OMG HOLY CRAP THE SUN IS OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WEEK AND A HALF!

*takes its picture*

*gets its autograph*

*tells all my friends we slept together that one time and it's totally my meteorological fuckbuddy*

EDIT: OMG I went outside and it still exists! It didn't run away and hide! I'm so telling the National Enquirer about this!

OTHER EDIT: Movie scenes that make people cry over at TBoggs. The ones that get me:

-- The Color Purple. Oh, yeah ... pretty much from the moment Shug leads everybody from the juke joint to the church afterwards, which is about forty-five minutes worth of crying.

-- The old couple lying in bed in Titanic, because that's the Strausses and their love story is a hundred times sweeter than stupid Leo and Kate. *sniffle*

-- The end of Love Actually, which I'm kind of embarrassed to admit, but I still say "God Only Knows" is most of the reason. (Although, yes, the people greeting at the airport is a big part, too. But "God Only Knows" kills me.)

-- The ending of The Iron Giant. "Superman ..." *wibbles*

-- The last scene in Schindler's List when everybody's going past his grave. Hell, I'm welling up just thinking about it.

-- The end of My Dog Skip. Which, oh my GOD, you HAVE to see if you've ever had a pet, and at the same time, don't EVER see it if you've had a pet.

-- Pretty much every scene with Sam in Return of the King.

-- The last shot in The Shawshank Redemption, because YES, how perfect was that?!

-- Finding Neverland. Just ... Finding Neverland.

-- The scene when the UN takes all the foreigners and leaves the Rwandans to die in Hotel Rwanda. Actually, that may have been the hardest I've ever cried in a movie theater.

-- The scene in Life is Beautiful where he's carrying his son and comes upon the pile of bodies. Just ... Jesus.

-- And it's not a movie scene, but Joyce's death on BtVS made me want to go hug my mother, and we weren't even getting along that well when it first aired.

-- When Dumbo's mother cradles him through her cage bars.

-- OH! OH! And when Pai is giving the speech at the school in Whale Rider. That one makes me bawl just thinking about it.

Heh, you should appreciate this.

I cry at the end of Terminator 2. When he is lowering himself into the molten metal stuff. It's so embarrassing.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

OMG YES. I can't believe I forgot to put that down. I feel shame. *hangs head*

'When Dumbo's mother cradles him through her cage bars.'

Robert Stack cries at that in 1941.

OMG!!! Glitter!!! Such *icon* love! The glitter effect is fantastic!!!

Parent things make me cry. Especially Dad things. Like in The Patriot when he's leaving, and the little teeny girl runs after him and tells him not to go. Breaks my HEART. For some reason it's more with fathers than mothers (Though Finding Neverland is the exception).

The end of Big Fish always makes me cry *nodnod*

[whitetower.livejournal.com]

I'm not allowed to watch The Iron Giant any more, because of the sobbing that starts, like clockwork, on that exact line. I even got teary just thinking about it while writing this. :(

[drewbeartx.livejournal.com]

Pretty much the entire "comet's about to hit us, run and panic" section at the end of Deep Impact, but especially the one where the parents of Elijah Wood's love interest, Sarah, force their infant child upon her as Sarah's freaking out because she can't leave her parents behind to die.

Dammit. I'm crying just thinking about it.

The end of Million Dollar Baby, when he says:

"Mo cuishle... it means, my darling, my blood."

(If I remember correctly)


I think it's one of the most beautiful lines ever.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. *swoons*

I think the only reason I didn't cry harder at that movie was because I went to see Hotel Rwanda immedidately before it.

I saw Life is Beautiful waaaaay back when it first came out -- it came out, and was only in, like, a few cinemas for awhile, and then it disappeared, but when it got nominated for all those Oscars it came back at tons of cinemas. But my mother and I went to see it at Shirlington, before it was widely available, and I remember that afterwards, in the bathroom, you could tell who'd been in that one because they were the ones who were crying.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I managed to hold myself mostly together in the movie and was fine (but sniffly) until I got outside and into my car. Then I started bawling. Did you ever see a movie where it's a good enough movie, but it hits you at just the right (or wrong) time in your life and it just kills you? That was like that.

So I went home and wrote Roberto Benigni this six-page letter telling him I loved the movie and that I'd been going through a lot at the time and it really struck a chord. A week after the Oscars, I got a phone call from his assistant from Italy to say that he'd loved the letter and really appreciated it. Now, that was awesome. :)

OH! OH! And when Pai is giving the speech at the school in Whale Rider. That one makes me bawl just thinking about it.

Definitely on my list, too. *points at icon* I love it because it's not about death and end of the world, but just a small moment that means a lot to Paikea.

It finally came out here yesterday; good thing, cause I had forgotten what it looked like. But fortunately I have friends all around the country so I simply asked someone who wasn't on the east coast to describe it for me. Still, I was startled when I walked out yesterday afternoon and there it was--until my memory was jogged based on the aforementioned description.

I just got back from working until six a.m. and was trying to sleep, and I got up at 10:30 and was all pissed going, "Why the hell am I awa-- HOLY SHIT THERE'S SUNLIGHT ON MY FACE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

I wish I could say that was an overreaction of what I did but, really, a week and a half.

[sleepyaardvark.livejournal.com]

HAHA yeah I hear ya, it was the same way here. And it was cloudy when I went into work in the morning so when I walked out to go to lunch, I was wondering what the hell that weird warm sensation on my face was--and why the sky wasn't grey-ish.

When Mickey dies in Rocky III.

[jedilora.livejournal.com]

You know, old school Disney puts me in tears quite often. I don't know why, but I am in SHREDS when the dwarves are grieving over Snow White at the end.

Oh, and in the Mary Martin musical version of Peter Pan? When Wendy and the Lost Boys leave for the first time, and Peter doesn't know how to deal with loss, so he keeps a stiff upper lip and just shakes hands with them until they all leave, and then he goes to pieces? Mhm.

1. The fact that is mentions Mickey Rourke having sex making them "ball" has put me ENTIRELY in the wrong frame of mind for thinking of tearfulness.

2. That said, I can't even listen to the Wind Beneath My Wings song from Beaches. I know. Shut up. I have to like pull over if it comes on the radio when I'm driving because immediate welling commences. The specific part of the movie that kills me isn't her driving to her friend's side so much, but her awkwardly trying to figure out what to do with a child.

The bit at the end of A Little Princess (either version, though the 1990s one does it better) where Sarah's father regains his memory. Like, just like that. In the rain. With screaming. And there are holes in the knees of her stockings. *sigh*

[chandri.livejournal.com]

Oh! And the crossing-over-into-Neverland part of Peter Pan. The new one. I get this surge of "Oh my gods I want to be nine again so so much." I don't think it's *supposed* to have that affect. But. o.O

[pinkywundrgrrl.livejournal.com]

We very randomly got a bunch of Disney movie posters at work and one of them is Sky High, you want?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Ooo, yesyesyes! :)

[pinkywundrgrrl.livejournal.com]

Cool! Let me know where you want it shipped!

Grave of the Fireflies. The entire bloody thing. I saw it six years ago, I DON'T usually like anime, and it was in the original Japanese - no subs or dubs. If you've never seen it I highly recommend it; it's the most brilliant piece of anti-war filmmaking I've ever seen.

Fair warning, though, watching the damn thing is quite likely to destroy you. T_T

The shot in the forest followed by stillness and the plaintive cry of "Mother!" from Bambi.

And, yes, even after hearing about it for a couple of years before I saw it and, simultaneously while giggling, I cried when Bambi met Godzilla.
...
And again, a few years ago when I saw it more recently. *sigh* Some things just don't stop getting to me.

Yeah. I'm with you on Dumbo, too. Big time!!!

And, most recently, GODDAMNIT, in Serinity. Yeah. You know the scene. Just sat there in shock thinking, "No! No, that can't have happened!" while the tears slid down my cheeks. Damn-da-damn-damn-damn!!!

Big Fish just killed me in so many places. My father died of cancer in 2000, and there was so much in that movie that I remembered happening to him. Especially the Ensure.
