It's a moral imperative I do this one right now.

For kikiduck: Five movies that make Dean Winchester cry (except he's Dean, so you know, just kind of choke up a little bit in a manly sort of way.)

1. Rudy. Dude, the guy wants to play football for Notre Dame. Let the guy play football, damn it.

2. The Iron Giant. And he wasn't even going watch it because it's a cartoon and he hasn't had to watch cartoons since Sammy grew out of 'em, but he caught the beginning of the damn thing one night after coming down from a job. I mean, come on. The robot doesn't want to be a gun, he wants to be Superman. It's the only time Dean ever thinks of guns as bad.

3. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. They lobotomized Nicholson, for fuck's sake.

4. The Shawshank Redemption. Aw, come on. Everybody gets choked up at that, right? That's got to be worth a freebie. (Plus, wrongful imprisonment? Been there, done that, man.)

5. Beaches. What? He managed to avoid it thanks to an overabundance of testosterone in the family, but then he stayed over Cassie's one night and she put it on after all the sex and it wasn't exactly like he had enough energy to protest, you know what I'm saying?

Hey, the kid's mom died, all right?

... oh, shut up.

Oh, man, this is excellent. *tears up*

You know, I'm sad that Field of Dreams didn't make the list, because that's pretty much another freebie, but Beaches completely and totally makes up for that. Awesome.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, he might not be sure if Shawshank is a freebie, but he's DEFINITELY sure about Field of Dreams. All men get to cry at Field of Dreams, no exceptions, and no mocking allowed. ;)

LOVE on the Iron Giant one. LOVE. That movie never fails to make me whimper like a five year old who just watched Bambi for the first time.

well, damn it, now i'm imagining sam and dean watching 'lilo and stitch' and CRYING MY LITTLE HEAD OFF.

It's the only time Dean ever thinks of guns as bad.

Hee! I love this. ♥

[cacklebang.livejournal.com]

.... You win so hard for putting Rudy on that list. ♥

[alieneyes.livejournal.com]

I loved the Rudy one so much, I don't know why, I just did.

Good read, thanks.

again with the 'you're going to drag me into this fandom before i have the actual time to devote to it', hunh?

except this time, finally, i can just sit down and do the algebra homework and not freeze into a lump... so there may actually be time to do this sooner than I'd thought.

after all, i have a reason to rewatch 7 of my favorite movies, now, too.

you win at life.

*snickers* Every time I drag someone into Supernatural fandom, I get one digit of Jensen Ackles's cell phone number. *nods solemnly*

[girlwiththebook.livejournal.com]

well you dragged me into it long ago. i was reading your fic before i saw the show.

[mellaithwen]

lmao! ah never a dull moment

[jellicle.livejournal.com]

Loved this!
And seriously, who didn't cry watching "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Beaches"?
And I'd add "The Green Line" to the list, too... (and how come SK's dramas are turned into better movies than his horror books?)

Anyway, back to topic, loved the list!

[strix-an-stones.livejournal.com]

Um... *waves hand* I didn't cry. But I did cry over Prince of Tides and thought it was much better than Beaches. But then I am a disagreeable sort ;)

[gweneiriol.livejournal.com]

hee!

[lasergirl.livejournal.com]

That's an AWESOME list and I love you!

*snerk*
Iron Giant!
*sniffle*
Beaches!
*sniffle*

Well, yeah, all of them except 'Rudy', i've never seen that.
*football*
*shudder*

I don't even watch the show and I LOL'd. Also, am reminded I need to add The Iron Giant to my Netflix queue.

[danxsunday.livejournal.com]

I don't always cry at the Iron Giant....just sometimes I get something in my eye ;)

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

It's not the movies (half of them I'm not familiar enough to get) but the comments. I mean "Let the guy play football, damn it." and "The robot doesn't want to be a gun, he wants to be Superman. It's the only time Dean ever thinks of guns as bad.".

I mean... oh, DEAN.

I'm sorry I can't be more articulate, but it's so incharacter, and true, and exactly what he'd say (if you could get him to say anything, which you coulddn't.)
