Sad Movies :(

I wanted to make a list of the saddest films I have ever seen. I mean films that are real tear jerkers. Films that you had better bring a box of tissues if you are going to watch it. The problem is I have not seen that many tear jerking, tissue box needing, very sad films. I say film because not all of the items on my list are movies as you will see in number one. So without further adieu here is my list (with explanations).

1. Rams vs. Titans Superbowl recap. Yes, a few weeks ago when the Superbowl was upon us they were showing films of past Superbowls. I know how this game turns out, but that doesn't account for the dramatic retelling of how the Rams despite being a super offensive team all season were struggling to score touchdowns. The game came down to the wire, and Mike Jones tackled Kevin Dyson with no time left to secure the Rams' first Superbowl. I literally had tears in my eyes as I watched this "film".

2. The Notebook. Ok, I did not cry, nor did I have tears. And in fact I saw this movie a half and one times. Yes, I said that correctly. I watched the second half of the movie first then the whole movie. The story goes: I was at camp, and my friend, Mike, was in our staff lounge watching the Notebook by himself and I came half way in. I enjoyed the second half so I wanted to see how it got there. We then watched the movie again in its entirety. Everyone says this is a super sad movie so I put it on my list, and I think it was sad.

3. UP. The sadness in the beginning of the movie far overshadows the happiness achieved at the end. It was good, but sad.

4. Ok, I can only think of three. I know it is lame. What can I say? I like action, thrillers, comedies.

Maybe, I should see more sad films and really expand my experiences in film. I do not want to take the blame for this one though. I want to displace blame on all the people (read women) who are in my life for not taking me to task by making me watch sad movies. When the reason I have seen The Notebook is because my bro was watching it, well, I think all women should take that gauntlet up.

Welp, that's it.
