Good lord yes. I rewatch movies all the time (most of my favorite movies get at least a watching every month) and yet I have not been able to go back and watch GotF since I first saw it four years ago. I have no trouble crying at movies (I have at one time or another cried at a good 75% of the movies mentioned here as well as others), but GotF was actually physically painful to watch.
Well, The Seventh Sign brought a tear to my eye when Demi sacrificed herself for the baby. Oddly enough She’s Having a Baby has a similar scene that also got me, when Kristy has complications during delivery.
Nevermind that we’re talking movies here ;), we’re talking about a specific kind of movie. And if you must know, I cried my eyes out after the Zeffirelli Romeo and Juliet, okay?
Everybody knows that beneath this cold hard exterior lies a heart of stone…But anyone who can watch the movie “Angus” and not cry has a heart harder than Mrs. Seenidog. And that takes some doing.
Oh, and I almost forgot “Fried Green Tomatoes”. I may well have cried at that movie, but it was so long ago I can’t recall for sure… so, for brownie points, let’s just say that I did.
While it may not be ‘socially acceptable’ to cry at the dreck that was the Notebook, I have never met a man who managed to sit through it and not tear up.
I sniffled at Return of the King during one of the endings. (Is it just me, or were there about seven places where that movie could have faded to black and gone with the credits?) I could see Gump or Private Ryan too.
Not only could the movie have ended several times before it did, it actually did fade to black on a few occasions. I wondered if Jackson was screwing with the audience.
