Well..any kind of a love story..ever since hubby died I can't watch any love stories..makes me sad he is no longer with me.
Just when it gets easier to cope a stupid love story comes on..What's a girl ..old lady to do.
And those pretty and sad songs they play..like in the Wedding Singer.."I wanna grow old with you "..broke my heart..
Snoozy..but not sleepy tonight...
Snoozy, the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" made me cry. Here's this woman is who feels no one could love her and wallah along comes Mr Wonderful, but he's not Greek...
Also, "Bend it Like Beckham". Movies about people that you wouldn't think would or could match up! Love them!
It's takes alot for me cry behind a movie...but
It's A Wonderful Life
Imitation of Life
And most recently..I have a Bollywood/Indian movie obsession so I watch Bollywood ALL THE TIME...these movies brought tears to my eyes..
Devdas
Dil Chahta Hai
Mujhse Dosti Karoge
Parineeta
Veer-Zaara
Billy Elliot - I cried from the first scene right up to the last.
Please tell me you yanks have seen it!
Not very many movies make me cry anymore. I did cry when I watched Munich recently though (Which is the movie I really discovered how gorgeous Eric Bana is ). I don't know if it was all the emotion with the incredibly beautiful soundtrack, but it got to me. Another one that always makes me cry is the movie Osama. Just seeing everything that little girl had to go through was just so heart wrenching, it makes you want to do something about it but leaves you with such a helpless feeling.
"Dances With Wolves," the ending where Wind In His Hair (sitting on his horse at the top of a steep canyon) calls out to Dances With Wolves that he will always be his friend...
Oddly enough, "Schindler's List." Again the ending, where Oskar Schindler (played by Liam Neeson) laments to Stern (Ben Kingsley) 'if only I could have saved one more..."
Music actually tends to be more of a trigger for me. 'Empty Garden' by Elton John, & now almost anything by George Harrison (who died of the same cancer as did my father). Can't listen to 'My Sweet Lord' or 'What Is Life' without completely breaking down..
Sorry, Bubble, I have never heard of "Billy Elliot". Maybe someone else here has.

I just watched the trailer online and it looks really good, but I haven't heard of it before this.
Please watch it if you can, it's such a good film. It's about the son of a British coal miner who wants to become a ballet dancer.
It will make you happy as well as sad. XXX
"The Straight Story"
Directed by David Lynch
One of my favorites!
