It's only 3 bucks for a matinee in Morelia. USA costs a lot.
We're all mad here!

The Pianist = the saddest film I've ever seen, wasn't full blown crying, just a tear in the eye mainly because It was based on a true story... :(

I cried at the beginning of The Lion King when I saw it on Broadway. It was just so spectacular, yet so human at the same time.

Although the play was excellent, the opening was the climax. Beautiful music throughout, though, and it was wonderful to hear it all live.

i cry over Hallmark commercials

my kids can not believe it..

ummm...I don't believe it, either!

:o

are you serious?

haha. No, I do believe you, but, wow. Commercials??

Actually, I cried after one commercial.

I saw it in England last Xmas. It was an anti-smoking ad. This guy had lung cancer, and was in a hospital bed, and was saying that he WAS going to get better enough to see his daughter for xmas. He really wanted to. Then the words came up: "Anthony died 10 days after filming this ad. He didn't get to see his daughter."

And then the anti-smoking thing came up. :(

edit: Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hySFt8O11A...g%20commercials

english smoking and speeding commercials are BRUTAL. we should do such stuff here too.

as for tear-jerker commercials, i do remember one from when i was a kid. it was a wet-eyed happy reaction. remember Peter coming home as a surprise early Christmas morning and the little sister found him first. (and then they made Folger's to wake up the rest of the house, of course.) it had a It's a Wonderful Life happy reunion feel to it.

Yeah, they are more brutal, and probably more effective.

Here's a speeding ad that didn't make me cry, but did get me to think. I think it was very well done.

Wow! That's a very effective ad!
The dogma lives loudly within me.

I'mwatching Saving Private Ryan....

It's the scene where the mother finds out and falls on the floor...

This is an unbelieveable film.


I think it should be COMPULSORY that every young person watches this film in school before they leave. Young people these day really don't know or appreciate how easy they have it...
