ON MOVIES ~ Tears of a Clown...

Feature Presentation...

MONDAY MOVIE MEME

Molly looked around for a weekly meme about movies and did not have any luck. So therefore she decided to start her own! Andy will play along as well - hopefully you will too. Go to your blog and create your own post on the topic, linking back to us in your post, then come back and leave a link to your post here in our Comments section. If you don’t have a blog, just share your response in the Comments section.

This week's movie topic is all about Tear Jerkers...

The Bumbles aren't big criers. In fact we find "a good cry" to be quite the oxymoron. So therefore we don't go looking for sad movies - but every now and then a movie tricks us into thinking it is going to be perfectly fun and some damn sad scene gets snuck in there. We put on the brave face, but that stupid tear starts trickling out the corner of an eye and next thing you know, our sleeve is all wet because, being tricked into the sad scene, we didn't have any kleenex handy. Here are the few that really did a number on us. Why don't you share some others with us so that we aren't caught off guard without our tissues?

My Girl (thought this was a comedy, biggest sucker punch ever)

Beaches (even though Molly read the book first & knew what was coming, it didn't matter)

Steel Magnolias (too much star power to avoid)

Awakenings (such optimism, but forgot that medicine isn't an exact science)

To Kill A Mockingbird (the best story ever is morally moving, chokes us up every time)

Life Is Beautiful (OK, OK, it's about the Holocaust - but such a happy title makes you think it might be the exception to the rule)
