Just read this thread - I do love a good cry BUT Im currently in bed having an early night/mumsnet session

Do I get up and go downstairs to watch it???

aww gawd dh has it on in other room , cant watch cant watch. is there moon river song playing ??

That was a good section:

Breakfast at Tiffany's (note to self: try and look like Audrey Hepburn)

Gallipoli (how gorgeous was Mel in those days?)

Dr. Zhivago (note to self: try and look like Julie Christie)

Another note to self:

Have never seen, and never wish to see, Breaking the Waves.

Just me still watching?

No Dh came down from long bath felt obliged to talk to him.

wAS BREAKING THE WAVES THE CLIP i SAW OF A WOMAN, GOING ONTO A SHIP, BEING VIOLENTLY RAPED...AND THEN DYING AT END? iF SO - i WON'T BE WATCHING IT EITHER!

That's the one, HB - can't say it appealed greatly.

You've got your caps lock on btw

Ooops - I realised after posted! Sorry all

Back see you in a mo

Just read the next lot to come up and I have just seen a film I remember watching when a teen - it is so sad Not sure I could watch it as a parent now though. Number 38.

Kramer vs Kramer - that's another sad pre-kids, unbearable post-kids film.

Casablanca - embarrassing admission here - I have never seen it. Must do. Note to self: try to look like Ingrid Bergman.

Want to see Life is Beautiful.

My friend's uncle directed Kramer v Kramer I think.

The film I mentioned before is called "Who will look after my children"

breaking the waves is v powerful...but nothing is as sad as Daddy, My Daddy - oh apart from Baby of Mine in Dumbo

oh and i always weep at truly, madly deeply

I think a lot of true wet weekday afternoon films, especially for when you are off sick from work.

Ah, 4 weddings - the funeral

But, DH has turned over again now to watch end of his film.

Four Weddings gets me every time

Now I know how RTKangaMummy feels with her public announcements...

On Golden Pond (liked this, liked the father/daughter angst/love relationship - very resonant for me)

The Snowman - I put the video of this on for ds2 at Christmas, when he just turned 3, and he sat, riveted, watching it. And he never sits still. He watched the film, I watched him watching the film.

Stop all the Clocks in 4 Weddings and a Funeral...

I thought that love would last forever
I was wrong.

The Elephant Man - remember seeing this when I was quite young (about 12?) and feeling so angry at the injustice of how he was treated. Reminds me of Ryan's Daughter - has that been on yet?

Philadelphia, memo to self buy it on DVD in order to show DS in the future that all people are equal.

I didn't like Philadelphia...

long story but it hit a nerve at the time. Not the HIV but I just gotten over a huge cancer operation and when they put the oxygen mask on him I totally lost it.

The Office special now. Not sure if it should be so high up list though???
