Pay It Forward.

i don't even like that annoying child actor, but i was so effing pissed that i had tears in my eyes for an hour. i was ready to go find the offending youth and disembowel him in public - and yes i'm aware that he was also just acting. i was seriously pissed.

Pay It Forward.

Yep, forgot that one on the list, but it's first tier/tear. Unquestionably. Dammit.

I don't believe you people! Come ON! Crying! At the movies??? I never cry! Maybe once, when I was little, I cried at Snow White, but that's only because I was afraid of the evil stepmother. Very little makes me cry.

I'm a heartless bitch.

Here's a picture story for you. If you don't cry by the end of it, you truly are a heartless bitch. I'm crying right now, and I haven't even made the story yet.

The first thing that came to mind was, "what the hell kind of name is Jenny Duty?"

mrnoodle 07-20-2005 04:43 PM

i didn't read the stone, it was the first entry on a google image search of "pet cemetary"

Ice. you're pure ice.

I felt sad that poor Jenny has to spend eternity with some other dog's face carved on her stone.

BigV 07-20-2005 04:49 PM

This, this is why I declined in the other thread. Sheesh.

Ok. ET made me cry, too. I remember I had on a turtle neck and was trying to hide my blubbering in the theater, cause it was so uncool. I've pretty much learned to give up the attempts at coolness. I can be played like a cheap violin.

I cried when reading the novelization of Return of the Jedi, when Vader died. Not during the movie, though. There was some sappy imagery about Luke's tears and summer raindrops or something of the sort.

i remember that! i didn't cry though - pussy.


whoooooooaaaaaa! was i just channelling sycamore? :worried:

I well up in sports movies, those feel-good tales of underdogs persevering and coming to a triumphant and mostly psychological victory:

Again, Field of Dreams
For Love of the Game
Rudy (big time - I think I even shed a tear or two)

Can't think of others.

Whatever age I was when it came out (I think about 8 or 9), I bawled at the end of My Girl. Poor Anna Vadar - I just wanted to give her a big, dirty, groping hug. ;)

Secondhand Lions is worth seeing for sure - a good comedy too. I had never heard of it until a co-worker recommended it. I don't sit through a whole lot of movies but I did like that one.

Brian's Song

The Joy Luck Club

Million Dollar Baby

The Champ

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Forrest Gump

Of Mice and Men

I second Rudy too.
