Cry Me A River
It’s been a L O N G while since I’ve sat down with a box of Kleenex and a good ole tear-jerk movie.
A very, very long while.
Too long, actually.
Every so often, whether I feel the need or not, I should.
I should plop my bottom down in my cozy recliner and bawl my eyeballs out via a love story.
Because a good cry cleanses the soul.
It truly does.
It purifies, energizes and invigorates too.
Oh. Yes. It. Do.
So as crazy as this may sound, I think I will pick a weekend in August to have myself a Cry Fest.
Just me and my Top 5 uncontrollable sobbing movies
& WHAT, pray tell, are those movies ?
Well .. ! …
Funny you should ask.
Hands down the BEST love story ever, Ever, EVER
& if you have yet to experienced, you must.
You MUST ! !
Christopher Reeve.
Jane Seymour.
Time travel
& the MUSIC
There is no better soundtrack.
Period.
Somewhere in Time is absolutely incomparable.
ohmygosh.
YOU MUST.
2. Brian’s Song
This movie describes the friendship between Chicago Bears Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers.
What a beautiful story !
James Caan
Billy Dee Williams
ohmygosh
I can quote the exact lines in that wonderful heart-wrench-er that will turn on my waterworks every single time.
My personal favorite ?
I love Brian Piccolo …
& pipe in the Brian’s Song theme song …?!?
I am not an animal. I am a human being.
Need I say more ?!?
SOB. CITY.

4. Carousel
Oh Billy Bigelow ! why’d you have to rob that place and die ????

& the songs
If I Loved You
and
You’ll Never Walk Alone ??
can someone hand me a hankie please ??

thanks.
& finally
I remember watching this movie way, way back in the day.
Mom insisted.
Sisters and I obliged.
I can still hear our chorus of muffled wails when Catherine hauntingly called Heathcliff …Heath….cliff …
& Heathcliff’s perfectly worded vow …
If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime, he couldn’t love you as much as I do in a single day.
Oh my.
How I do love love stories.
So yep.
I believe I am going to go for it.
I must.
It’s been much too long since I’ve let those tears loose.
So, if you happen to wonder where I be ?
sniffle sniffle
snort snort
dab dab
This is going to be GREAT !
