Maybe they have time to install it!
End of this month. So about 3 weeks.
Films that make us sad. Page 7
Watership Down.
Tarka the Otter.
The Green Mile.
Forrest Gump (Not only Jenny's grave scene but the moment he realises the kid is his son and sits down in front of the tv with him).
Billy Elliot (When his Dad swallows his pride to do what's best for his son).
Brassed Off (Pete Postlethwaite in hospital, plus Stephen Tomkinson trying to hang himself).
Turner & Hooch (When Hooch takes the bullet).
Probably loads more I'll add to this over the next couple of days. I'm a right soft-arsed bag-of-shite deep down.
Pretty sad one and all.
Any one else find Beaches really sad.
-'My Girl' was I think the first movie that ever made me sad.
-'I am Sam" was a pretty big tear jerker. The girl I went to see it with ran out of tissue and started using my arm...no joke my entire arm was drenched in tears by the end of the movie.
-Besides that Mr. Holland's Opus...at the end when he's retiring. I don't know why but I can't help but shed a tear. 
Jeez Curt they're all mega lame.
I am Sam, watch the earlier Loving Walter starring Lord of the Rings Ian McKellen.
He plays a proper learning disabled character. He gets locked up in a maximun security hospital, raped by an evil dwarf, and a guy in a wheel chair gets beaten to death.
That's a properly nasty film about disabilities.
Four Weddings and a Funeral - the funeral (obviously) and the poem John Hannah reads always gets me.

I think that would frighten me more than make me sad.
A dwarf....how does that even happen? Never mind forget I asked.

Oh yeah!!
Flipping heck. That's a killer, that one.
TV makes me cry more than films do. Maybe because you spend more time with the characters - weeks rather than hours. I blub at Doctor Who quite regularly. (surprise surprise).

he sneaks up on him bed, whilst he's asleep. He's very evil, and has an evil laugh, and an evil beard.
You see Curt, the evil rape dwarf gets you in your sleep.
Yes, I cried when I caught the end of Hollyoaks the other day, when Max died - I don't even watch Hollyoaks and I was in tears!!

Bloody hell - I'm not going to get to sleep tonight!

And not always for the most expected or conventional reasons, methinks.
Quote: Mick Green @ July 4 2008, 9:11 PM BSTTurner & Hooch (When Hooch takes the bullet).
I don't know how many times I've cried over that film as a child. Then I cry with happiness when you see Hooch opening and shutting his eyes, pretending to be really hurt in the hospital.
Green Mile is ridiculously depressing. Stand By Me always makes me sad at the end too. And Apollo 13. There will be a few others I can't remember now as well.
Quote: Bad dog @ July 4 2008, 5:45 PM BSTYes, I've seen that. It's pets or dogs that do it for me. Lassie films especially. There's one disney film in particular, where 3 dogs get lost and have to make their way home across the countryside. It often comes on TV and I sit there sweating blood that the dogs make it home in the end. Even though I've seen it before!
That's Homeward Bound! And it's two dogs and one cat. And again I've cried so so many times at that in the past. The bit at the end of Homeward Bound 2 where they're waiting for Shadow who fell in the hole and injured himself, and it looks like he hasn't made it and then you see him limping over the hill towards the house and it's like awwww and I cry like a baby girl.
Er, yeah. Great film though!
Shawshank Redemption is well sad too.
Bambi. Someone's said Bambi right?
That and Matrix 2 and 3. But that's a different kind of sad. >_<'
You are all girlies. Even the girlies.
I'll use 'choked up', since I don't remember the last time I actually cried while watching a film. But I remember getting choked up, while watching:
* Babe, the ending. "That'll do, Pig. That'll do".
* Shawshank Redemption
* Braveheart, the end as well
* La Vita è bella (Life is Beautiful), with Roberto Benigni
* Dead Poets Society, one of my fave films
* ending of Blackadder's last episode gets me every time
what about films directed by Lars von Trier? Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville? My wife broke down every time she watched them. That has left me with great reluctance to ever see any of them (I did watch Dancer in the Dark, peering over my laptop's cover).
