movie cry baby...

I love to watch movies over and over again. My dad used to make fun of this and when I lived at home would beg to not have to repeat things we had already seen. I have been on a nostalgic journey through my favorite cinema lately. I am quite sure that very few, if any, of these films will be on the AFI: Top 100 list (unless they have changed to add the 10 Things I Hate about You), but, they are movies that I love and that have been standbys for my existence.

The thing that I have noticed is that many of these movies now make me cry. It is amazing how life can take things in a movie that you never even really noticed and now make it something that has you wiping your eyes. I have been a crier my entire life, and, not always a well timed one. Now I have an even shorter threshold for boo-hooing...

I guess I should just embrace this and go into all movies, whether it be animated, romantic comedy, or actual drama, with a packet of tissues and no shame and with the knowledge that feeling someone else's emotion just heightens the human experience.
