Default Re: movies that have made you cry? (men only plz)

I used to well up a lot, but the first movie that made tears fall was the Legend of Bagger Vance. The movie is a direct retelling of the Bhagavad Gita (Hindu spiritual text) using Georgia of the 1920s and golf. That means Will Smith, as Matt Damon's caddy/mentor, is essentially an incarnation of God.

So when it's time for Smith to leave he passes the torch to a little boy. The boy starts crying and says "what if something comes up and I don't know what to do?" and it gets me good.

I was pretty spiritual at the time so that probably factors into it a lot. The idea of God being right there physically and then leaving but saying he'll always be there in spirit or whatever is what did it.

Yeah the J-Mac thing was ridiculous. I think I'd tear up seeing it again, just like the first 5 times.

Spoiler edited out for those of you who are going to see it some day (easily in the top 5 dramatic series you should be watching on DVD if you're looking for the best). I didn't read the response because I'm only up to season 5.

I was more stunned and in awe at the greatness of it. I generally only get tears in my eyes at happy/bittersweet things rather than horribly sad and tragic things.

I made a post about the season in the Lounge soon after I finished it.

ugh, oops, that was pretty dumb of me I guess. Just was so early on in the buffy series and with so many seasons after it of both angel and buffy, didnt really think of it as a spoiler since I didnt figure anyone who would be watchng it now would be affected by it since you know thats not the end. But yeah, im dumb....my bad

any guy with a dog will agree. Any dog movie where the dog does something courageous and dies.
