Ghost

[Rhona]

Ghost is pretty watchable, though I think it deals with its subject matter with the subtlety of a mallet hitting a fence post, in true Hollywood style.

The theme of losing someone we love affects many of us - me included - and I cannot watch Wuthering Heights (the Olivier version) without getting 'something in my eye.' Many people think that's a load of sentimental old pap too, and I completely defend their right to think so!

Dirty Dancing though, is marvellous. I won't hear a word against it.

I really loved it first time round but for me it's not one to watch over and over.A totally different film I know,but with the same sentiments is 'Truly,madly,Deeply'....now that gets me every time.
We went to see "UP" at the cinema at the weekend...nobody warned me I'd need tissues.If you're into sentimental pap,I can highly recomend it.

oh I so agree on Truly, Madly, Deeply - lovely film

Somebody recommended 'TMD' to me and I bought the DVD. It took me about a year before I bothered to set up the DVD player and I preferred it to 'Ghost'. I would go round the twist if I had to keep watching the same thing over and over again. Reminds me of when my son was little and he'd keep playing the latest episode of the "Three Mouseketeers" over and over until I videoed the next episode over the top.

Absolutely, and no, no one is allowed there own opinion on this, its great, end of, ok?

If I had to watch it as often as you did Alison I'd probably not like it any more

Having read in your post how often you had to see it Alison, you can't be blamed for not liking it!!! Must have had a lifetime's worth.

Quality film, have not watched it for years, but cry like a good'un everytime.

"Run, Bambi! RUN!!!"

'Nother one I can't watch. It is too true.

[its hilly]

"Run, Bambi! RUN!!!" gets me too creemteez
And bits of Ghost, but not the pot throwing bit for some reason

How about Green Mile...
and Independence day..when he walks out of the hospital room
And Hidalgo when he collapses in the desert

Sorry, I'm a big softy
Even stuff like the release of the whales into their new home on Star Trek-The voyage home
And Bodger coming round the final corner in the original Incredible journey
reduce me to tears despite being happy

[FionaH]

TMD makes me howl
Green Mile a bit sniffy
Can't watch Beaches
Oh just pass the tissues I will cry at anything

(I am not admitting to crying over that recent film with the dog!!)

[Alison]

Not sure I've ever cried during a film although don't do many anyway, they're make believe, save my tears for real life and not that often then as my way of coping is to do things, works for me but not for everybody.

[Ourpoisonivy]

I ALWAYS cry piskie xxx i bought it last month still got to watch it but will wait till another bout of chemo is over with first...............otherwise I will flood the lounge

[binley100]

I've got more emotional as I've got older. It doesn't even have to be a sad moment now. Even a nice happy one can set me off. It doesn't even make a difference if it's a cartoon!

[piskieinboots]

Not sure I've ever cried during a film ....

heck, I even cry at the rugby - with excitement you understand

[HeyWayne]

I've never seen The Champ - but I understand it's quite a tear jerker. Now that Bean is here I'm not sure I could watch it without a tear forming.

Can't remember the last film that made my eyes blurry, but I did get a lump in my throat when watching The Green Mile. "Dawg tired baws, dawg tired"
