Okay this is one of my all-time favourite movies and my boyf wanted to shoot me on Sunday because I insisted on watching the camp portion of it. Lindsay Lohan was SO cute!

Dang!! It came on tonight...I'm such a mess, this is ridiculous!!!!

World Trade Center: The scene when the Marine finds Jimeno and McLaughlin (however his last name is spelled), and he says "you are our mission". I just always cry, like happy tears. Even though you know they are okay, it's like 'yeah'.

United 93: basically cried through the entire movie.

Pearl Harbor: When Danny dies and Rafe tells him he's going to be dad. I'm like "tears" :)

Superman Returns: The end when Clark is saying the whole "the father is the son is the father" thing to his son. Again "tears".

Legends of the Fall gets me EVERYTIME! The one part that hits me the most is when Tristan (Brad Pitt's character) goes to Samuel's grave and sits there crying over him. It's almost like I can actually FEEL his pain.

And a movie that hasn't been mentioned...Wit with Emma Thompson (there is a play version starring Judith Light). Basically Emma plays a college professor who is diagnosed with terminal cancer and it follows her journey to the very end. I watched it with my boyfriend and he sat there crying his eyes out at the end...and he NEVER cries.

Little Miss Sunshine when the brother/son finds out he's color-blind.

Sometimes in April ~ That movie gets me almost everytime.

We can never watch movies or tv shows together, ever. It would just be pathetic.

Certain Episodes of Designing Women
 

*Slight Hijack*

Ok, for those of you who remember Designing Women (prior to Delta Burke leaving), this episode is a classic. It's when Suzanne hosts a child in the process of an adoption. She becomes emotionally attached to the little girl and has a difficult time letting go. I cry at this part EVERY TIME. The episode is called Oh Suzannah.



[The quote from the pillow given to Suzanne by her grandmother:]
Dear Little One,
I wish two things;
To give you roots.
To give you wings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Julia confronts, and then comforts, a very tearful Suzanne who doesn't want to give up Li Sing.]
Suzanne: Well I sure made a mess of things this time, didn't I?
Julia: Not yet. In a few more hours they'll be talking kidnapping.
Suzanne: I wish I'd never met her. She thinks I'm wonderful. She even loves my cooking.
Julia: You don't cook.
Suzanne: Well, I know that, but she doesn't! Li Sing's the first person who's ever loved me just for me.
Julia: She's not the first. She's the third.
Suzanne: What? you mean my ex-husbands?
Julia: No, silly. Mother and me. We love you just for you.
Suzanne: Yeah, but you don't think I can do anything.
Julia: That's not true. I just said I didn't think you were cut out to be a mother.
Suzanne: You mean unlike the four billion other women on Earth? Thanks a lot.
Julia: But you do something nobody else can do.
Suzanne: What?
Julia: I don't know what it is.....exactly.....that you do. I just know nobody else is doing it, or can do it, like you do. You giving away your pillow?
Suzanne: Yeah. I wanted Li Sing to have it.
Julia: I think Grandma would like that. I remember when she made these for us. Roots and Wings. We sure got our share didn't we? Suzanne, I'm going to say something pretty harsh, but I'm saying it because I love you. Just once in your life, don't put yourself first.
Suzanne: I'm not, Julia. I'm thinking of Li Sing.
Julia: No, you're not. You're not thinking at all. You know, in your heart, that she's better off with this couple. If you love her, like you say you do, give her wings.
Suzanne: I just didn't expect to fall in love with her. I know, you're right. I know. Ok, I'll do it.
[Julia takes Suzanne's hand and starts to cry herself.]
Julia: I'm so happy for you.
Suzanne: Why?
Julia: Because, now. . . you know what it feels like to be a mother.

*End Hijack :)*

Does any one ever get something like "tears of strength"? That's how I describe Flight 93, Glory, Schlinder's List, and other movies which cause a "Never Again!" feeling.



ETA: also Brian's Song, Sophie's Choice, and to whomever said she cries at songs, "Somewhere Out There".

A TV show episode that always makes me cry is one episode of Golden Girls. This episode is the girls sitting around talking about Mothers Day. I was watching it with my mother and the story in particular is when Blanche is telling about her last Mothers day with her own mother and how her mom didn't remember much anymore b/c of Alzheimers. My mom then started talking about my grandmother and her last Mothers Day with her mom. It got both of us crying our eyes out. I never got to meet my grandmother b/c she passed away before I was born but every time I see that episode, I think of my mom with tears in her eyes remembering her mother.

OMG I forgot about Glory. That movie always strikes a cord in my heart.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this movie or not, but Revenge of the Sith. I'm such a dork. :D That movie seriously made me bawl my eyes out. Even though you totally knew that Anakin had to go all "sithy" I was like "no don't do it" during the movie. Plus, John Williams score is just so powerful. To this day I always cry when the purge starts.

lol :D Even out of context this sentence would make sense.

ROTFL at my own sentence!!!!!

Monsoon Wedding--When Ria's Uncle comes to get her to bring her home.
10 Things I Hate About You-- 1)The next day after prom and she's sitting on the porch. I get misty when her sister thanks her and they have a "moment". 2)When she reads her poem, right when her voice cracks and she starts to cry.:(
