Romantic films.
Some of you out in B3ta land may have noticed that I am of the lady persuasion, however I am not a great fan of the genre of chick flicks etc. There are a few films though that make the old oestrogen get pumping and tears will usually be squeezed out.

1. Brief Encounter

A black and white movie from the 40's which is about a doomed extra marital affair and totally bereft of any passion but it works somehow. Still makes me cry like a baby at the end. I love the clipped British accents and the way they meet by him, (a doctor), getting some grit out of her eye in a railway cafe. (I've always kept that little ruse at the back of my head for meeting men but never used it).

2. Secretary

One of the most beautiful films I've ever watched. A story of two sexual misfits and their journey to love via some light bondage. I always cry at the end when he picks her up in her soiled clothing, (a wedding dress ?), and carries her away to be bathed. Always gives me the urge for a good spanking also.

3. King Kong (1933 version)

The shit that gorilla goes through to protect and keep Fay Wray always brings a lump to my throat. The love you can see in his eyes for her and the ending where she's the last thing he sees as he dies. Beautiful.

4. ? (Found the film!) It's called Torch song trilogy.

There is a film I saw years ago on the TV about two gay men and their relationship. It had Matthew Broderick in it and the gay Jewish guy from Independance day who runs around screaming for his mother and therapist. As far as I can remember it's about the Jewish guys search for love and I think he dies in the end. All I know is that I cried and cried.

Edit

5. The Truth about cats and dogs.

A very funny and beautiful film that doesn't make me cry but gives reassurance to all the plain women out there that there are guys who value women for their personality and beauty within rather than looks.

That proper King Kong film is guaranteed to have me breaking my heart every time I see it.

5. The Truth about cats and dogs.
I've been in love with Janeane Garofalo ever since I saw that film.

I've seen (2) and (5)
I loved Secretary. Absolutely adored it. Was such a beautiful, sweet film.

I liked (5) the first time I saw it, but less so the second. Love Paul Rudd though.
