i've looked over the poll results, consulted with the committee*, and have decided upon the following selections for my Day of Sadness:
1. schindler's list
2. terms of endearment
3. brokeback mountain
4. sophie's choice
5. a to-be-determined sad kid's movie (dumbo or fox and the hound or old yeller) to end things on a "lighter" note
just looking at that list gives me a panic attack; cc will have to barricade the doors to keep me from running. and i know there are more, i know this is just the tip o' the sad things iceberg, but i've gots to start somewhere, no?
thanks again for all your suggestions (sorry there wasn't room for rush hour, nik - at least not this round) and i'll keep you posted on how it goes down.
*cc and i like to reference "the committee" when one or the other of us is acting up. "the committee and i have been discussing your recent leaving-the-coffee-machine-on behaviors. and we're looking into revoking your privileges." etc.
I missed the vote boat. Two sad but inspiring...Phenomenon and The Jack Bull. Can't believe Clay didn't put in for The Ice Storm which I also could watch over and over. Cindy C
ReplyDeleteForgot to vote for The Pianist. View it. Cindy C
ReplyDeleteYeah - Pianist. Agree.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to pretend my mom didn't put Phenomenon on there.
ReplyDeletei love the ice storm, too! but that's a diff't, less over-the-top, type of sad. which is probably why i liked it.
ReplyDeletei'll definitely see the pianist - cc swore it was sad, but mostly inspiring. so i took it off the terror level red list.
