There are few movies as a whole that have made me cry, though there have been a few scenes. I can't really think of many of them at the moment, but one that sticks out of my mind is a show I watched when I was a child.
The Dog Who Stopped the War
Now the movie was B-Grade material. Granted it was an 80's film, the whole possibility of creating snow forts that looked like real castles, with tunnels and fortifications is unlikely, though it was very cool for a kid at a young age - I wanted one badly. For those who have no clue what this film was about, a bunch of Canadien children decide to have a snowball war against eachother, and it gets out of hand, in which it goes all out snowball and fist fights and it begins to be taken too seriously. The part which turned this strangely weird 80's film into a heartbreaker was the death of one of the kid's Saint Bernards, Cleo, who gets upset and attempts to save her owner who is trapped when the large snowfort comes crashing down. The dog was pathetically cute. If there was any dog that deserved a film award, it was this dog hands down. Of course, after the initial shock the children are like "OMG, the dog died" and then shortly after they're at it again. Then it shows past scenes of the dog all happy with her owner, and oh well, it was upsetting.
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
Another movie that I found somewhat sad was this one. It begins with widow Mrs. Muir moving into an old house, where she meets a ghost. The ghost, a captain, begins to like the woman, and grows a friendship with her. He eventually helps her gain money by allowing her to publish his story, however, she meets another man and the ghost gets jealous (even though she really didn't like the man all that much). Eventually, the ghost leaves before she can explain, and she lives out the rest of her life (perhaps 40 years) alone, hoping the captain would return. The end in which she dies and the captain greets her on the other side as they walk off together was very well done. It made me sad for she waited forty years for the captain. Forty. Years. All because an idiot conman tried to steal her money by attempting to seduce her.
sex is not 'action' it's
drama
and sometimes horror
and perhaps suspense
yes, lots of suspense
