Self Torture

Ugh! Why do I do this to myself?

A couple of days ago I watched The Green Mile (again) and cried like a baby.
Tonight I watched Forest Gump and … yup, cried like a baby again.

Not exactly news-worthy or a spoiler alert, but holee shit, Tom Hanks is amazing. His ability to act like someone who is a very low IQ is pretty great bla bla bla, but his ability to REACT to things. To have two or more conflicting emotions and thoughts running through his head and have the ability to SHOW US all of the things that he's feeling. Guh.


What movies make you blubber?

For me, in no particular order (and what I can think of, off the top of my head:)

Up <--- fuck you Pixar. without lube!
Lion King. Just the beginning. I have no idea why the intro makes me cry, but it does. Every time.
So We Bought a Zoo. Oh god, I totes embarrassed my kids by blubbering though the entire film.


Okay, I know there are tons more, but that's all I can think of right now. If you have some nice, sappy recc's, I'd love to hear them!


Oh, btw, I saw Big Hero 6 last night and it was FUCKIN' AWESOME! Very, very highly recommend. Loved it.

OMG Iron Giant! Yes! Big, ugly cry, just thinking about it!

I've not heard of The Mighty or Secondhand lions. I will have to give them a try! Thanks!

And yes, I love Claire Danes too. Such an old soul for such a young woman!
