Sunscreen always seeps into my eyes during the scene in Romeo and Juliet where they meet at the Capulet wing-ding. Always. Happened in the Zeffirelli film, happened in the Luhrman film, happened both times I’ve seen it in Ashland. It’s not the actors or the situation, I don’t think, it’s the words:
“If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.”…etc.
It’s happening again now. I’ve got to quit using suncreen on my forehead.
I think I cry at almost every movie I every see. My daughter calls me a sap. Shoot, I cry at Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, except when the people screamm alot when they see the new house. That just irritates me.
Oh, and my husband loves me even though I am a sap. So, there’s still hope!
Meg! Wake up! Snap out of it! Not out of watching the movie… it is melodramatic, but still satisfying.
No, I’m talking about Ed Harris. He’s waaay too old for you, Girl! Not that he’s not good-looking in an older man sort of way, but, Good Grief! He’s older than I am (I think) and I’m old enough to be your mother! [sigh-- tho' I might be able to pass for your aunt.]
1. Prairie Home Companion
2. Finding Neverland — I knew it was going to be a tearjerker, so I went in bound and determined NOT to cry, but I did anyway.
3. Casablanca. I always cry; it never fails. And I love it.
4. Tender, tender moments; happy endings; poignant endings.
5. Never a sucker for having a heart that’s open.
#1. “The Dirty Dozen”, when Jim Brown got shot, that was too much, sniff.
#2. “The Village”, I was so upset that I spent $9 to see it.
#3. “The Big Lebowski”, that funeral scene was priceless!
#4. When the dog dies.
#5. Major schumkatude!
1. Brokeback Mountain. I finally got around to seeing it, and felt a little shortchanged until the ending.
2. Saving Private Ryan, the scene when they land in Normandy. Oh lordy, those poor men! Everyone else cried at the beginning or ending, when Old Matt Damon visits the graveyard.
3. Eye of the Beholder: the scene in the bar when Ashley Judd tells Ewan McGregor about everyone she’s lost.
4. Hormones. Or little kids getting hurt.
5. It’s OK to cry over TBS when it’s really hot and you don’t have air conditioning.
1. A particularly predictable movie on the Hallmark Channel. I don’t know how they do it, but those dang Hallmark people wring me like a sponge.
2. Pooh’s Grand Adventure. Yep. I caught me son crying out of the corner of my eye and then, I was toast.
3. Tie between “Life is Beautiful” and “Schindler’s List”
4. When the good (but seemingly much less spectacular) guy wins the girl; people overcoming terrible heartache to finally find happiness.
5. I’ve never seen the movie but, hey, I think it’s abundantly clear that you’re no schmuck.
