Everyone Needs a Good Cry

It's true. Crying is really good for you says some really smart professor of some kind that I made up for this blog.

No, but really, sometimes you just gotta let it out.

I was inspired recently to comprise a list of my "go to" crying movies, and here we go...

CAUTION : THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS THROUGHOUT THIS BLOG

These are things that make me cry no matter how many times I see them:

-Deep Impact

It's a movie about a meteor flying towards earth and life as we know it will end in a mtter of days. Elijah Wood pre-hobbit life stars in this tear jerker of a film.

The movie as a whole is "ok", but it does pack a punch with it's cast of A-listers. i.e. Morgan Freeman, Tea Leoni, Elijah Wood, Leelee Sobieski, Robert Duvall, James Cromwell, Blair Underwood, and a few others.

The crying starts basically when the scientists that have flown off to stop the meteor realize that they will be sacrificing themselves for the good of earth, but a few moments that make the tears fall a little faster include when the spaceman who was blinded by the original mission they were sent up to do, has to say a tearful farewell to his wife and newborn since his departure. One moment that always gets my goat is when Elijah comes to take LeeLee to the bomb shelter on his moped and her mom then passes the baby off onto Leelee. As Leelee goes hysterical so do I.



-Buffy The Vampire Slayer - CHOSEN

I have watched the final episode of Buffy 6 times and it never fails. Given I have shed less and less tears everytime that I have watched it, but in all fairness I believe that cried for the entire 45 minutes the first time I watched it.

The part that does always seem to tug on the heart strings is when Buffy feeds Spike a tearful "I love you" and he hands it right on back to her. Oh my strong little peroxide Brit.



-Angel - A HOLE IN THE WORLD

I have only seent his episode twice, but have cried like a baby both times. Just when everything is set right, and Fred and Wesley are finally together(in which I believe they should have since Fred was brought back to the earth in season 3. Thanks alot, Joss Whedon)Fred just has to go and die in Wesley's arms just to come back as an old god named Illyria in a Fred shell. Sad.

I will give props where props are desevred. Even though I missed Fred and really wanted her and Wesley together forever, Amy Acker did such a kick ass job portraying this crazy different character.



-The Office - CASINO NIGHT

Jim and his tearful "I'm in love with you" paired with Pam's confused "I can't"



-Beaches

Don't judge me. That shit is sad.



-Sex and the City - MY MOTHERBOARD, MY SELF

Miranda rushes to PA to be by her mother's side as she passes away. When the girls come out to the funeral, the biggest concern of Miranda's family is that she will be following the casket alone. As they are following the casket out of the church, after the ceremony, Miranda begins to break down. Seeing this Carrie quickly steps in and grabs Miranda's hand and then walks down the aisle with her. And if that's not enough to get your tearducts pumpin', in one of the final pews sits Aiden and Steve. Swoon.

Even though it's not a movie or TV show, something else that always makes me cry no matter what is, Nate Irvin.

Anytime I see him in a play and he has anything resembling an emotional solo I am going to cry.
