Sappy Boo Hoo Movies

I am a self-professed sap. I cry during movies. Last night my dh brought “The Notebook” for me to watch. He handed me a bath towel beforehand for crying and inquired whether I might need a beach towel instead. The man knows me well.

Whenever I watch a love story of any kind, I like to connect with the characters (Okay, with the exception of “Pearl Harbor” which had the worst love story known to mankind–big raspberries. :ick:). I want to be sucked into their world and experience the kind of world-altering love, the happiness that they go through. And yes, I like to cry sometimes, too.

If you haven’t seen “The Notebook” and you enjoy a good love story–RUN, don’t walk to your nearest video story. You will love it.

But aside from “The Notebook” here are some of my all-time tear fest movies, ranked in no particular order:

1. Finding Neverland (I bawled like a baby and it was really good).
2. Shadowlands
3. Beaches
4. Steel Magnolias
5. Terms of Endearment
6. Dragonfly

My husband, though he’s kind enough to endure movies like this with me (in my defense, I have also watched horrible movies like “Bloodsport” with him)…doesn’t cry during movies. He laughs at me and hands me the tissues (or in last night’s case, the towel). What about you? Are you a movie-sobber like me? Or do you squint at the movie and hem and haw like my husband? Which movies made you cry the most?
