Anybody Have A Tissue?
My husband likes to play a little game. Whenever he gets bored, he calls me over to his computer and tricks me into watching clips from sad movies. And I fall for it. Every time. And then I spend the next half hour or so sobbing uncontrollably and wiping absently at my runny nose with a shredded piece of tissue because it was the last one in the box. I think he does it to let me know I need to add tissues to my shopping list.
Well today, it was this set of videos.
I’m warning you now, ‘cause I like you, GET YOUR TISSUES READY!
The one that got me the worst was My Girl. The instant I saw her sitting on the stairs watching the funeral of her friend, I burst into tears! It was a full on flood, I tell you. In fact, I’ve only watched that movie one time ever, because that scene positively haunts me. And it wasn’t in these clips, but the end scene at the river in Big Fish turns me into a teary, snotty puddle every time. You’d think I’d get over it after the first 50 or so times watching it, but apparently not.
I seem to have made a habit of irrational reactions to movies.
So tell me, what movie gets your wet works really going?
Dear God, I have a terrible time ever since I had kids. not only crying but severe anxiety over the plight of babies, families. Waaay too much empathy. As for general crying, I like the The Notebook for a good cry.

Moulin Rouge and definitely the City of Angels….I have refused to ever watch it again because it was so gut wrenching…I hate crappy endings. lol
