Corner Booth

A friend and I have been debating the saddest movie of all time since the Grullivan wedding and it has sparked me to try to think of my top 5 sad movies. This took me a loooong time, but I think I came up with a decent list. In making this list, I've discovered that in most of the films someone dies, which leads me to the conclusion that death is sad. I don't like it and certainly don't support it...unless the person deserves it (hey, I'm not heartless, but some people deserve to die...we'll get into that later). So without further ado here are my top 5 saddest movies:

Honorable Mention:
-Transformers: The Movie (Optimus Prime dies)
-Armageddon (Scene where Bruce Willis says goodbye to his daughter - cue Aerosmith)

Top 5:
5. Old Yeller (I couldn't shoot my dog...or could I?)
4. The Notebook (Love of my life not remembering me...I could do without it)
3. Dead Poets Society (Once again...death, plus charismatic life changing teacher being fired...then honored by his students-tear)
2. My Girl (I remember watching this at my grandmother's for the first time...alone...and crying)
1. Life As A House (No way anyone with a heart can watch this and not have tears running down their cheeks at the end)

So there it is, indisputable evidence that I am a big, weepy girl. Sorry, Karin, "The Christmas Shoes" did not make the list...you had to see that coming though. As always, you are all free to comment and tell me how lame I am and how sad my list is...but in doing so you would prove me right. I win, you lose, mini-celebration dance in honor of me!
Much Love,
Bo
