I really liked AI and in fact own it.  It never seems to get recognition.  I thoguht Jude Law was phenomenal in it.



And the teddy bear! I am love with that teddy bear! Good to hear somebody else loved it as well!  :D

The only film I have cried over apart from BBM was when I was about 10/11 and my parents took me to see" ring of bright water", based on a true story about a man and his friendship with an ottter. It is filmed in Scotland on the coast so the scenery is stunning,and just so sad.I then had a wait of nearly 40 years before I ever cried at a movie again.

Field of Dreams always gets me.

I agree, Kerry, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

Also, Summertime with Katharine Hepburn and Rossano Brazzi.

Terms of Endearment for sure,
Steel Magnolias
and a movie I only say once, it was a TV movie called She Lives, and it was the first place I heard the song time in a bottle.

ET and AI....







Yea AI was indeed sad...almost to the point it was depressing.  I wouldn't own it due to that plus it's too long.

I'm sure there are others so I will list them later, but what comes to mind immediately is my second favorite movie of all time behind Brokeback and that is Titanic. I know there are several versions of Titanic, but the one I am speaking of is the one releases in 1997 with Kate Winselt and Leonardo DiCaprio. And of course the song from it is "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion.

Grave of the Fireflies and Pan's Labyrinth.   Great movies, and I can never watch them again.
