Ghost

I can only remember truly crying at one movie in my life.

Becoming misty-eyed doesn't count. I've become that at the conclusion of such movies as Gladiator.

When I was a little 5 year-old Erik, I was taken by my Mother to see Ghost, starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg. I don't remember too much from the movie. I remember the potting wheel scene, Whoopi's performance as a medium in general, and Carl's being dragged to Hell (scary!) most vividly.

Oh yeah, and the Unchained Melody.

I'm pretty sure that I was crying my eyes out by the conclusion of the first verse. Hey, I might have been five years-old, but I obviously wasn't too young to understand the abstraction that is romantic love.

Movies that are tear jerkers for me:
Gladiator as well. Near the end, the music did it for me.

Moulin Rouge, The Weding Singer, and then Super Troopers because I was laughing so hard that my eyes started watering.

When I was little, Ghostbusters scared the snot out of me with those dogs that came to life and slimer too. Now that I am older, this is one of my favorite movies of all time.
