I have a recording of Colm Wilkinson singing it and I love his voice to begin with, so it's really Niagara Falls when I listen to that song.<BR/><BR/>The part in the book that makes me cry the most is when Fantine sells her teeth--I just cannot fathom going that far for the well-being of someone else! I guess I will feel differently if I ever become a mother myself.<BR/><BR/>Guaranteed tearjerkers for me include Terms of Endearment and, while I was in France and away from my fiance, Big Fish. I bawled and bawled every time Edward came "back from the dead". I also remember crying copiously while reading the end of Where the Red Fern Grows.<BR/><BR/>I also seem to cry at every wedding scene or birth scene in any TV show, movie or commercial. What can I say? I'm a basket case!Mme.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896269207742090123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-1122771865571558542005-07-30T21:04:00.000-04:002005-07-30T21:04:00.000-04:00Snap! on the old lady Hallmark ad.

I actually have the "Watts" episode of EHM on tape - anyone? anyone? - and can just use the thought of it to make me weep. Sweet Alice! <BR/><BR/>Another sob fiesta for me - years ago now - was "Shadowlands". Oh, and "Whale Rider".teletarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907652781580414460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-1122534902213345202005-07-28T03:15:00.000-04:002005-07-28T03:15:00.000-04:00On the Les Mis thing- I never really understood Br...On the Les Mis thing- I never really understood Bring Him Home until I saw it recently. People were always going crazy over that song and I was kind of ambivalent. But OH MY GOSH, I heard it and I was totally crying.<BR/><BR/>But don't tell anyone cause that's kind of embarrassing. ;)Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527071642688871855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-1122503717529232712005-07-27T18:35:00.000-04:002005-07-27T18:35:00.000-04:00Extreme Homemaker over does it for me, I too love ...Extreme Homemaker over does it for me, I too love see Ty, shirtless or not, But I end up blubbering so much, my husband makes me turn the show!!! (I secretly think that he is jealous of Ty!!) As for the song, I have never heard it, but Im going to try and find it now, so I can hear it!

Same goes for The Rookie, a Disney baseball movie from a few years ago. Hmm. And Hardball, a movie about Keanu Reeves as a gambling junkie who takes on a ghetto little league team for spare cash. His funeral speech gets me every time.Bottle Rocket Fire Alarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344214046066535565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-1122458730209511982005-07-27T06:05:00.000-04:002005-07-27T06:05:00.000-04:00I too have given up EHMO.

Shawshank is an unbelievably great movie and I don't care who knows that it makes me cry.<BR/>As for "Last Game of the Season" I'll be heading over to Morpheus to look that one up. I'm a sucker for songs that play with my emotions.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09890140851141045588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-1122455617002509202005-07-27T05:13:00.000-04:002005-07-27T05:13:00.000-04:00Aloha!

God forbid if I was wearing a little makeup too. What a mess!<BR/><BR/>For the short tear-jerkers like Hallmark commercials, I tell myself that the little old lady had no mail because she was really a former Nazi in hiding, desperate for some literature about the neo-Nazi regime and their terrorist plots. Or perhaps she is a recovering cannibal and has eaten all her loved ones. Or maybe the mailman is the grownup child she molested, and has devoted his life to intercepting her mail and making her believe no one could ever care about her for all her evil sins. I delight in imagining why someone doesn't deserve my tears.<BR/><BR/>But those damn families on Extreme Home Makeover, who are too sad to be true, get me every time! The last one I watched was with the family who asked for the home makeover for the woman they never met, who donated an organ (or marrow or something) to their daughter, and in the end the two families met for the first time. How do you thank someone for saving your baby and giving her an organ?! A complete stranger! Ohhh, I need a tissue! <BR/><BR/>:'(Doggie Extraordinaire's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138977309007607488noreply@blogger.com
