Like you Grumble, I try to steer clear of the tear-jerker movies cause I cry so hard that I get a bad head-ache from it most of the time..... I usually enjoy action/adventure movies cause usually I'll only well-up a time or two in them ... :) , but I also love old movies and have to be careful what I'm watching, went to a theater one time that would just show old movies (charged $1 for admittance) ... An Affair to Remember .... was crying and sobbing so hard that I couldn't breathe! and it was not quiet sobbing either .... talk about embarrasing! :) ((((grumble))))

I'll admit that it wasn't the best film ever, but the whole step family situation is something I can relate to all too well, and I found myself sitting in the cinema for a good 20 minutes after it finished sobbing unconsolably.


I had the exact same reaction about the movie (but thought it was pretty weak other than Sarandon's performance.)

Mystic River affected me like this recently. Tim Robbins (Sarandon's SO) was especially good.

Fzzy - I can so relate to how you felt about 'An Affair to Remember'......for me the most agonising part was when they left the ship and their S/Os were waiting for them so they didn't get to say goodbye properly.

Steph - I'm glad I'm not the only one who cried at Stepmom.....I felt really pathetic crying over it because as you say the film is pretty weak.....just goes to show how things affect you when they hit a personal note.

It will go on for awhile. The same with Australian Idol. Done to death!

Grumble 07-30-2004 06:51 AM

I don't watch shows like big brother, very immoral and full of bad human behaviour so I am glad it's finished.

Must say that i like Australian Idol because Zi love music on TV and some talented young people get some recognition.

I recently saw Step mom on video but I did not get all that teary over it.
The acting was pretty ordinary in my mind.

Sharni 07-30-2004 06:57 AM

I enjoy Aussie Idol too (Still think Shannon shoulda won *L*)

Irish 07-30-2004 07:38 AM

We usually don't watch it,but last night,the convention coverage,was on almost,every channel,so my wife put in BBrother (5?).It was one of the crappiest shows,that I've ever seen.(I don't like reality type,shows,anyway)
(They are,anything but,reality)I hope. Irish
P.S. My $.02.

Shannon seems to be the one that is shown the most. Both BB and Idol are made by the same company out here.

"Old Yeller"....need I say more???

denny 07-30-2004 04:13 PM

It's okay guys. Cry on!!!

imaginewithme 07-30-2004 05:42 PM

I love a guy with such emotions!!!! :heart:

My favorite movie is Phenomenon--I cry every single time and hubby always says "why are you crying, you knew that was gonna happen, you've seen it 100 times"..........
