaco plants.  Gregory Peck had to shoot the deer regardless of his son's pleadings for the family to survive.

Be patient Vudu, and listen very carefully Jezca, I'll say this only once ...

you are looking at a guy who had " *cough* dust in my eye" in a cartoon for crying out loud... 'The Invincibles' or some such.

I get lumpy throated when they toss out a model on The Next Top Model, sometimes.

I've had dust in my eye so many times i've lost count No jokes Billy or I'll challenge you to a chess match and kick your teeth in :)

LOL It's ok Vudu, I totally understand, some of those women get so emotional when they get kicked out of The Next Top Model it's hard NOT to get emotional too...I mean *ahem* get dust in your eye.

I cried watching episodes of Outrageous Fortune, it's a TV series we have here in NZ, the last series was a real emotional roller coaster! And I had it on DVD so it was one episode after another that I was in tears over in one evening!! I think I must have used an entire box of tissues...sigh...it was rough, I needed a hug when it was all over lol

The Lovely Bones is the story of a teenage girl who is murdered. 

       I enjoyed this movie and recommend it. I think The Lovely Bones is very emotional and will have some of you watery eyed.

oookkk, Jezca, will be pleased :-)

I watched it!! And loved it!! But it's not as good as the book...then again, name a movie that is as good as the book...go on, I challenge you too hehehe

Oh and by the way..I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

Glad to 'C U'

VC,

    I was going to say something about America's Next Top Model.  You were right.  I watched the first three shows and never missed an episode.  As the program went along I got tired of all the agressive bitchiness.  I did not have empathy for models leaving after that.  Let the chics fall where they may.

    I like nurses and airline hostesses.  They are nice people.  Models don't have time for a college education, are likely to become heroin addicts, and won't graduate college after their careers are over.  Not my style.  How about Janis Dickinson on that show?  Perfect example of why women should not want to be models. 

    We have a friend at the Krazy Kat Klub who was a stew and is a model.  Being a stewardess is good training for being a human being.  I am sure most of the models don't appreciate those kind and well rounded people.  Even Tyra Banks remarked on how cut throat the models in the fashion business are.  Then we have that transvesite J. Alexander.  He is totally in a world of his own.  Had I watched all 14 programs I would have blown out my brains months ago.  I don't think I identified that strongly with any of those young (and I emphasise young) womens' aspirations ready.  For me it was justa look at a part of the world I was unfamiliar with.   It was a brilliant idea to produce the show.  The places they go to on location are interesting, but I won't be buying any DVDs of the shows. 

me neither... sniff
