Movies That Make You Cry - THE NOTEBOOK

First of all, Happy Mother's Day 2010. Now if your mothers are anything like my mother, then she is generally sensitive, caring, motherly, a tiny bit suffocating-- and in short, "emo." In fact, you may say she is sometimes addicted to all movies/TV shows that make her exercise those varying levels of estrogen. Basically, she likes to have a good cry every now and then. [case in point: right now, all my mom wants to do on this day dedicated to her, is watch her effin soap on TFC-- the (fucking) filipino channel.] But if you prefer legitimate acting, writing, and directing in films, then I would suggest watching one of the 20 movies I'll be blogging about throughout the week....

Make no mistake, these movies are *guaranteed* to make you shed a tear and I hope you enjoy clips of them for your cry-worthy, viewing pleasure. So go on ahead and grab Mom or anyone dear to you for that matter. Hold tight as you watch these tearjerker movies... coz soon you're gonna wanna sob like the baby.

The Notebook
I just had to begin with this movie. For one, there are so many lines I can quote from this incredibly romantic, honest, moving film about young summer love that endures snobby parents, a war, another man, Alzheimer's, and essentially, a lifetime. We are sucked into Noah and Allie's love almost immediately-- at which point, there is no turning back.

The Breaking Point: just moments after Noah and Allie find themselves happy together again, they have a fight in which she realizes she must leave him. His last plea for her to stay is the smartest, sweetest words I've ever heard any man say. [Sorry Boyfriend!] And for those of u who don't remember it or wanna relive what LOVE really looks like... Here it is....
