[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 47866, member: 1991"] I cried when I saw "Ann of a Thousand Days" in the cinema, back when I was in my teens. Loved that film. I've watched for Genevieve Bujold in anything, ever since. And "Beaches" too. Definitely. Mentioning the character of Oliver in "Love Story" reminds me of Oliver Reed, in "The Devils". While I cried in that one also, the horror was overwhelming. While "Armageddon" is very moving, it was too jingoistic for me, I mentally switched off. And "Steel Magnolias" - definitely. I first saw that on a plane to Athens, I couldn't let myself cry because there was a planeload of people, including my family and in-laws, who would have never let me forget it. But every time I've seen it since, it has the same effect. husband has put in his vote for "Fried Green Tomatoes". I remember, back when I was a uni student, I went with a male friend of Latvian parentage to a marathon screening of "War and Peace" - the extended, Russian (brilliantly dubbed) 18 hour movie. I do remember there were some scenes in that which really hit home for him, the poor lad was sobbing in my arms in a scene where young boys and older men were being executed by firing squad. Other parts of the movie also really got to him, too. Which brings me to "Dr Zhivago" - another 10 hankie movie, if only because you'll have gone through 10 hankies in the very long time it takes to watch it. That scene at the end where he thinks he sees Lara on the street but as he runs to try to catch up to her, his heart gives out. Oh, there was so much tragedy in that movie. Brilliant stuff, but heavy going on the emotions. Marg [/QUOTE]
