What films make me cry...

I've just talked about it in the video i've just posted... yes please excuse the way i look at the minute i looked rough!!!

Anyway the films that make me cry, they're usually more likely to be children's films that i used to watch when i was a kid... so The Lion King is definitely the top of the list as I remember watching this as a kid and balling my eyes out!!!

So here we go....
 1) The Lion King makes me cry when Simba's dad dies...

 Yes this scene is of course the stampede  the evil Scar has set Simba up in a trap to ultimately kill his father and become the King of the Pride! The Scene you see here on the youtube videos uses actually CGI animation into the traditional drawn Disney animation. The way in which this scene gets to my heart is down to the fact that I literally feel how Simba feels... it's wired to be so connected to a cartoon Lion .... but then that is the characterisation of the actual animation behind the film. The amount of effort that has gone into that is amazing.

Anyway it does make me cry like a baby ... and also can you feel the love tonight when he is reunited with Nala... I love it... Lion King 2 does as well!!!

2) ET when he dies .... and when the doctors are doing tests on him.... Oh my god i cry my eyes out !!!

I cry like a baby as it's again all about the narrative and the characterisation, a little boy and an extra terrestrial who he has cared for and has bonded with and suddenly he dies... and that connection is what makes ET come back to life ... I never knew a Alien could make me cry let alone a kid... when he cries (Eliot) thats it i'm gone!!!!

It's really really sad .... Steven Spielberg's fault!!!!







3) When Black Beauty Dies!!!

I can only get the trailer, based on the novel by Anna Sewell The 1994 film makes me ball my eyes again throughout all over a beautiful horse!!!

When his friend Ginger dies thats it i'm gone... the horse nuzzles her begging her to wake up and it's so painful... there are many moments in this film that are so touching and also a brilliant film with an all star British cast.


Don't watch without tissues!!!




4) When Satine Dies in the Moulin Rouge...

Yes again all I could find is the trailer, but this  scene is just painful to watch, throughout we have had the love building and blossoming ... the forbidden fruit... Romeo and Juliet but set in France... Christian is in Love with Satine... Satine is in Love with Christian but she can't fall in love with her... the pain and misery and the drama that unfolds to then right at the very end she dies from TB! Frustrating but heart braking.... my heart literally broke into two ... when Christian holds her in his arms and just screams and cries.
Amazing film but i need tissues!!



5) When MeatLoaf dies in the Rocky Horror Picture show

 The full clip YES!!!!

Why do I cry I have no explanation ... maybe it's the horror and disbelief that someone could actually put an axe into Meatloaf's head.... it's actually not very nice!!!! Anyway Short version is I cry!!!








6) Avatar when Neytiri finds Jake in Human Form and they say I see you!!
I ball like a baby throughout this film, the moment when Jake takes his first steps as an Avatar and ends up running. When Home Tree is destroyed and of course when Jake is found by Neytiri in the pod thing and he's unconscious and OH WHEN GRACE DIES!!!!

Yes Avatar is an emotional ride on an epic scale with Alien/human Love and the threat of a race being wiped out due to the Human vistors ... James Cameron I salute you!





and thats all i can think of for now !!!!!
