oh fine. go ahead w/ the thread. what do i care. im not redirecting it tho, sumone else can do that.

but in future warning, and this is not totally directed to filmcritic but to many who start threads like 'what's up w/ the frogs" or "pta's next movie' or 'who's ever seen the godfather'-- use the search function.

To be fair to filmcritic, the previous topic was Saddest Movie Moment ( http://xixax.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2053 ). While some movies listed might overlap, I'll reopen this (but someone already has) because the majority of those films are noted for their specific scenes only, not for the film as a whole.

When you changed your name to Egg MacMuffin, my contempt for you grew a full 25 %.. I'm glad now you changed it back. I admit though, the Egg MacMuffin isn't that bad a food. In fact, it's a nice enjoyable breakfast! My problem though lies in the fact that it's a McDonalds breakfast. If the MacMuffin ever decides to switch loyalties, Burger King will be waiting with open arms. The tragedy of the whole thing is that I have to hate the Egg MacMuffin because it's a McDonalds food, even though I enjoy it. I know I'm betraying myself here though in supporting even one item on their menu. My contempt for you grew a full 25 % not because you support Egg MacMuffins, but because you spit on my face by supporting McDonalds. You've broken my heart, you've stabbed me in the face, you've lit my rotting carcass on fire and danced on my grave. Thanks for changing it back though, now it's time to put the past behind us.

Don't worry, I don't even get up for breakfast. If I did, I certainly never, NEVER will go into that pitt of hell. I'd settle for cinamin toast crunch. Actually, maybe the frosted flakes. It's not so much the taste, but I like the animal mascots better. I guess the talking lion fits better with the kitchen, and I like the frosted crunch more than maybe life itself. I miss those days when a simple cereal would last until lunch time, and I'd wake up with the birds, but now the sun is a part of my abyss of sleep. The moon is what I will wake up to soon. What am I supposed to do? Sleep earlier? I hate to get defensive here over you, filmcritic, but you're putting me in that position. You know what I'm talking about, you're just as lazy. I'm wasting my days sleeping through the sunlight.

Aren't we all glad we unlocked this thread now?


But seriously, filmcritic, how old are you?

I don't know about everyone else, but Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar was pretty hard on my Kleenex supply.

Once again, MrBurgerKing saves the day !

I'm actually starting to wonder if filmcritic does this on purpose...

I've only ever cried at the end of 3 movies:

Rashomon
The Royal Tenenbaums
Cool Runnings :(

Can somebody direct me to the other tearjerker page? The search engine never works for me.

Right? It must be me or something, seriously. Macguffin works too hard on a site with a search engine. I'm not the only one he has to redirect.

this is pathetic.

Post by: ono on September 24, 2004, 11:57:02 PM
*kick* This thread may be pathetic, but I'm still looking for some sad movies.  Not movies with sad moments, like that other thread, but movies that just kick you in the gut throughout.  Any suggestions?  Movies as sad as these are the only ones that need to apply:

* Lilja 4-Ever
* Dancer in the Dark
* ...

Umm... yeah, there really aren't that many that REALLY exhaust you.  Maybe I've become a bit desensitized.  Prove me wrong.  Please and thank you.

What about movies that are happy and sad and tearjerking all at the same time? 2003 had two good ones... Whale Rider & In America.

Post by: Ghostboy on September 25, 2004, 03:56:31 AM
Movies that personally kicked me in the gut in the manner Ono speaks of:

Affliction
Nil By Mouth
The War Zone
Leaving Las Vegas (but only the first time I saw it)

These films have no joy in them, but they're wonderful for it.

I thought She's So Lovely was sorta cute, but I barely remember anything about it.

In America is definitely one of the best happy (and honest) tearjerkers I've seen in a long time.

When I was younger I watched the movie Imaginary Crimes and I remember it being unbearably sad.  It starred Harvey Keitel and Fairuza Balk.  Not a "chick flick" tear jerker, more of a life-gone-wrong tear jerker.
