When I was younger (at 26 I'm such an old biddy, huh?) I wasn't much of a weeper when it came to books and films etc. I remember girls in my class all saying how they cried when Lionardo DiCaprio died in Titanic and not getting it at all. I laughed my ass off at that bit!
So, yeah, I was a bit harder back then. These days, however, I find myself crying at so many books and movies it is ridiculous! The first film I ever cried at was actually Terminator 2: Judgement Day. You know, that bit where Arnie is melting and he gives the thumbs up...? Wept my heart out.
The book which makes me cry the most is Before I Die, by Jenny Downham. The movie which makes me cry the most is Grave of the Fireflies. (Best. Movie. Ever.)
What books and films brought a tear to your eye?
Share 'em with me and the world beyond!

P.S. I cried the other day when Edge had to retire from the WWE... how lame am I?! He he he.
Man and Boy, the latest Adrian Mole for books.
ReplyDeleteFilms? Forrest Gump, the Goonies, Rocky I and Rocky II, Fever Pitch, Toy Story 3 to name a few of the hundreds I blub at!
Thanks Matt! Glad there are guys out there willing to admit to shedding a tear over a good story :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't suppose you cried at the end of Terminator 2, did you? Lx
