My Favorite Sad Movies

Do you ever find yourself actually wanting to watch sad movies?  I do sometimes.  I'm not really sure why.  Maybe it's because there are so many stupid and pointless movies out there that I would rather bawl my eyes out at the special and sad meaning of a movie than waste my 2 hours starting at something meaningless.

Here are a few of my favorite sad movies (and by favorite I mean movies that make me cry so hard my eyes might actually pop out of my head) in order by release date:

(2010)
Not the best movie in the world but I was ridiculously shocked and saddened by the end because I just didn't see it coming.

(2009)
Ok, I admit, I didn't actually see the movie.  I saw a few bits of the movie but I knew I wasn't going to be able to see the whole thing so I turned it off.  I have read the book, though, and I cried like a baby.

(2008)
I don't even know what to say.  Every time I watch this movie I cry but I can't NOT watch it.  It's such a good movie and such a unique idea.

(2008)
What's not to love about this movie?  I mean he gives up his life to help the lives of the people he hurt. 

(2008)
This movie is haunting.  Anytime you include innocent children, there are bound to be tears.

(2008)
Why didn't you just rat her out?!  Why did you let her go to prison?! 

(2008)
If you don't cry at Marley & Me there is something seriously wrong with you.

(2004)
One of my favorite movies of all time.  I can't believe it's 8 years old.

(2004)
I was actually really angry when this movie won best picture at the Oscars in 2005.  Not because there were really any other good movies out there, just because I hadn't seen it so I didn't think it deserved the award.  I was wrong.  It should have won them all.

(2003)
Such a simple and crazy movie but it makes me cry every time.

(1997)
What?  You don't think Titanic was a tear jerker?  You're CRAZY!!  I remember seeing this movie in theater! 

(1993)
Of course I was 10 when this movie came out so I didn't really understand the true meaning of the movie until I was much older.  One of the best movies ever made.  And it just happened to be playing on our Showtime channel this past weekend.

(1990)
Again, a movie I didn't understand until I was much older.  It's a classic.  It's sad.  It makes me cry every time.


I'm sure there are 100 more movies I could list but I'm all sadded out for now.  What movies make you cry?  Do you like that sappy crappy feeling you get from watching tear jerkers or do you just try to avoid them all together?  Is it weird that sometimes I just like to watch a good sad story?

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...
