I spent my Friday night watching “The Bridges of Madison County” while the man slept on. Originally I was never really interested in the movie, but I was lazy to switch channels, and I knew it was a classic so I gave it a shot.
HOT DAMN.
I bawled my eyes out. IT. WAS. SO. GOOD. I can’t even explain it, but it broke my heart. It was so wrong, yet it was all so right. I now understand why it is on Pam Beasley’s “Top 5 Deserted Island Movies.”
Which leads me to….. The top four movies which make me cry, guaranteed.
(In no particular order)
1. The Notebook – No matter how many times I see this story I CANNNNNOT for the life of me, stop myself from crying. Its impossible. When Noah goes off on his monologue about how he can’t lose her again, I lose it.
2. Meet the Robinsons – WHAT? A Disney movie you say? I know. I know. Its animated, and its not even that sad. Truth be told I cry in the last five minutes cause it makes me SO FUGGIN’ HAPPY. I will not deny it, the last five minutes make my heart soar. When that Rob Thomas song comes on and everything is in its proper place I just cry… EVERY TIME. Fucking Disney, I tell you.
3. UP – Ohhmahhhgahhhd. I can’t even begin. I can’t even say anything without spoiling it for someone who hasn’t had the pleasure of seeing it. But if I can only grow so old and so grey with the husband by my side I will only be so so so so lucky. Fugg. I tear just at the thought of it all.
4. The Bridges of Madison County – I died, at the EXACT moment where Meryl Streep sees Clint Eastwood standing out in the rain. Died. Like I said, their love (affair) was SO WRONG, YET SO RIGHT. Few people are fortunate enough to feel such passion and love within a lifetime.
Ugh. I’m sure there are a few more on which I can elaborate on, but I’m at a loss for words, plus I’m spent by shedding all these tears.
Must be PMS.
