The Milner Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) I watched this tonight. I do agree the "plot" that binds it all together was utter shit, but I thought most (not all) of the sketches were funny as hell. Bawdy, gross-out humour. Gets me every time. Fuck knows how they got that cast. "Yeah, hi Hugh Jackman? We'd like you to play a guy who has balls on his neck. And could you ring Kate Winslet, and see if she'll be do the scene with you?". ***Seven Pounds - Drama starring Will Smith which I can't really describe without giving away the plot. It was really good the first time I saw it, but it lost something on rewatch when I knew the ending. Not a light, breezy Sunday night movie. Heavy going. Tugs at the heart strings a bit. A few massive plotholes, but it doesn't spoil it too much. ****Major League - A childhood favourite that I haven't watched since I was a teenager. Baseball comedy. The owner of the Cleveland Indians deliberately drafts in the worst baseball players she can find in order to finish dead last so she can break contract and move the team to Miami. It was probably 90% nostalgia (I could still quote most of the lines before they happened) but I really really enjoyed it. Even Charlie Sheen, who I can't stand. I even got goose bumps during the "Wild Thing" scene.**** I dont know if your allowed to admit this or not, but Seven Pounds is the only film i have shed a wee tear over.

I've cried at a few films. Not like, floods of tears, but welling up at least. Once and Atonement off the top of my head were two that got to me.

Teabags Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I have "Hello Tear" moments to heaps of films. Homeward Bound especially. I'm a massive sook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I remember watching Kramer vs Kramer with my ex-girlfriend. Holy shit. You'd think someone had just shot her family or something. I don't cry at films a lot but I cry at all sorts of other shit. I'm a total wuss. I cried watching wrestling once.

The Milner Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I watched seven pounds with an ex who lived in Torry, cried on the number 5 on the way home listening to Coldplay. Im going to assume i was crying over the film and not because i was listening to Coldplay, but i guess you can never be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Over the past couple of years I've started to tear up at almost everything. It doesn't have to be a well made film it can be shit reality tv, the news, sports etc. I'm an emotional wreck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 This. From about 3.20 on I was a fucking wreck. I still get emotional watching it now. Actually I cried the night of the Eddie Guerrero tribute on Raw as well, the day after he died. So I've cried at wrestling twice. I didnt even like Eddie Guerrero that much.

Lemonade Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 This should be in it's own thread. I'm going to move it. Stop it clogging up the film chat. Carry on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I never cry at films, but every time I watch the beginning of the film Up, I get a really strong waft of onions. Weird. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I dont know if your allowed to admit this or not, but Seven Pounds is the only film i have shed a wee tear over.I shed a tear every time I see Will Smith's name attached to a movie. He's worse than shite. He has two expressions - Big Smiley or Constipatedly Serious. Nice guy, but stick to comedy ...and please, please steer your son towards a non-showbiz career. The kid can't even speak English - listen to the opening monologue in After Earth - "human race" sounded like "hooomaaaa raaaaay" Back on topic ...the end scene in Field of Dreams and the bit where Forrest Gump meets his son both raise a lump in my throat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Forrest Gump...speaking to Jenny's grave when he says "He's so smart Jenny."... I bubble like a fucking lassie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Da slag, but I have a playlist on youtube of news snippets and short films, etc that make me feel fuzzy inside. I don't really know why I started it but I've got some beauts on there that i'll watch/show people from time to time when the mood calls for a wee greet. Here are some recent favourites: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 For whatever reason this wells me up slightly, I think its because he had actual talent, and it was great seeing SC's face when he first realised the guy could properly sing.

Moose Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Marley and Me expunged years of self-imposed, adulthood emotional repression. I was heaving with tears for about half an hour after the film ended. My girlfriend was really worried about me. I think, more than anything, it reminded me a lot of losing my own dog, which happened when I was on holiday. I loved that dog more than anything and don't think I had a chance to fully grieve her passing, as I was away when it happened. As it happens, I was in Amsterdam on said holiday. My mum phoned me at about 10am the morning after a head full of booze and drugs. That was a pretty brutal moment. When left for amsterdam, I had already got into my car and started my engine when I realised I hadn't said bye to Corrie. I put the engine off and went straight back in the house to give her a cuddle as i suppose i had a feeling it'd be our last. Oh God, I miss my dog.

Lemonade Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 When Buffy *spoilers* Angel at the end of season 2. 19 year old Lucky cried like a little bitch. That fucking Sarah Mclachlan song still gets to me to this day.Oh also when she gets given the "Class Protector" award in the prom episode of season 3. I've seen that episode so many times and it still gets me every single time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm actually too scared to watch Marely & Me 'cause I know I'll be bubbling. I cried like a baby in the cinema when I went to see UP. thank fuck for 3d glasses. I saved face. I think. This always gets me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
