I have always been a bit on the sentimental side, I can remember watching movies with my mom when I was a kid and getting choked up, Terms of Endearment, Beaches, and Steel Magnolias are three that come to mind immediately, but it was nice to sit down and watch a baseball movie like Field of Dreams with my dad and see him wiping away tears at a few points to get that validation that sentimentality isn't necessarily a bad thing and that even real men can have their heart strings tugged on from time to time.
ReplyDeleteBeaches usually does it for me too. God damn you, Wind Beneath My Wings montage.
DeleteWell said. Totally agree.
ReplyDeleteOh man, you totally scooped me this week, but I'll still be writing about Field of Dreams in my post--one of my all time favorite movies. It just gets better and better with every viewing, and still gives me chills from the very first words whispered in the corn field.
ReplyDeleteI almost went for Transformers: The Movie but I just watched it about a month ago and it didn't do it for me. Field of Dreams will get me until the end of time.
DeleteLooking forward to your take!
+1 for Optimus Prime death. Michael Bay should have taken better notes.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across an article for the many deaths of Optimus Prime...thinkit's up to like 8 or 9 now counting cartoons, movie, and comics.
DeleteHe's like the Jason Vorhees of robots now.
