Having watched the movie before I thought I would watch it again and hope not to shed a tear. Yeah, that didn't go well. I still cried.
Love the movie. It touches my heart. But, it also hits close to home with the main character having Alzheimer's.
If you have never watched the movie, I recommend you watch it. Keep the tissues handy though.

Another movie that I have loved is "The Bridges of Madison County." That one brings me to tears too. Have you seen that one @Kandae11?

I saw this movie many years ago - a sobber for sure. It was good though these days I tend to seek out movies that don't make me cry.

I don't intend to cry when I watch any movie. However, my old soft heart sends the tears flowing when there is a movie that gives me cause to cry.

You really should rent the movie. James Garner and Gena Rowland are wonderful.

@JudyEv you should rent the DVD if you can. It is a very moving film. Yes, there are sad moments, but it all plays out well.

@ElusiveButterfly No I haven't. We went to the drive-in once and saw 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter' and that was very sad with a terrible unexpected sad ending. We were both so upset we drove away without putting the speaker back out on its stand. The brought us back to earth pretty quickly.

@Happy2BeMe maybe we are trying to test our ability to control our emotions.

Oh if is a tear jerker. I will pass. I tend to avoid them. As tear jerkers lead to migraines. I will take your word to it being a good movie.

@rusty2rusty I watch my fair share of them. Lately it is usually by chance that I come across them.

@ElusiveButterfly I have come across a few like that. I watch it once. Once is enough for me. My daughter enjoys those tear jerkers films. I will ask if she has seen it yet. If she has i will let her let me about it.

They play it in a loop. As soon as the credits run at the end, they start up from the beginning.

I started watching it when they were dancing in the street, watched it til the end. Then watched it again from start to finish. I am a glutton for punishment. Cried again.
