feel gud movies

k i dont cry at movies, im a girl but i dont cry, im not a crying girl, the last movie i cried at i was like 10 and tarzans parents had just died and he was all alone.

But (cous theres always a but)..SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE made me cry ive never felt so much emotion watching any movie before this, it was brilliant and had me on cloud 9 for about a week after.

I can cry at a movie. I can cry if it's out of happiness or sadness...as long as it feels real and it's not hokey.

Then again, I've cried when people win a lot of money on a game show.

I'm the town crier.

If you cry, why is it considered a feel good movie?

Back when I watched more TV, I was known to cry at AT&T, Hallmark, and Kodak commercials.

You're such a softie....

If, in a really emotional scene, the character starts crying, then my eyes will tear up and my throat tightens...inevitably.

Like-minded. :)

That would be the sort of thing that I won't admit to in public.

(Can't watch ET because of the crying buckets at the end thing, you know. And Gran Torino. Oh Boy. I was SOOOO glad that Tester San ws sensitive enough to realize that I didn't just have something in my eye which is how I usually try to play it, and to have a ready supply of tissues available.)

I've become comfortable with who I am.

I haven't.

Me neither. I would be more comfortable as, say, Angelina Jolie or Madonna.

just watched that movie. What a POS.

that is all.

what movie? Slumdog?

Shawnee and Dar: High five to y'all! So glad to know I'm not the only who cries easily. :p

Same!
I cried at the British Pork advert, and the Race for Life one.
Although funnily enough, the charity heartstring-tugging ones don't get me.

There was noting like Noel's Christmas Presents for a good howl on Christmas morning - he has a similar programme on Sky now, but it's nowhere near as good. Perhaps because it's not on Christmas Day proper - you need a glass of sherry and the smell of turkey cooking to make it authentic.

I used to cry when people won a lot of money on a game show. I was just so damn happy for them. :lol:

You're a good soul, S.

I cry watching all dog movies. If you don't cry watching "Marley and Me", well you need to check your pulse.

Feelgood movie IMO: Pure Country

I deliberately haven't gone to see Marley & Me, for fear the Department for Suppression of Heartless People will catch up with me. Misbehaving dog movie? Ack, my worst nightmare. I'd sit there lips pursed, arms crossed shaking my head in disapproval. And someone would report me.

I bawled my head off reading the damn book! This book made me, in turns, LOL (I mean haggis) and cry. I'm a sucker for animal movies too.

I remember in HS I had a little black and white television in my room. There was a movie on, it might have been A Girl Named Sooner, and there was a scene where kids were throwing rocks at a bird...something like that. I cried. :headshake

Feel good movie: What's Eating Gilbert Grape? Endings full of possiblity but not all spelled out, me like.

Some movies that make me feel good:

"Auntie Mame"

"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"

"The Lion in Winter"

"Champagne for Caeser"

How good it your memory of that movie? It's a horror movie.

I've seen it fairly recently. It makes me smile the whole way through. :)

I saw it in the theatre when it 1st came out. I still love the movie. :-)

So stick THAT in your Toot Sweet and smoke it! hahaha

You can have me hat or me bumbershoo
But you better never bother with me ol' bamboo

Now I want to see it again.

Grim film. I've never yet watched it all the way through, I always lose the will to live somewhere around when Benny Hill appears.

Clueless & Ghostbusters are on my list.
I don't have to cry at either of those.
Never got into the Gonnies, which everyone else my age seems to hold in extremely high reverence - I just managed to miss it til I was in my 30s.

From Dusk til Dawn would - albeit slightly bizarrely - be on my list too.
It's just good clean fun for all the family. In a blood spattered way.
Oh, Grease - of course. I don't know if it ever made me cry, but it's so familiar now it has no power to move me in that way. I just like the songs still.

:lol2:

Clueless...cute movie. Kill me, I like Legally Blonde, too.

From Dusk til Dawn...some years ago a friend said I had to see this. She brought it over and I'm watching and all of a sudden I'm like "WTF? What just happened?" Loved it.

Grease--hell yeah!

Oh, Pocketful of Miracles. Dave the Dude, Queenie Martin, and Apple Annie. Not to mention Joy Boy and Junior. Great movie. If you like old movies this is a must-see. Ignore the sappy parts with Ann Margret.

Ghostbusters is one of my favorite movies of all time. I went to see it three times at the theater. I never do that.

Dr Ray Stantz: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here.
Mayor: Is this true?
Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes it's true.
[pause]
Dr. Peter Venkman: This man has no dick.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Well, that's what I heard!

Clueless has some great lines of it's own.

Mel: Anything happens to my daughter, I got a .45 and a shovel, I doubt anybody would miss you.

Definitely see both.
