Band of Brothers is the only movie I have actually kinda cried during. Saving private ryan got me chocked up when I realized who the old man was at the beginning.

How could I forget Philadelphia?

I think episode 3 will be the redemption of Ana... I mean George Lucas.

Titanic. I have watched it about 50 times, it never ceases to bring on the floodworks.

My first date with husband, at his dorm room at cooking school, I made him watch it. I went through an entire roll of toilet paper crying so hard (hey, he was a student, no Kleenex!) I actually busted a blood vessel in my eye that time from crying so hard.

I think I love that movie so much is because it lets me shed the tears I couldn't, or would not, in daily life. Also, when I was a very little girl, 3 or 4, at my church, I met an actual survivor of the Titanic, her husband perished. She was in her 90's, dressed in black, still in mourning, all those years later.

Then me & my sweetie watched Fight Club and schemed to fill the campus's fish ponds with instant-acting jello, mixed with food coloring; by the dumptruck loads in the middle of the night. Seafood aspic, anyone?

You're a woman. You cry at Titanic. You're meant to cry at that shit, dammit!

Actually, I found it upsetting because they try so hard and it comes to no avail.

I cried when I saw this French movie "Ponette"....about a little girl dealing with grief after the death of her mom. The little actress, her name eludes me this moment, was AMAZING.

Oh God, that movie was so heart-wrenching . . . I don't know the actress' name either, but I caught the film one hangover afternoon, and was entranced.

I bawled like a baby at the end of Pay It Forward. I also cry at Hallmark commercials, talk shows when Montel gives some impoverished family a car or some clothes or groceries for a year, and other assorted TV tripe.

I also watched most of Top Gun when I came home last night from drinks with my girlfriends. I always cry when Goose dies. And I drool when the boys are playing volleyball . . .
