"The fault in our stars, I was full on ugly crying the first time I watched that. DH thought I'd lost the plot"
I was completely caught out by this one. Went to see with dd as she'd loved the book. I was firmly of the opinion that no modern teen drama would fuss me, I can be a hard faced cow at times. But no this proper got me, maybe because it's NOT schmaltzy and I overplayed?
Marley & me - but not the same as everyone else, SPOILER ALERT when the dog knows to comfort her after the mc.
Steel magnolias - again not the obvious point SPOILER ALERT 2 but when they're fighting after the funeral, the cantankerous bffs played by Shirley MacLaine (I LOVE her) and Olympia Dukakis
Speaking of Shirley MacLaine - terms of endearment, OMG if that doesn't get to you, you have NO heart!
"But Imitation of life gets me every time, can just watch clips and I ball with tears" I ALWAYS mention on threads about tearjerkers
Imitation of life
Madam X
Who will love my children
Kramer vs Kramer, I have on my Netflix list, haven't been able to bring myself to watch it yet.
I've never seen watership down but remember the song being a hit and just the song makes me cry! A real "tough guy" friend of mine commented on FB recently re the remake saying basically "nope! Not going through that again!"
"Officer and a gentleman" yes! I think people forget how moving that was, not just the obvious, but Richard gere "I got nowhere else to go!" Zack knows, if he crashes out of military training he'll be on a path to complete self destruction, Lou gosset jrs character knows that, he's not being cruel he's getting Zack to break down that last barrier, also when he then sacrifices his assault course record to help casey just complete the damn thing! Apparently Lou gossett Jr. undertook genuine military training with a real life drill sgt and was surprised to learn that the drill sgt was very aware that many recruits come from tough even abusive backgrounds and he actually saw his role as parental, breaking through - not down - to get them to deal with their issues, then building them up. To any who liked this film I HIGHLY recommend men of honor which is based on a true story.
"Stepmom" omg yes! As a single mum with a dd this really got to me. "And my fear is that she'll be thinking 'I wish my mom was here'... And my fear is that she won't" my health isn't the best (not life limiting though) either, dd won't even watch it now. She's banned me from dying!
"The absolute worst, though, was The Color Purple. That broke me" if you think the films bad DEFINITELY don't read the book!
"About Time" blood love this film
Pay It Forward - omg yes!
An eye for an eye - I'm glad I've seen it, but I couldn't watch it again. Same with a time to kill. Just too distressing to watch more than once.
Been unable to watch either dead poets society or what dreams may come since Robin Williams died. Just too close to the bone.
"The film the always makes me cry is the ending in cool running’s! I’m dead inside and can sit through most things but this gets me every time" I think sometimes it's if it's unexpectedly moving, I'm the same with planes, trains & automobiles. The audience is clearly not meant to expect that revelation.
"The blind side also got me" that one caught dd and I out!
"It's nice I never had one before"
"What a room to yourself?"
"A bed" ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
"I don't get the beginning of Up. What's so sad about it? I know she died at the end but that's about it" did you completely miss the mc & lack of children?
One that is absolutely NOT "for those of a nervous disposition" as they used to say AND it's a true story - Butterbox babies.
"I know it isn't a film but the last episode of Blackadder goes forth , I am starting now" it's the only episode of blackadder I've ever seen as its not my humour, ex made me watch it. Utterly heartbreaking!
"Highlander when his wife dies and the music begins to swell for the intro of Who Wants to Live Forever." Omg yes!
Charmed - when pipers a fury and raging at prue for dying and leaving her!
