I read the Postman years ago as it was from one of my favourite authors, David Brin: I though KC made a reasonable job of it and I really enjoyed seeing TomPetty getting a go.
Biggest tear jerker right now has got to be Love Actually where ironically Liam Neeson mourns a dead wife. I think its very sad and I really feel for the bloke.

You can't help but be mesmerized by his acting... He**, he even had me going in Taken.

Sunshine - When I first saw it at the cinemas, I cried when Capa fell and got to his feet trying to get to the bomb. I cried again when he activated the bomb, and I still had tears when his sister received his message:
I love that scene.So, I just wanted to let you know that I don't need the message because I know everything you wanna say. Just remember it takes eight minutes for light to travel from sun to Earth, which means you'll know we succeeded about eight minutes after we deliver the payload. All you have to is look out for a little extra brightness in the sky. So if you wake up one morning and it's a particularly beautiful day, you'll know we made it.

I must admit lore, that I cried after I saw Sunshine at having spent $25 on a premiere seat and wasted 2 hours!Loremaster wrote:Sunshine - When I first saw it at the cinemas, I cried when Capa fell and got to his feet trying to get to the bomb.

What always make my tearglands hyperactive is any movie in which Jesus Christ is nailed to the cross. And I'm not even a Christian.

I'm glad you liked it... it never really resonated with me (the whole movie, that is).matrixman wrote:Deep Impact was another fairly good tearjerker. It had a lot of good moments, but what really got me was when Tea Leoni's character gave up her seat on the helicopter for the mother and her kid.

I must confess to liking Armageddon more, I think its the better film if not necessarily the better story. I liked Deep impact but I got a bit frustrated with half the lead characters trying to commit suicide. Tea Leonie, the hobbit and his underage wife.... what's wrong with their parents making them go to shelters and saving their lives and their parents genes! I must also say that the "writers" carry on as if no-one else has ever read Niven and Pournelle and that "their" story is not a rip from Lucifers Hammer!matrixman wrote:Hey, that's a good one: Deep Impact doesn't resonate with you.
Well, at any rate it was more of a tearjerker for me than Armageddon was (if we're comparing killer asteroid flicks).
