To be hiding in another room while dh watches Watership Down

[weblette]

with the dcs as it always makes me cry.

FGS I can hear Bright Eyes and I'm welling up!

see deep rooted childhood trauma ((hugs)) sunny

I haven't dared watch War Horse! I love the book though. I have Watership Down on, it is one of my favourite books and films :)

Ds1 has just walked out of the living room too as it's too sad...

It is, indeed, a sad film which makes me

But ... is anyone old enough to remember watching a young lad called Matthew Butler singing 'Bright Eyes' on Tiswas back in the late 1980s (I think)? Here - I cried ... with laughter!

This was my favourite film as a small child. Watched it every day, to the point I still know the script pretty much by heart. Never understand why people think it's sad - Hazel's death scene is gentle and beautiful.

Blimey, little Matthew is almost as shouty as Alexandra Burke.

Can't watch it, the song was played at my little sister's funeral.

Tell her to read the book mrs jay, they are always better than the films, make sure you stock up on tissues first though

I think she read it in history yes I know it isn't real but was part of her ww1 project , she cried again, I really dont want to watch warhorse with people around I would probably sob.

I saw warhorse and didn't find it anywhere near as emotional as I was hoping for. Certainly not in the league of Black Beauty.

Maybe I'm getting hard in my old age :( Shame because I do love a good weepie. The last time I did a sniffle was the scene in Armageddon where Liv Tyler says goodbye to Bruce Willis. I haven't had a proper cry about any movie for years.

Sorry if this is a bit of a derail, but can anyone recommend a movie that's sure to make me blub? I want a good clear out!

do you like Animal films ? i recommend Hacchi it is about a dog who adopts an owner it is a sobfest I swear sobs and snot when I watched it,

I took dds and a friend of theirs to see Warhorse, I snivelled a bit but I'm sorry to say they just giggled. Probably because it isn't a very good film, sadly. The cinematography is fantastic but the storyline clonks, which is a great shame as the book and the play are fantastic.

YANBU! Mil bought watership down for dds 1st birthday .
It is still in the cellophane wrapping 4 years on!

The wires.... The wires....

YADNBU!! I got the 'its a nice film' line too aged about 8, its not. so so sad
