Big Fish rocked me, since the char reminds me of my dad's penchant for long stories of his life. I made him watch it, and he hit me. I'm serious. I got home right after he finished it, still red-faced, and he lovingly hit my arm and said something along the lines of "Why'd you make me watch that, damnit!"
That whole funeral scene turns on my faucets.
As a kid, Batteries Not Included. Ugh. I rememeber fleeing the room because I didnt watn my parents to know I was crying. This happened like 6 times. I hope they believed I just needed to pee a whole bunch.
the scene with Clive Owen walking Kee and her baby out of the building. everyone just staring at them in silence...crazy.
Damn you! I went back to post a second message saying this scene. Holy balls. I saw this in the theaters, alone, so I was pretty deep into that movie.

Unless you're the thrilla, in which case the notebook is the the notebook for dudes.
They both make me cry, but the notebook pisses me off about it. At the end scene they may as well have little kids with cancer fight off a pack of beagle puppies that also have cancer.

I'd pay good money to see a movie with this as a plot.
