*Sob* *Sob* Movies that make you cry ...
 

A few weeks ago I saw Seven Pounds starring Will Smith ... with my wife. Not wanting to spoil the surprise ending I will not share the nature of the story but will tell you that I came out of the theater ... BAWLING.

For those that know some of my past you'd probably figure out why.

I was really surprised at myself ... thinking that wound had scarred over ... but all it took was a movie to open it up for at least a while ...

I almost wished I hadn't seen it.

It did give me a reason to buy some pizza after the movie, however.

The first movie I can recall that really made me cry ... and not just tear ... was Beaches. Have any of you seen it ...?

And every time I see the Passion of Christ ... I cry also. Seeing what my Savior must have endured for me ... is reason enough.

What movies make you sob? Why?

Facing the Giants

Especially the scene where they are in the kitchen, and discussing the fact that their whole world has fallen apart. No kids, losing the job, car broken down, house stinks, no money.

Anne of Green Gables

When Matthew dies in the field, and Anne is there to watch him die.

Anne came to Matthew (her adopted daddy) by accident. They had asked the orphanage for a boy, so that Matthew would have help around the farm, but they got Anne instead. They decided to keep Anne cause they came to love her.

I don't know your history, but I can attest to the same thing when my wife and I saw it a few weeks back. I was NOT prepared for that. No wonder they kept the plot very secretive before its release!

Another one was Marley and Me. I had not read the book and was completely unprepared. I am a dog lover, and the owner of an elderly (13 years old) yellow lab myself. Within the last few months, Greta has shown signs of degrading health - she is hard of hearing and has trouble with stairs. The parts at the end were just too real for me and I found myself holding back sobs. Very embarassing and un-macho! :lol
