Kitty's Corner

As some of my regular readers know, I watch a lot of movies. I like action movies, comedies, thrillers and romantic movies. I do not like war movies and science fiction movies much, even though I've seen some of them. But that is not what this post is about. This post is meant as a "I Movies"-post.

So - here is my top 5 list over films that made me cry:


# 5 : The World according to Garp
It has been one of my favourite movies for a long time. The writer of the book, John Irving, has a great way to portrait his characters. Robin Williams plays a great role as T.S. Garp, and his mom is played brilliantly by Glenn Close. The movie has a lot of hilarious scenes, but the ending is just soooo sad. It makes me cry every time.



# 4 : Titanic
I rewatched this fantastic movie not long ago, and it still made me cry. Not as much as the first times I saw it, but yes, I did cry again.
I think it's the fact that the story about Titanic is true - not the story about the characters in the film, but the historical facts.
It's on my shelf. I will watch it again. And I will cry. Again.



# 3: La Vita è bella (Life is Beautiful)
If you haven't seen this Italian film yet, then you ought to do it soon. It's about a Jewish man, who falls in love with a non-Jewish woman, marries her, has a kid and who is then taken as a prisoner in a concentration camp along with his wife and kid. The film portrays the way he protects his kid from the horrors of the genocide, and how he always tries to find ways to make his wife and kid smile and laugh.
If this movie doesn't make you cry, no movie will!




# 2: Highlander
I have the whole Highlander-series on my shelf. I like the first one the best though. These movies about the battles between the immortals where "there can be only one" holds a special place in my heart.
And how can they possibly make me cry, you might ask yourself.
It's especially the scene where his first wife dies of age that makes me cry my eyes out.



# 1: P.S. I love you
This movie was released only last year. It's about a young couple who has been married for nine years, when the husband dies of a brain tumor. Knowing he only has a short time to live he writes her a series of letters that will guide her through her grief.
I've watched it three times now, and it is the only movie I have watched where I cry from the beginning to the end. My throat is sore and my eyes are puffy after watching it. But I love it. It's a must see!
"PS. I love you till the end!"


Chick Flicks? Yeah maybe - but good movies too!
