I've always fondly remembered
The Fox and the Hound as a great, profoundly sad Disney movie. I cried the first time I saw it in theaters; I cried two years ago when last I saw it. Today I bought it on DVD, and even at the age of almost-25 and knowing it was coming, darn it, I cried again.
This happened for two different scenes: Right at the beginning when Tod's mother sets him down in a safe place and licks him a few times as if saying goodbye to him, and the farewell song with Widow Tweed dropping Tod off in the forest. The first scene had a couple tears coming down, the latter (just like every time before it) made me have tears streaming down my face. Hell, I heard the
intro to the song and started sobbing.
Yeah, I'm a softy, is there something I can do for you?
I also cried during the latter stages of
Click as Adam Sandler's life fast-forwarded more and more out of his control. (Especially when he learned that his father had died).
Anyway... I know The W is predominately male, but it's 2007 and so allegedly it's okay to admit these kinda things. So, what movie makes
you cry every single time? And I don't mean "it made me cry the first time", I mean you put it in the DVD player
knowing you're going to cry, brace yourself for the emotional impact and it
still hits you like a ton of bricks.
(I'm not excluding women from this question either, don't get me wrong!)

"I'd like to tell you about a guy I know, a friend of mine. His name is Brian Piccolo. And he has the heart of a giant, and that rare form of courage that allows him to kid himself and his opponent, cancer. He has a mental attitude that makes me proud to have a friend who spells out the world 'courage,' 24 hours a day, every day of his life. Now you honor me by giving me this award. But I say to you here now Brian Piccolo is the man who deserves the George S. Halas award. It is mine tonight... and Brian Piccolo's tomorrow. I love Brian Piccolo. And I'd like all of you to love him too. And so tonight, when you hit your knees, please ask God to love him." |
