This was an ugly sobfest for me when I watched this for the first time.

Day 21: A movie that makes you cry

I’m with you on that…

I’m with you on that…

Usually I do my research on a movie before I watch it, to see what the storyline is without spoiling it. I did not for this

This looks like a good movie

I don’t remember if I did. But I loved this song from the movie too

Day 21. A film that makes me cry.

I get emotional in movies. Visual storytelling affects me, and my kid gives me hell. I tell her I got salt from the popcorn in my eye.

I have a bunch of sad ones, but this is one that wasn't sad, and I still cried (not for the last time in that movie). It was a
a beautiful build up -- a brick tossed in the air in 2014 and landing five years later. And it played out perfectly.

Just three words:

"On your left..."

Avengers: Endgame (2019)

Two more words, finally spoken: "Avengers, assemble."

Day 21: A movie that makes you cry

One of very few Hollywood remakes that gets my OK stamp!

En man som heter Ove, the Swedish original starring absolutely legendary actor Rolf Lassgård, was one of the best films of the last decade, so if you can stomach subtitles and our wonky-ass language then I highly recommend it

I’m ready for my spanking now.

May I barge in for a moment to say:

 

[Bry1313]

Day 21: A movie that makes you cry

Ok. I’m going to have to risk a spanking from our gracious hostess @morelikeasong because my choice is THAT GOOD but technically not a movie.

I’m going to do it anyway though because this was all I could think of when I saw the theme. It had to be The Last of Us, Episode 3: Long, Long Time.

*sob*

Oh my… this episode was its own island within this series. I’m not a fan of zombies or walking dead or anything like that, but I gave this show a try because Pedro Pascal is in it, and well…Pedro Pascal. I made it to episode 3, and at the end, I stood up, went upstairs, changed my tear-soaked shirt, and called it a day on that show. I loved the episode because it was a truly beautiful love story, but omg SO FUCKING SAD.

I highly recommend it when you need a good cry.

I’m ready for my spanking now.

Episode 3 was incredible, Nick Offerman singing Linda Rondstadt…..so damn good

day 21 - A movie that will make you cry
Cinema Paradiso has the single greatest last scene in movie history. I will not debate this and why is it dusty here

En man som heter Ove,

Real men aren't suppose to cry at movies. Although l agree that the original Swedish version was a tear jerker, l still feel Spielberg's Schindler's List gets my vote.

Day 21: A movie that makes you cry

Would it have if it hadn't come out during the year of Hell when I lost my late wife, a 23 year old cat, my stepmother, and my father all within 9 months? Eh, probably. I've always been something of a marshmallow.

Day 22: A movie by your Favorite Director

I don't love every film that David Lynch has created, but I always love his vision. There are many directors out there making outstanding movies, time and time again, but Lynch makes art. It's strange and divisive, but never has he done anything that people go "meh" over.

Provocative. Wonderful.

There are 3 or 4 possible favorite directors I have in mind. This morning I'll go with Christopher Guest.

I wish there was a hug reaction.

The amazing Fritz Lang... The Big Heat isn't as action packed as the trailer suggests, but it is classic film noir. For a time, in London, it played in a double bill with In A Lonely Place, both with Gloria Grahame - who is stunning in this.

Love him. That movie is so good.

Day 22: A movie by your favorite director

I would like very much for this to be a great film... I don't care what the critics are saying or what the collective scores it online... Like the sentiments rightfully attributed to David Lynch, I believe Coppola also makes art...and I appreciate the personal vision he brings to this story...and I want him to pull it off again. I'll be at my local cinema on the 27th.

Day 22: A movie by your favorite director

A film directed by Ron Howard 99.9% of the time is going to be good.

I have never loved you more. He’s not my favorite, but I respect him more than any other creator in Hollywood.

Day 22: A movie by your Favorite Director

Not a whole lot of women in the director's chair back in Old Hollywood. I might not have a favorite director per se but Dorothy Arzner is a great one. Merrily We Go to Hell is a pre-Code gem if you ask me. As one reviewer put it on Letterboxd:
imagine your wife telling you she's bringing her side piece to a party and she shows up with CARY GRANT. would just cut my losses at that point honestly.
