Dave I tell you what, for some reason I also cry with sport movies.

"The natural" makes me cry every time, and I can't even watch "Field of Dreams" any more. The waterworks start with the music in the opening scene, I'm tearing right now just thinking about it. It just triggers all the "father/son" stuff in me.

I cry like a baby during the final scene of Field of Dreams when he's playing catch with his dad. That scene just kills me. Also, the drama I chose titled My Life when Michael Keaton finally is overcome by his cancer and starts to make ammends with his family before he dies, dude, I need a freakin' chamois!

So movies that make me cry. I'll probably sound like a total nerd but that part in Terminator 2: Judgment Day at the end where the Terminator gets lowered into the molten steel sometimes makes me wanna . Can't believe I just admitted that . Other movie that made my are The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption. Also that scene in Crash were that girl got "shot". And also the end of The Lord of the Rings.


And since were also doing these genres.....

Western: Unforgiven

Sports: Million Dollar Baby

Musical: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street


Top 10 Directors & Movie:

Quentin Tarantino - Pulp Fiction

Martin Scorsese - Goodfellas

Alfred Hitchcock - Rear Window

Joel & Ethan Coen - Fargo or No Country For Old Men

Stanley Kubrick - The Shining would probably be my fav.

Tim Burton - Edward Scissorhands

Peter Jackson - The Lord of the Rings

Steven Spielberg - Saving Private Ryan

Billy Wilder - Double Indemnity

Ridley Scott - American Gangster

I don't know why, but I don't have favorite directors. I just like the film, or I don't. I guess I don't really care who made it, or I think it's a group effort and won't give credit to one person. But as far as watching a movie based on the director I would have to choose, Spielberg, Ridley Scott, John Hughes and Nancy Meyers, only because of a good track record. What about the worst movie you ever saw? (the one you couldn't finish, or complained about) Natural Born Killers/ Woody Harrelson.

DRAMA – Phantom of the Opera(live is better IMO)

ACTION/ADVENTURE – The Last Samurai / Yojimbo / V for Vandetta

MILITARY - Saving Private Ryan

COMEDY – Monty Python and the Holy Grail/National Lampoons Van Wilder

ROMANTIC – I guess titanic

HORROR – It / Texas Chainsaw Massacre(new one)

SCIENCE FICTION – Back to the future / Matrix / Terminator Series / and Star Wars(remakes)
