Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for August 09, 2015

“An Affair to Remember?”

Not all movie crying is good crying. “Charlotte’s Web” (1971)“Sophie’s Choice”“Grave of the Fireflies”I…I have to go sob my guts out now.

“Field of Dreams.” If you’re a guy. With father issues.

“The Black Stallion” I never want that film to end.

Don’t forget, “I Pulled a Hair Out of My Nose.” That always makes me cry.

Two words:1. Old2. Yeller

The Fantastic Four (OK, so I cried for the loss of my money after going to see such a poor remake).

Seriously though, E.T. always makes me cry.

Pixar’s UP. Specifically that scene and the very, very, end.

On another note….has anyone seen the Animaniacs’ “Bumbi’s Mom”, with Slappy and Skippy? TOO funny, especially for those of us.who are movie sobbers.

When my son was little they had “Dumbo” on TV. I had to leave the room so he would see me sobbing when they took his mother away. Interestingly, when he was very little a friend and I took our young sons (3-ish) to see Disney’s “Cinderella” in the theater, my son unexpectedly broke into heart-broken sobs when Cinderella drove away with her prince. All boy, but one after my own heart!

I see now.

Maybe it’s “The Last Unicorn.”

Movies are the fastest way for me to get in touch with my deepest emotions. Phoebe has it right.

Brian’s Song.

’Nuff said.
